I have to admit the "Ah, they're trying to disperse the maximum amount of bullet impact over the bodies. Innovative, yet impractical" line made me laugh.

[QUOTE="cainetao11"]I love that I can't be a MGS fan and dislike some of the things Kojima did with 4. It's an awesome game, just not the best this gen, imo. And taking the game out of the players hands for stretches that long is a bad storytelling move, imo.MizFitAwesome

I like how every MGS fanboy prusumes people hate long drawn out and pointless cutscenes because they just don't understand. There isn't much to understand when the cutscene is long and pointless....

Cutscenes relevent to the plot are pointless now?

Wow. Am I the only one who loved the cutscenes in MGS4?SMR-Venom

yeah i love it too.. best game this gen has to offer..

Srsly this is so old. MGS is known for the cutscenes and we love them if you don't feel like sitting through a cutscene in a game then don't even try to appreciate this one.

I paid $60 for that long overexagerated blu ray movie that I only playe........I mean watched one time and got bored "watching" after 20 hours. Hell I could have gotten the matrix trilogy on blu ray for less than that.

[QUOTE="navyguy21"][QUOTE="StealthMonkey4"] Erm, you know you can skip the cutscenes...StealthMonkey4

MGS4 is definitely one of the best games this gen (if not THE best).

Lol @ people playing for 20 hours and being bored!

This fantastic game got a well deserved 10 on Gamespot, and last time I checked; Gamespot doesn't review movies.

Or do they!? :o

This thread is pretty sad I love MGS4 to death but I thought the video was funny.

Stop defending this game so uptightly just relax and laugh along with it. The story is amazing but sometimes the melodrama can make you laugh.

Its the end of an epic saga one that I will remember till the day I die play all the games it adds up to the epic conclusion that is metal gear solid peace walker.

It wasn't as good as some of their earlier ones but there are still 4 episodes left that will offer up much better material than the intro scene does.

Like Eve said Infinite and LO are both great. Plus they're are some running jokes involved with these so sometimes it pays to watch them all. Personally I love them.

Why do some people even complain, when they don't even have a ps3? :lol:

MGS4 is still the best game this gen (so far), keep in mind that the majority of those bashing the game due to its cut-scenes dont even own a PS3.. A successful series always get lots of hate (specially if its an exclusive series)

Unskippable is great.

Today's gaming Mystery Science Theatre 3000.

Anyway Metal Gear Solid in general makes great riff material.

For example I've been long enough in these boards to know who is a PS3 hater and who is not... strangely those who always shown in their post history their dislike towards SONY/PS3 all find MGS4 overrated or just a movie.. so there you go, thats my statistic... You dont need numbers/charts etc to realise who is a fanboy/hater and who is not..

That's actually pretty funny :)

No in other words its just how things are.. a Great exclusive game is bashed by those who dont own the system on which said game is exclusively available..

Then i guess i killed that logic, since i own all 3 systems, have played all the games i bash...and am still biased against sony. I played mgs 4, I sat through thespeedgamers run and really there is onlya bout 2-3 hours of actual gameplay in mgs 4 the rest is movie. Gameplay is in the eye of the beholder, you could sit and fight every fight, do complicated tactics to get past enemeis but in the end with mgs 4 all you have to do is fight a few required boss battles, fight some smaller enemies to get an item to open a door but you can literally RUN PAST not sneak RUN PAST every other enemy in the game and get to other areas without a single problem.WilliamRLBaker

so you're telling me that speedrunning games gives you the same experience as playing for example MGS4 as it should be, taking your time to improve your sneaking skills, upgrade weapons for a more balls-out experience, watching the cinematic cut-scenes etc etc..

I dont think so, and this applies to all games, when you speedrun games you just do it to break records and compare to others but you dont do that on your 1st play... Dont tell me you just buy games such as MGS4 to speedrun them...

No, he's stressing the sentiment of what most critics of the game say. Don't give anyone that as it should be garbage, this game only has a few hours of actual gameplay with way more cutscene watching and pointless codec convos (do I honostly care why Crying Wolf is crying?)

Why wouldn't you want to know? Having back story and filling in the little details are what makes a story great. If they didn't explain why the B&B corp wasn't they way they were, I would still be sitting here asking why the hell I was even fighting them. You must be one of those mindless zombies that just play FPS all day and, ohh wait your a lem thats all you got to do all day.

On harder difficulties stealth is rewarding and combat is punishing, the gameplay compelling, its great, despite the new emphasis on shooter mechanics and weapons - which are almost a design contradictions.

However on easier difficulties, you are not punished for entering combat. Damage is easily brushed off, and due to the new combat mechanics you can easily kill enemies.

Problem is MGS4 makes a bad shooter in this regard, even with the added shooter mechanics; there is little challenge compared to playing on the harder difficulties, and enemies do not make good direct combat combatants. Playing the game this way is not challenging, and unfulfilling - simply, poor.

As good as MGS4 is, it has huge flaws in its game design - saying that as a Metal Gear Solid fan.

It has some silly cutscenes but it's still one of the best games this gen.

OP has been updated with Part 2 enjoy.

the story could have been told in half the time but its still a great story. Lots of sci-fi, thriller, even horror elements.GunSmith1_basic

:lol: Popcorn of the Patriots made me lol. Love it the first time. After that it is skipped, unless its an epic cutscene.navstar29

I don't expect everyone to like metal gear solid 4, however, I feel sorry for you if you don't. -_-

amazing game. best this gen? probably not, but it's up there for sure!

Tbh it wasnt all that funny...

I doubt that was scripted, it was... meh...

Im fine with bashing MGS4, its sometimes funny to bash good games for little things, but they didt really...

And the taco thing? It wasnt even one of those thigns that are so random theyre funny, it was just plain odd...

Snake: Naomi Unskippable "Spelled backwards is I Moan...Hahah, Still got it" LOLShattered007

Yeah this week was way better. "this time we'll get a real doctor, not just one that plays one on TV"

"the men in the white coat is coming to take snake back to the home"

"they home has a helicopter?" "When Snake gets out, he goes far"

thx for the link i loved the two worlds one and never watched another after that...

beware the taint!!!

LOL is that the 3 PS3's guy?GodofBigMacs

yes it is

heh watched part 2, loved the "there are a lot of lizards" *other dude goes explaining what they are despite snake quite clearly knowing it already*

that's just extreamly bad story writing, you don't explain something to a guy that already ****ing knows it

I understand that they wanted it to explain it to new players, but there are other ways to do that, not a way that so obviously screams "bad writing" it borders on parody
