Pisses me off that everyone's forgotten about MGS4.
For me this gen was defined by:
Metal Gear Solid 4
Super Mario Galaxy
Demon's Souls
God of War III
Gears of War
Read Dead Redemption |
Maybe they haven´t forgotten, but *gasp* didn´t like it very much ?
|
See my post above. It was GOTY. It was a masterpiece.

It wasn´t, the previous games (especially MGS3) balanced the gameplay:cutscene ratio pretty decently.
MGS4 leans FAR, FAR too much on the spoon fedding the story (which was pretty meh)/ cutscene side.
Having an 60 minutes+ non interactive epilogue is just bad.

The amount of cutscenes is part and parcel of MGS.
"It wasn´t, the previous games (especially MGS3) balanced the gameplay:cutscene ratio pretty decently."
Your statement seems speculative at best since the total cutscene count for the two titles in question is:
MGS3: 298 minutes
MGS4: 306 minutes
Once again, I thought the gameplay (especially on higher difficulty settings) was brilliant for a mid 2008 game. That's over 5 years ago. |
Yeah but, for me, when it came to MGS4, it feels like I spent waaaaaay more time watching cutscenes and not a lot of time playing. Some of the chapters were so short.
