I really don't care.. all I know is that is a *****ing awesome game and was worth every cent paid.

duh!

well, solid lost one eye to(the left one though)

so yeah, he probably will form an army

that is what all the guys with only one eye do

keep up qj a TA-082 downgrader got released today and they still don't have it here

He just has a gadget over it.

X and O are not swapped. Japanese games that have been ported to America are often swapped because western players tend to have larger hands that are easier to hold on the lower button on a controller (most space). Apparently, Kojima or his team would rather maintain the hard work they put into packing functionality into the contollers (look at the sheer number of actions you can do in different situations with the PSP here, or the PS2 in MGS3).



If you look at the symbols, it makes perfect sense. O is an "OK" shorthand. X is a "Don't Do That/Warning" shorthand. Look at the mnuals that came with your system for confirmation.



In short, the controls are fine, they just aren't your usual playing style.

Dosen't Metal Gear Solid suck? And who is Solid Snake? What a loser!!!!!!!!

"....they put into packing functionality into the contollers"

stop saying bull*****, the only thing that it changed is that x is cancel and O is confirm, this doesn't affect the game controls at all.......you know, it has ALWAYS been like that in the metal gear solid games

well its possible their referring to the new suit snake is wearing. you dont realy hide anywhere u stand out in the open and turn it on. but we realy wont know until the game is released. mabey you can recrute a small number of people and use them in a coop game with your friend or online.

lol @ packing functionality into the contollers .sounds like an ebay listing.



metal gear has always kept the same buttons and i dont think its anything to do with functionality. its probably kojima and his way of doing stuff. some way into the game he always messes with the illusion the game is tryign to create, like fission mailed in MGS2....how many people quit the game at that point ?? lol

if raiden takes over I'm not playing MGS ever again. H'es a homo...no offense to gay people, but i dont want to control a gay hero.
