MGS 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3) vs. Gears of War (Xbox 360)

First of all, I have to mention that I've got both consoles and both games. Apparently, MGS4 seems to be PS3 boy's golden game as where Gears of War seems to be Xbox 360 boy's golden game.

My reviews for these games were:

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots 10/10

Why do I define MGS 4 to be a perfect game? Well, the reason is, as for me it doesn't miss anything. However the highest points comes from the BEST storyline and storytelling EVER in games history. The second highest points comes from the GREAT gameplay, okay people may say Gears of War invented this idea first, but in my honest opinion, MGS4 implemented it better. Why? Because it doesn't just focus on the shooting, it focuses in the whole view, the whole picture which makes the shooting and everything feel by far more realistic, fun and clear. MGS4 misses the co-op that Gears of War has, but I don't think it'd fit on the MGS games, allthough it for sure wouldn't be minus either. Then the amazing graphics, best I've seen on PS3. There's a lot more to be said, but this is a short review and I hope you got my point. :)

Gears of War 7/10

Why is Gears of War not as good as MGS? Well, many of you say it's a lame theory to say the story is not good. Compared to MGS4 however, I must SAY it does suck. MGS4 would be a 8/10 without the amazing story. And also, this game has nice graphics, but it is pretty much screwed by the darkness in most parts. This game however has a co-op and it's always a plus, but it's done quite badly. Horizonal view sucks for me, also the moving AS in single campaing in co-op feels like you're in a tiny box and trying to move around, but you can feel you're moving in a cage and it takes the feel of fun away. Anyways this game's a bloodbath and its a DAMN GOOD THING! XD

Agree

MGS4 is the best game this gen > Gears of war, a generic shooter with no story that plays better on PC and wiht a **** multiplayer. (although 2 solved this a bit)

The only thing Gears has over MGS4 is graphics and online.SnakePS360Gamer

Gears online definitely > MGO.

One was made in 2006. One was made in 2008.

One had a billion years of Dev time. One didn't.

One had 10 hours of cut scenes and 5 hours of gameplay. One had 10 hours of campaign gameplay and hundreds of hours of multipayer gameplay.

Ones a freaking stealth game, ones a third person shooter.

You make sweet love to your PS3, i like my 360.

edit: I just noticed you called gears co-op bad. :lol: There goes all credibility out the window, nice try. :lol:

Lol, it seems you haven't played either games by those remarks.

I still own and play Gears all the time, the co-op and online were really fun imo

MGS4 on the other hand is more like a collectors item after you beat it it just sits around and collects dust or you can trade it in

It just might be a good idea to put that in the title.

MGS4 is overrated. No I have not played it and would not like to either but there are things about MGS i do not need to play without knowing they are a joke. I tried MGS2 and did not like it then. MGS4 has 20 hours of movie and 7 hours of gameplay. I just do not understand how someone can act like that is a good thing. A player has to have 3 hours of movie for every hour of gameplay is pretty sad. Thankfully no other developer is dumb enough to do that. I laugh at the fanboys that talk about how MGS story is better then other games well OMG for a game that has more movie then it would take to watch all 3 LotR special edition movies TWICE it better have some story. Most developers are able to tell a story with out having that much movie. I know the fanboys will throw a hissy fit but Kojima is not that great. Any developer that need 3 hours of movie for 1 hour of gameplay to tell a story is not that great.

Gears 1 was a new IP and MGS4 could not outsell it. I am guessing Gears 2 will sell far more then Gears 1. This just proves more people would like to play Gears then watch MGS. Also on Gamerankings Gears 1 is ranked higher then MGS4

Reading all that nonsense I left in the two words that described your post.

Seriously, if you're going to try and bash a game, at least use facts. You used the same fanboy dribble we hear every day that is not true.

i did not mean to attack Eltroz but obviously one cannot expect to be take seriously when bashing something he/she didnt even play... then when you say he/she is being biased or a fanboy, they hide behind the usual excuse 'but i was posting my opinion' or 'why am i a fanboy just because i have a different opinion'...

its not a question of calling others fanboys because deep down everyone (incl myself) have prefernces and to some extent are fanboys but i personally dont have a Wii so i never go into discussions concerning Wii exclusives since not having the console i certainly havent played its games...

How many of the people in this thread have played Gears of war 2 but the whole thread is comparing the 2 games. Oh I guess it is ok for the cows to talk about a 360 game they have not played though huh?Eltroz

no its not ok, i personally am not in a position to compare these games because am still waiting :( for my copy of Geow2...

however i replied on your first post because you started by saying MGSIV is overrated and they state you havent played the game or even intend to... am sorry but that doesnt make sense...

I've played both games and they are both some of the best games i've played. However MGS4 is truly one of the best games this gen. It's OVERALL better than GeOW. The only thing that MGS hasn't done very well is online.

Not saying GeOW sucks or anything but IMO MGS4 is the best game this year and surley goty.

MGS 4 is as much a movie as it is a game, wich makes it epic.in the end i was just shouting: CMON SNAKE!!! YOU'LL MAKE IT!!!

its so fking epic.

Gears is good too, but i prefer MGS 4 because i like story driven games

Are you trying to make a fool of yourself?, by saying "No I have not played it and would not like to either but there are things about MGS i do not need to play without knowing they are a joke" you effectively call yourself an idiot who cant be trusted to tell a proper opinion. I spent and so did a guy who posted in this thread earlier, 22-25 hours just finishing the game once. it does not matter how much movie time MGS4 has as long as its enjoyable, Something hard to find in Gears one and two.

a GAME like metal gear solid 4 has never been done before.

while gears 2 is just gears 1 with new gore moves =/

mgs4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gears 2
