Uncharted 2 vs Metal Gear Solid 4

Ok guys, you knew that this topic was coming. 2 games that are goty (well UC2 will prolly soon be). Here is my comparison...

Story = Metal Gear Solid 4
Gameplay = It depends on what type of game you like
Graphics = Uncharted 2
Multiplayer = Uncharted 2
Sound = Metal Gear Solid 4
Replay Value = Uncharted 2
Cinematic Immersiveness... (This is probably the HARDEST category since they are both the two best games that have done it) = MGS4 by a fraction!!!!!

Overall = MGS4... Gameplay was a tie, but the edge was the story, and MGS4 MP aint half bad so it came down to the story for me.

i think they both deserve a 9.5 but MGS4 was kinda over hyped

u know wat i dont understand is why ppl like u always have to compare games like this, both were great, both have lil flaws here and there why cant u just accept the games for wat they are and enjoy them, damn. maybe we should start makin threads comparing ppl like u, trolls and nitpickers hmmmmm well see if that happens lolJoKeR_421

MGS4 has a deep and convoluted story, but without profound knowledge of the entire Metal Gear franchise it's almost impossible to understand and appreciate MGS4' story. Uncharted 2 on the other hand does not and is far more accessible to gamers (especially ones that missed out on the first game), and still offers a great story.

Both games had solid gameplay, but MGS4 wasn't as linear as Uncharted 2. Despite this Uncharted 2 does have a better sense of survival compared to MGS4, but MGS4 does excel in combat because there's far more variety. Both games are equal in this sense.

Uncharted 2 certainly has the superior graphics and it's pure eye candy, but consider that Uncharted 2 JUST came out whereas MGS4 is and older PS3 title.

I've only played MGSO and it wasn't bad, but until I've played Uncharted 2 online then I can't make a judgement call on the multiplayer front.

The audio output of both games are fantastic, but I believe that Uncharted 2 has the better sound quality because everything is crystal clear. I DID experience a couple of odd abnormalities in the MGS4 audio that didn't bother me too much, but it was in fact noticable.

Both games have a significant replay value because in the case of MGS4 the game is almost guaranteed to play differently with each play through, and Uncharted 2 has more unlockables then you can shake a stick at, and then pile multiplayer on top of that and it's win-win for both games. The various difficulties also boost replay value, but the crown goes to Uncharted 2 considering that at the moment it DOES have trophies. Trophies alone amp up replay value 3 fold.

One thing I cannot stand is painfully long cinematics and MGS4 is no exception here. Granted they were entertaining, but they seemed to drag on and I'm not an extremely patient person. 10 minutes I can handle... a half hour is outright ridiculous. Uncharted was pretty quick to the point and didn't drag on. I've been known to play games sporting lengthy cinematics, but you better believe it's not without complaints.

Overall both games have their pros and cons, but I didn't care for MGS4 to be honest.

I like them both the same there my favorite 2 PS3 games

uncharted 1 was better then mgs4 imoJavieralijandro

That made me LOL. :lol:

u dare comparing?

the things id idnt like about mgs4 was that it sometimes had corny or poorly written dialogue. IE some lines felt wierd and could have been edited a bit.
and the online was just ok

uncharted 2 had a some what basic block buster movie type story but every line spoken was perfect
honestly this was the only thing wrong with uncharted 2 but its not even really somthing you can consider to be wrong

as for graphics mgs4 had some really low resolution graphics and had has much more installs

when you combine all the problems mgs4 had i feel that uncharted 2 is at least a tie of not better then mgs4 for best ps3 game of all time

MGS4 was good the long cut scenes I didn't mind to much it still had some humor in it which I found quite funny Snake in my opinion is one of the best video game characters but I always did like MGS on PS1 the best. MGO I just didn't like it when I played it was full of people who were waiting in spawn points then just killing you straight away and having to make a Konami account was just too annoying.

Uncharted 2 I haven't finished it yet but I will do I really the level designs and how stunning they look I find the game a lot of fun and an interesting story. The multiplayer is something I really like in Uncharted the CO-OP part of the multiplayer I think it's the best especially doing survival mode. But I like the Uncharted series a lot more then the Metal Gear Solid series I just perfer the story to Uncharted.

Story - Uncharted 2 the story absolutly captivated me from the word go. Also, even if you havent played the previous it doesnt matter at all, whereas MGS4, I hadnt played the ones before and most of it, althoughI enjoyed it, didnt know what was going on.

Gameplay - Uncharted 2 again simply because of its versatility (climbing walls etc), MGS4 is pretty much the same all the way through.

