Its time to bail out everyone. Some guy got the game early and has ended it(and hes legit, he has pics and everything). Hes pretty much walked through the game for a board and now spoilers are spreading everywhere.Every thing is linked, even who the patriots are and the ending.

In addition, the strategy guide came out today and people have already recieved it and it contains spoilers.

MGS4 has mediocre graphicsmingo123

No, it doesnt though.

Okay, one thing you guys dont understand is why this game looks so good in motion and not in stills. Many previews have said that the reason MGS4s graphics looks so good and immersive is because of the environment. For example, there is always dust flying about, garbage flying out, explosions, the wind blowing snakes hair etc. Stills cannot capture these intricate details which make MGS4's environment so lifelike. If you dont believe me, just watch the 15 min gameplay trailer again to see for yourself or if your in a detective mood, find the previews that said this.

Also, dont compare MGO to MGS4. While MGS4 runs at a solid 60 fps, mgo only runs at about 30-40. Also, MGO's graphics, though not bad, are not nearly as poilished as MGS4s. it also lacks most of the affects I mentioned above that make the environment so immersive.

besides the graphics, didnt you feel deja vu all over? my boy couldnt even play it anymore, cause he complained that it felt like GTA from past all. Rahnyc4

Yeah dude, I was like wtf, Ive done all this before. All the previews and stuff were saying how much they have changed the game to make it more immersive and how everything is a lot better and realistic.... The stuff that has been included that is realistic has just ruined the game(driving, lack of weopens, no more fun stuff such as parachuting and jetpacks). All the stuff that sounded kinda cool like the police being a lot harder and real consequences for stealing car just werent there(oh cool, you hotwire for 3 secs now)

I actually take back the 9 and would give it an 8.5. I think that reviews have just become total BS now. Im not saying that the publishers necessarily pay off the sites but it is in the site's best interest to keep good ties with the developers and give good scores(more hits etc.)

Dude go blog about it somewhere else. This is system wars, not blog wars.

Plus you say its very very disappointing yet you still gave it a 9/10.

I didnt say its a bad game man. When I do get a next gen console, it will be my first game. Im just saying that I thought it would be a lot better with it getting 10s everywhere including gamespot and ign.

The thing I was most dissapointed in was the online. I dunno, I just had really high expectations with what I read, it sounded so awesome. When I actually played it, it was pretty boring online.

So I finally got the chance to play it yesterday(have no next gen consoles yet) and I have to say this game is really overrated. I played it for 5 hrs yesteday and here are my arguments:

1. From all the reviews and hype, it sounded like they completely revamped it to make it a lot more immersive. Supposedly the pedestrians were supposed to be like real people. They are exactly the same as past GTAs! THey talk randomly like before with nothing good to say or anything.

2. The car controls are just completely weird. This isnt that much of an argument because I heard they just have to be goten used to, but they did piss me off a lot.

3. The physics are kinda weird. I have a love hate relationship with them. Sometimes they are just bloody cool but other times they are just ridicuouly weird.

4. The cutscenes are too bloody long. I mean they could condense them so much, theres too much dialogue and most of it is filler. I dont understand how MGS can get blasted for its cutscenes and not this.

5. I didnt like the radio stations much but thats just a personal opinion and doesnt matter too much.

6. The online isnt nearly as fun as it sounds. When I heard all the details about the online, I thought it would be the best online game ever. I mean cmon, Cops n Crooks sounded so damn cool along with everything else. In reality though, it isnt that fun. TDM is just ridiculously boring because the map is so big and you barely ever see anyone. Cops n Crooks is a bit better but still not as fun as it sounded. I think th eonline would be a lot better if you were restricted to certain areas and didnt have the whole map. Sometimes I went like 5 mins without seeing anyone.

Anyways, what I did like a lot was that:

1. They have made the graphics a lot lot better, this game is actually pretty impressive this time graphically.

2. I love the new combat system, the whole cover thing and all is really good.

Overall I would give it a 9/10. Good game, just not nearly as good as I thought it would be or as everyone hyped it to be.
