Why are so many fanboys crying over a 9/10 score? Jag85
Because the problem isn't with the number, it's the reasons behind that score.
Personal biases like feminism shouldn't affect a professional review. If I don't like JRPGs, should I give FF7 a 1/10 or not review it at all? If I'm gay should I give GTAV a 1/10 because all the main characters are straight? No because that's not professional.
I won't comment on the reviewer's gender identity since that'll get me modded, but giving Gome Home, a story about lesbians, a higher score than a game with a million times more content, shows a certain bias that shouldn't exist in a professional reviewer. There's supposed to be a difference between "her" and some random person on the internet.
MGS1 is my favorite game of all time, however the Metal Gear series died with MGS4 for me. It ended beautifully with everyone's story wrapped.
I hated Peace Walker. It was an unnecessary spin-off to an already complete story. Everything that needed to be said (the link between MGS3 and MG1) was already said in Portable Ops, which while having inferior gameplay, had much better characters and story. And it seems with every new installment, more and more things get retconned.
Metal Gear Rising is also just some spin-off which I refuse to factor into the main canon. While the gameplay was fun, Raiden's story ended perfectly in MGS4, no need to frak it up by him going back to war.
Kiefer Sutherland is the final indication that this series is no longer for me. Kojima doesn't really see the problem because they're keeping his favorite Japanese VA, which he has always considered the "true" Snake. David Hayter's voice was unique, I've no interest in generic Jack Bauer.
Kojima should have ended things on a high note, not milk it to the ground. Move on man, do something original
That "one day" will probably be when the PS3 is discounted. But, OnLive tried gaming streaming and it sucks, the video quality is awful and the lag is unbearable
