Metal Gear Solid 4 Launch Discussion

Today marked the official launch of Kojima Productions' Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and the game is finally available to folks like me whose local game retailers didn't host midnight release parties last night. Those jerks.

As such, please continue to swap war stories, cool discoveries, and tales of hour-long cutscenes in the comments. Again, be wary of posting spoilers, as many of us are just tearin' into the game.

Finding yourself idle during the game's installation or one of its epic cutscenes? Busy yourself with our copious MGS4 coverage:

    Hit Wal-Mart at 6:45AM this morning. All games and bundles sold right at 6AM (Could have sworn they didn't open till 7AM).

    So I went to the office to do some work and then rolled over to Best Buy at 8:45. BIG LINE formed already. Well, didn't figure I had much of a chance, but I needed to grab a Father's Day gift anyway, and since I was already at BB, figured I'd get that over with. Doors open, line shuffles in with everyone hastily proceeding to the game section.

    Then, they announce that all bundles are up at the registers. So now the people at the back of the line are at the front. Being near the front of the store already, I make an about face and head straight there. Immediately got a bundle and was able to politely convince a manager to include a $100 gift card to match the Wal-Mart deal with some honeyed words and a quick visit to the Wal-Mart website on the iPhone. I think he probably just wanted to get the line of angry customers who marched all the way back to the game section moving...

    All the Wal-marts in my area opened at 7 AM and were sold out. I went to the closest one and they sold out when I got there at 7:10.

    I blame Shacknews for the PSA they did. However I managed to snag the last one at Target which opened at 8 AM. I ran into one of my supervisors there and I said to him, "Shouldn't you be at work?" He replied, "Shouldn't you?"

    I told him, "Well, I don't get in to work until 9:30." And then he said, "Well, let's play MGO tonight." I responded with, "Maybe, maybe.

    When I walked out of Target I showed the receipt to the security guy who an some old dude since I paid for it at Electronics (no wai) and he said to me, "You didn't buy the service plan? I definitely would have" I wanted to tell him, "Fairy tales and magic old man!" but I just said no I didn't need it.

    Just got back from Walshart with the 80gb bundle plus the $100 gift card. About 10 people in line and I got there last at about 11:50 and got the last of 6 bundles.

    I usually avoid Walmart like the plague, but with the $100 gift card I couldn't resist. Some manager came up to the register as they were ringing me up and started to get heated that the cashiers were giving away the gift card with the MGS bundle. He rushed to the nearest phone and began making angry calls to whoever as I pocketed the gift card and hastily made my way to the exit.

    Now I need to take a shower to get that, NASCAR t-shirt loving, DVD bargain bin rummaging, white trash smell off me. I'm not going there ever again. For real this time.
