the reason for the hype is because of mgs4 story. Unlike all games, the metal gear series makes you think about certain topics such as: Who or what are the patriots? how did liquid get control of PMC’s? What happend to raiden? its not always about the game being realistic. Very few people cared about Halo 3’s story. Most of the halo 3 fans only cared about the shooting and multiplayer.

This is why splinter cell came out. A better stealth game that is actually realistic.

MarkN: This is a blog first and foremost so we do share opinions. It’s also an open forum for your to share your opinion back.

And I’m not saying that I don’t like the game, since as I’ve said, I haven’t played the game. I was just posing a question: why all the hype? The consensus seems to be because of the games golden track record.

I’m still a little bewildered at how enamored people are at the nudie mags and other childish aspects of the game.

The people on those forums are clearly idiots. The great track record that MGS has is with people who love games. It’s a great action/stealth game. It’s not quite Splinter Cell (because you can usually just kill people, and there usually aren’t missions that end when you get spotted). Plus, it’s not a set of missions. It’s pretty much a huge, consistent area in which you accomplish objectives. It’s one giant mission, which, in my opinion, is more realistic. The mission changes over time, and you adapt to it by setting new objectives. It’s not cheesy in the “Objective completed” way, either. When you’ve done something, you know.

The reason there are so many cutscenes is because Kojima originally wanted to be a movie director. He certainly does a good job of telling a story. Stating that the reason someone doesn’t like MGS is because it’s half gameplay and half cutscenes is just a cop-out. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it because either the story just doesn’t stick with you, or you just honestly don’t like the gameplay.

I can see how stealth gamers (Splinter Cell) might not like it, because there’s a Hell of a lot more action than stealth.

Anyway, that’s it for my rant. I’m guessing that you just don’t like the gameplay, Justin.

Not trying to sway, just expressing…

He’s playing down the hype just like I’m playing down the hype on Crapassassin’s Creed.

Is this a game review site or a site where you state your opinions? In semi article it seemed as though you where trying to sway peoples opinion of who likes the game to dislike.

I’ve been hearing about metal gear for year and year, and I know it has a good track record… but with who? I’ve come to the conclusion that Sony “fanboys” are complete toolbags, with an age and IQ around 12.

I say this because while I was reading the playstation forums and stuff, the general consensus was this:

“OMG nudie mags YESSS!!!”

“He grabbed his PENIS! LOLzz”

“OMGz the graphics are so much better than the haloz! That means its more fun!”

“You can look at pictures of GIRLS! This game will rocks!!!”

Yes, I actually read all these things (not worded this way, but this is really how these people think).

I think I figured out why I dont get it… I’m not a complete moron.

haha, i didn’t think anyone else would notice the “package grabbing.” Along with those tights, Snake indeed looks like a flamer. Here’s to a costume change option.

Yeah, and if you’re putting someone in a sleeper, (which is btw a jujitsu move not judo thank you very much), I’m pretty sure you don’t have to hump them.

I’ve only played sons of liberty once, but i do remember that it kicked ass.

We would be fools not to get this game for PS3 dude. MGS has a very good track record.
