So tonight is the launch of one of the most anticipated titles ever, MGS4. I fist played MGS when my stepdad bought me my playstation. I got a demo for it, which due to some tragic events is no longer with me :(. When I first played the game I knew it was an awesome game, I wasn't expecting cut-scenes and voice acting. I never bought the first game until 2002. In 2002 I was at a friends house, he lived near me; this friend, I have told you about, he died earlier this year in Iraq. Wee always played GTA Vice City, because I had it. Then I asked him to bring out one of his games, the game: Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty. I immediately recognized the name and wanted to play it. After spending the night at his house I passed the game, in 27 Hours. I totally knew what I had to do, the next day I went out and bought MGS, and MGS2, soon after that I bought MGS2 Substance in early 2003. This was a game I fell in love with at first, but never had the money to get it and now, I was experiencing Hideo's 2 gifts to the world. I played through every inch of the game, I even read the books in the special areas in the games only to learn that there where 2 MG titles before that. Soon after I played the games I went to the internet to research every thing about Metal Gear. I followed every story I could get my hands on, every document written analyzing the story, everything I could gist. I bought a Nintendo Gamecube just for the sake of Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes. I watched every trailer for MGS3, I speculated with everyone about the main character perhaps being Big Boss. I had a personal MG watch going on, I never really kept track of things though, it would of been cool to have a diary with everything I found on MGS. A lot of things passed by me like water though, like The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2. I immediately went to the bank got a bank account and started ordering things online, I never shopped with ebay, always amazon, and I always got what was in my reach there. The Document of Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid VR Missions, and most recently Zone of the Enders, which contained a special demo of Metal Gear Solid 2. MGS3 came out and I beat the game the first night, 18 hours, I was mesmerized by the epicness of the game and story. Shortly thereafter I was given a PSP and straight to the store to get, Metal Gear Acid2, I had to order the first MGA on amazon. I cannot buy used, I have dedicated myself to always buy new, and there are very few exceptions, those are thrown out the window when it comes to Metal Gear though. I then bought Metal Gear Solid Graphic Novel for the PSP, and am currently anticipating the release of Metal Gear Solid 2 Graphic Novel. I have bought everything I could with my hard-earned cash, the only things I don't have as of now are the MGSTT Gamecube, MGSPO PSP, MG Ghost Babel, and MG, MG2, MG2 Snakes Revenge, for the MSX home computer/Nintedo. I have dedicated myself to Metal Gear, I have beaten the games countless times. Tonight is the last Metal Gear Solid Game that will be written, directed, & produced by the great Hideo Kojima. The game is already paid in full, and I already have some ends for a MGS4 PS3, unluckily not the gunmetal bundle, but as long as there is air in my lungs I will do my best to one day have everything MG-related. I have always though (knowing its not true) of people who wait at midnight launches to be losers/creeps/pedophiles, and all sorts our foul stuff I they have the time to spend a night or two in wait outside of a store for anything, so early on I decided I'm never going to a midnight launch. I have lived my life trying hard to not break any rules, especially the ones I set for myself, and have done quite good until now. I am proud to announce that tonight I break my morals in going to this midnight launch and I will be the happiest man ever, nothing not even a girl could be as good to me as MGS has over the years. I want to cry now...

Edit, just want to clear up some things. I'm not that upset of breaking a moral, I'm not upset at all, I fact I want to cry of happiness, MGS4 is coming out tonight! unluckily I won't be able to go to any signings but that's k, I have all I need from Kojima for the moment.

it does, it comes with mgo, and then theres gonna be downloadable content in the future, my psn is beaner2k6 what's yours?

Azumi Wrote:oh cool so the mgo beta is still going on.. you know if they will make you pay to play after it leaves beta stage?  oh and my psn id is AzuUehara

no the beta is done, MGS4 is bundled with a starter pack of MGO not beta, so yeah its awesome, idk if they'll make you pay, i think the first few downloadable things will be free, then its gonna be like with halo and cod4 n all those where you have to buy the new maps

Beaner, I'm in the same boat. i got started with my obsession two years later, but yeah, I'm in the same boat with you. It's too damn bad that I can't get the bundle tonight :( I got to save for a laptop for college. Good news is though that I'm getting a damn good Macbook Pro for $500 off, and maybe next week :)

I'm aiming for an August PS3 purchase
