Why can't we all just say there all great games... O well. 360 fanboys should use this to show that Halo 3 really doesn't suck, I doubt that that many reviews were biased.

Lol cows are so hypocritical.

One day they're trying to prove they have third party support by showing all the games on the PS3 that got at least an 8 on some gaming website. The next day. when reviews don't favor one of the few decent exclusives of their system, they denounce the website and the importance of its reviews.

[QUOTE="svetzenlether"]That's a bit of a stretch saying it's WORSE than those other games based on a ratings average, isn't it? Besides, 92% is an OUTSTANDING rating for a game, especially on a metacritic-type site like Gamerankings.Couth_

Well when I said that Gears of War was one of the greatest games of all time, people attacked me. When people say MGS4 is one of the greatest games of all time, everyone is fine, even though Gears of War is rated much higher than MGS4.

MGS4 is better than Gears of War

Gears of War BLOWS mgs4 out of the water. And an average score ranking is actually the BEST way to score and rate a game. There fore its true, and mgs4 is not the god everyone thought it was. lol at mgs4

I just hate Sniper Wolf, Emma, and Naomi for making Otacon cry. I mean WTF! Usually the voice actor is pretty damn good for him, but whenever he cries it is cringe worthy.

Halo 3

Call of Duty 4

The Orange Box

GTA4

SMG

TLOZ: Twilight Princess

Oblivion

I will use your Gears of War as the comparison due to your profile picture. I see 21 perfect scores for MGS4 and 24 perfect scores for Gears of War. BUT, Gears has nearly 70, yes 70 more reviews than MGS4, yet they are almost equal in perfect scores. Also, take a look at some of the reviews that gave MGS4 an 8.0. They are garbage. One of the Euro reviews stated that you have to go through the first couple of acts FIGHTING BOTH SIDES OF THE MILITARY BECAUSE THEY WILL BOTH AUTOMATICALLY COME AFTER YOU IF THEY SEE YOU. Did this dude play the game? The rebels are on your side as long as YOU don't attack them. Most of those 8.0's don't take the game for what it is, it is Metal Gear, not some FPS with NO STORY. And yes I own a 360 and Gears, it is not close to MGS4. I also see NCAA football 04 ahead of MGS4, do you think that is better as well? I hope not unless you are blind. MGS4 is epic, deal with it.

But beyond that, both fights with Sniper Wolf are awesome. I always liked the Sniper boss battles in the Metal Gear games the most. Crying Wolf was easily the best boss from the BB Corps and The End is the second best boss battle ever in an MGS game.

actually snake is part japanse..raven says this in MGS1 and in mgs4...this comes up also

[spoiler] Big Mama : As the times and currents of politics changed, so too did
Zero. Eventually, he became a prisoner of his own lust for
power... Sparking friction between him and Big Boss, who
resented playing the puppet. With Big Boss drifting away,
Zero realized he would need insurance. Something that would
perpetuate the existence of Big Boss, their organization's
icon. And so, Zero secretly embarked on a new project: Les
Enfants Terribles. Its goal was to create a clone of Big
Boss, the ultimate soldier. The project was led by Dr.
Clark, known at the time as Para-Medic. After dozens of
failures, they finally - miraculously... Succeeded in
producing a fertilized egg. The egg used in the successful
in vitro fertilization came from Dr. Clark's assistant... A
heathly Japanese woman.
The voice of Vulcan Raven from Shadow Moses fills Snake's mind.
"Vulcan Raven : Blood from the East flows within your veins...."
Big Mama : "Give birth to Big Boss." To realize this, I asked to serve
as the surrogate mother... And was more than happy to carry
you in my womb. I loved him. Nine months later, I gave birth
to two Big Bosses [/spoiler]

Are you for real? A great game is not always defined by score. It dosent mean anything. I guess I should think GTA4 is one of the greatest games ever made because gamerankings says so. Well I dont. All games are a matter of opinion.

If that's the case, then the "10" MGS4 got on here doesn't mean anything either. :lol:

Seriously though. MGS4 and GTA IV are not 10's in my eye. I think a 9.5 would have been a more appropriate score. I have yet to really see a 10 game, even though SMG was pretty close.

You seriously don't know anything about the game do you. Just go, please, leave until you learn to not be such a bad fanboy, it's fine to be a fanboy but when you have this level of ignorance it just makes you look bad.

