MGS4 is abysmal. The first 2 acts are pretty promising, but then :-X
did you sell your 360 to help pay for it?
Damn. MGS4 is that bad?
Are you gonna get LBP? It has offending Quran chants...Not anymore it doesn't. The newly shipped version has the track as an instrumental now, and a patch killed it for those who were able to get it early.
All games are rentals, just get GameFly
Uncharted - weekend
MGS4 - weekend
Ratchet - weekend
etc
Damn. MGS4 is that bad?

Himuro has godawful tastes and likes terrible animu, so he might end up liking MGS4.

MGS4: Better than MGS2, Equal to MGS1, Inferior to MGS3

Don't listen to anyone else.
Why are you getting multiplatform games on the PS3? Most look and perform worse than their 360 counterparts and mandatory installs on consoles are ass.

Well, a lot of people hated on MGS2 but I loved that game. I would replay it over and over trying to get the dog tags and stuff, and beat the tanker level in like 5 minutes or whatever.

MGS2 is my favorite in the series, duder. I like how it told a bizarre story in an uncompromising answer. MGS4 goes on to answer the questions of MGS2 with a story and script that even Steven Segal would laugh at before wiping his taut ass with it.

I will take flak for this, but rent Heavenly Sword. It is really short and the framerate is choppy, but I thought it was a pretty fun beat em up. Just go in with tempered expectations and turn off the horrendous motion control. Turn off motion control in just about every game that has it, as a matter of fact. It has a nice little (if simple) combat system that is kinda spiffy.
Uhhh Zero Hero's it's okay man. I'm in like, no rush to play any games on the ps3. All I play now are my ds/psp anyways.

I'm confused.

Seriously, it's a great game. The only complaint I'll concede to is about the 3rd chapter, which is the only real low point in the game. But then at the end of Chapter 3 is becomes fuck awesome again.
Um
what's so bad about ch 3?
Are you claiming that the ending isn't godawful?
Or the entire 5th chapter? Or most of the game after the second chapter? Or that mount rushmore boat?Nope.
Um

Are you claiming that the ending isn't godawful?
Not godawful, no. It's a little longer than it should have been and it's structure is a little off. Also I could have done withoutBut godawful? Of course not. And I very much enjoyed the final scene withspoiler (click to show/hide)the wedding scene.[close]spoiler (click to show/hide)Snake and Big Boss.[close]

spoiler (click to show/hide)Big Boss showing up was the most distinguished mentally-challenged thing ever. It took an already terrible ending and made it even more terrible. And the Raiden stuff was almost as bad as the wedding scene, too[close]
The biggest problem with MGS4 was touched upon above, it's no fun to replay because you can't just blow through it. There's lots of slow junk breaking up the sections of real gameplay and it turns you off to the point that replaying it just isn't fun.
MGS1-3 are fun because you can just speed through the games and enjoy the gameplay. MGS4 never lets you forget it's a movie.
why'd you put mgs2 so low
i actually think in terms of replay value, mgs2 is the best
I'm super gay for metal gear, but the game goes out of it's way to turn you off midway through, and it never recovers. The chapter 4 boss is fuck amazing, but little else after south america is worth a damn, and certainly none of the cutscenes.
^^ :lol that about sums up the game right there.
I don't understand Bebpo's point... play the game first, then replay it later while skipping all the cutscenes.
Um
what's so bad about ch 3?
you know those missions in GTA where you have to follow someone, but you can't get too close or far away? It's like that and it lasts AN ENTIRE FUCKING HOUR. And you'll think the sequence at the end of the act is cool until you replay it on a no-kills/extreme run and realize how stupidly unbalanced it is. I'd play the game a bit more if they could just fix that act.
Uhhh Zero Hero's it's okay man. I'm in like, no rush to play any games on the ps3. All I play now are my ds/psp anyways.

I got the BB emblem, I'm just saying that the game feels tedious to replay because the second half just isn't fun.Yeah, there's totally a sense of "I can't wait to see what sort of distinguished mentally-challenged bullshit the game pulls next" followed by the thought of "boy, I feel embarrassed for defending the plots in previous MGS games."
Rman - the pic is from late game, but they only show it for a second. I actually forgot about it which is crazy because of how silly it is, but there is just so much other stupid shit going on that it kind of doesn't register with you when you see it.

