Whats the point of making this thread, all we have to do is link you to 16 different websites of professional journalist that have played and beaten the game that think its freakin amazing.

I hate the gameplay

Story is good though, should really just be a novel. I think I might enjoy it more in text form, yet some of the characters are too much to explain on paper.

Well, MGS4 I'm not sure. It looks like it has good gameplay and its the conclusion to a story that has been going on since the first Metal Gear game came out.

But what makes the series good? For starters, the story which is probably the main reason every MGS-verteran is hyping MGS4. The unique gameplay, music, atmosphere is all good. Its an experience that no other game really gives.

The game went gold last week (Over a month before release odd :?) But you can bet it will be in transit and in stores long before the street date so you can bet there will be some copies in homes before the street date.

it happens with every game unfortunately, im just gonna try and avoid all of the spoilers that will be popping up when people start getting copies early. but who knows maybe the game will just start popping up in peoples houses like a week before release, thats best case scenario im thinking

That's true, Usually games go gold 2-3 weeks before launch though. This is a good 5+ weeks. Maybe they will bump up the release date a couple of weeks :o or maybe they just need the time to make extra copies.

yeah pretty crazy, who knows how they finished it so ahead of time, makes you wonder how much work they put into this game for them to be able to finish it that early compared to other games, man.....only 1 more month...one month today and this game will be out

And I dont get what makes people make threads like this when they dont even try an play the series first. Have u even went and read any of the hands on previews for MGS4? If u did then u would prolly know why the series is good and why MGS4 is going to be big. Everyone has there opinion and I can let that slide but what gets me is why make these type threads when all these other game sites already have previews on why the game is going to be great. Its like some1 writing a topic saying why is Gears of war 2 so good and they have never played it before, see where im coming from? :)

Go play a few MGS games then come back and ask your questions. IMO its gameplay, story, graphics and online multi that will make this game AAA on GS next month.

Your question can be asked about GEOW and all other big games with sequels.

The story, though incoherent at times, makes the series the standout that it is. The gameplay has always been substandard , until Subsistence was released, and it looks like MGS4 will improve on that formula making a more action packed title, to compliment the best cinematics and tales of most series.

I agree with the TC the first game put me to sleep in 5 minutes i eventually trade it, the only reason cows are hyping this game is because this is the only high-medium average game the ps3 will have in like a 2 years.

You don't get why it's good because you have no idea what makes a game great. Amazing story, atmosphere & gameplay. If you don't see how amazing MGS4 will be then just don't buy it because you're probably to stupid to enjoy it anyway.

U must not like great games if the first put u to sleep. The first one was like the first of its kind to be made and was an awesome expirience with one of the best boss fights all packed in one game. U sleeping after 5 minutes was the worst thing u can do because mgs 1 was my favorite out of all 3 but oberall the series has been awesome. I dont know how anyone who enjoys a stealth action game could hate on the mgs series. MGS4 will be epic and people like u will wonder how in the hell did this game get such high reviews. Have fun missing out on one of the best games this year. :P

well not everyone has to like the MGS series, but clearly liberty71441 is much more of a hater/fanboy to state its a high-medium average game when talking about MGSIV... Reality though no one has played the game yet, but signs are great , coming from what people in the gaming industry said, we're in for a fantastic game, a privilege which only PS3 owners can experience :)

Can't wait to get my hands on this epic game, a conclusion of the greatest series ever made !!!

Because it explores different dimensions in gaming, then you have Halo and SSBB which are tired and generic experiences.

Next gen dosen't start until Kojima says so.

Well, at least you know enought to play the game before forming an opinion on it.
