When facing the Sorrow, I went to the menu and my backpack was there for some reason.. And it came with all weapons/items I had before being captured :wacko: it was kinda strange. When the fight ended, backpack dissapeared from menu. Has this happened with anyone else?

Yes it's supposed to happen, but I'm not sure why....

Thought it was a glitch <_<

No. Not a glitch. It's just for the story while you go into that dream sequence.

It was somewhat meant to be like "you took comfort in your weapons but now they can't help you against the torment you will face for taking all these lives". atleast that's how I interpretted it. So yeah it was meant to happen like that.

i felt that that made it even more creepy

"not even your patriot can stop us"
or
"your RPG is useless"

shows you that you cant kill them twice

Yeah but I wonder why if you shoot the spirits they scream? I mean it can't actually hurt them, can it?

It's for effect I guess

i think its designed for you to think you can fight them off.

sounds more like a bug they didn't find :P

No, It was intended that way to be like a nightmare. You have every weapon at your disposal but nothing can help you silence the screams and take away the memories of those who you have murdered.

So I'm the only one who thinks that Snake was actually in Hell during that sequence, or a vision of it? The trees were burning, and it makes sense that he would carry with him his weapons of murder as a burden for his sins.

I agree with your interpretation though Sad, all of the weapons in his arsenal won't help him in the face of those whom he has killed.

I was just out of ideas at the time, was about to hide a new weapon for you to have to search for and learn to use, then it hit me that forcing you to kill your precious snake was really funny to me. So wanted me to hide some camo and face paint to make you look like Sorrow's Mother, so I locked him in a closet, as that would have gone past creepy, right into 'that's just wrong'. Looking back, that would have been funny, especially if you couldn't change out for the rest of the game.
Well, I better get back to work, I think people have gotten the idea this next game will be out in 2 months, and I haven't even figured out the ending yet. Maybe I can find the answer at the bottom of this pint. Cheers!

But why couldn't snake swim underwater ?

Because you can't hide from your sins I guess? In order for him to earn the chance to return, he's got to face the sins of his past.

Haha, who is that Hideo Kojima supposed to be? Oh wait! IT MUST BE MR KOJIMA!!

^But you can get through the scene by just drowning yourself, you know. No need to face those ghosts.

If you want the spirit camo you have to go to the end. I know also you can shoot the boss's with the SAA to make them pause and get by them if they are pestering you. I think you can also shoot the spirits as well, it makes them pause for a second so you can get around them.

I think you get all the weapons in the attempt to make this scene confuse you.. I mean, its a boss fight, his health comes up and the first thing i did was whip out my gun and start firing at him.

Took me a few days to finally find out i had to use the revival pill, i think giving you all your weapons just confuses you.

It was weird at first.... I played MGS3 for the first time and then I met the sorrow I was like "Alright boss fight!" and then at the start, I look and saw my health bar (Full as always =) ) and then the sorrow's (-.-" ok...uh....0%? no stamina? ) then I told myself a boss fight is a boss fight and I did almost everything I could throw at him (magazines too mind you...) till the end and I died and then I didn't knew what to do......(REVIVAL PILL!!!)

I has happened to me too. It is supposed to happen.
I found it strange too that with the backpack.

I have a tip for you(that you probably know of already)
Just dive into the water and die. Seriously just die and when that time paradox thing comes up just take a revival pill.

Fair enough???:D

Ahahaha ^_^ Yup , dream world ..
I didn't stuck there so long as I check the way at internet .
But really , I hate to fight him ! It really scary !!!

The second time I play I used the patriot gun and killed hundreds of enemies ... and during the Sorrow boss fight .. the river is like in a consert !!! Full of ghost !!
(The ghosts that appear is as much as the enemy that we killed) :blink:
