The Clip if you’ve never seen it before.
Recently I’ve been archive my PS3 library of games, and I just finished backing up MGS4. Normally a third party PS3 game is between 7-12GB, however MGS4 is 33GB. To play MGS4 on a 360 you’d need like 4-5 DVD’s depending on how they compressed it.
Didn’t realize how large games were back even a decade ago.
MGS4 felt like it was a whole console generation ahead at the time. Even in retrospect it could pass as a PS4 game.
I played MGS for the first time recently, and it felt like a PS2 game with older graphics. Would’ve blown my mind as a kid if I had it back then…with a guide, too. Otherwise, I never would’ve figured a bunch of that stuff out, haha
I had the luck of having it when I was a kid. It did blow my mind.
Two of the parts that come to mind that need a guide are contacting Meryl for the first time, and the Psycho Mantis fight.
Tap for spoiler
Meryl was tedious because her codec frequency was printed “on the back of the CD case”, not an item in-game, but literally the case where the game came in. Due to rampant piracy in my country, it was hard to get it in a case with the back cover, so my solution was to try every frequency.
Mantis has two ways to kill him. You either have to swap the controller to port 2, or shoot at a bust of him. Which one you can use depend on difficulty IIRC.
