Quote:Congrats! Now you can save and worry every single waking moment that the save file won't be there, which it won't.
Haha, I know I know, but third-party memory cards have come a very long way since the N64 days. They actually keep your save files now!
Quote:I wasn't aware it was so close to release either. It was months ago that I last heard any REAL news, so I just decided to wait until I heard anything else or it came out, you know whichever came first. Tell me this OB1, does it come with the original Metal Gear (not Solid, just "Metal Gear") like the Japanese release of this game does? I'm still getting it anyway, just wondering is all.
Nope. :(

I've mentioned this several times in the past but stopped doing so after DJ and ABF complained about me telling people about great deals. I'll send you a PM.
Quote:Oh yes, I read that IGN review just to check things out. Those people have no idea what they are talking about. It's like they are pretending they actually played the game but were actually asking people who have from the Playstation crew what they remembered, and the PS guys lied to them or just forgot...
I remember when MGS came out Matt Cassamassina was talking about how great it was in the ign64 mailbag. They don't only play games from their specific channels, you know. I post at a Nintendo board yet--*GASP!*--I also play games from other consoles! Who knew that was allowed! :p
Quote:Ah yes, you see Weltall I actually loaded my file at the end of the game and tested the first weapon I came across, which is the machine gun built into that truck you escape in. I tried first person, and firing in first person, and they both worked fine. The only times I remember using first person though were when using the stinger missile launcher and sniper scope myself, so I suppose I didn't notice you couldn't fire other weapons in first person (though you could still look in it). Well, no matter. IGN still gives the false impression that the entire first person feature was added to the game when it was in the original version. It'll be nice to aim, though I will say this Weltall (and it probably applies to you too). When sneaking around, if I find I have to, I too aim for the head. However, when in a fire fight with lots of people around, I aim for the chest as it's a much easier target to hit.
No they didn't, I knew exactly what they were talking about when they said "FPS aiming ala MGS2". You CANNOT aim and shoot all of your weapons in MGS1. That is a very unique feature to MGS2 which has been carried over to Twin Snakes. As a matter of fact Konami themselves advertise Twin Snakes as having the gameplay from MGS2, including "first-person aiming and shooting".
