Am I the only one who thinks Metal Gear Solid 4 isn't that good?

The game play so far is mediocre at best and the cut scenes are long and boring. The story seems like a jumbled mess to me fricking nano robots and people with dumb names. I'm trying to get into it but I really can't. I love games with good story's but this one just seems laughable. I thought mass effect was awesome and didn't mind the long cut scenes. Maybe I will try it again I'm only on the laughing octopuss boss but damn this game has really disappointed me.

No I have not played any of the other MGS games and that might be a the reason I am not enjoying it. I am usually a sucker for games with good stories but this one just isn't doing it for me.

it was my first time playing the series too and i have to say i love it, but i can see why ppl will not enjoy it.

The story might of been a lot better if Kojima wasn't a lazy s-o-b who just yelled NANOMACHINES whenever something didn't make a lick of sense, which was a lot.

Nanomachines=pseudoscience's answer to magic.

I played part 3, Snake Eater, and thought it was very good except for the horribly long and boring cutscenes at the beginning and end. So I bought part 2. Egads. One of the worst games I've ever played. I wrote a very honest review of it on Gamespot, and some fanboy must have complained so they deleted it. I swear, it's like a cult religion with these people. When that chick got on the radio for about the hundredth time, wanting to talk about our relationship while I'm in the middle of trying to save the world...I just tossed my controller on the floor, slouched down in my chair, and laughed.

Needless to say, I have absolutely no interest in part 4.

I finished it and I guess it was good...

I can appreciate the effort that went into it, but I felt the cut scenes were way too long (and too boring, sorry). The gameplay was great though. Sometimes less is more. Take away the 45 hours of cutscenes and you find a pretty amazing game inthere.

ADD and ADHD are kryptonite to metal gear solid. if your not willing to dedicate to the narritive and sometimes over done exposition the gameplay alone isnt great enough to garner the love the games get from those who enjoy the entire package. (the boss fights are generally way better than other series though) the final boss in mgs4 is epic and probably in my top 5 all time greatest gaming moments. the plot certainly got twisted and if you dont play the other games good luck following it. (download the metal gear solid database if they still have it on the store) its obvious the entire story wasnt planned since mgs1 because they clearly had to back into some plot points inorder to avoid having huge plot holes but at the very least you have to be impressed with the fact that somehow the entire story does work.

I've played the other MGS games, and I played through MGS4 twice before returning it. In my opinion it's very overhyped. The story is ridiculous, along with yes, filling every plot hole full of nanomachines. The gameplay itself is boring and extremely simple. The other games encouraged stealth, this game it didn't seem to matter. I play it on two difficulties and I solved almost everything through brute force. It was like playing any other generic shooter except that every 15 minutes I had to watch a 30 minute movie.

never liked the series either bro

Most over rated series out there IMONuck81

I have to say, definently one of the best games in the past 10 years. Gameplay is extremely well done, when you can make it through the whole with no deaths, no alerts, no kills, no health items used, you'll then come to grips that this game is truely a masterpiece. If your going through it running and gunning (yes I know you have that option), then I'm sorry your playing wrong. The point is to make it through the game without anyone knowing you were even there, the real way it was meant to be played. I never even equipped a weapon, other than the Boss fights.

No, you're not the only one. I have to disagree with you about the gameplay, in Acts 1 and 2 it is superb, but yeah, it's not that great overall. The cutscenes are over-tedious, they really don't need to be that long. The story is dragged out, yet again, doesn't need to be that long. And the gameplay really deteriorates as you get further on, the final boss fight is a joke (sorry to say it fanboys, but it's the truth). And if you take out the cutscenes, there only about 5 or 6 hours of gameplay, so if your not interested in the story, there's really not a lot you'll get out of the game. It's not the worst game in the world, but still, not the best either.

MGS4 is pretty much a fan service game to end the story and tie up loose ends. Most are explained in previous games.

But hey, nobody has to like everything.

Here is a life lesson for you. If you ever ask if you are the only one...no matter what the topic...chances are good the answer is NO. To think otherwise is highly naive.

Yeah I love the series and played all of them. But 4's story wasn't that good imo. But I disagree with you on the gameplay. Graphics and gameplay are top notch (again imo).

BTW, does anyone remember the crazyness of the countdown thing not so long ago. Man people made a big deal out of nothing.

This game wasn't for me. Sold it already. I can see why people like it though.

i liked the game but i didn't love it.. i beat it once and had absolutely no interest in ever playing it again, which is weird considering i usually beat a game three times in row before i even think about playing another game..

u cant just jump into any MGS....youve gotta hop in right at the beginning...thats why you dont like it because you dont even know wtf is going on -_-
