At least one million pirates!!!!!!!!! buh buh buh... pirates are not problem on the 360!! As if this is going to sold piracy. Fact is, those who are banned already know what the problem was. They can easily purchase another 360 for $100 at walmart ( $100 gift card), and be on their way. If they feel more scandalice, what is stopping them from swapping their 360s at walmart?

[QUOTE="Indie_Hitman"]Im getting this game soon due to the story depth as I love a good story but I havnt played the earlier games. Is it worth reading the general storyline on wiki? TheGrat1
Download the MGS4 database for free on the PSN. It will tell you everything without spoiling MGS4. I'll check that out. Won't make a huge difference unfortunatley IMO. Additionally... does the MGS Collection work on the PS3?
[QUOTE="pdagamer"][QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"] Kojima gives you a lot of toys to play with. If you don't play with them how do you expect to enjoy the game? He really leaves it up to you. Some games put the action right in front of you. Some games are designed so that you go about them as you see fit. Kinda reminds me of Bioshock, you could breeze through it, or you could enjoy trapping bad guys, killing big daddy's more methodically. If you just find the easiest way to do things it will be less satisfying. So yes the way you approach a game can sometimes be your own fault, not the games. Bread_or_Decide
So.... "you're playing it wrong!!!!!" ??? If you're running through the level, you're not playing it at all. It's a figure of speach. If I am able to make my way through the level, sedating enemies who get in the way... I am playing it as it was designed. At most, this is a design flaw, not any fault of mine.

While I think the OP is simplistic, I don't think that's valid way of rebutting someone's opinion. It's a type of dismissal that can be used to combat a negative opinion of just about any game.

LMAO mgs4 is a love letter to fans, and to those who played the first 3 games. you don't appreciate it siply becuase you're too young to play the first 3 games, or you didnt have a ps1 or ps2 to play the first 3 games. you will easily get lost to lots of references here and there and that's why you don't appreciate it. now why is that? it's a damn sequel of a heavily story-based game! it's not like CoD where the sequel's story isnt really that important. this is how you make a sequel and an ending. you basically tie in all the loose ends. psh. people here are bashing mgs4 probably because it's their first mgs game. what a joke. we already know that mgs relies on its predecessors for its backbone story and characters. if you've never played mgs1 you wouldn't know who Meryl or Campbell is, you just know they're in the game an d that there's too many characters, etc. lmao.

Actually... I did play MGS1 and MGS2 and skipped the third... I know the references. I just am not impressed.
Calling it a movie is funny since it has more gameplay alone than the entirety gears of war.

That is total crap.
Sons of Liberty was mostly cutscenes. What do you mean?mo0ksi
To be clear... are you saying that MGS2 had more cutscenes ( in length ) then MGS4?
I got 50/50 story/cutscenes in MGS4, best ratio of any MGS title, so I think everyone is lying.110million
Whaaaaaaat? Dude... I felt like I played on 15-20 minutes of in Act 2. Maybe I'm too good? BTW... I was playing on Solid Normal, I think it was. Do ACT 3, 4 and 5 have more gameplay then Act 1 and 2?
[QUOTE="aaronmullan"]It's a 10/10 game. AAAAE. GOTY 2008. Definitely one of the best this gen.110million
Second. Many haters weren't MGS fans to begin with, some long time fans do disagree, some prefere MGS3 and I can see that, but MGS4 was amazing regardless, the vast majority of haters I still believe were not long time MGS fans, but like I said, some who were do seem to not like the game.
the thing about metal gear solid 4 that a lot of people forget when they go to play it is that its a deeply story focused game, it depends on you having experienced the previous games in some way shape or form before, if you have then youll see a lot of fan service, a lot of loose ends tied up and such, if you just buy it as your first mgs game and expect to get the same impact as a long time mgs fan then your almost garaunteed to be disappointed.

Yes. The game is very story focused, and the story is good. I think the story is very well-written, especially compared to MGS2. However, you are missing the point. Where is the gameplay? The previous titles weren't 95% movie, 5% gameplay.
