why the hate people???? is it because the game is ps3 exclusive ??? grow up already,,, MGS games always had high scores accross the board, so a 10 is not out of the question especially for a game 4 years in the making.... peace

yep, and since clicking on this quote button I see shams is also in on the hate. shams: when sequels to highly rated games are out, why would you WANT them to suck and get lower scores?

Watch it Windbane - for some reason I'm in a "banning mood" tonight.

There was NO hate in my post, which you obviously didn't read. Tread very carefully... 8<

(I didn't mention ANYTHING about the game NOT deserving a 10, or saying ANYTHING bad about the game - I'm simply saying that giving MGS4 a "10" when scoring in 1 increments doesn't tell me ANYTHING about the game that wasn't obvious - it doesn't help with any comparisions to other games...).

I'll have my eye on you tonight... :(

 


that sounds naughty XD

Well there you have it.

Once the element of surprise is gone and we expected it, we wanted it to got the other way. It's as if we want to be the reviewers ourselves. Although I think if there's money involved we can't do much of a thing and that's a fact.

Why do people think reviews are the solid words and is solid a fact. Since when did reviews never became an opinion of an individual. Anyone can be a reviewer by just stating their opinion and what they experienced from the game.

Why do we mistake opinions AS facts?

 

Then what are reviews for?

 It's helping an idiot who doensn't know what games to pick. Reviews are recomendation for pete sake. You can just not follow them if you want to because it does not dictate your decision. Now we can go on and bash reviews but it'll just make us look stupid(IDK but maybe some people want to).

Please this is just one review.

kinky, shams. I'm just saying, completely dismissing 10's is kinda hatin (not a lot of games get 10's). I do not expect this game to score as high as GTA IV just because it's hard to top the greatest overall rating ever in a very short time after. If it does get 10's across the board as GTA almost did, I think that says something. I'm not surprised the first score is a 10, but lots of places give 10's fairly rarely so I will be pleasantly suprised if they all do it again in such a short time. If the game deserves it, I'm all for it.

Keep watchin =)

Hmm, I never really expected anything other than a 10 from what is, after all, Official Playstation Magazine. It's not like the PS3 has many, many huge contenders for the crown in this genre...
It'll be exciting to see some more and more neutral reviews, especially in the light of recent happenings from Gametrailers and Gamespot.
Then again; if there was some kind of huge bias out there against the PS3, odds are that the 360 version of GTA IV would be rated higher than it's PS3 counterpart.

MG timeline ? what do u mean ?

(no spoil plz)

Basically a chronological list of all the eventthat have happened in the story upto MGS 4, there are no spoilers of the actual game though


 Are you talking about a magazine with the entire history of MGS? If so, my friend picked that up last week. It's a pretty cool read if I do say so myself.

the first JPG say snake last stand is his finest hour and he earned his rest!

I know its the last MGS with snake but does this clue us in on the death of snake aka rest or am I reading to much into this?????

Because the Idea of snake dying has floated around and I dont want to know he dies tell I play the game. unless its common knowledge and I've been under a rock.
