I just watched the MGS4 Gameplay Demo, and I think it's the most idiotic game ever, worse for the fact that it takes itself so seriously a lot of the time.

It has all the sensibility of a dumb blonde cheerleader: lots of pretty gimmicks, no common-sense.

About the only thing good about it is they seem to be trying to copy Splinter Cell more, with the new control scheme.

Of course, all the Cows and the kiddies will lap it up. though. :roll:

I'm waiting for Splinter Cell: Conviction. Stealth Action for grown-ups.

Wow you're dumb. If anything the Splinter Cell series is a knock off of the Metal Gear Solid Series. Also, MGS4 looks like the most amazing game I've ever seen.

You are aware of course that Metal Gear Solid pretty much invented the stealth action genre, right? You are also aware I hope that it predates Splinter Cell by four years and that numerous games in the series are listed amongst the best games of all time?

Was just wondering that, don't particularly care for this topic.

Same, I think it's because we are already desensitized to these kinds of topics after posting in System Wars for a while.

Wow, I don't think I could possibly disagree with you more. MGS4 looks amazing and it's pretty much the only reason I really want a PS3. Plus, unlike the Splinter Cell series, MGS games are actually fun.

I don't care if MGS predates SC. SC games feel like decent (if overly simplistic) thriller movies. MGS games feel like a bad anime.

And MGS looks to be copying SC's control scheme. About 5 years too late, but still...

thriller movies huh? i've played every SC game, and if by "thriller" movie, you mean hiding in darker than average corners, with a main character so boring that his only hint of personality comes through the wise cracks he makes whenever someone gives him an order -- i'll pass the next game thankyou (dont they make like 3 every year?). SC, while it may have some fun gameplay elements, has little to no personality what so ever.

It's in 'Preferences' to the right of your name, in the top right corner of the screen. Act as if you're going to quote the person who said the comment you want to sig, and then copy and paste it into the box for your sig.

oo and copying the control scheme? you mean to tell me that any game that has an over-the-shoulder point of view is copying off of the godly game that is SC? give me a break, MGS has all 3 shooting perspectives, as well as six-axis control. stop yourself.

While on the outer shell the MGS series is serious, at its heart it's full of very good humour which I think anyone should be able to appreciate. The game looks like it plays well, and that it's good entertainment start to end with great cinematic appeal, everything a game should be.

Why do you think I said "overly simplistic"? I dunno about you, but when SC:DA made me choose between killing/not killing Yeager, I thought that was perhaps the best gameplay ever in a stealth action game. Not this "rolling down the street inside a metal barrel" BS.

And it's not like Snake has much of a personality either... unless it's of a homosexual dirty old man.

which proves that you have never played MGS for more then 10 minutes, if at all. The barrel?It's called a sense of humour, you should get some. And snake is possibly one of the most interesting characters in gaming. don't ask me, ask the 20 other people on here who are laughing at your accusations.

Previous MGS games had that three-quarter top down view. MGS4 goes with the independent movement and aiming third-person action view. A good change. A refreshing change.

Atleast Mgs is entertaining. SC is all about walkin around in the dark and randomly shooting or strangling people. I got bored of it after the second game.

There's "a sense of humor" and then there's "making me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon because what I'm seeing is so stupid." MGS4 tends to go for the latter.

It's games like this that make people think all games are for little kids.

MGS is so different from Splinter Cell, that they shouldn't be compared. Splinter Cell goes for the more realistic approach. MGS goes for a sense of humor and oddness.

you obviously have different tastes, and MGS is as about as far way from "kiddy" as you can get. while i have trouble understanding your opinions, ill respect the fact that you are into different types of games. so how bout you stop insulting good games and at least respect them?

Unduun is 100% false on the part of saying MGS is taking itself too seriously. The case is totally opposite, MGS doesn't take itself seriously, not as seriously as Splinter Cell does. Unduun was obviously trying to say anything negative, but unfortunatly, chose the wrong random-accusation to spew out.

you compared two completely different gameplay moments without citing the quality of either. then you resort to personal attacks against the MGS main character. you're not making a compelling case. you're not even waging it in a mature manner.

I said it takes itself seriously a lot of the time. I know it also tries to be humorous a lot, but the whole game is grounded in ideas of war and conflict, which are serious matters. In that context, the attempts humor come off more like immature gimmickry designed to appeal to 15-year-olds. Oooh, look, I can hide in a trash dumpster! And it smells! :roll:
