Hooray for the both of ya!

Bryan- did you get the solid Eye yet?? The detection was fine for me. ??

MadBryan · 07-21-2008, 05:36 PM

Yeah I got it. Let me elaborate a little bit. When im camoflaged against a wall or something, the guys will walk right over me and not know I'm there. Just seems weird.

KEEZY · 07-21-2008, 05:48 PM

Maybe the difficulty is too low? I'm sure that changes between the two.

MadBryan · 07-21-2008, 06:09 PM

could be I guess. I usually pick the middle if I have three choices. I'll check later if I fire up the projector

I did middlesies too. In my travels, I felt like they found me too easily at times. Granted they were in Caution mode, so it makes sense. I was pretty run and gun, so there weren't a lot of situations where I was sneaking about.

I just got done watching a buddy play this for a couple hours and I was very impressed. I can't say I would go out and buy a PS3 just for this game, but if the put out a few more exclusives of this calibre, I'm getting one.

I got this game a couple weeks ago. I'm only at the beginnig of chapter two, 8).

D_Litch · 07-22-2008, 11:29 AM

I picked the highest normal(Solid me thinks?), and I haven't noticed any guys just walking by me. If I'm blending with a wall and my Camo gauge is 85-90%, and a guard is within 6 feet of me, usually(90% of the time) he'll become suspicious and discover me. I snuck all the way through Act 1, and even had 0 Alert phases in my post-mission report. But the beginning of Act II killed any hopes I had of going through the entire game stealthily. I'm probably about 3/4 of the way through Act 3, and the one Alert phase from Act 2 is the only one I've had.

I was a bit worried when I heard my "boyeez" at MGS:TUS saying that if was actually exponentially more difficult to sneak this time around, but it doesn't seem too much more difficult. I'm really digging the whole "Distraction of War" element when sneaking through an environment. So far the only break in flow I've noticed were the boss battles, but that really what they are there for.

I can't wait to play when I get home tonight!(after I catch a 10pm showing of TDK)

It was harder for me to sneak because I wanted to take out as many guys as I could. Love those Drebin points. I would walk up on a guy only to be seen by his buddy off screen. Damn you Drebin points.

lovekeiiy · 07-22-2008, 02:39 PM

death, death, and destruction....the best way to sneak around, LOL.

I think liquid is the hard difficulty, from what I'm told.

BrewCityUpstart · 07-22-2008, 05:14 PM

I was mostly killing everyone I could. I'd even take out a rebel or two when I was bored.

GoatMother · 07-22-2008, 06:06 PM

LOL, I didn't even know I was on there side the first timeI played act II, it took me making getting caught "oh it's you" to figure it out.

You can actually shoot them a few times before they finally fight back as well. Not sure what the long term consequences are if any.

Can you get to be friends with the other side?

BrewCityUpstart · 07-23-2008, 05:22 AM

I don't think so.

GoatMother · 07-23-2008, 10:18 AM

Yeah, I guess that wouldn't make too much sense. Did you finish it yet? I'm on Act V

Spoilers:

Big room with the Mantis guy and the chick hung up like a puppet.

GoatMother · 07-23-2008, 11:54 AM

Yeah, that's who...

Spoilers:

well all the characters are screaming or crying something.. not sure why they didn't make a "screaming snake" or "crying snake" character or maybe that is chapter VII
