I finished ICO a couple of days ago and as promised now I started on MGS3. I have about 5 hours on the game so far, the plot seems good. I´m just having a hard time getting used to MGS camera style without the radar from the previous games, it´s such a pain in the ass having to use the first person view all the time to see what´s ahead.
Don't worry, you'll get use to it. It gets more difficult as the game progresses, but not by much. Get use to the idea of keeping track of your camo rating, making sure it's at the maximum possible level and don't forget to use a face paint, look around after moving a certain distance. It's not needed everytime, but it doesn't hurt to do it. Don't forget to use the tools you have. The first time, I roughed it, forgeting of the tools I had. The second time through, I used all the tools availble to me, like radar, sonar, night vision, the microphone, etc... This made for a smoother, and more fun, gaming experience.
Also, don't forget what I listed before about what to do...
WARNING! Spoiler Alert!
THINGS TO ACCOMPLISH WHEN PLAYING MGS3 FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Search and shoot all the Kerotan (green, plastic frogs) in each level. There is a total of 64. Make sure you move left or right of areas on the map to find new areas to move into and then search for the Kerotan. Many people miss the Armory just before fighting The End. Go north east, and you'll see it. Try to remember, EVERY level has one. Even the the levels during the bike chase. Shooting all the Kerotan will earn you the Stealth Suit, which is NOT a uniform. Using the "Duck" uniform you find at the big swamp during the Snake Eater mission, you can hear the Kerotan calling out to you. You'll need to press the start button first, then go back to the level to hear the call.
2. Go for 0 Alerts, 0 Kills and 0 Continues. If going for all the Kerotan is too hard, which it is in my book, then make sure you perform this instead. Reward is of course the Stealth Suit. The tranq pistol must be used on everyone, and that includes the bosses. It's easier than it sounds, but The Fear will be difficult. Remember to leave posinous food around so he'll eat that during the fight. I finished him off with only one shot and a bunch of poisonous food like the Dart Frog, Fly Argic mushroom which can be found on that level. Actually, you'll go through this level twice. It's at night the first time through, and there will be a lot of Dart Frogs around. Make sure to get rid of most of your food and collect as many poisonous items as you can. What's great about this is you can save as much as you want. So, save at every level, if you want. I recommend doing that.
3. Catch a Tsuchinoko (sp?) snake. Use a rat trap at the same area you fight The Fear. A brown turd-like snake will get captured after doing it a while. Keep it alive, and NEVER eat it. You'll get a reward of Infinity Face Paint. You'll lose it when you get captured, but you can get it back by looking on the ground at the waterfall area where you meat with Eva. Actually, you must get your backpack back first after meeting with Eva, then go back outside the waterfall to look for it. Do the same for The End's parrot, but not at the same time. Just remember to tranq it when recapturing it. It's no good if it's dead. I've confirmed you can catch this snake at G? Prud Swamp, the big swamp in the Snake Eater mission where you find the croc hat.
4. Capture all the animals and plants in the game. There is a lot of different animals in the game. Too many to list here. But, if you look out for every animal you see, and hear, capture it or kill it along with all the plants and food items like fruit, bees nest, vine melon, etc. You'll get the brown and the green face paint. I don't know how this works, because I have yet to do it myself. But, people say it's possible. Remember, you'll need The End's parrot and the turd snake. (Update: This will give you the laser tranq pistol for your next game. It has infinty ammo.)
5. When fighting The End, sneak up to him and "hold him up" to get his Moss Uniform. Aim at his head and never move from that position until he gives up his camo to you. Grab it and equip it at once, which means letting The End get away, and use it to crawl around and he'll have a lot more difficlut time trying to spot you. You'll have a 100% camo rating in some areas. The suit also replenishes your stamina when you stand in sunlight, and it lets you get the Mosin Nagant tranq sniper rifle after you defeat him with the tranq pistol only. Remember, no kills. You'll have to look around for the tranq sniper rifle after beating him. It will be on the ground somewhere where you start after beating him. The tranq rifle will make the rest of the game a lot easier for you. Remember, missed shots counts as alerts if you miss. With this rifle, you'll eliminate that from happening. Good technique for fighting The End is look for his "parrot." Tranq it, and capture it. Keep it with you until the end of the game. He'll get mad and start shooting you more if you kill it, but he wont be as effective at spotting you since he uses his bird to spot you. What the bird sees, he sees.
6. Select the pistol on the right during the WIG/Ocelot pistol fight. Never aim or shoot at him. He'll give you the SAA pistol for your next game. The pistol is awesome!
. I got to the torture room and i heard if you save afterwards you can play a game from Snakes dream and it worked....its a bit boring though.
