I dont agree with the gameplay thing, you cant say its perfect but its really complex and awesome, you can play the game in many ways.

Story is great, and about your book comment, books cant have soundtracks nor visuals, thats a big thing in a game like MGS4, and going by your point of view  we shouldnt even be watching movies, just reading, and thats not cool.

And the lack of substance in storylines in games u listed is why I dont like them, if it where for just gameplay I would play snake in my cell phone, fun, but not great.

 

You do have a point that sound, music and ambience can contribute to gameplay.  However, games with simpler storylines can have those things also.  Take Killer7 for example.

Also, books are superior to movies.  If you have not read a really good book, I can understand if you don't realize that.

The Good

  • A brilliant mixture of storytelling and gameplay   
  • Mind-blowing audiovisual presentation   
  • Tight and compelling shooting mechanics   
  • Gratifying stealth mechanics   
  • Lots of cool gadgets and weapons that you can tailor to your own style of play.

Oh and I say that the gameplay is perfect too.

Well, I haven't played the game, so I can't really argue with you.  I only have Yatzee to go by.  Many people say that he is too hard on games.  I believe he has high standards.  Also, the qualities he looks for in games are also the qualtites I look for in games.  He says that the story is long winded and doesn't make much sense.  He says that there is more action than stealth in the games, but the controls are more geared towards stealth controls than action.  This leads to more cumbersome action gameplay.  Also, he says that snake is bogged down with a bunch of tools he does not need since the tranquelizer gun has infinite ammo.

I will say again that I have not played the game.  But I trust Yatzees review.  The real test to see if it is "the best game of all time" it whether or not we are talking about it in 5 years.  Right now, the hype may be too much for people to view it in a non-biased sense.

Play it first

He chose to play it that way. My first time through I went all action. My second time was as much stealth as possible. There are a few differnt ways you can play the game. And he doesnt put enough time into a game before seeing if he likes it. To him its "OHHH VIOLENCE YUMMY, Crap QTE shit sucks" Thats all he cares about. The story is only confusing if you have the mentalilty of a child and or skip scenes.

@ Senlis...
Read IGN US review of MGS4, and you will see how a propper review goes.
http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/881/881472p1.html
Then go buy the game and play it through on Big Boss extreme mode, i assure you, you will soon see the game isnt mainly action orientated.

OT: Suikoden 2 is the best game of all time, followed closely by MGS4

for me the best game of all times is legend of the dragoon. that game is just epic. and everyone who has the chance to play it should play it.

 

 Totally Forgot about that one.

Legend of dragoon is the best JRPG ever made IMO



Senlis on 10 March 2009

If I new someone who owned a PS3 I would play the game. However, out of the 10 gamers I visit on a regular basis, none of them have a PS3. I don't see myself buying one, so I guess I will never know if it is a good game or not.

Then again, there is the wait and see what people are saying about it in a few years method.

Kojima > Miyamoto IMO
You should play MGS4, one of the few times i cried in my life...
No game comes even close

 

 I don't know who is Kojima but he's certainly not half as good as Miyamoto.

 

 He is certainly twice as good as miyamoto

That's why everybody know Miyamoto and no one cares about Kojima...

 

You could say the same about britney spears. And I didnt even know who was miyamoto until I got here.

I feel the MGS series is better than everything Miyamoto has done.

 

 

 Are you sad of being alone in your world?

No, I have always felt the mayority of people is stupid so anyway I think Im right.

Anyways, you just lowered the level of the conversation.

 

Yeah Yeah majority of people is stupid exept you. Wow! You're such a wonderful guy! Just leave this thread please!

 

You are annoying, I just said that I thought MGS series is better than miyamotos games, and then you use your fifth grade vocabulary to start an argument.

And I know Im not the only inteligent person, there are a lot, but small group compared to the idiot the mayority of people are, now, if you are going to take it the way you are doing thats your problem, just dont reply to me.
And whats te point on having an opinion and making a statement if I think Im wrong? Of course I think Im right.
