In its history, Gamespot has never overrated a game as much as MGS4.

MGS4 didn't even deserve AAA. At best, it was a gimped third person shooter with tacked on stealth elements and horrible multiplayer which no-one even cared about after 10 minutes. They actually tried to westernize it and the series suffered because of it. The storyline was as needlessly convoluted as in past installments, as well as overly pretentious.

Can anyone seriously name a game that was nearly as overrated? Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 at least set a new standard for its genre, MGS4 pales in comparison to other TPS, and isn't even at the front of the stealth scene anymore. This gen, the mediocre party game Super Smash Bros Brawl and disappointing Halo 3 are the only candidates that come within a mile of being as overrated, and still can't match how badly overrated MGS4 was.

Yes, We get it. YOu hate GS's 2008 GOTY.

I can't wait to see what you hate about 2009's GOTY. It happens, GS has opinions, you have opinions, we get it. I would love to discuss this, but this is the millionth thread about GOTY 2008.

Okay....you guys should have until January the 1st with this complaining. When that day comes.....cut it out. Get over it. It was a great game, and an OKAY movie. It was a bargain....where else can you get a game and a movie for that price. Why would you complain about getting MORE than usual.

That's a shame that you don't like it. I and many others think it is awesome.

It's widely agreed to be a great game, sorry.

Haha, thank you!:)

Personally I don't see how complaining about MGS4 being the GOTY is helpful, concidering the voting is over with and the winner has been chosen.

Deal with it, I guess? You voted, put in your two cents, and now you gotta let it go.

Because it's gets old with everyone all "OMFG MGS4 GAME OF THA YEER? OMG NOOOO GTA *or whatever other game* IS SOOOO MUCH BETTER OMFG11 etc etc.."

:roll:

Who cares, let it be. [QUOTE="XTy"][QUOTE="Floppy_Jim"]

Ok, now I wish a PC game had won GOTY. If a Wii game had won it, cows and lemmings would have whined and complained that Wii is crap and sheep would go on about 2 GOTYs in a row. If an X360 game had won, cows would call GS biased and lemmings would say shut up and only GS counts here and tell cows that GS isnt biased...basically the reserve of whats happening now. But with PC, it seems generally accepted that if you can afford it, its one of the best ways (if not the best way) to game and while some die hard console gamers would complain the majority would just say "what? oh man...oh well" and move on. :(II_Seraphim_II

MGS4 was great if you loved MGS but I'd argue it was the weakest MGS overall hence why it's not my GOTY. Toriko42

Coming from a poster that doesn't own a PS3, you aren't really surprising anyone.

Both assumptions were right, so yeah, you're welcome. I knew you didn't have a PS3 and I was right.,

therefore your opinion of MGS4 is that of a mere borrower/renter.

You have no stake as an owner. Furthermore, I was right about Blu too.

Lastly, good luck trying to get ANY gamerscore on MEGAMAN 9, with the 360's Dpad, lol. I am going to go for another assumption thinking you have 100 or less in Megaman 9 for 360. Just assuming, you can try and own me, I am good at this Psychic stuff.

You may have borrowed MGS4, but did you mess with all the DL content? Did you play it on hard? Did you unlock invisibility? Did you listen to the Ipod MGS4 podcasts? Or did you not have enough time, because you borrowed it? Same goes for his opinion on GeoW2, as it's not a full fledged opinion.

Believe what you want man, I don't get checks from any company, but I call it out like I see it, just like you.In this case, he said I was right, so I guess my instincts turned out to be right, which is fine.

Here's a tip, when a poster says I DIDN"T LIKE GeoW2, and sports a bunch of PS3 Sigs and Avatar stuff, he may be the real fakeboy.
