Have you fought Pupa yet or met Huey?

...and are you Listening to ALL the Mission Briefings and Background Info?

It's THERE where they tie everything together!

I like it a lot because I --JUST-- finished Snake Eater before starting it and the entire game so far acts like a huge Epilogue for the events in MGS3.

The actual combat it simple, but the Outer Heaven mechanics and the Storyline... all pretty intricate!

Trust me... they really start to get into it as the characters all get to know Snake a little better...

Not to Spoil anything --BUT-- during one conversation about the wildlife in a cloud forest, Paz and Snake start talking about Sloths. Paz mentions how older Sloths move so little, they actually grow moss on them and how they seem to be more in tune with nature than other animals. Snake responds that he is reminded of this Great Old Sniper he once met... It's little touches like that, that make it seem like it ties into part 3 and make it seem that much more human and natural.

What did you make of that Tape that Paz had in her possession? The "Conversation Between two Women"...?

One of the woman's voices is immediately obvious, but I have NO IDEA what's going on during the taping. VERY bizarre!

Okay both Vader's message and Leo's message were epic. How the hell do I attach pictures? I need to do this. I have something perfect that has to be sent out and shared.

Keep playing with it and it will grow...

...and by IT I mean the functionality of Swapnotes.

First you get to add pictures, then you get different Stationery, then you get the 3D Pen so your images pop out. You are also given the option to add sound, but for this you need to pay 15 Play Coins (or whatever they are called)... I find this last one... odd. I don't know if any more options open up after that. Some color would be nice and maybe a flip-book kind of option. I guess we'll see!

It's not THAT bad! I opened all these options up with a few minutes usage!

Ohh I must check swapnote.

PW got better. Enemies put on helmets, no more easy tranq KOs which changes the stealth gameplay totally. Plus I am getting even more options to mess with on the base, its crazy how much content there is. Its like Xcom with a bit of AC Brotherhood (though I guess this came out first).

Yeah. They haven't outright said it yet, but I met someone else further into the game... the maker of the tape... and her circumstances pretty much confirm what you said.

Its going to be interesting. I am kind of upset that Heuy is there, really is the circle of friends that small that Boss knew Otacons dad and they both meet almost the same way. But its cool to have them two together again. And how old is Master Miller or is that his dad. And where is Campbell, I know he was in PO.

Sounds good!

I forgot to bring tranq weapons. Oops.

I can make a Metal Gear, awesome!!!
