Last night it was running better then the day before, but it's still pretty choppy, especially in the menus. In a strange way it's almost nostalgic. The gameplay itself is actually pretty dam good. I'm interested to see what kind of scores the major review sites give it. I'm guessing 8s. The game never really should have shipped in the condition the servers were in, this is the first game I've experienced this gen, with this many online issues.
I can't see it being anything but multiplat. LucasArts and Bioware are all about the benjamins. Look what they did to the Star Wars franchise recentely.
sounds the exact same as mgs3 to me, but more streamlined and noobed down.

SOUNDS? Well play it and find out for yourself. Noobed down? Streamlined? Um. No. Again, play it yourself cause nothing I said sounds like it was "noobed" down. And you can't seriously play MGS3 and say its the same as MGS4. Hell its hard to go back to 3 after playing 4. Its perfection of the genre. Its not going to SOUND different. Its going to play better.
There wasn't a second of MGS4 that required you to sneak whatsoever. In fact all sneaking did was extend the amount of time it took me to get from cutscene A to cutscene B. The game was completely casualized, but it was still really good.
Simple math should have told people it wasn't going to happen for a good amount of time. Trying to make up a 6 million console difference at a gain of 30 - 50,000 a month is going to take 30 years.
I also own every game listed and still think Bioshock and GTA IV are better then the rest of them. MGS 4 is very very good, and has the best cutscenes and gfx I've seen to date, but the gameplay was a little too clunky for my tastes.
Unless you work in a game store how would anyone be able to tell if a game is flying off a shelf. The only games I know doing very well this week are Spore (sold out at 2 gamestops on the upper east side of Manhatten) and Rock Band 2.
