Nothing more than Metal Gear Solid 4 will make me the most happy to hear that noise. Generally, I don't care for trophies (use to be a trophy hunter, though), but for a game like MGS4... can't wait.

why did you stop trophy hunting???? and how did you stop? once i got that platinum in bioshock 2 (in less then a week!) i am beyond hooked on getting any and all trophy's for games

Just got busy with life. Either way, I realized it was wasting my time negatively. It got addictive, but in a bad way. Also, I lost the reason for gaming... entertainment. I know trophies are fun, but I don't want it to be to the extent where I don't enjoy the game or just enjoy playing in general. It became a chore at most times, too.

Ahhhh ok yea when it becomes a chore for you then yea it kills gaming,for me personally i have a system for it,i go thru the game and the ones that pop up then they pop up,i go thru it and then do a second playthrough,like for bioshock 2,i had already beaten it on 360 so i just went thru it enjoying the game and a good 60 percent of trophies came up thru first play thru,then i did all multiplayer (god it was torture) and after those were done i did a new game plus and knocked out the rest,

I can see how it would get tiring though

But it's not April Fools..! Can't wait!

So seeing as how i'll be working come november and have a apartment, im wondering how tough is this game to go thru?

Not tough per se, but it's not your average walk in the park, kill some enemies, rinse and repeat. That's why I love Metal Gear Solid in general. If you've enjoyed past games, though, you'll absolutely love this, especially with trophy support.

Personally, I hadn't really properly played a Metal Gear Solid game (other than completing MGS2) before playing MGS4. And it still remains one of my most favorite games of all time. Just an amazing game. You really have to experience it to see what I'm going on about.

Cool welel i'll have to look into it,i'll be saving up for a studio apartment and gonna find a good flat screen tv,so cant wait to get into gaming again

It depends whether you want to get a platinum for the game or not and whether Kojima is harsh enough to make getting the Big Boss Emblem a trophy. I say harsh because getting the Big Boss Emblem is one of the toughest things in the game, it's something that took me weeks of trying until I got it and I consider myself a Metal Gear Solid pro. The emblem requires you to;

""Earn the Big Boss emblem on a single-player session by doing the following: instigate no alerts; kill no enemies (not even bosses); do not continue (at all); do not use life recovery items (at all); do not use the stealth suit or bandanna special items (you may possess, but not activate them); and complete the game on Big Boss Extreme difficulty under 5 hours."

It's extreme and it's tough. I completed Metal Gear Solid IV a good 40+ times and a good 10-15 of those times were Big Boss Emblem runs it is hard to do. What I worry about is that these trophies probably aren't retroactive so I won't get the trophy for getting the Big Boss Emblem and I'm not for the life of me doing it again lol.

I'm confident it'll be retroactive. The flag for having earned the Big Boss Emblem in your list will surely be the trigger for the trophy itself. I wouldn't be too worried about that.

How do you beat bosses without killing them?

You use the tranquillizer gun though it's not as easy as just shooting them once they all have a psyche meter which goes down with each tranquillizer shot. When that is fully depleted the boss battle ends with a cutscene separate to the one that would play if you killed them.
