Why do so many people believe that MGS4 will be a AAA lock?  I know it will be a good game, but AAA?  MGS for the PS scored 8.5, MGS2 scored 9.6, and MGS3 scored 8.7.  Only one in the series is AAA.

Because its a worth while hype. Sony will show their promise like they always do. Oh and, just because GS says its not AAA doesnt mean it isnt.

Because MGS games are awesome. Also check back MGS series ratings, there are more AAA MGS games than those.

Dont you mean six-axis? No, if people could just under hype expected AAA games it would be even sweeter when they score high. There is something to be said for lowered expectations. I predict MP3 7.9...;)

If you want to include all MGS games for every system, there still are more AA than AAA.  I think the whole substance thing is a slap in the face to fans.  They include a lot of extra content in the game that should have been there in the first place.  How many people actually spent anouther $50 a year or more later for the substance game.

MGS3 SE was $50. And Subsistence was $30 a huge number of extras like free online multiplayer, the old MG games among others.

So you payed $50 for MGS, then $30 for your free multiplayer.  There were some extras, no doubt, but in my opinion not enough to pay $80 for.  That's Konami getting the best of you.

If you knew what those extras are you would know why I'd thank Kojima. And no, I didn't pay $50 for SE

Whether or not it's "AAA" it will still be a great game i suppose...
If it scores AA whoever buys it (who visits these forums) is not gonna care because he/she's going to be playing it.

I owned MGS2 substance for the Xbox and MGS3 snake eater for the PS2.  I don't recall getting any of the older games in the substance version, the extras were pretty much training/simulator type missions.  I didn't own Subsistence, so I don't know what was in it.

Well Subsistence is way more give away than Substance. Subsistence even has a 3D controllable camera. There are too many stuff to list it, you should check it though...

Metal Gear is the best series in gaming history. best storyline. if anyone says different they are just to dense to understand it. and it may be movie like but that is what helps build a great story. Best characters. Yea, even Raiden. too many people were offended by the switch. Kojima took a chance and it flopped for some reason. he admitted he was wrong and gave us Raikov to do whatever our sadistic desires told us to. Gest gameplay. while people may complain about realism, think about this, would you rather have a stealth simulator or just a fun, long lasting game with an amazing story?

It's amazing. Theres no beating it. im just dissapointed that ill never get to work with kojima in my lifetime.

BTW im not stating that this is FACT. im just making opinions i believe to be true

first of, i dont care what this site gives it, it's the best series to me (that and RE)   :)

second of all, aside from the gameplay it's one of the series that really have a great story that does not insault the intelegence of the player by a half @ss story like "ohh, bad guys taking over, lets fight them"

[QUOTE="PSBox3SixWi"]Metal Gear is the best series in gaming history. best storyline. if anyone says different they are just to dense to understand it. and it may be movie like but that is what helps build a great story. Best characters. Yea, even Raiden." What storyline? The ongoing adventures of a man who keeps fighting bizarre cartoon powered freaks who babble bad poetry against a semi-realistic military backdrop? Every game in the Solid series unfolds in the exact same fashion. The control on Snake is clunky in comparison to its competition. The camera is a mess. They tried to fix it with Substance with mixed results. I enjoy playing the games just to see the crazy cutscenes. Where else are you going to see somebody get "flip kicked" by a motorcycle or fight a man made out of hornets against the backdrop of the Cold War? Kuwabara, kuwabara! (god its all so deep please help me understand...last ray of shining light alpha now we are innocence come back mission fatal) At least Kojima has a good sense of humor. Maybe he will tone down the "fan service" with this next one.

Well you said it was your opinion, and the third sentence contradicts that statement. ha. anyone else's opinion would be incorrect then? anyway, i'm more into multiplayer-capable games, but i think metal gear is a great series and whether AAA or not people are still gonna buy it because it is the end of the whole story. (even if snake looks that old :p)
