Love the game - little things really get me. Animation of Snake walking over dead bodies is one of those cool things.

Don't know what to make of MGO yet though - played it a few times and although I get sucked into it its too much run n gun for my liking. Didn't expect it to be that way but then again I never played beta release so I didn't know what to expect. No teamwork either in any of the games that I played - maybe an AUF game would fix that

Hey guys who've played the MGO beta, do your KONAMI IDs and GAME IDs still work or do you have to make them again?

Finished act 1 in 3hr's and am about an hour or so into act 2. Damn I forgot how many cut scenes and codec conversations are in these games, maybe that's what put me off not getting mgs3...

Really great game though, but some parts... cutscene, FINALLY get control... then WHAMMO another cutscene. Might as well done the whole bit as a cutscene, no point letting me have control, might as well let a cutscene do it for me...

I think this is why mgs is either a love or hate thing I know for a fact that the L O N G cutscene/codec convo's put a lot of people off. Don't get me wrong great production values on the cutscenes but still bit to long... Oh and don't tell me to just skip the cutscenes, thats like watching a movie you've seen before and skipping to the next chapter...

So pretty much so far, GREAT game though it seems like i've watched more cutscenes than actually taken control of snake. Some nice laughs in it too so far!

MGS has always been a cinematic experience. If you don't like the cutscenes, you don't really like MGS.

Well i do love MGS4, but MGS was never as cinematic as this. It had its moments of course, but there wasnt nearly as many cutscenes in the original as there was in this one. And since i skipped the second two (bought them, just havent played them yet) its a bit hard to see how the series has progressed so far.

The cutscenes are maybe just a bit too long.. as Chrono said, some arent even worth letting you take control of - you move like 4 paces and you're hit with another cutscene, hardly worth the effort. But its all good... i dont mind them, i just wish there wasnt so many of them in MGS4, and was on par with say the original in that respect.

Do the auto-aim disabled in the SP mode? Nothing happened when i press square while aiming a weapon. Do i need to enable it in the option first?
Anyway, do people play with auto-aim or not?

So far the game has been excellent (best cinematic experience). I'm still getting used to the gameplay though (note: i only played MGS1 before). Just wondering but what are you supposed to do when you're in alert mode? Kill the bad guys then hide or hide straight away?
I guess should be combination of both, right?
All in all, i'm liking the gameplay too (it gets better as you progress through the game)

U can do both or either.....if u hide straight away, the reinforcements will go away when Alert counts down to 0....if you decide to kill them - get them before they call HQ. If you kill only some, the others will generally call more reinforcements when they find dead bodies.....
