Default MGS: Twin Snakes

I got it earlier today. Played it for about an hour, then went to bed (working all night and staying up until the afternoon for the EB call saying its in made me tired as hell). But from what I played so far, its pretty damn good. I'm still trying to get used to the control setup. 2 odd things so far with the control setup. Tap A to quickly shoot, hold A to aim and then release A to shoot. I've noticed that sometimes I dont want to shoot or I hold A by accident (something like that, dont make me sound like an idiot or something). But I wish they would've used a diff button to aim. But remember, i still gotta play more then an hour of it

The other odd thing is that when someone calls in on the code, you have to hold Start and Press A. Was there some major reason that you couldn't put it on just start?

But anywho, enough useless ranting Now that I'm awake, and eating food with a refreshing can of Dr. Pepper, I'm gonna get back to Twin Snakes now

After playing some more, I figured out its easy to de-equip if your aiming but dont want to shoot. Just tap R

But I already found one nifty thing SK put in themselves.
*SPOILER ALERT*









The first "Book" you pick up, if you drop it on the ground, its Alexia (i think thats her first name) Roivas.













*SPOILER END*
Pretty funny. Now I can't wait to see what else SK specially included in MGS.

lol, the lack of buttons come into play there... on Ps2/Xbox it's the select button. Start would bring up a map.

Question... once you press and hold A like you want to shoot, how do you cancel the shot? On Ps2 and Xbox because of the analog buttons when it's in aim mode you have to slowly release the button no not fire... how is it on Cube?

That's strange that they used the A to shoot. The shoulder buttons of the GC are perfect for aim/shoot. Press to aim, and click to shoot.

Anyways, can't wait to play it.

I figured out that to cancel the shot, just tap R and the gun de-equips itself but no shot is made.

What game said... I was really worried that MGS:TS's controls would really suffer from lack of buttons (on PS2, MGS2 uses like every button along with a bunch of different analog sensitivities and crap), but apparently it's not too bad...

I still need money
