I dont understand what the correlation is between Gamepro giving a game a perfect score and other sites like IGN giving it a 9.7 or 9.8. Judging by most of Gamepro's reviews they are usually way off from the average. In any case it's great for MGS4. I can't wait to get this game.

 

Are you getting the PS3/MGS4 bundle?
I haven't decided yet. I was really hoping for a 60gb but the eBay prices are ridiculous. I'll probably end up springing for the MGS4 bundle and be done with it. It's going to have to wait a month unfortunately because I spent this month buying games like there's no tomorrow.

 


Cool,and wecolme to the club.=)

This will complete my triforce of consoles, so I can bitch endlessly about all consoles fairly. I can't wait.

The review says the game is devoid of the bewildering and bloated lectures found in previous MGS games. It sounds like Kojima has abandoned what makes MGS so special and may have dumbed down the thought provoking mologues in favor of a purely hollywood style entertainment story. Not good news. I hope Kojima found a way of incorporating his thematic concepts into the storyline perhaps in a different and more effective way rather than simply abandoning them. MGS3 recieved enough flak from fans for being "simplified" etc compared to MGS2 and gamepro makes it seem as if Kojima went even a step further this time, by creating a storyline more entertaining than thoughtful.

What are your opinions? what did Gamepro mean with their sentence? Did Kojima find a way of including his thematic exploration in a more subtle yet just as developed manner, or has he abandoned the abstract pondering all together in favor of mainstream appeal?

@ DTG, if he is trying to dumb down the game with 90 minute cut-scene, he is clearly an idiot

also, am I the only PS3 owner on this site not getting this game, I just despise stealth games

Munkeh, you're the only PS3 owner in the world not getting this game.

Honestly man, you should at least try it.... They say that you can play as much stealth in the game as you want, so playing in 3rd person or 1st person is possible (though I don't know if it for the whole of the game or segments of it)...

 

You owe it to your PS3 :p



PSN ID: T_Gears

End of 2009 ltd sales:

Wii = 67-68m

X360 = 38-39m

PS3 = 34-35m

Prediction: The PS3 will surpass the 360 on weekly sales after it drops to $299 on all regular weeks (no big releases).

My brother is getting it, so there will be a copy of MGS 4 in the house, but I just doubt I will get around to playing it

 It's quite surprising that you would be so hyped about a game that is said to so closely resemble MGS2, your least favorite in the series. Yet it is also great that you're keeping an open mind toward mgs4.

 BTW, according to games guru it has been confirmed that the gameplay time is 10-13 hours vs slightly less than 9 hours of total cutscene time. So the initial calculations of 30% gameplay time may be somewhere around 40% more accurately. Though so much conflicting information regarding MGS4 is coming from every corner that it's hard to tell who to take by their word.
