yeah but is the PSP hacked and ready to go

Hacked and ready to go. I'm even going to leave the SD card adapter in it since I don't need it.

I'll offer it up for US $90 OBO itt and put it up on SA Mart once my Vita is set up.

I'm keeping the case though. It's a modified tool case and I can use it for other things.

Fun tip: If you have any form of face camo that isn't Snake, like the B&Bs or Otacon, you can equip that and the guards will completely ignore you so long as you don't have a weapon equipped.

So if I understand this expodump right (and there's a good chance I don't), Snake's actually been working for the baddies ever since the start of the series :thunkher:

Though to be fair he also dropped off the grid after Metal Gear 2 and retired to Alaska but Campbell tracked him down and pulled him back in anyway.

Last time I played Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate I just played the single player campaign to the credits. This time since I figure it's the last time I'll enjoy the classic Monster Hunter gameplay before being spoiled by the simplified new Monster Hunter gameplay I'm trying out more stuff, doing some Hub quests, and I just discovered Deviant Monsters.

It’s on PSNow at least but yeah, I believe MGS4 is literally the only game in the series (aside from maybe Snake’s Revenge, Ghost Babel, and the Acid titles) to never get ported to another platform. Not sure why

Probably because it was designed so tightly around the bizarro PS3 architecture that porting it would be too much effort :/

the hosed up thing is thats one of the only play stations i have ever owned by buying it with my own money on purpose. borrowed my moms ps2 when me and my dorm room buddy discovered metal gear solid after I played the janky pc port of mgs. Years later I'm living in that dude's house he got for free, and we agreed to split a PS3 then like a day after purchase they announced the PS4) mostly because of Tokyo Jungle and I really wanted to play Ni No Kuni because I didn't know it kind of sucks yet. I had trouble paying rent at one point later and wound up giving him my half of the play station as a kind of half-payment and I think he wound up getting MGS4 but maybe didn't even beat it? For a while his secondhand stories were my total mgs4 experience. Ive seen watched a few random parts through LPs, mostly BIG SARU who is just clowning on soldiers usually.

He offered that PS3 back to me when he got the next one but it was semi broken at that point?

Can someone confirm this, I really hope I'm not considering spending $60 on another unfinished game.

I couldn’t care less about the story, there’s hours and hours to while away hunting mons and it all feels really good. It does not feel unfinished. That said, I am not at the end yet, though I doubt I’ll care when I get there.

I heard someone say COVID hit this game harder than they let on and that sounds right based on what I’ve heard about the endgame stuff “coming soon.”

MGS2's ending got butchered because 9/11 happened just as the game went gold. they didn't have time to rewrite anything so they just chopped a bunch of cutscenes out and farted it out the door

There was supposed to be a cutscene that showed Arsenal Gear running aground and embedding itself in lower Manhattan while knocking down a bunch of buildings. This was yanked because the game came out in November 2001. In the release version you see the ship starting to move through New York Harbor and then suddenly you're standing on the roof of Federal Hall surrounded by debris.
