Forums - Sony - MGS4 quite simply the greatest game this gen no doubt!!

kn on 12 November 2008

I don't get it. I play a lot of games. I have all 3 current gen consoles. I like all genres. I thought MGS4 was HIGHLY overrated. I didn't even finish it. I got so bored with it that I traded it in for something else. Maybe my MGS4 was broken and the "amazing" part of it was broken or something.

Honestly after MGS3 this was a disappointment.

Hooray for less codec conversations but for the LOVE OF CHRIST. The cut scenes were full of so much POINTLESS SHIT that I refuse to watch cut scenes anymore for games because this game just DRAGGED IT ON.

Honestly the amount of time and effort that went into these cut scenes, could of being done in REAL TIME, or even better had MORE GAMEPLAY TIME. Or even after Splinter Cell or even Gears of War Kojima could of learned to FIX THE CONTROLS.

Even as a big Meta Gear fan, I just couldn't like this as much as Snake Eater.

 

Actually the russians and missle defense isn't what i'd call pointless shit.

MGS4 had pointless Shit.  MGS3 cutscenes actualy fixed and explained MGS2's mess of a story.

My mistake I read it wrong. I was responding in MGS3's defense, but it was in vain. Forget about it.

Well maybe you weren't a Metal Gear Solid fan. If you were you wouldn't be complaining. Clearly you are not a Metal Gear Solid fan, so you picked up the game and was just bought into the hype. Sad thing to do buddy, but a...to each is own. You didn't like it, I loved the demo and I will pick the game up after I finish Uncharted and GT5: Prologue.

@KylieDog

wow, so much for bursting a hopeless bubble. I sure will not base my buying decision on your post. And are you a Metal Gear Solid fan?

What does it matter if you are a metal gear solid fan or not? That does not change the quality of the game all of the sudden. It still remains a mediocre movies with good gameplay in between either way.

That is probably one of the worst defences to exist, I'm willing to bet I was playing Metal gear games before some people on this forum were even born, and I mean that literally.

 

I've played pretty much ever game to death, even MGS2 with its flaws.

 

See my previous post.

Yeah I read your post, and to be honest its your opinion. You probably were playing Metal Gear games before I was born, but its just surprisly that you didn't like this one or for a matter MGS2.

Because if your a Metal Gear fan you could fight through it. Considering reviewers didn't find much flaws in the game at all. He just said the story was just crappy, nothing about the gameplay. I know Metal Gear central aspect is its story. But why did the story fail?

Edit: wait, you don't even own it but are defending?  Oh ho ho, i understand now, I had that optimism back on June 11th, I bought a PS3 solely for it. Take it from someone who was once in your shoes...MGS4 will ruin the entire series of games for you.  Don't play it.  Ever. Of course I also know that if you're a MGS fan you will -have- to buy it, nothing will sway you, thats just how it is, but you will regret it once finishing it.

Okay, well I'm playing Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence right now and enjoying this game. The only Metal Gear Solid I haven't really gotten into is Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops. Now that game is really not that good and annoying and has a horrible story.

I have not played the game (MGS4), not the full retail version, but I did play the demo and loved the gameplay part of it. That's what I liked about Metal Gear Solid series in the first place was the stealth aspect.
