i.m.o all "hype" is "over hype", not a single game has ever lived up to the hype it has got.

MGS4 did! I suggest you play it!

Been there, and done that, and didn't even get a t-shirt.  MGS4 is overhyped.  It is NOT the best game ever.  Worthy title on the PS3?  Yes.  But not all that.  Even if it went to the 360, it still wouldn't be all that.  Well, I guess if you like 20 minute long cutsceens used to conceal installing, then MGS4 is great.

The fact that you even considered the possibility that your opinion could change if it were on the 360 is rather telling.  >_o

And that last line is false.  They felt no need to hide the installs.  It basically says in big letters, "Installing!  Now go take a break.  You've been playing too long anyway, mother fucker!"  :P

First, I am of the belief that an aspect of the hype behind MGS4 is because it is a PS3 exclusive.  It is a title PS3 fanboys like to trumpet as "all that" (and a bag of chips) because it is on the PS3 alone.  So, to deal with that issue, I was saying that if it were on the 360, it wouldn't be "all that' either.  I was saying that, IF it were on the 360, my opinion WOULDN'T change with it.  That is what you bolded was saying.  And I did that, because the person was EMPHATIC that people PLAY MGS4 so they can KNOW (as if it is not up for debate) that it lived up to all the hype.

Anyhow, they would of been wise to hide installs behind the monster cutscenes.  So, if what I wrote is wrong, then edit the line above to be:

Well, I guess if you like 20 minute long cutsceens used to conceal installing IN ADDITION TO INSTALL SCREENS, then MGS4 is great.
