MGS3 Or MGS4?

What has better visuals story elements and all that good stuff.

A PS2 vs a PS3 game on the graphs department, uh?? sounds like a fair fight to me.

Anyway, storywise I prefer MGS3 any day. It was AMAZING, and while MGS4 was amazing too, it could get boring at some points. Plus you can't beat MGS3 ending, it's EPIC.

I actually think the ending points between Snake and Ocelot/Liquid OCelot were equally awesome. There was brotherly love mixed in with intense hate and some admiration. It makes for such a good story point. Hideo Kojima is a genius.

Completely agree, from the final fight until the credit it was awesome, MGS4 ending was too long it took the excitement from it.

MGS3

Had my favorite story. It was so damn emotional too. ;_;

I like the stealth element in this the best (except freaking switching camos every 2 seconds).

I would have liked the Survival Viewer if there was something in there that let me heal everything at once.

Bosses were the best in the series. Cobra Unit was pure win.

Snake Eater ladder climbing, lol

MGS4

Visuals = omg

The story was great too.

Gameplay = loved it.

Final boss fight = most emotional gaming experience I've ever had since the ending to MGS3 and FFX

Music was made of win.

Overall, I love both games a lot. However, you can't beat the fact that MGS4 pretty much upped everything but the story. Actually, this is exactly why the MGS franchise is my favorite of all. Kojima, you're a genius.

I'm talking about the ending here... not the final fight (which was great IMO and done in a superb way in MGS4). Sadly, like star said, it's too damn long and there are boring parts (IMO) that took away the excitement, honestly it didn't make me feel as touched as its predecessor.

I can agree with that. But at least Kojima would put int he time to show more of the ending, even if some of it was boring. The ending of both games were pure epic. 

I would say that metal gear solid 4 is better in everything,but there is a big problem,the story of metal gear solid 4 has to many to every other metal gear so if you haven't played at metal gear solid 2(even being the most "unpopular" game of the saga,the most important part of the story of the saga is told here) you will miss too many details to understand the story. and MGS 3 has some important details,the best thing to do is play the first 3 games before playing number 4. If you haven't played any metal gear try to get the integral collection first.

Yes I agree that MGS4 ending was also awesome ( the one that starts with Big Boss) the end where they both showed respect to each other and all, but the cutscense before that were not that exciting and were too long even the cutscense with Big Boss was long the final scene was the best. The reason I liked the ending of MGS3 more is because the explanation of the event kept going with other scene parts which worked great with the ending 

*Spoilers*

I've played all of them, but nothing beats the ending of MGS4.

"This is good.......isn't it?" - That line really sent chills up my spine at the end. You just knew the series could be over finally tafter that was said. And if MGS5 is ever made, I hope they don't tamper with the story too much, considering pretty much all of the open holes were shut at the end of MGS4.

As much as I love MGS4, and I do..

Metal Gear Solid 3 had the better story, emotion, and ending.

Both are awesome, I refuse to chooseavataraang1

MGS1>MGS2>MGS3>MGS4

MGS4 could of been easliy the best if it had more gameplay than non stop cutscenes

Here is why mgs1 and 2 is better than 3 and 4. The game had more diversions while 3 and 4 felt like just make ur way from point A to B and thats it.

Not sure how it is for everyone else, my personal favorites in order: MGS3 > MGS4 > MGS1 > MGS2. ;)

Sokol4ever

thats exactly what my favorites are

except I played MGS2 more ( needed to understand the story, but I didn't really get it anyway lol)

Uhh...I think he was asking which game has better visuals in accordance with the time they came out. He just didn't word it very well. 

Both games are great, but to ask which is better is unfair considering that they are on different platforms! IMO every MGS game has gotten better, and I would recommend you purchase all 4 of them... you wont regret it!TrevCubsOr21

I really dont understand how ppl pick MGS4 over MGS1 or any other MGS games. I mean the game is about 16 hrs but if i subtract the cutscenes and the fact i was playing around alot, the game play lenth is 5hrs

I almost cried in the end of mgs 3 . MGS 4 would have been more epic only if game ended after snake put gun to his mouth

MGS3

-Overall better story

MGS4

- Best end boss

-Best boss of all time 

-Visuals :shock:

- gameplay

- OctoCamo

-Raiden

Best story, most cohesive in depth gameplay with varied scenarios, best AI, best soundtrack, overall most "solid" game in the series = MGS2.

Best boss fights, coolest concepts, awesome artistic direction, best VAs, most atmospheric, best ending = MGS3.

Best graphics, most versitile control scheme = MGS4.

Original bad ass = MGS1.

Graphics wise obviously MGS4 no doubt about it, but MGS3 story took my breath away and why the game is called snake eater is because of the cobras. Torture etc. now that is a true freakin mission, for me MGS3 is the best metal gear solid that was ever made

Both are amazing, best gaming experiences by far.

Apart from the obvious gameplay and graphics upgrades, MGS4 tops it though, in the story, direction and script department as well. No other game in the series has memorable scenes as Volta, Snake VS Liquid or the Debriefing which are pretty much as good as a storytelling scene can be in terms of direction and script. The actual story in MGS4 is the most elaborate as well, and even though it needs the other games in order to reach the full climax, it is without a doubt the most impressive and ultimatelly satisfying of them all.

While still amazing experiences (and holding numbers 3 and 4 in my book), MGS1 and 2 are in an inferior league compared to 3 and 4 in pretty much every way. Some really need to replay them without the nostalgia googles on.

So basically you want to know which Metal Gears do we like the best?

MGS,4,3,PO,2(Its last because you play as a *****)

He didn't win the award just because of MGS4. The man brought the stealth genre to the gaming world and he brought it with an amazing plot like no other that lasted 20 years, FLAWLESSLY. No other series managed to stay that long having 1 long storyline. He won the award because of the following games:

Metal Gear
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots

The man is a gaming legend.He deserves more.
