Im really disappointed witht his game, 6 hours of playing and I already beat it. Waited 3 years for it to play for 6 hours. What a jip. The ending seemed rushed as well, even though it took a good hour for it to end.

There is no way you beat the game in 6 hours if you watched any cutscenes, nice try. All the cutscenes themselves probably amass to at least 6 hours, probably more.

The game is not meant to be bought and cutscenes skipped on the first playthrough - If you do that, what are you even doing buying the game in the first place?

Somehow i dont believe you, even if you skipped all the cutscenes i dont see how in hell you wold be able to beat it in 6 hours.

Actually it's been done in 4 hours 36/46 mins (Around one of the two) with all the cutscenes skipped as a speed run to get Big Boss ranking - To achieve Big Boss you need to complete the game on Big Boss Extreme, and in under 5 hours.

Hardly an easy feat anyway.

They explained his blood in MGS2, It's a replacement blood that holds more oxygen and clots much quicker, plus it's full of nanomachines. I assume that he never had it removed after the events of MGS2.

His blood in MGS4 is different from the blood in MGS2. He got his new body and new blood sometime between after MGS2 and before MGS4 started.

Going to put that in spoiler tags just in case.

But remember, there's a way to get 50% off everything in the shop (if you haven't completed the game yet, don't worry about it) ;)

Does that apply ON top of the 50% discount you get in Act 5? so 50% in Act 5 + playing Act 5 on a Wednesday = 70% off all weapons?!

No it doesn't. And please use some spoiler tags for those that aren't at Act 5 yet.

Oh but you CAN just set your system time to whatever day you want ;)

Beat it twice so far... I think I'll go on extreme easy, and go for as many badges as possible.

I tried stacking discount, sadly it doesn't work! Currently at the start of a Hard run, following my initial Normal 2 run. I'll do this, then an easy run, then an extreme, then maybe I'll try for the BBE.

Well as a reference (read only if you beat it once) The Bandana and the Stealth Camo cost $5Million DB normally, in Act 5 for me when I played Sunday it was only $2Million DB. So it goes 50% for Act 5 down to $2.5Million then 20% again to $2Million

Good game... Just bet it last night. But the ending was far too drawn out.

Wait for the credits everyone... more to come after them.

I have a question about the final stats...

I see that he killed 0, do machines count as kills, like if i kill Gekkos or if i kill the frogs on that stage where you meet Meryl or the stage where you ride the bike with Big Mama... what about bosses, does that count too???
