How the **** do you get the expansion pack?????????? I put in my credit card information and everything and then I get to a page where it says I need Javascript enabled and it has a button to continue but I press it and nothing happens. Thats as far as I can get. Seriously...**** Konami for making this such a cluster**** such a joke.

anyway i completed the chicken run, found out that you can just do certain actions over and over again to the same person to get gibbon, ant and bee emblems. since then done a few more of the cat emblems. they have mutally exclusive requirements so you can't do them in one go. and now i'm doing a run to get the big boss emblem. after that i'll just have panther and spider to get. i did all the emblems on solid normal so far. some people put the game into easy to get them quicker.

Crazy rumor time:

December 12 or 6 months after the day release of MGS4 something will trigger in the game a continue to the actual final.
In other words, the game will unlock a new ending after 6 months. It will be synced up with the PSN clock. Ever notice in the credits VOICE OF GOD: Hideo Kojima? Crazy I know, but it is a rumor.

that is crazy.

 

[Electro UK]

Tha'd be pretty cool. I doubt it'll be anything serious though. Probably a merry christmas joke.

 

[KALEL114]

Yeah. When I read it I thought of "Silent Hill's alien/ufo endings" type thing. Should be fun if true.

 

[Electro UK]

I really kinda hope it is a Christmas joke. I was so relieved that I didn't have to see

Snake die at the end. I really felt like he deserved to make it through and it was up to the audience to decide how he lived out his final days, and how long he lived for. If I saw him die, it'd take away MGS4's for crowning achievement for me: An ending that in no way shape or form left me dissapointed, wanting more, or leaving bits to clear up.

the voice of god refers to a hidden L1/x flashback in the psycho mantis part.

also events like sunny's birthday are linked to the system clock. which makes it less likely but not impossible that they'd have another time based system in place aswell.

 

[Electro UK]

I thought the voice after Mantis died was The Sorrow?

 

[uchiha_itachi]

if you keep pressing the button hideo's face pops up and he says somthing. it dosent scream "voice of god" though.

Still can't buy it through the MGO shop. Anyone here get the expansion successfully? So not only do I have to pay more money to play more levels but I can't even pay for it it is just dangling there in front of me like some kind of cruel joke.

 

[Danalys]

konami's servers are just rubbish. can't believe sony let them go the cheapo route rather than just having the stuff on the PSstore

 

[RyanJ]

I bought the expansion plus for $14.99 and the purchase went through. On my character select I can have a new character slot and I have access to survival mode. I can't find anywhere to download the 3 new maps though. Has anyone downloaded the new maps and played them?

edit: Nevermind the maps are included with the version update.

 

[Mr. Credible]

are there any new character customize options in the upgrade?

 

[uchiha_itachi]

you can make a woman i think

IF this is true, and its a big if...I'm guessing it is a joke. Kojima is known for his sense of humor and this type of joke seems right up his alley. Kinda like the Metal Gear Raiden thing.

Wow.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Is his model based on Tom Selleck?

[Timstuff]

LOL, check out this MGS4 "demake."

 

[SpideyLad]

Is his model based on Tom Selleck?

Spoiler

Lee Van Cleef, apparently. So no, not Tom Selleck.

 

[Superhero 101]

Sellecks Mustache is to long.

Hey, I finally beat MGS4, and I have a ****load of questions. I'll read through the thread later, but that's around 200 pages, so that can wait.

1. How do you start a game where you have all your old stuff? I loaded my finished game, but I just start out like normal, so idk.

2. How the hell can Raiden hold back the titanic, but can't free himself from under a couple boulders?

3. Why is Liquid Ocelot so much better at CQC in eastern europe, but not at the end?

4. Who was everyone's favorite boss? I think mine was Laughing Octopus.

5. How many people fell off the building against Raging Raven?

6. Did anyone else feel let down by the last boss fight? I know I was. I just expected more, considering all the B&B fights(except for mantis), the Gundam fight, and Vamp were superb.

7. And I actually fell asleep after Big Boss held Zero. Is it true that Solid put a cigar in his mouth?

8. Did anyone else find the fights with the beauty's totally pointless? I think that could've been taken out without messing up the game, as well as the commercials in the beginning.

God, there was so much great in that game though. The first time I went through the FROG battle, as well as the Octopus, I just couldn't help thinking how awesome this game was. Next time I play I'm skipping the explanation parts though, those were a huge waste. Also, the part with MGS1 screwed me royally, cuz I never played it before, and the graphics were so bad I couldn't find the vent until a friend told me what to look for. Also with Vamp and Mantis I never would've thought to use the syringe, thank god for FAQs.
