Story may be good, but Planescape was a borefest to play.

 

So did you play it or not? You say it was a borefest, but then you couldn't make an accurate assessment of PS:T's story...

Wrong actually, the list should go something like this.

1. Suikoden 2
2. MGS4
3. Baldurs Gate 2
4. Final Fantasy 7
5. Suikoden 1

MGS4 isn't even close to being the best story on the PlayStation platforms.
Actually, it's not even the best in the Metal Gear Solid series (That would go to MGS or MGS3).

But meh, seems that's the popular opinion these days. If Kojima would hire a great writing staff and drop the pen himself, I think we'd see something leagues above his current achievements.

*scratches head*

Leagues above the impossible to top?

 

Kojima is not a good writer. Everyone knows that. He makes so many goddam mistakes.

I never said anything negative about the story now did I?

I disagree

MGS4 ended for me a franchise which had the best story in gaming

it tied up loose ends & was so well done right till the final minutes

for me & many people MGs4 simply takes the cake!

 

 

 

It did not tie up loose ends, it copped out and sprinkled nanomachines over everything like pixie dust and just pointed at those.

 

Nanomachines especially f***ed up Vamp.  They explained one single thing about him without explaining anything else.

Man you guys need to play/replay Xenogears

Metal Gear Solid 4 was a very good game, I love the series in general. I would play each game again if I had them all.

In terms of best storyline though, I would say no way.

I agree with Kyliedog here, they really f**ked up Vamp.

Lone voice of truth, which is probably why you didn't try to disprove my statement.

more like arrogance on your part

look that may be a plothole.....but that one plothole isn't going to change the way the story wound up....the meaning that "snake wasn't ever a hero" as he didn't kill himself......n so on

the music complimenting the scenes.....the final crawl snake did through the microwave chamber with me hammering the triangle button

you know I could go on n on.....Act 3 Ending....fabulous

no game got that emotion out of

so NO...I'm not going keep on saying "ZOMG VAMP walking on water isn't answered = MGS4 story is crap"

nope.....as everything else MGS4's story did was so good that can be overlooked

Fact remains.....no other MGS game got emotions out of me in the way the microwave chamber scene, Act 3 final scene n so on got!

MGS3 ending comes close

I believe you. I thought MGS4 storyline was very well done, one of my favorites this gen. I just didn't like how things ended up with Vamp. I really liked him.
