Wow. Anyway I'm done posting about Rising on GB for a while, but I think people should know because it's so easy to miss out on the mostly interesting and funny dialogue between Raiden and friends.

For the amateur radio operator achievement trophy:

This Achievement/trophy requires you to listen to at least 400 of the total 540 unique Codec conversations that can occur during the events of the storyline. To hit this total, you will need to make regular visits to the Codec screen to speak with Raiden's allies. As a general rule, you will always find new lines at the start of each File, after major cinematic interludes and during boss battles. Try to visit the screen and speak with all available characters whenever there is narrative event of note: everything from the introduction of a new enemy archetype, to exposition that takes place via automatic Codec exchanges. Once characters repeat a line, there is nothing more to hear at the present time.

thats a lot of nuts

If it's voiced, I'm interested. If it's just text then its not so impressive.

It's all completely voiced.

Looks like they got that part right, i was very disappointed in MGS4 for its lack of codec conversations compared to the previous games.

I was worried about having to look for 500 codecs in the world, but that solution sounds pretty neat. Totally optional and easy to access.

So about 100 codec coversations for every hour of gamplay? That's 1,666 codec conversations a minute, WTF?

@pyrodactyl: KOJIMAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Well if the gameplay estimates that have been coming out are accurate, this will be much worst than MGS4.

Thats a lot of walking around with your fingers to your ears.

@demoskinos: It's Metal Gear... so it'll be a lot of getting on one knee THEN finger to the ear.

Raiden has advanced battle armor, he doesn't need to take the knee to charge his soliton knee pads

After 4 I'm hungry for more codec convos.

Peacewalker has 20 odd hours of codec/tapes

Is that you Kojima?

One of my favorite parts of MGS games.
