I just bought a PS3 bundle with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. I've never played a Metal Gear game before, but I think I have the original game from the PS1 laying around somewhere.

If anyone here could help me out... Does one need to have played the entire series to "get it"? Will the plot be totally lost on a noob like myself?

Well they definitely progress from one to the next. You could read through the plot synopses on wikipedia if you'd like to get going on this one, but I can't help but think it'd be a whole lot mroe fun to beat the original tactical espionage shooter and then it's sequel, get to the freaking glory of Snakeater, and then play 4. I've only played about the first 5 minutes of Snakeater on someone else's PS2, but damn I wanted to get into that one so bad.

The river is moving. The blackbird must be flying.

I remember back in the day when Metal Gear Solid came out... I played the demo at Wal-Mart every single freakin' time I went shopping. I loved the cardboard box gag!



When I bought my PS2, Metal Gear Solid for PS1 was the FIRST game I bought... and lo' and behold my PS2 has a skipping issue with blue discs (common problem with the old PS2 platform)... Maybe I'll finally be able to play the game on my PS3? Although the PS3 is backwards compatible to PS1 and PS2 games, the official website says that it Should play on PLAYSTATION®3 but with noticeable issues...

Thankfully, the PS3 appears to have no trouble playing the old Star Wars titles...



I also added Grand Theft Auto IV to my cart. I'm looking forward to the next chapter of GTA. San Andreas was okay, but my character being a fiddyshit copycat was a huge turn off. The whole Russian immigrant take should be really awesome.

Well, I didn't have the patience to dig up the ol' PS1/2 games, so I went ahead and played Metal Gear IV: Sons of the Patriots. Most of the plot was totally lost one me - but the whole game played out like a movie. There were actually cinematic scenes woven flawlessly into the gameplay... you take over, throw punches or do a specific task, then the cinematic takes over. The HUD lets you know you're about to be in control. Amazing execution.

There's the 3rd person, you can go 1st person. There's driving, riding, and all kinds of different game modes to keep things spicy. All of it works good, which is rare - usually when a shooter game tries to incorporate anything else, it fails miserably.

I've already played through the first few acts all over again. I'm anal about wanting ALL of the guns and items and secret masks and crap. I'll never be able to get the infamous stealth bandanna, I'm afraid.

:'(

Anywho, this has got to be one of the best games on the PS3 right now. I should be getting Grand Theft Auto IV in the mail in a day or two - that'll be mind blowing, I'm sure.

Anyone else around here own a PS3? Got any suggestions for a game?

I have read the Wikipedia description of LittleBigPlanet four times, and I still have no idea what it's about... but damnit the sackboys and sackgirs are cute and the level designs are awesome.



"LittleBigPlanet is a community based game that gives players the ability to play, create and share what they build with other games on the PlayStation Network."

Again, I don't understand it... but it just looks awesome.

I've been playing Battlefield Bad Company (Gold Edition) and I love it.  There are a few challening battles and there is cool multiplayer/online capability as well.

P.S.--I love my 80g PS 3 and the look of Blu Rays on my TV!

I've got Resistance: Fall of Man, now that it's a $30 Greatest Hits title, so that's my current game. Pretty fun shooter so far. Nothing beats using an old pump action shotgun on a Russian speaking alien.

I might pick up Assassin's Creed, next... I definitely need to check out Bad Company, too. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed comes out next month - I'm gonna have to pre-order that one.

QuoteP.S.--I love my 80g PS 3 and the look of Blu Rays on my TV!

Yeah, the Metal Gear bundle is badass!

We don't have an HD television, so I haven't bought any Bluray movies, yet. The TV isn't a clunker, or anything, but I just doubt I will see a difference on it.


Hey! Want a MMJ wallpaper for your PS3? I made one with some custom artwork. Set the wallpaper brightness down in the theme settings and it works pretty nice... Let me know, I'll e-mail it.

With Madden '09 now on the market, and I know im getting it 1 way or the other, im def thinking bout finally upgrading. I dont see the PS3 going down in $$$ anytime soon, and I got school loan money (i swear, its the devil), so I may finally take the plunge

Loving me some Rock Band 2, right now. You can create characters to be stand-ins on stage - I've tried to create MMJ, but it's easier to do caricatures of Jimi Hendrix and Elvis Presley.

It seems like Jacket songs would be perfect for RB. OBH on drums? Sounds exciting to me!

One cool feature is that you can load up a song from the drive, and "freestyle" the drums to it... no points for being awesome, but there's at least ONE way to rock out to MMJ on Rock Band.

Civ Rev and Grid were awesome along with of course Madden, NHL and Tiger.

That said, what can we do to push the band and record execs to get a track or two as DLC on Rock Band 2.  I got 220 tracks and no MMJ.   :'(

I mean come on...OBH, Evelyn, Lay Low, O are solid possibilities.

This must happen!!!!  :D

Agreed 'cept not sure how exciting any of the parts would be until the very end.