You have no choice at the end of Chapter 3.
Would you be using tranquilizing rounds or air foils while more than a hundred highly trained soldiers at shooting at you with machine guns?Don't try to make sense of MGS. I mean the series has boosted a gatling gun toting shaman, a bi-sexual vampire, and an inline skating explosive expert.
Well, you still have to do ch.3 first part which is slow and on the game's time not yours. Then you have to do the 2nd half of ch.3 which again you have to play it on the game's time until the game says it's time to move on. Both these parts were fun the first time but not so much on replays. Ch.4 just isn't that fun to replay because it's dull. Ch.5's final fight is a chore.
Should look wicked on S-Video

So in conclusion
MGS4 rocks. :rock
FWIW, MGS4 is still the best PS3 exclusive so far.
i'm pretty sure only hardcore sfags disagree with it to.
Nah, I'm a huge mgs cigarillo and I agree with DCharlie.I'm a bigger one, then.
nah, you've been outed.

My PS3 has only frozen a few times. Troubling, but it's been going for two years, which is a good deal more than can be said for either of my previous Xbox 360s. This one still works, but it sounds like a busy intersection. And it's UI sucks shit.
I too have had a few crashes with the PS3 recently. They're only minor problems like the controller not responding all of a sudden but I never had those problems before.
Btw, why do you care about UIs so much? You're a PC gamer so you should be used to user unfriendly gaming UIs.
THE UI SUCKS I CANT PLAY THIS POS AND ITS SO LOUD CANT STOP THE NOISE CUZ I USE TV SPEAKERS
I don't use my PS3 for any multimedia purposes other than playing DVDs and Blu-rays. It's just too complicated to figure out which codec works or not.

1. Are they going to provide these new models free of charge to existing Xbox 360 owners, and burn all old models? If not, the issue remains.
2. But not really, if you get a new model as replacement once your old system RRODs, again
3. Then again, it will probably just be a refurbished old model

PS3 is great for YAKUZA. Himuro will be happy.
Also Uncharted, Wipeout HD, and it seems like LBP & Valkyria are great. Resistance & Ratchet are pretty good. Hot Shots 5 is awesome but there are a lot of haters. Motorstorm is crap. Heavenly Sword is crap. GT5p is zzzz GT. Warhawk is fun. If you're into baseball people say the PS3 one is AAA.
I think that covers all the exclusives.

I had lots of fun with 2, actually. In fact, I'm going to replay it tonight.
To each is his own, I guess. The big reason I've favored the 360 in multi platform purchases has been the controller and the lack of mandatory installs. I agree that the UI is an abomination, but that's getting an overhaul, thankfully. The PS3 is a good system; it just never lived to the hype that Sony generated for it back in 2005. It lacks JRPGs, one its predecessors strong suits and the online is still terrible, look at SOCOM and LBP launches.
I really liked Uncharted and I thought it out-geared Gears too. I had (and still have) a big problem with the last couple levels of the game though. Just unbelievably shitty decisions all around.
How far have you gotten Himuro?

I agree. The reason why I liked it more than Gears in the first place was that the enemies weren't so well armored that you needed to fill them with lead to take them down, but at one point the game switched and you were fighting super strong enemies that couldn't be put down with a few shots.
Amen. It's the biggest reason why I choose the 360 version of certain games (aka shooters) over the PS3....well that and the fact that they tend to perform better on the 360.
Why can't there be a 3rd party controller for the PS3 that's like the 360 one? :(
Wut? At least the enemies in Gears were aliens. I found it way more unrealistic and annoying in Uncharted that normal human beings can take several shots to their tosos without wearing bulletproof vests.

Uncharted's unlockables were the reason I finished the game 4 times. I loved how they were handled and the fact that it made me want to earn them since some of them were things I'd actually want to use instead of a bunch of bullshit like big head mode or different character skins (though they're there too).

I don't care if they are aliens, monsters, or whatever if they're a bit boring to fight.

I love turning my ps3 on. It's probably one of the better hardware boot ups I've seen, at least next to the Dreamcast, psx, and gamecube ones. I love hearing that angelic....symphony as I turn on my console. It really gets me in the mood to game.
Okay. Drake's Fortune is pretty good.
Elena owns. Drake is a great character. Love the story, and the action is damn good. I'm really liking this.
Nice welcome party to the ps3 bandwagon for me, I guess.
