| disolitude said: Lol, funny but pretty valid review. I agree with him about gameplay being very unbalanced and flawed (why would anyone go stealth if I can buy infinite RPG's from Drebin after an hour), not to mention there is not nearly enough of it. I dont agree about his story writing point however. The story in MGS4 is still pretty good. As far as videogames go, Kojima is good writer. Ofcourse he is no Scorsese but who is in the videogame world? But I'd definetly say play MGS1 2 and 3 before this. |
Suda 51. Seriously. Play Killer 7... that shows you the right way to tell a really complex philosophical story.
Saying a story is good "for a videogame" is a cop out if you ask me. Either the story stands up to good stories in other mediums or it doesn't.
When "great videogame storytelling" = "rejected TV movie plot" people shouldn't cut games slack.
It's like everyone says about the game.
If your not a fan of this very specific niche of a genre of which basically only MGS is. Interactive movie more then game.... you aren't going to like it... and if you are... you will like it.
Since review sites tend to get people who like said games to review said games... it's obvious why it got good scores. It's being reviewed largely by metal gear solid fans.
Let any game be rated by it's fans and it's going to have quite the high score.
