What's your favorite Act in Metal Gear Solid 4?

So far, I've only played the first act, and I'm rather disappointed, to be honest. I did not expect it to live up to what everyone was saying about it, just like I did with The Dark Knight, but so far, I've felt a bit underwhelmed. I hope the next couple of Acts pick up.

Also, what was up with the beginning with all those channels? It's first set on that workout station... That was really weird. Also, I think Olga's daughter, Sunny, could've a better job in her stuttering. It's not very convincing to me.

What say you?

By the way, I put this here instead of System Wars because everyone in System Wars for some reason thinks I make up that I have a PS3 so I can pretend to fairly talk crap about it, despite giving positive feedback on the other games I have on PS3. I mean, don't get me wrong; Metal Gear Solid 4 is awesome, but even the low-point of the series, Metal Gear Solid 3, seemed to have a better beginning.

MGS3 was the high point in the series, if you ask me.

And I promise you that Act 4 will win this poll.

Its strange to make a thread asking a question, then you go in bashing about the game... You sound very suspect...no wonder people in system wars think of you that way.WR_Platinum

Act 4 hands down.

I'm just curious: What did those of you who didn't play MGS1 (or Twin Snakes) think of Act 4???

since when was 3 a low point in the series? The game gets better but i hope you didn't buy the game just because of hype, if you haven't played all the previous games then your only causing your self a disservice and you probably wont appreciate the overall story and big picture this game tells.Gohansephiroth

Why are you even here posting about this? You played the first act of a long game. That's like pressing Start on Super Mario 3 and saying "it sucks" just from that. This just seems like a flame bait trap or something. Denji

Dont agree with anything you said... :| Particularly MGS3 being a low point for the series. I mean... cmon... But at any rate, Act 1 was most definitely NOT the best Act. Act 2 and 4 were my favorites. raven_squad

I'm not saying that. You're judging an entire game as crappier than the other releases without even playing the whole thing. You played Act 1. Technically, yes it's about the same as pressing start compared to today's standards of gaming. Act 1 is the intro (pretty much) much like the Tanker in MGS2. You don't even have a Boss in Act 1. You're judging an entire book by two pages.

I am addicted to this game and went through the story mode about 6 times. The act that I liked was with A soldier taking a loud dump underneath a barrel. I guess it was act 2 or 3. A great way to end the snake chronicles. I hope raiden or fox units story is next in line......GaryMicheal1

Im detectin sarcasm?

If you played it 6 times you would know it was johnny in act 1

They prob didnt care, it was way more emotional to play mgs1 then play act 4 something simple as picking up the same pistol was like omg I wish we got to explore more of it without scarabs the atmosphere was just so good, it was giving me a idea of what a true remake of mgs1 would be like, especially using young snake w/ bandana camo

I can honestly say that Act 4 wasn't that great for me, but only because I never played MGS back in the day.

Act 5 was my favorite and the most emotional.

^ i completely agree 3 is my favorite game in the series and one of my favorite games of all time.

Act 4 was great but i gotta say Act 5 for me...Just the final battle with Ocelot, buttonmashing part, and Raiden struggle were just incredible. And btw TC MGS2 is by far the weakest link in the MGS series. It added very little to the series and the bosses were pretty forgetable(apart from Vamp). MGS3 is probably the best in the series, adding several plot twists, new gameplay elements(camo, food, disguises), and may well have the best boss fights of the entire series(The Boss, The Sorrow, The Fear, The Fury and The End).FF6fan

Those fights were fun but there was no build up to each of them, the only memorable one in storyline terms was the fight with The Joy Wasnt many boss fights in mgs2 though, there was ogla , mg , vamp and thats all i can think of MGS2 was very very fun at the time though i just love the whole setting for some reason hated playing as raiden though, snake is finished now and we missed a entire game we coulda been playing as him

I think the reason iloved mgs3 so much was playing as a legend like big boss and seeing the beginning of the series, because how he gained his skills thru training and not just being a clone and getting tortured and then ****** over by eva and everything he went thru i felt much more connected. Every time i see him salute i get teary and in mgs4 it was killing me seeing him try to salute, it really annoyed me when i SPOILERS DONT READ IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED!!!

saw solidus' body skinned on my first play thru it was like the man i sat thru mgs3 with has no skin and yeah it just annoyed me thinking that.

I also remember being a little dissapointed with MGS3. Probably becasue i played it just after i finished playing Resident Evil 4 (way back when it just launched on the Gamecube) so my expectations for hyped up games had just gone up :P In no way did i think MGS£ was a bad game, just i got my enjoyment out of 1,2 and now 4 than it. Like most people, act 4 was my favourite act.

Act 4. I Cried. Nuff Said.XxSTILL_BORNxX

Same here man.:cry:

Act 4 hands down.

my favorite mgs is 3. best soundtrack i think and hands down best boss fights. mgs4 i didnt really like any of the bosses too much, mgs2 olga was the only good one and mgs3 all of them were pretty awesome except for volgin and shagohad parts.

MGS3 was the best IMO although MGS4 has by far the best game-play.

Act 2 for me, Act 4 is great but it's more Nostalgia than actual game-play.

So far, I've only played the first act, and I'm rather disappointed, to be honest. I did not expect it to live up to what everyone was saying about it, just like I did with The Dark Knight, but so far, I've felt a bit underwhelmed. I hope the next couple of Acts pick up.

Act 4 is the best level/act in video gaming history to me. Epic from beginning to end.

I love when first walking up to Shadow Moses port after avoiding the Gekkos and the music from MGS1 starts playing, gave me chills even on the second play through.
