Just finished GS's GOTY, Movie Gear Solid 4..

I must say that it's one of the best (and worst) video game experiences you'll ever have. The Graphics and Cinematics are off the chart and the story in unmatched in the VG world. However, I must have spent like 6 hours actually playing the game.. :? I will say that if you a MG fan(like me) you won't find a better experience.. but in all honesty I hope Kojima finally put this puppy to bed.

btw, anyone complaining about this game being selected for Best Graphics... you need to play this title.. This game ****s on 98% of 360 games. But I'd imagine having to install every chapter helps.

PPl are trying to hard the got goty its over get over it stop crying . MGS4 won goty yah.

good for you

Oh look, now you have done it! All the MGS and Sony fanboys are entering this thread to eat you alive.

On topic, who cares? Blog it.

funny I rememberd around 10+ hours of fun gameplay.dattruth4real

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"]1. Its Metal Gear Solid..."Movie Gear Solid" is got real old eons ago :? 2. Watch the GOTY video here at GS and fully understand why the long movies are an plus rather than a minus.AAllxxjjnn

Think of it this way, mgs4 was mainly a lovenote too fans, it wasnt meant too pick up any new fans, although it deffinetley has, and the whole long cinematic complaint is extremely longwinded, the only overly long cinematic was the ending one, but it was a bit justified when you look at it as Kojima had too close all the open gaps in the otherwise fantastic saga.

[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"] That might have been the worse reasoning I've ever heard. Long cinematic are never a plus in video games.OhSnapitz

You don't like looking at a man's ass all the time. :lol:

ah the undying fanboy flame...if you were a mgs fan... you wouldn't be saying it's one of the worst experiences. You would know what to expect in mgs4 if you've played the ones b4.eklineage

^Yeah, I agree. E.G. when yoU *spoilers*GodofBigMacs

In all my years of gaming, I've never played a more immersive game than MGS4. The cutscenes simply add to the overall experience and are entirely necessary. It's better than 20 pages of typed print trying to tell you the story.

[QUOTE="II_Seraphim_II"] I would agree if you couldnt skip them. But you can just as easily skip them or pause them. The cinematics were made for MGS fans who love the MGS story and are used to these long cinematics. Now, if they had add long cinematics and crappy gameplay, you would have a point, but MGS4 has as much gameplay as most other shooters this gen (and more than Gears and COD4, so dont even claim the gameplay is short) and its some fantastic gameplay. If the cinematics are too long for you, skip them. If you actually want to fully understand the story, then you have to play all the previous titles and if you played the previous titles, long cutscenes should come as no suprise to you. And your statement is way too general and broad. In the case of MGS4, long cinematics are plus as they add alot to the overal explanation of the story and the character development. Story is just as important as gameplay in the MGS franchise, so it gets just as much attention. If you have a problem with that, then I have to ask "why are you playing MGS games?" Its like saying "oh man, I hate shooters" then going out and buying Gears2 and complaining.AAllxxjjnn

poor lemms, they just cant get over that the ps3 has exclusive GOTY for 2008. maybe next year lemmings with , hmm i cant think of any games for the 360 for 09 :(spike6566

Yeah good luck trying to outsell the 360 in 2009.

As long as there's the option to skip over them, I don't understand the major malfunction of long cutscenes. It's one thing if you're forced to sit through 20+ cutscenes but in this case you aren't.

why do people hate good gamesAfro_Samurai1

Oh my godz! MGS has lots of cinemas! What's next? The sun is yellow? The seas are blue because they reflect the sky? Blood flows through our veins? 1991 wants its old complaints back. This has been thrown at every single MGS game and guess what...nobody cares. Its the only hate that can be spewed for those with tiny attention spans and a lack of appreciation for the artistic nature of video games. You want instant dumb fun? Put in gears of war. Bam. Or just pop into some halo 3 multiplayer. All the dumb fun you want. MGS is obviously a higher caliber of entertainment and is not for you. Bread_or_Decide

I guess I wouldn't complain about MGS cutscenes if they were all good. To me, it is as distracting/negative in such a story-heavy game to have poor dialog/timing as having a bad level in any other game (Library in Halo anyone?).

You talk as if all 10-or-so hours of cinematics were amazing...well, they really weren't (Drebin Beast postmortem monologues = fail), and it has nothing to do with attention span. In fact, the heavy-handed nature and often repetitive dialog in which Kojima presents the story is not "higher caliber entertainment", it's treating me like I'm a child.

I appreciate that MGS is unique in its cinematic presentation and high production values, and I can see how the "same old" complaints against it are annoying...but I'm just as tired of fanboys acting like it's Oscar/Pulitzer material.
