The Official Metal Gear Solid- Portable OPS thread

[Timstuff]

Rockstar and Konami are two different publishers. I wouldn't hold my breath on MGSPO coming to PS2, especially since the PS2 port of GTALCS had a somewhat "mixed" reception.

This game had BETTER not require yet another firmware update! I just finally got the newest version of EBOOT running on my 2.80 PSP, and if PO tries to make me upgrade to 3.0 then I'm gonna be PO'd.

Oh well, I heard that there are ways to get around the update requirements anyway... I'll just have to wait for one to show up before I go out and buy this game. :0

Wait, so will I need to update my PSP in order to play portable ops?

Zen hates me because im Australian

Who doesn't hate you for that reason

Your country has blighted us with Steve Irwin, Aboriginies, crappy Foster's beer, kangaroos, Survivor: Outback, bears (specifically the koala, which I bet Sir Stephen Colbert hates), and you guys occupy almost an entire continent.

I like Steve Irwin.

 

[Mentok]

Who doesn't hate you for that reason

Blas... He loves me because of my Australianness... And because I live 24 hours in the future compared to him.

Your country has blighted us with Steve Irwin,

Only because American TV loved him so much... HAd he stayed in Australia he would have been just another crazy dude yelling things on the street corner.

Aboriginies,

They are the worlds oldest surviving civilization (even despite England's attempts to wipe them all out) and thats pretty cool in my book.

crappy Foster's beer,

Once again the blame has to go to America for that one... Stop drinking it and they will stop making it.

kangaroos,

Well I did hit one in the car a few years back, thus bringing down the population a bit... I hope that helps

Survivor: Outback,

More blame goes to America for that one, but I am willing to take part of the blame.

bears (specifically the koala, which I bet Sir Stephen Colbert hates),

Yeah, he hates them and so do I. The BUNDY BEAR however provides Rum to drink and thats is so awesome its not even funny...

and you guys occupy almost an entire continent.

Only if we lie down end to end

NICE

But I am a few hours away from the midnight launch of the Wii so I am a tad preocupied.

I cant wait to pick this up though

 

[Electro UK]

Gametrailers gave it an 8.3, they say you struggle with the controls but neither IGN nor people I know who've played it even mentioned difficulty controlling.

 

[Electro UK]

Oh and Gamespot gave it a 9

 

[SpideyLad]

Oh and Gamespot gave it a 9

I needs me a PSP

Isn't Blas Mexican?

Only because American TV loved him so much... HAd he stayed in Australia he would have been just another crazy dude yelling things on the street corner.

That's what they want you to think, but the truth is that you guys blighted him with us.

They are the worlds oldest surviving civilization (even despite England's attempts to wipe them all out) and thats pretty cool in my book.

Aborigines aren't cool.

Once again the blame has to go to America for that one... Stop drinking it and they will stop making it.

Americans don't drink Foster's. You just try and blame us for everything

Well I did hit one in the car a few years back, thus bringing down the population a bit... I hope that helps

More blame goes to America for that one, but I am willing to take part of the blame.

You guys allowed it to happen, thus all the blame goes to you. Your country could have just said "No thank you" to CBS, but noooooo! Instead we got a second successful season of Survivor and now we are plagued with reality TV in America.

Yeah, he hates them and so do I. The BUNDY BEAR however provides Rum to drink and thats is so awesome its not even funny...

Let's team up and make them go extinct!

Only if we lie down end to end

No country deserves an entire continent (unless that country is the good ol' USA).

Anyways the point I'm trying to make is that:
United States of America > Commonwealth of Australia. Why do you ask?
1. We get everything first. Movies, video games, etc. Businesses care about Americans more than Australians.

2. You guys have a Queen. Who isn't even Australian! Kings and Queens are not the American way, which everyone should follow by the way

3. Even Prime Minister John Howard thinks the United States kicks ass. It's why he visted the country 7 times to hang out with the incredibly awesome President George W. Bush and even does everything Bush does such as sending troops to Iraq (because he fully understands Bush's intentions of bringing freedom and democracy to the Iraqi people and free them from tyranny), opposes gay marriage and the Kyoto Protocol, supports privatization, etc.

 

[Boom]

This game is ****ING INCREDIBLE.

Seriously, it's my favorite MGS game to date. I love you Kojima.

 

[Fran]

It's out already?

 

[Boom]

The ending conversation dropped my jaw to the floor.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Hey Boom, where do I find Sigint and Paramedic?

 

[Mentok]

Isn't Blas Mexican?

So Mexican he is awesome.

Anyways the point I'm trying to make is that:

Ahhh... Now I see... You guys are still upset over us getting HALO2 before you did

2. You guys have a Queen. Who isn't even Australian! Kings and Queens are not the American way, which everyone should follow by the way

You have Tom Cruise.

3. Even Prime Minister John Howard thinks the United States kicks ass. It's why he visted the country 7 times to hang out with the incredibly awesome President George W.

John Howard is a total dumbass... Probably why he fits in so well over in the States

 

[Mr Jide]

when is the uk release date for this??

 

[Electro UK]

The ending conversation dropped my jaw to the floor.

Damnit I still have to wait 9 months to get it! I heard the script was the best in the series history. Lucky bastard, I'm VERY jealous.

[hippie_hunter]

So Mexican he is awesome.

Mexicans are not awesome

Ahhh... Now I see... You guys are still upset over us getting HALO2 before you did

No, we let that one slide, I was just pointing out a simple fact.

You have Tom Cruise.

Touche Mentok, touche.

John Howard is a total dumbass... Probably why he fits in so well over in the States

Total dumbass, or total genius for realising how incredibly awesome America is

That really does suck.

 

[cyborg ninja 14]

I just got PO today and im impressed so far. My only nitpick is that the voice acting is only used for cutscenes leaving the rest of the text feeling bland...

 

[Zenien]

It is on my christmas list. Go me.

 

[Boom]

Here's the phone call at the end of the game.

Spoiler

Ocelot: "Well, I'll be damned. So it was you who was feeding me information. Yes, the DCI's death should pass as suicide. They'll claim he did it because he felt responsible for the theft of Metal Gear. We can look forward to a major shake-up on the seventh floor at Langley shortly. It looks as if everything is going exactly the way you wanted it. When the DCI saw the trajectory data you supplied and found out he was the target of the nuclear strike, he brought the Philosophers' documents right to me. Yes, we should have known Gene was serious about launching those nukes...Seems our insurance policy came in handy after all. He did quite well...And now I've got the Legacy. Is that all part of your script, too? Using him and the FOX Unit like that...Only you could have pulled it off. But...You won't be using me anymore......Battle data......from the Perfect Soldier? Genes...genome...?...I see...Intriguing...I'll help you with the project. But on one condition...I want him to join us. Yes, Big Boss...So that we can become the Patriots."

I'll be damned myself. It sounds like the Patriots is an organization founded not by a group, but by a single man, with the help of Ocelot. Who could it be, I wonder. Goddamnit, MGS4 is so far away.

Mexicans are not awesome
