We think it goes without saying that the above video is spoilerific, but just to be clear, we're putting that word in bold so your eyes quickly dart to it. Clocking in at just over 152 minutes, here's a video demonstration of how you earn the Big Boss emblem in Metal Gear Solid 4, which involves beating the game on the highest difficulty with no deaths, no alerts, no kills, no recovery items, no stealth suit and no special items ... all in under 5 hours. Prepare your mind to be utterly blown.

That's ridiculous. At around 1:15 it goes:
CutScene .. Loading Screen .. CutScene .. Loading Screen .. CutScene .. Chapter Splash .. CutScene .. Codec
That's basically 4 cutscenes in a row without a single second of gameplay.

I love how everyone is using a SPEED RUN to justify how short a game is.

Well it happens. Whenever any game released is considered successful in any way, someone is always going to find something wrong with it. Some bitch and complain about game xyz getting a 10/10 or if it's truly displayed at high def resolutions or not. Some bitch about games being overhyped like halo 3 and shit on it's success every chance they get.
The funny thing is, that most people complaining and whining about new releases usually don't own or plan on getting the game. Last time I checked, any game can be beaten quickly the second or third time around.

So that's how Snake would do it.

Yes. Snake would skip all the cutscenes. I'm convinced he just zones out whenever he's doing some non-tactical-espionage-action, as he more or less just repeats what someone says in know-it-all fashion ("Personal Area Network, huh?") or utter disbelief ("Metal Gear?!!")

He's also obviously using a save after completing the game once, so there are weapons in his arsenal that you wouldn't normally have.

Wow...thats a lot of cutscenes...

This just screams "EDIT!!!" You need to check video #7 where you follow dude through the streets of europe. In that video the Enemy patrol vehicle drives right by him - I took my time on normal mode and got spotted down the damn street by it my first time through. This could all be on extra easy mode except for that first little bit of the begginning of video #1..I'm calling BS.

Seriously guys, is you want to see great speedruns, Speed Demos Archive is probably your best bet. No doubt there'll be an MGS4 in 2 hours run up in the next few months.

How does he shoot at people, have them saying "We're under attack!", as well as people aiming back to shoot at him without triggering an alert?

Whats the point of that glitch at the beginning of vid 7?

I've managed to do this also, but in a little over 4 hrs. Though there are some pretty nifty stuff he does, I didn't have the luxury of having the Solar Gun which saved him on non lethal ammo. There was no yelling "Sunlight!" for me.
I've also noticed he does spam that trigger button. You don't really need to tranquilize the enemy 3 times lol. Once in the head or in the body, then give it a few seconds to kick it. There was one point during the battle with Crying Wolf where he shot this one Frog like 7 times lol.

He makes the Liquid fight look so easy! I haven't even been able to beat him on Hard yet.

Final Destination, Snake only, no items. Go!

OMG how the hell was he able to walk in front of the PMC troops in act 3? I smell bullshit!
Posted: Jun 27th 2008 6:57PM (Unverified) said
He's wearing the Otacon face mask. The PMCs won't bother with you if you don't have one of Snakes faces on (i.e Old Snake, Young Snake or MGS1 Snake).

yeah, this has pretty much confirmed my lack of interest. It was like it couldn't walk 5 feet without a cut scene.

How is possible he have infinite ammo?
you can only have it with the bandana special item,and in the final stats there's write he didn't used it
