  • I remember a few bugs actually, one where I got totally stuck in the environment and another where I fell through the world when trying to take cover.  Other than that and the already mentioned not-so-obvious-where-to-go-platforming, I can't think of anything. Great game =)

    This'll be an interesting read.  EDIT: Well, no, still not interested in this game. It sounds too much like the first game.

  • @natetodamax said: " I'm no fanboy or anything, but I've spent several hours with the game and it definitely deserves a score higher than an 8.5. Nothing like a full blown 10/10, but the game is better than that. "Sure, that's your opinion. Reviews are, and always have been, a matter of opinion. People have different opinions.

  • I'm 21, and I get about 2-3 hours every weekday evening at most. I study programming at the local university so I don't have as much time to play games as I'd like. I try to get my friends together on weekends for some local multiplayer sessions when I can.

...after completing it on Normal first. It feels like you have to be reeeally careful all the time because the slightest mishap can cost you your life (just switching cover while escaping from a grenade has gotten me killed numerous times!).
 
So now I only have one trophy left to obtain before Platinum: Completing the game on Crushing. To those of you who have done this, do you have any hints or tips for me that might make the experience easier? I'm fairly bad at these kind of games, and the only reason I even finished Hard was because I tried really hard until I made it (it felt kinda like banging my head against a wall at times).
 
What I've discovered so far that I didn't know during my Normal playthrough:
- Apparently the Guardians' crossbows are very useful against other Guardians
- The explosive blue resin is a lot more useful than I thought, and intentionally placed
- Most difficult encounters give you some sort of advantage, be it a weapon or propane tanks or the resin
 
UPDATE: Thank you everyone for your comments, they've really helped so far! I just finished chapter 18, Heart of Ice, and it's gone surprisingly smooth. For some reason the step from Normal to Hard felt a lot more difficult than going from Hard to Crushing! I also appreciate the video tip on the last boss, but here's hoping I won't have to resort to using it =)
 
UPDATE: I got my Platinum Trophy only moments ago =) Couldn't have done it without your advice, thanks guys! I must admit I played that last boss for a sucker but I didn't use any glitches!

I'm trying to do my part and add some screen shots, blurbs and related games whenever I see holes in various games I come across (and know something of). If only I could figure out how to change the box art for a game.

I uploaded some screen shots and the box art for Torin's Passage, and even though I tagged the box art as box art, it chose a random screen shot instead. Strange stuff.

But instead, my Monday will be spent exploring the site. Very good first impression!

Best single player experience available - but not for everyone. (PS3)
In this game you play as Old Snake, an aging war veteran who sneaks, crawls and rolls (and shoots!) his way through the battlefield.Metal Gear Solid 4 is the best single player experience I have ever had. Since you, who are reading this, is not me, and I am not ...

Awesome Yelp review typo on local burger joint: "Nothing spactacular. Ambiance leaves a lot to be desired. Prices are ok and god is so so."

My new power to change the GB homepage's tagline at will is surely going to lead to ruin.
