Hey! I rather enjoyed Lair, even if it was rather short and not quite as epic as I'd hoped (But then what else could you except from Factor-Fucking-Five? GIVE US LEGEND OF THE DRAGOON 2 ALREADY!!!)


And as for the smiley (and even the freak baby) it just felt appropriate for the insane genius that is Hideo Kojima. <3 MGS, and <3 Zone of the Enders.

The Legend of Dragoon was developed by SCEI, not Factor 5. They spent their career doing Star Wars games. They're also working on an unnamed project for Nintendo. (Probably Starfox.)

[Malacite]

-. - yes I know that, I do own the game and it's one of my favorites.

I was using it as an example of a good game that involves Dragons.

[jwalton]

Panzer Dragoon Saga takes a gigantic dump all over Legend of Dragoon and Lair.

[Pai Pai Master]

Well yeah. It's only one of the greatest games of all time.

By the way.


Boxart.


Collector's Edition.

[Omniblast]

Someone said something about pre-registering the game and playing multi player aspect in April, is there a way to do the same for a pre-registered one for the bundle? Yes I do realize I need a ps3 to play, so I was thinking of borrowing my friends for that.

[Caspian]

so yeah, this may end up being the first game I've ever pre-ordered in my life.

[Pai Pai Master]

Gamestop doesn't plan on holding preorders for the bundles. As you said, it kinda defeats the purpose if you're not gonna have the system until launch. Using someone else's console would help but that's a pretty small circumstance and I don't think Gamestop ever holds preorders for standard bundles. While it's a limited edition, this is the 80GB SKU that'll be available so there's nothing too special about it other than that it's packed with MGS4.

[Omniblast]

I'd rather get MGS4 than Motorstorm.

[Zempten]

likewise

[Pai Pai Master]

Just a neat little comparison to get the series faithful all teary-eyed....

[Kuro]

Bah, yet another game to preorder.

I'm fast running out of game money.

[Pai Pai Master]

Here's PR for the Pre-Order Bonus. Seem's we'll be getting MGS SAGA Vol. 2 DVD, in addition to the beta code.

Why does it look like Snake is using a JA?

[Pai Pai Master]

He's trying to pop a boner. Poor Old Snake. :'(
