| disolitude said: Look... Some of you may have been very involved with the story hence why you see the game in this godly light...and thats fine. But if you skip the cutscenes, all you are left with is a mediocre action game with stealth elements and a few cool bosses. My biggest dissapointement is the lack of humour in MGS4. Previous metal gear games always had this subconcious theme of humour and never took themselves too seriously... for example, when Raiden meets snake in MGS2 and says "are you going to be ok?" and snake replies "I'll be fine' and points to his infinite ammo bandana from MGS1. MGS4 story did not have these moments at all and did not work for me. The 3rd time Otacon starts crying over Naomi when she dies... cause he cares about her or something for having a 1 night stand with him I was lauging my ass off...what a pansy. |
Well, it was crude humor - Solid Snake grabbing on the statue's ... I'll leave it right there.
Anyhow, I've played through a few acts and truth be told, it is a good game, but not one I'd even throw in the running for GOTY. Not even close.
As RocketPig stated earlier, Portal was awesome. Bioshock was the bomb. And for me, the numerous cutscenes really, really made me want to throw the Sixaxis at my LCD. I want to play the game, not sit there and have to skip cutscenes.
My personal fave, warts and all, is still Mass Effect.
