Well after finishing GOW3 the other day I decided today that it was finally time to play MGS4. I got it when I got my slim at launch but its just been one I've not gotten around to.
Now my disclaimer here has to be that the ONLY MGS game I have played is MGS2 and I really enjoyed it. There were some bits that I didn't understand having not played others but I was cool with that.
So in goes the disk, the install takes 15 mins or so i think and no patches are needed. Not so bad. Though I did like the health warning screens during the install having Snake smoking in the background.
So I start a new game and I get the gameshow intro and the advert (both me and the Mrs are like wtf) then eventualyl I get to move snake around and after a few seconds i'm told to go under the truck, I do that and then control is taken away again for another re animated bit, then i get control again and I have control for a good 30 seconds, still with no idea what the hell i'm supposed to be doing or how to do it. Then the chase/fight scene with the leggy machines and then i'm watching me at a grave adn then a dude rocks up in a chopper and I get in with some suit. Finally i'm allowed to play again in an alley and ive got to get to the MK2 to get the data from it.
I still have no idea what to do or how to do it. I kind of snuck past the first 2 dudes that are walking up either side of the street, I walk behind the sandbags and another dude hears me, walks over, alert, kills me.
Quit game.
Does the rest of the game allow me 3 minutes of actual play time per hour? and at some point does it get explained to me how to do anything?
