i did a no kill, no spots run in mgs4, but you do get tranquilizers then so probily alot easier, but if this works, it will be sick.
Pacifism or torture? You know, I don't typically refrain from killing enemies MGS games. I don't cut a bloody swath, of course, but I pop the occasional cap. I guess that makes my Snakes or Raidens more anti-heroes or whatever, but it's typically done via a quick bullet to the head. I mean, when you have to drop a sucker to make the mission go smoothly, drawing out the act doesn't make too much sense. In other words, yes, I kill, but torture isn't my bag, baby.
This bit of news strongly reminds me of one of the legends of Muramasa and Masamune:
Who knows? Maybe this tale inspired Kojima Productions to allow for this (although the story is historically inaccurate, since the two never met).
Infact, that is the biggest reason why I am excited for this game. There hasn't been a Metal Gear Solid game on the PC since Substance and I loved the original (although I never played the sequel; many people said it was terrible). It's very nice to see Konami finally taking notice of the PC demographic again.
This, combined with Front Mission: Evolved coming for the PC as well, makes me really happy. It's a good time to be a PC gamer.
Source: Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masamune#Legends_of_Masamune_and_Muramasa]A legend tells of a test where Muramasa challenged his master, Masamune, to see who could make a finer sword. They both worked tirelessly and eventually, when both swords were finished, they decided to test the results. The contest was for each to suspend the blades in a small creek with the cutting edge facing the current. Muramasa's sword, the Juuchi Yosamu (10,000 Cold Nights / 十千夜寒cut everything that passed its way; fish, leaves floating down the river, the very air which blew on it. Highly impressed with his pupil's work, Masamune lowered his sword, the Yawarakai-Te (Tender Hands / 柔らかい手
"The first of the swords was by all accounts a fine sword, however it is a blood thirsty, evil blade, as it does not discriminate as to who or what it will cut. It may just as well be cutting down butterflies as severing heads. The second was by far the finer of the two, as it does not needlessly cut that which is innocent and undeserving."

To be honest, I think it's already a good thing beacuse it offers players different playstyles they can employ and not necessarilly hack or gun their way through every game. I especially like the fact that it is possible in Fallout, where character interaction is important. But even in this game, it's nice to have the option.Rogue426 said:

soooo I can see how this is new in comparision to other games but in regards to Metal Gear, how is this any news?
I cant speak for the original MG's, but im dead certain that from Solid onwards, you could play through the entire game easily without killing anyone. The only issue was that the bosses still technically "Died" although you "killed" them by non-lethal means.
I can see how with the whole sword thing that it would be significantly harder, but still, I cant say im surprised that there will be an option for the no-kill run.

I like when I am able to play a game and not kill people.sephiroth1991 said:
That way when I do kill everyone it has some sort of meaning to me
.Lord knows in Oblivion I sneak into enough houses and drive an arrow through the heads of sleeping people (I am sure to turn difficulty to easy because...for some reason...hard == I can survive an arrow into my SKULL).
But yeah
.Sneaking passed a doorway as 10,000 zombies breath deeply not sensing your presence. One false move resulting in them rushing you and feasting on your flesh.TsunamiWombat said:
I know lots of people hated it, but that scene where Will Smith goes after his dog into the building in I am Legend.
That scene really captured a level of terror that I'd love to see in more horror games. He really sold it (most folks overlook that amazing scene because of the bad CG, really a shame).
That is a good point because it makes the player more in tune with the game's world. You're not just an automatic killing machine, but someone who makes a choice to kill or not. Oblivion is an excellent example because it allows a great range of freedom in roleplaying, so increasing the available options to a player's approaches is all the better.theultimateend said:I like when I am able to play a game and not kill people.sephiroth1991 said:

OHHH!!! This is like giving a kid a lollipop and telling them not to eat it!

Hee hee hee!

I actually liked that movie a lot. I don't see how the CGI was soooo bad when people would gripe about it considering some of the downright terrible work in other films.

. The CGI didn't bother me at all, I grew up when stop motion was the thing to do.That scene should be used as an example of "selling it" I think.
I've seen it a few times and each time I'm drawn in and I feel an actual sense of fear for the character. That almost never happens for me :/.
These NPCs have feelings...lives...children...spouses...Onyx Oblivion said:
Why should he be turned into stir fry?
also....LOLMERCY
When you look at that scene, there is a combination of atmosphere, emotions, and human-other relations that is very effective. These elements can translate well to a game, using various combinations to place even more gravity upon the situation the player is facing.theultimateend said:YeahSelectivelyEvil13 said:

I can see how MGS: Rising could attempt to employ the use of such subtle factors to really affect the player and make them weight their actions.
