I just beat MGS4, and don't get me wrong, it was an awesome game. I just don't understand why everyonethinks that it is the greatest thing ever and all the game magazines refer to it as a god. I think that it was a good game, but everyone made it sound like the best game ever, and just for any fanboy that gets mad at me, i'm not hating on the ps3 or anything, i'm just stating that MGS4 wasnt what people seem to make it.

Have you played Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, and Metal Gear Solid 3 recently? It's a game geared towards fans.

Why do you keep backtracking in your post? I mean, I h8 it when people type, "Don't get me wrong...." It sounds like you liked the game and had fun, who cares what everyone else thinks.

But if you must know, I loved the game and played it about 15 times now. It's like a great movie than I can't stop watching.

Some of us are on different gaming scales, so explaining why some of us appreciate this game more than others would be a waste of time. Since, I am bored at work, I will humor you. You'd have to be a ture fan of the series to appreciate this game or have to be into this type of gaming style (Open minded) to feel some of what we felt.

There wasn't anything else out at the time. MGS4 was like the first sign of life from the PS3.

I only played through it once but it is one of my all time favorite games. Never felt that sense of nostalgia and glimpse into the future at the same time before this game.

At the end of the day opinions are opinions but i'm gonna give my opinion anyways :)

If you've played the previous ones then you'd enjoy it alot more, the game is AMAZING for me, i mean i feel like i believe in the nanomachines etc. The game truely is something else IMO.

Also the standard of graphics are supreme to anything.

this is a question of feeling; a reaction that can't be described. It varies even among fans of how they interpret or value MGS4 (or anything else for that matter). No one can really understand why us fans like it, but we shouldn't discuss the merits of why we like it. we just do. and if you don't feel it, that little magic, don't worry about it, it passed you by. true enjoyment can't be logically explained, at least that's what i think

I've never played any of the first 3 MGS games, nor do I have a great interest in the stealth/action genre so I just stayed clear of MGS4. I know the game wasn't for me, but I played the demo and I can see why people love it. It was certainly enjoyable, but I wouldn't fully appreciate it since I've never played the first 3 installments.

To be exact I really don't know why I love it so much. It is that I just do.

I really haven't played many games like it.

I actually like the cut-sceans too.
