The wait is almost over for MGS4. From mid June it will available to purchase standalone or in a bundle with a 40GB PS3 here in Australia and with a 80GB PS3 in America. Yes, I am still miffed at Sony for dropping PS2 backwards compatibility!
Last week, I purchased a mint condition copy of Metal Gear Solid 1 for PSX. The non-Platinum original version. It cost me $56, but it was well worth it. I played through it again and confirmed that it’s lost none of its magic.
I also finally finished collecting all the Dog Tags in MGS2, including those on Extreme difficulty. Although, I’m ashamed to admit I had to use my Action Replay to give myself infinite rations for some parts. It was just too hard! I purchased MGS2: Sons of Liberty when it was first released back in 2002, but about a year later Konami released MGS2: Substance which contained additional content such as 500 standalone missions. It also has a whole new set of Dog Tags to collect. I already have Substance for the original Xbox, though I will likely end up purchasing it for PS2 as well.
MGS3: Snake Eater was released in Australia in 2005, but I never played it because my PS2 was broken (or so I thought). But now I have decided that I must play it before MGS4, even though chronologically it takes place before the original Metal Gear, I still want to experience the evolution of the gameplay. MGS3 also had a re-release (this time called Subsistence) which included the original Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake games based on the MSX2 versions.
TAFE permitting, I should be able to finish MGS3 before MGS4 is released and if not, it’s no big deal really. I have plenty of time.
Not TAFE permitting man, Bwians assignment is yet to be done.
That assignment makes me want to hurt myself.
Just finished every single tafe assignment. Im going to hand my wasted tree in to tafe tomorow.
Good on you man. I need to get the group portion of the wireless assignment and then I’m good.
