[QUOTE="raven_squad"][QUOTE="Bauers-Twin"] MGS's story is a joke. Splinter Cell is so much more realistic its great MGS is splinter cell dumbed down and overhyped.samuraiguns
This post is a joke. Its basically a troll post, just dumbed down and over-moronic. MGS has one of the greatest stories in the history of video games. But you actually have to have a reasonable amount of functioning brain matter to be able to follow it. I know its nowhere near the excellence of the c-grade spy flick story that Splinter Cell tries to weave with little to no success.... :roll: Also, how can MGS be a dumbed down version of Splinter Cell, when Splinter Cell wouldn't even exist without its influence?

But then again my friend, to each his own. unless, opinion is now the new fact.

Of course it isnt. But statements like "MGS's story is a joke" are incredibly frustrating and foolish.

[QUOTE="Star650"]

For me it did deserve the award, the best PS3 game that came out this year imo and it even let new gamers get interested in it and loved it ( of course there are some who didn't but that can happen to any game)

I have no problem with MGS4 winning the GOTY award, I figure it was going to be that or Fallout 3 (as long as one of those games won I will be happy)

I hated the cut scenes, crappy writing, terrible acting. It was like watching a reaally cheezy bad movie. But yes the game as a whole was extremely well done. Its just slick. It deserves it.Mr_Ditters

I dont think you were playing MGS4 maybe you were playing Haze

[QUOTE="hazelnutman"]Yes. To me, it deserved it 100%. After playing the previous MGS games over and over again in preparation for this one, it's truly magical to see it all click together in an epic mesh of storytelling and game play.

Thats exactly what i noticed when i got up to act 3 and the talk of big boss

im kind of on the fence with MGS4 winning. on one hand the inner fanboy in me who i hate screams YES!!!! but on the other hand the game IMHO had some serious down sides. mainly just that it had a lach of game play time. when you cut out all the tons of cut scenes the game is realy realy short. and again IMHO only about half of that gameplay time was GREAt the other half was just ok.as iv said many times i think act 1 and 2 were great afterthat though it fell off. Its just when i buy a game i want to play the game not watch it. im all for deep stoys and charicters but i felt that theamount of cut scenes were a bit exessive at least when compaired to the amount of game play time. the cut scenes were mostly well done. the phics and sound were great. the sneaking was well done, i loved all the deffernt real world weapons i just wish that the game "gameplay part" was about twice as long and that the whole game was of the level that act 1 and 2 were. but any way great game.personaly i would probly picked fallout 3 as GOTY. great game,LONG ,deep game play, good graphics ect.

one thing surprised me though in the awards game of the year vid i noticed that gow2 and fable 2 were not mentuned? or did i miss that.

I don't think it's the best game this year but I think it deserves GOTY because it is the only game that I have played over 13 times and I'm going onto my 14th playthrough.

I just find it fun every time, but thats just my opinion.

No, fable 2 deserved the goty, they said I cant say any cutscene or level from a game this year, even the noob editors at gamespot will agree that A perfect World in fable 2 is the best created level ever, and the level of immersion has never been deeper then in that specific level imho.

I havent played MGS4 and as such would have wanted fable 2 on the throne this year, fable 2 was the greatest game I ever played and that wont change for a longlong time.

Easily, hands down. MGS4 blew away any game this generation, there really wasn't any competition.

No. Alot other games had so much potential such as LBP, Brawl, Call of Duty WaW but gamespot just gave this game the award because it wall all hype. Sure the game was great but not for Goty.

COD WAW had no chance of being GOTY

COD 4 was GOTY and WAW is exactly the same but in WWII so its just a cliche'

:lol: You further prove your ignorance on the subject with each consecutive post. Find me a screen shot of shooting monkeys in the forest in MGS4, and ill mail you 5 bucks. And if your regarding the additional mode in Metal Gear Solid 3, it had NOTHING to do with the game. It was a bonus mode for fun.

No, the graphics were the worst ever! The first MGS had better graphics! I also liked Haze's story more than MGS4's! It was an absolute joke! Also the game is 13892374890231789047% movie! WTF! Splinter Cell is the reason why MGS existed, even though it came after it.

It was a good game that took mea little over 13 hours to beat and I wacthed all the cut sceans so when you spend over half a game watching cutsceans then playing i dont think it deserves the GOTY award.

Nah. No matter how much anyone debates with me, GTA IV was the best of this year.It had the graphics, Story, Physics system thats 100x better than MGS4's, It was pretty long, (Longer than MGS and its Cutscenes) Plus it had a very good and addicting online, Which Sweeped the floor of MGS4. MGS4 was mostly cutscenes, And god damn it was a quick game, Im not going to say a Movie is game of the year.

Great game, Not game of the year. GTA IV won for a reason at the real awards, Learn from that....

i think it was the best game of the year. and it wasnt even my fav. game this year. its just what they did with it and how they did it that made mgs4 so amazing. my two fav. games this year were dead space and bioshock, in that order. but i would have given the award to mgs4 hand down.

for me, that realism is what made it fun. it added a fresh take on the series and gave it a shot in the arm. if i want mindless killing with no real objective, i will revisit saints row. i like the grittines of the game and the feeling in instilled in me