Who are the real hypocrits? The PS3 fanboys that insisted on using Gamerankings in the pre-MGS4 days, or the Xbox360 fanboys who insist on using Gamerankings now? Perhaps there is some middle ground to be had, like an averaged GR/GS score, 50-50 split.

  • Metal Gear Solid 4 got a 100% on Gamespot and a 92.7% on Gamerankings.
  • 100 * (.50) + 92.7 * (.50) = 96.35%.

Compared to:

  • Gears of War got a 96% on Gamespot and a 93.8% on Gamerankings.
  • 96 * (.50) + 93.8 * (.50) = 94.9%.

You could mess around with the percentages, I think Gamerankings should weight a little more considering the number of opinions it considers.

So that means it's worse then the following games this gen:

Gears of War

Halo 3

Call of Duty 4

The Orange Box

GTA4

SMG

TLOZ: Twilight Princess

Oblivion

SSBB

Civilization 4

Company of Heroes

Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords Gold Edition

Bioshock

And Cows still claim this is one of the greatest games of all time...

I will use your Gears of War as the comparison due to your profile picture. I see 21 perfect scores for MGS4 and 24 perfect scores for Gears of War. BUT, Gears has nearly 70, yes 70 more reviews than MGS4, yet they are almost equal in perfect scores. Also, take a look at some of the reviews that gave MGS4 an 8.0. They are garbage. One of the Euro reviews stated that you have to go through the first couple of acts FIGHTING BOTH SIDES OF THE MILITARY BECAUSE THEY WILL BOTH AUTOMATICALLY COME AFTER YOU IF THEY SEE YOU. Did this dude play the game? The rebels are on your side as long as YOU don't attack them. Most of those 8.0's don't take the game for what it is, it is Metal Gear, not some FPS with NO STORY. And yes I own a 360 and Gears, it is not close to MGS4. I also see NCAA football 04 ahead of MGS4, do you think that is better as well? I hope not unless you are blind. MGS4 is epic, deal with it.

Opinoin's are excellent.

Fullmetal22, You forgot to add the words "in my opinion" in your post.

Gears is ranked higher than MGS4. Thats a FACT. And its a better game. Thats my OPINION.

mgs4 is ranked higher than gow2. Thats a FACT. and its a better game. Thats my OPINION

Who are the real hypocrits? The PS3 fanboys that insisted on using Gamerankings in the pre-MGS4 days, or the Xbox360 fanboys who insist on using Gamerankings now? Perhaps there is some middle ground to be had, like an averaged GR/GS score, 50-50 split.

  • Metal Gear Solid 4 got a 100% on Gamespot and a 92.7% on Gamerankings.
  • 100 * (.50) + 92.7 * (.50) = 96.35%.

Compared to:

  • Gears of War got a 96% on Gamespot and a 93.8% on Gamerankings.
  • 96 * (.50) + 93.8 * (.50) = 94.9%.

You could mess around with the percentages, I think Gamerankings should weight a little more considering the number of opinions it considers.

Gamespot is included in gamerankings.

Mgs4 Outscored every 360 exclusive game to date on Gs, Only Gs scores count for ownage.

MGS4 10.0>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Gears Of War 9.6

You guys were deeply hurt by that one apparently, still trying to downplay Mgs4 success :roll: :lol:

Where have I ever denied that MGS4 is AAAA on gamespot? All I said was that it is ranked lower than many other games this gen on Gamerankings.

Gears is better than MGS4, and thats not my opinion, its based on Gamerankings.

jbz7890

Gamerankings doesn't tell you whether one game is better than another. It tells you what game has a higher average of review scores across print and web publications.

Using Gamerankings (or any review score) as gospel to tell you whether one game is better than another is foolish. Especially at the point where we're niggling between varying shades of 9+, relative quality is completely subjective.

Having played both to completion, I personally find MGS4 much better than Gears of War.

... :|

Anyway, this could have been seen by anyone the day it came out. It's a love or hate it franchise/game, which is why it seems to get so many 10's, a smaller number of 8's, and an even smaller number of scores in between -- even the haters had to give it an 8 or higher, its undeniably impressive.

I don't see why it matters anyway, it got a 10 here :lol:

Halo is the biggest game ever in America. It is what Starcraft is to the Koreans. I don't see how anyone could argue that SotC, MGS3 (are you kidding?) and God of War are better or more important games.

You're joking, right? Pokemon? Hell, Nintendogs has outsold it by the millions, and I'm only talking this gen. And that's just sales.
