It’s a really good game. Loving the Ashley Wood artwork and hey Steve Blum can fake a spanish accent for a few words! :lol:
The downside is the same one I suspected before I even purchased the game. It’s a very difficult game to play on-the-go. Hell I missed a train waiting for a LOOOOONG ass FMV to finish! This is the same reason why I play MGS home console games with the telephone disconnected. 
It’s cool, I’ll just play at home for now I guess.
Yeah. The interactive cut scenes do eat up time. I’m grinding for men. I find the idea of kidnapping people for an army to be a tad insane.
I still miss dragging people though. Everything else is fine though.
I havent really found a definative answer to this simple question: can the story mode be played with upto 4 people or is it only possible with 2 players.
Mostly 1-2 it seems. 4 is usually boss battles from what I noticed.
I think I’ll need help soon to co-opt boss battles (I need people who also are doing a no-kill run), so hit me up on PS3 Adhoc Party over the weekend.
How do you do the extra op missions? I keep getting an error saying “Snake is not available for this mission”.
Ugh. This needs to be repackaged for PSN or something. The controls just take so much out of Peace Walker without that second analog stick. Also hate the Ashely Wood artwork cutscenes, but I can live with that.
Funny, Portable Ops had infrastructure Kojima! Anyway, what’s so hard about boss battles? Just put everyone to sleep and Fulton their asses. Then once infratry stops flooding the battlefield, damage the boss vehicle till the commander comes and put him to sleep too. I only started attempting this with Fulton 3 and the M. Nagant (tranq sniper rifle). You may run out of fultons though.
Some Ops have special requirements. Use the analog stick to scroll through mission details. The one you are referring to requires you to use one of your MSF soldiers. No big whoop.
Visiting Gamefaqs is so risky with some games. I read one too many things last night. Here’s some vague tips:
Use the above tactic to gain mechs. You don’t have to tranq everyone either.
Shoot their pods only to be awarded parts.
Shoot their parts only to get corresponding memory boards.
Yes, she needs to go to sickbay every few missions.
First time in a boss battle, bring a supply marker.
What do most of you guys use control-wise. Jees im so stuck in mgs4 that i cant un-learn…lol. They always mess with these controls. I tried both and just cant get comfortable.
I just started playing and i made the mistake of bringing it to work…lol. Ok kojima no more metal gear for awhile can i please have 1080p Zone Of Enders 3 now…I’ve spent enough money on mgs stuff.
I use HUNTER MODE©, because I’m a HARRRRRDCORRRRRE GAAAAAMERRRRRR.
Still wondering where you go to find Kojima…
Check all the trucks except for the one that ends the cut scene.
I use shooter.
I figured, but how do I select one of them?
Have you not used Mission Prep yet? Didn’t notice that you can switch out characters when you hit Snake’s name? You pick whoever is in your commando unit at the time.
So I beat the game. What the hell was that story? That shit was awful. Every other Metal Gear has had a better story, cept maybe Solid 2. But yeah that was… something.
I have to say though, that because of the mission structure and level layouts, every area just feels like a game map and not a real location like in every other metal gear. Like the fact that you don’t hide under anything feels weird. Like I ran into a table and almost tried to hide under it. Little stuff like that means a lot and it is there that Portable Ops has Peace Walker beat. That and PO had INFRASTRUCTURE. Still though, it’s been a fun and addictive romp (whatever you are doing it’s always fun) and it’s a reason to buy a PSP.
Played the demo today really impressed will definatly be picking this up when it drops in the uk.
I got 44 hours into this game. 44 fucking hours with no end in sight. Fucking KOJIMA!
Anyone playing this on XLink? I’ve S Ranked by myself all the Story Ops and all the non-Boss Extra Ops (and all the MH Ops, including 128), but I’m going to need some help if I want to S Rank the Custom AI battles.
I just beat my baby. I like how the story takes a very dark and foreboding turn.
You saw the 2nd ending, right? There’s still more plot stuff after that…
;_;
Were they trying to turn this game into one that you can never beat?! Damn it I’m gonna be at 60 hours soon.
I can’t believe that this game is still not on the PS Store… wtf??? Trying to buy that shit, yo!!
So how would people buy this game if they only have a PSP Go? Good thing I don’t have one of those…
It has been on sale since late Nov. on the PSN for 20 bucks.
Portable Ops and Peace Walker are some top tier MGS games. I feel like if Peace Walker should have been MGS4. Farming for tanks and helios for my private army has never been so addicting.
