This is no insult to MGS4, but 10s are being given out like candy now...

 Kinda, but if GTAIV had gotten the 9.4 it deserved, everything would be all good right now.

How much did it cost?

I don't know.....no 10's for how long...and then two ten scores in two months?

Regardless so far I'm loving the game, so fuk it.

THE REVIEW SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!!!! AHHH!!!!!


 Leave it to Metal Gear Solid 4 to break the "system" ;)



My Top 5:

Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 3, Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia, Chrono Trigger

My 2 nex-gen systems: PS3 and Wii

Prediction Aug '08: We see the PSP2 released fall '09. Graphically, it's basically the same as the current system. UMD drive ditched and replaced by 4-8gb on board flash memory. Other upgrades: 2nd analog nub, touchscreen, blutooth, motion sensor. Design: Flip-style or slider. Size: Think Iphone. Cost: $199. Will be profitable on day 1.

Yes, but because it started the huge overflow of 10s, it makes me question the validility of 10s now, no matter on what game.'

It seems reviewers are too lenient nowadays.

 ~ what Blue Dragon/Lost Odyssey did? 

 

Anyway, I liked this:

Another Take

Buy this game. I don't care if the gameplay in the past titles didn't appeal to you, I don't care if long cutscenes scare you, and I don't care if you're broke.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the best reason to own a PlayStation 3 thus far.

I've played every Metal Gear Solid game since the series won me over in 1998, and I can tell you that I have never felt as connected to Snake as I did in this game. Hell, I've never felt this connected to any character in any other videogame that I've played. Our hero has gone from a soldier in his prime to an elderly warrior trying to make a difference. We see Snake struggle, we see Snake win, we see Snake lose, we see Snake relax, and we see Snake become a truly three-dimensional character. Whether he's chilling on the Nomad in street clothes, discussing his turn of fortune with "friends," or taking part in the game's phenomenal final boss battle, this is the greatest iteration of the character that I have ever seen.

This game is emotional, powerful, fun, beautiful, deep, engaging, and just about every other positive adjective you could assign it. Metal Gear Solid 4 pulls you in and doesn't let you go until the final, final credits roll.

I'm sad to Snake go, but he couldn't have asked for a better sendoff.

 Yeah, the GTA incident made me question the validity of numerical scores.  Watching the vids/previews/reviews of this game, however, convinces me that it is leagues apart from GTAIV, review score aside.  Can't wait to start playing, personally.



I'd add it to gamerankings, but they've disabled new accounts...

I tried to send all the other scores in the official MGS4 review thread but they wouldnt allow me. "the service has been disabled"
