Your rendering quality is on a level above mine. What methods do you use?

Well, it's not like I've been doing graphic work for 11 years. :p

I just use pen tool, a bright yellow BG for scraping and other stuff for edges.

I even do hair. :3

I mostly use the pen tool too. Rather carelessly at first to get the borders in place, then refine it more carefully after the mask has been applied.

I first heard about 'Refine Edge' tool a year ago, but we looked into it more carefully recently in the education part of my apprenticeship. It's supposedly better in CS6 than it was in CS5. I can't comment on that myself, but following the teacher's instructions it produced kinda okay quality rendering for hair. I could never completely avoid trash space if I wanted the hair to look decent. Any tips for that?

Do you use mouse or drawing tablet? I got a Bamboo tablet from my sister for Christmas, I should maybe look into how to use it properly.

Read your review. Good stuff. Few questions, though.

1. How do the boss battles in this game stack up next to other Metal Gear titles? in terms of the delivery, presentation, you know, that stuff Kojima is known for.
2. You mentioned the Dog Tags in things to look forward to after beating the game. How does that work? and other than that and the VR missions, is there anything else that the game offers outside of the single player story? ie. is there an unlockable gallery in the game?
3. Similar to the first question, but a bit harder to answer considering not only is this game new, but I take it you're not a big fan of the HnS genre: Where does MGR place among all other Metal Gear titles for you?
4. Oh, and what did you think of the environments?

Cheers for reading the review, but before I answer you're Q's you have to be aware that this really isn't an MGS game at all, the tone and progression is very much not MGS.

1. Boss battles are insane and a huge higlight, but are nothing like the MGS boss battles. Imagine the REX/RAY fight from MGS4, but imagine they are both flying with jeypacks... and the sky is exploding. That's the kinda epic levels of nonsense and fun that the boss battles are.

2. The dog tag system is very similar to that in MGS2, the extra items and artwork you gain from some of the tags makes it alot more interesting that a simple list of names, but its still just basically a list of things to collect.
The VR missions are unlocked via items you find hidden in the SP, there are 20 missions to find and the missions have various challenges assosiated with them, but all require to do said challenge in under a set time in order to get gold/silver/bronze. They VR missions are pretty good and fun and there seems to be a good amount of vareity, but its not like VR Missions, or the stuff from MGS2 Substance.
But the whole game is designed around the notion of playing it several times though, as you can see in the video I posted above, unlocks in one playthough carry over, as does money/health bars etc etc... and as they add more in DLC I imagine there is alot to do simply if your just playing though the SP over and over, which in its self is fine and pretty awesome.

3. It kind of sits outside of the other MGS titles, the game isn't super involved. It's its only real downfall, which is becasue of its complicated and messy development. You can't blame Platinum of KP for that really, just one of those things. But the big diffrence is that you can just keep on playing and playing.. it's not like in MGS where some boss or sequence would require something new or something to make you think and puzzle out, its just non stop insane action.

4. People have been complaining about the enviroments looking dull and boring, but tbh I've not had an issue with them at all.. they arn't too varied but thats fine because thats never the focus.
