Penny Arcade: MGS4 is as exciting as peeling corn husks

http://www.penny-arcade.com/2008/6/11/

We combed through a few gameplay videos yesterday morning, and the level of excitement felt was commensurate with peeling corn husks. There's probably a listserv for people who do find that exciting, but I'm not a subscriber. It was slow, the action looked clunky as ever, and Otacon is in it.We were scourged by the experience. We really need to get with the program - I heard it got a "ten." Perhaps psychology has the answer...

I sometimes wonder why I buy every MGS game that comes out when I profess to hate them, and also authentically do hate them, but I know the answer. It is because I actively want to be wrong. I want to see the game people keep talking about. I want to be forced by its exacting auteur to apologize for everything I've ever written. I'm ready to have my ego obliterated and to truly learn something about the nature of liberty.

(And here's the real kick in the teeth to the cows):

And, like most Playstation owners, I'm hungry to use the machine for something other than Planet Earth.

Ill wait for the Yahtzee Review, thank you very much. black_awpN1

Yahtzee is going to sodomize the game. Just wait.

I was reading the 1up review, and it said the game is 70/30 gameplay/cut scenes and had a disappointing end to the franchise. That left me pretty sad. I'm still going to pick up a ps3 and play it though.whocares4peace

Don't count on the Metal Gear franchise to end. Just the Solid Snake Arc.

Yahtzee is going to treat this game the way an just-outta-the-joint ex-con treats a hooker.

and he might even use a reference like that in the review as well.

Here we go...they are not omnipotent. They don't always like what you or I like, just like any other people on the Earth.

Deal with it. If they said "ZOMG! Teh MGS4 is teh bestest!" Would that make you enjoy the game more? Of course not, so why should the opposite POV matter?

Play what you like, ignore what you don't, and don't let other people think for you.

tell mgs4 haters to go pluck themselves. lol mgs cutscenes are normally entertaining if like good movies. you get the best gameplay in its genre and a little movies. What more can u ask for.

you guys act like ugo boll makes mgs4 cutscenes.

Hey, maybe Dz8t2t is actually Yahtzee trawling the forums for popular opinions. :o :lol: :P

"We didn't always hate Metal Gear, but at some point during the final cinema for MGS2 I got the impression that Hideo Kojima hated us. Since then, I think we've simply been happy to return the favor. The only games I've enjoyed since then were the two entries in the Ac!d series, and that's because they were completely unlike Metal Gear."

This.^^

That was until now. MGS4 so far is pretty awesome, and so is Penny Arcade.

But Im wondering if P.A. even played the game; I don't find anything slow or boring about it (I'm about 2 hrs in).
