Metal Gear Solid 3

[R.W.]

My only irk with this one is it seems the bosses are a little less built up. I mean, I've just walked into The Fury, and it's really the first mention of him, and his first appearance too.

Other than that, awesome game. The battle with The End was great fun.

Agreed, I would definatly love to see more of the bosses, all of them for Metal Gear Solid and this one are so intriging. There's some decent historys behind guys like Psycho Mantis, but just barely two sentences for the new guys.

My favourite boss was The Sorrow though and he actually has a story which is good.

I finally got the croc hat so I'm a happy bunny...Barely worth it but still....

[apsham]

Yeah, after you mentioned it I went out and got it myself, it didn't work all that well, but I am a very impatient person. Currently, I havwe the game saved right where I get the Raikov uniform. Since I am on the second time through, I think I'll have some fun with it.

Got a loan of it from a mate last week and completed it tonight.

Spoiler:

So Ocelot = ADAM?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Yeah.

Yeah he is.

Which puts a whole new spin on things.

Ocelot > * from the duel onwards.

The scene on the sewage outlet is filmatic gold.

So That's why he kinda helps you out in the end.

The person who you're supposed to think is a good (Eva) actually ain't while the baddie's actually the goodie.

But then I have to say from the first time you meet Eva and she doesn't answer the question I was totally suspicious of her, and my wife kept telling me not to trust her.

The highlight for me is watching Snake eat Snakes.

The low point for me was actually panicking when the flame thrower guys appeared for the first time on the top of the mountain and then when the Fury appeared.

I hate the concept of being set alight.

[Different Cloud]

Yeah, that was rather scary.

I also read last night on the Fountain of Knowledge that is Gamefaqs.com, that Ocelot is the son of The Boss and The Sorrow?

I'll need to find a site that explains the whole Metal Gear story.

I believe that is for the analysis of the ending of MGS2 and everything surrounding genes and passing on of information that is approached in the game. I found it pretty interesting.

[apsham]

It won't link proper, but in the MGS3 section of Gamefaqs, there's a rather good telling of the story as far as we know it now, including the NES games.

Got the game yesterday and finished Very Easy mode today. Very Easy is VERY easy thanks to the aptly named EZ Gun.

Also, The End is about 10 times easier if you use the Thermal Goggles. You can see his footprints that way.

Does anyone happen to know why all the Cobras explode when they die? Just wondering.

For The End the Directional Mic is the best bet.

If you can get pretty close to him and pop him a couple of times you can normally get close in and melee him as he tries to leg it. He'll lob a flashbang (stun grenade) at you but if you can get in first and then chase him as best you can, if you lose him again he'll be pretty nearby.

The riverbed is the easiest place to get him, the northernmost area with the big outcrop and gentle slope is the most fun cos it's huge.

If you see his parrot in a tree nearby, kill it. You'll hear him let out a cry of lament. He can't spot you so well then.

[public enemy]

You can also tranq his parrot and release it again so it reviels his whereabouts. So I hear anyway, I ate the thing. ¬_¬

Playing the game second time round, I realised just how easy that boss fight was. If you manage to sneak up on him once its practically the end for the old bastard. His moss camo makes the fight too easy and the mosin nagant (his sniper rifle) is useless for the rest of the game.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

The End in more ways than one *guffaws*

[EWFan2004]

Sorry to bump an old topic but do you beat the Sorrow? I used the pill to wake up twice and I'm still stuck.

[oldskool]

You can't beat him. You should just use the pill and wake up, and at that point you should move on...

[EWFan2004]

I took the pill twice and I started from the start of the river.

[Kaney]

You're supposed to get to the end of the river and touch The Sorrow's corpse, which will kill you. THEN you use the pill, at the game over screen. You aren't just using it normally are you?
