Forums - Gaming Discussion - Was MGS4 severely overated??

I believe it was, yes.

Cigarette was over-rated.

I was disappointed by it from get-go. The octo-camouflage wasn't a good idea, some cutscenes do drag on but the part that I was the most let down by was the boss fights and the bosses themselves.

After iconic bosses like Psycho Mantis, Sniper Wolf, Vulcan Raven, Fortune, The End, The Boss, etc... the Beauties are utterly disappointing and unoriginal. It doesn't help that you get their back story AFTER you kill them via a codec conversation with Drebin.

There's other annoyances too like that damn monkey on roller skates and Noami no longer having a sexy British accent. Also I wasn't a fan of the final fist fight with Revolver and the button mashing microwave corridor.

woah this post describes exactly everything I didn't like about the game. I do not need to say more



brb guys, I'm going to play MGS4 again. The Platinum trophy is really hard to get.



CPU: Ryzen 7950X
GPU: MSI 4090 SUPRIM X 24G
Motherboard: MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE
RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 32GB DDR5
SSD: Kingston FURY Renegade 4TB
Gaming Console: PLAYSTATION 5

In my humble opinion, one of the most overrated there is.

Wow, the responses here are very polarizing.

Maybe?  Is there some way to objectively determine whether something is overrated?  How can one know for sure?

It never went multiplat, so the answer is no, obviously

MGS4 is just one of many bad games that never went multiplat.

I never thought the game was good when came out. I'm actually shocked to read that people thought the story was good. Nanomachines seemed to be cure all for any unexplainable event. Honestly, I found Snake working with Naomi again flat out insulting. She purposely infected him with Fox Die.



Currently playing MGS3 for the first time and having lots of fun doing it. From what I've seen on this thread, I may either love or hate MGS4..
