Metal Gear Solid 4 Trophy Update

Yesterday the patch for Metal Gear Solid 4 came out. And with this patch, the game got trophies, as the fans have requested for years. Also The patch got rid of the menu for Metal Gear Online and any of its components.

The first question you are probably going to ask is can our old data be used for the game. And let me tell you that yes and no. You can still use any of your old data to play the game, however you will not get any trophies. You have to start from scratch and play the game from the beginning. It sucks, I know. If you got everything it past gameplays, you will have to throw those out. I got to say that is a big kick to the crotch by Konami.

The trophies themselves are relatively easy, if you played the game before. Although there may be some that require you to think outside the box more. For the most part all of the trophies can be awarded with in one or two gameplays. However, one specific trophy requires you to obtain all iPod songs in the game. And what makes this long, is that one of the songs can only be obtained by collecting all 40 emblems in the game. With all that, It is said you will need to beat the game at least 8 times. That is a lot. To make it worst, One of the emblems, "Chicken", one of the requirements is to rack up a total of 35 hours in the game.

The good thing I can say is that, after 4 years, there are a lot of guides out there to help you get songs, flashbacks, guns, and emblems. Also, there is an option now to install the game on to your hard drive, but you will need over 9 GBs. In my case, I am running low in space and I'm not going to waste the last few GBs for a game.

I am not saying that I hate these trophies, but Konami should have allowed us to use our old data, this would have made this game a lot easier. This is going to be time consuming. The bad thing is that at this point, there are great titles coming out soon like Tekken Tag 2, Resident Evil 6, and Sony All Stars. In my opinion, Konami should have thought this plan out better.
