MGS2 was released for the Xbox (and PC) 1 year after it was released for PS2

if you focus solely on the story I think you could probably beat this game in about 12-15 hrs tbh, speedrun guys will probably do it in 10 easy

Quite the difference and it obviously will sell well above 3m, still nothing on when you said MGS4 couldn't even run on the Xbox

That blackpool sun has messed your head up brah

All the previous MGS games were console exclusive before legacy collection. Despite that the whole series has sold over 40m games including TPP

and Kojima himself said MGS4 can't run on Xbox.

Got an S rank in the 4th mission and did it in 2 mins by speed run. Put the landing zone right in the base, destroy the comms system via chopper gun and just gtfo Laughing

yeah, that's one of the GOAT things about the gameplay, the sheer options in terms of approaches to the mission goals, I am sure 90% of the missions can be done under 5-10 minutes if you perfect them, could probably speedrun the game in 6-7 hrs actually

like I said, I spent a good 60 minutes on that mission with the you know what when you're supposed to extract the truck, but I did it in under 90 seconds the second time around

by RealGunner Thu Sep 10, 2015 4:53 pm

Apparently getting S rank on that 'destroy the various vehicles' is really difficult.

You didn't mention console exclusive though and considering how this one isn't I don't see how that's relevant.

Also what Kojima said is absolutely as relevant as Microsoft people saying the same thing, there was more graphically and technically demanding games on the 360 tbh.

Also the Lisbon weather might have fried my brain hmm

by RealGunner Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:04 pm

Did MGS4 get released on anything other than PS3 lol?

MGS, MGS2 and MGS4 all are top 5 most sold games on PS1, PS2 and PS3.

Phantom Pain will follow that as well. Pls unpack your caravan and relax.

And MGS4 can't run on Xbox360. It's widely accepted. Not sure why you are trying to argue? MGS4 took ALL of bluray capacity on ps3. 360 can't even go higher than 5gb ffs

by Kaladin Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:06 pm

Its not the graphics that the Xbox couldn't handle, its because the Xbox didn't have a 6 cell processor as such it was impossible to implement the Octocamo

See how fast it switches when you enter new terrain? Thats what he meant

Plus i remember reading that you need more than 3 CDs for the Xbox Laughing

(They didn't have BD discs)

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:08 pm

Discs thing is irrelevant considering some 360 games were on 3 discs lulz.

Also I'm very relaxed brah just some banter as is necessary when in English shores imo hmm

by Kaladin Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:13 pm

MGS4 filled up the BD disc fully (50gb). Even with a dual layered DVD (6-9GB) you would need like 6-8 discs Laughing

by Kaladin Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:13 pm

Most X360 games were under 7 gigs Laughing

Mole needed to be humble after this mad banter with the Geordie lasses

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:22 pm

Still could have done it lol and I guarantee they would have if Sony didn't have it if it wasn't exclusive.

Stahp fanboy pls.

by RealGunner Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:30 pm

Done something which is impossible

seems legit

by RealGunner Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:31 pm

also pls stop ruining this thread

take this to xbox thread

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:37 pm

Ok.

BTW how big is this game, want to get but just bought Arkham City and got like two weeks to complete that and this lol until NBA 2K which will consume me hmm

by RealGunner Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:38 pm

Depends if you like to do everything

Quite a massive game overall. But if you just want to finish it for the sake of it via gung-ho then 4 days best.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Sep 10, 2015 5:40 pm

I do eventually but I can come back to that later, just want to complete story really.

by RealGunner Thu Sep 10, 2015 6:00 pm

You were right Firenze

something going to be announced on Sep 11.

If it's a DLC then Proud

Really hope DLC covers events up till MGS1 but obviously won't go that far. Also inb4 it's some skins DLC

Kojima has never released a DLC before so this might not be it at all Sad

by Mr Nick09 Thu Sep 10, 2015 6:06 pm

Just recruited an A soldier name "Mad Eel" rofl

by RealGunner Thu Sep 10, 2015 6:12 pm

lol some of the names are hilarious.

Saw a great way to sabotage a tank. Place a decoy with C4 planted on it. When a tank comes, blow it up Laughing

by Mr Nick09 Thu Sep 10, 2015 6:15 pm
