Forums - Sony - My altered view of MGS4 now that I've beaten it.

"Lame excuse.=p Just say you cant afford it yet or you're not a fan."

Just because I can afford it, and just because I'm a fan, does not mean I want to be scammed into paying for a unfinished version of the game just to have to pay again for the complete product. Until MGS4's release, Kojima was 3-for-3 with this shameful behavior, and there is no doubt in my mind that he intends to go 4-for-4. My guess is that we'll see an "enhanced" release with all the features that were cut out of this one in about a year. "MGS4:PathofLeastResistance?"



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

Having finished the game I can only agree with you.

As for the Meryl/Akiba proposal I really did want to put my foot through the screen. My gf was laughing her ass off at how bad it was.

About the only person who would have found that scene tolerable is Helen Keller.

Personally, I think the scene may have given me testicular cancer.

@rocketpig

I would prefer testicular cancer over watching that scene again.

So it sounds like you have finished watching the Epilogue?

I couldn't get "OMG Kojima is ripping off Michael Bay OMG Kojima is ripping off Michael Bay" out of my head... Shameful.

That scene actually caused me physical pain.

Nope, haven't seen the epilogue yet... Just the proposal scene.

No, Konami simply went cheap on MGS4 including the LE version.  We paid 20$ extra for no Theatre mode, a 3rd of the OsT, a documentary that should have been dubbed and a broken MGO that charges several dollars just for the priviledge of additional characters? No doubt all these features and more will be available through DLC at additional charge of course.

What happened to the so called in game encyclopedia that was supposed to explain plot points of previous titles as well as storyline details in MGS4?
