Haha I did that for MGS1 when I accidentaly skipped a scene. I played them all back to back and son of a gun they are amazing. Anyone who just plays 4 without playing the others will not understand why 4 is so great.

lol. how dare a story-driven game have cutscenes. i mean the nerve of them, trying to explain an in-depth story with CUTSCENES!!

MGS is an amazing series. you sir, just need games you are more intellectually suited for. try a mario game. you should be able to handle that story.

Just because it's claimed as one of the greatest games this generation and praised by critics everywhere doesn't mean it's overrated. It is my favorite game of all time. The cutscenes were the best part.

By the way it is the only exclusive this gen to get a 10 on Gamespot. ;)

100% Agreed, the most over-rated game ever this gen. Gameplay makes up about 40% of the game, cant walk 20 feet without a cutscene interrupting. can't even roll fast like in MGS3. knock down, get back up only to get knocked down again by enemy, repeat. We saw hours of Raiden footage in cutscenes but didnt even get 1 chance, not 1 chance to play as him.

Haters gonna hate.

MGS4 is one the pinnacle games in this gen.
Obviously its not gonna be catered for all since people expect different things and you should ought to play the first 3.

There's got to be a cure for the angst that still festers in those who cannot accept the perfect 10 MGS4 received.

No matter what platform this game was on, I still would say the gameplay sucks ass. Now what you going to come at me with? If you can't handle my opinion, don't respond to me anymore.

I played the others and TBH, I have a hard time seeing why somebody would call it the best game of the gen. For everything it does, there's other games that do it WAY better IMO. I also think that it was lacking compared to its predecessors.

It does have great things about it however.

Its not overrated. It is an amazing, beautiful, fun, and engaging game that should be played from beginning to end by anyone who enjoys a story in a game or great third person action games.

Even if the cutscenes were cool, I don't reall think all them them were needed.

I mean, would anybody really object to scaling the cutscenes back to the MGS1 levels and having more in the way of gameplay?

Absolutely agree. Some of them were overplayed and extended beyond what was needed... Still cool though :P

MGS4 is hardly high-brow entertainment. It certainly does not warrant this kind of elitist attitude.

gamespot gave it a 10 out of pity for the ps3, which desperately needed a "killer game". everyone knows the game does not deserve it.

You were talking about gameplay, so i used a game that I thinks sucks, that is known for having bad gameplay, that I know you played for the first time recently, as a example, because no way in hell does dues ex have better gameplay the mgs4, plus I have never seen you say 1 good thing about a console game, so I came to the conclusion that you were just bashing it to bash it. There a few things wrong with mgs4, gameplay was actually one of the better things it did, story and long CS is what made it a bore.

So you can say Deus Ex gameplay sucks , but I can't state my opinion that MGS4 sucks? Keep assuming **** bro, see how far you get in RL. I have said plenty of good things about console games that I think deserve it. I was just recently harping on RDR and LA Noir.

I find it really scary how much you care what I think.

Just beat it as we speak, on my 4th run. Most epic game on the planet in the final fight scene.