Graphics - Uncharted 2 obvious

Multiplayer - Uncharted 2 no doubt

Sound - Tough one, I love the sound of the pistols on Uncharted but seeing as the huge amount of weapons and them all having different sounds, i'll give this one to MGS4

Replay - Uncharted 2, I played MGS4 through only once, really enjoyed it, but havent gone back since.

Cinematic Immersiveness - This again has to go to Uncharted 2, MGS4 cut scenes were very (sometimes) boring and way too long, and for cutscenes not that interesting, they was too many and too much of it. (I had to resort to humping Sonny's leg with the little robot ;))

Overall - Uncharted 2 pwns the face off MGS4 - thats right, I went there...

And Uncharted 2 isent?

MGS 4 while over hyped just as much as Uncharted 2 imo is the better game since I am a Metal Gear fan.

U2 is still agreat game but I am so sick and tired of people saying hows it there favorite game of all time, or atleast in there top 5. The game just came out and im so sick of its over rated bull even tho it is still a great game.

He is someone who only played MGS4 and not its predecessors because he went on the hype train to NYC and said "psshh I dont not need to play the other MGS games because im sooz coolz".

I gave them both a tie....

Both games have equally great campaigns, but I loved Uncharted 2's multiplayer a lot more.

Uncharted 2 is much better then MGS4, MGS4 was a huge disappointment to me.

They are both great games, but I think more people would like U2 versus MGS4 because it's alot easier to pick up and play and get immersed into the story. Personally, I haven't ever had much better of a time than playing through MGS 1-3 in anticipation of 4 and then finally getting MGS4 and playing through it as well. The story, the characters, the gameplay... everything was top notch in all of these games. But... it can be a slower paced game than say, U2, because it is a stealth game vs full on action. For that reason, I don't think it appeals to as many people as U2 will. I don't know, it's way too difficult for me to pick a clear cut winner in this battle.

MGS 4 its just too epic and sad its the end of an era lol snake is finished :(

I always thought MGS4 was the best videogame ever. But now I think U2 is the best game everSGCopeland

The camera and movement of snake still felt akward.....Uncharted is what video games were like back in the day....They made you feel like you were part of the environemnt, very imaginetory, and had a solid story along with a variety of gameplay and levels...

MG4 without trophys and other extras still felt rushed......Online still feels very dated.....

Why do people bump threads that are almost 2 months old? :|

I agree with you totally, and i respect you for giving a fair arguement. but about the long cinematics part, thats just you. some people are very impatient and just want to play the game. some people feel like they have all the time in the world. but in the end, everyone has different opinons on this subject, and many others. so i wouldn't really count length of cutscenes for a game's score because even though gameplay kind of counts as opinion, this is really something without a true answer to the question: which is better?

Uncharted 2 it doesn't have 30 minute cut scenes not that I had a problem with that in Metal Gear Solid 4 it is my next favourite PS3 game after Uncharted 2.

i have both games. i perfer uncharted 2 more.

IMO, MGS4 is overhype.it's a good game, but not a 10 game.

NO CONTEST ,MGS4 wins hands down UNCHARTED 1&2 put me sleep so many times its crazy and I wish yall stop placing the two games side by side because they are NOT the same so let it go already....

UC2, I don't like sneaking aroundGeneralHawx

Both games are very well made but because everyone is different we have different preferences when it comes to what we liked in a videogame. I like Uncharted 1 better than any metal gear solid game but I'm not saying Metal gear is terrible. And some people just don't seem to understand that. I played all 4 metal gears one right after the other and my favorite metal gear was 3. I like logical believable settings so MG4 I kinda just laughed once those 3-legged black robots showed up.

Videogames are like movies so how can anyone be surprised if someone doesn't fancy a videogame you fancy?

Story = Metal Gear Solid 4
Gameplay = Metal Gear Solid 4 sneaking = awesome.
Graphics = Uncharted 2
Multiplayer = Metal Gear Solid 4 by a mile. MGO is SOOOO much better its not even funny.
Sound = Metal Gear Solid 4
Replay Value = Metal Gear Solid 4 its fun to try the levels different ways and unlock all the special guns and camos. Unlike Uncharted 2 which is more linear styyled and a third or more is puzzles that you already know how to do so its boring.
Cinematic Immersiveness = Metal Gear Solid 4. There were sections in MGS4 that evoked such emotions, and is unparralled. Uncharted 2 was like watching an action movie, not really story based, more like foucusing on the action. (this does not mean it didn't have a good story)
