Post by: Himu on October 30, 2008, 06:04:41 PM
Just got my used 60 gig ps3 I ordered from ebay from the post.

I've got Uncharted, no MGS4 yet (which I'm dying to play!).

Sony for life.

Yakuza 3, FFXIII, FFvsXIII, Valkyria, and MGS4 are the very reason I bought a ps3. I'm such a homojapual and I'm proud of it.

MGS4 is great until the credits roll and then you realized what a mess of a game that was.  

MGS was my favorite franchise ever.  I replayed all the MGS games tons of times.  I will never touch MGS4 again.  The gameplay is a clusterfuck and the story shits on all the mysteries the previous games setup.  MGS3 is still game of forever and MGS4 doesn't exist.

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.

You have to play it and you'll probably love it while you're playing it.  It's really high budget in presentation and feels like some new genre melding of game+movie interactive media.

It's only when you're done that you'll never want to touch it again and wish it was anywhere near as good as MGS3 in gameplay & story.

There are better games to get for the triple than a metoo game, especially if it's your first. At least get something like LBP or MSG4, something that's unique to the platform.
Rent insomniac games, their mediocrity is not worth buying.
Rent Heavenly Sword, flawed but I liked it a lot.
Buy Motorstorm 2, 1 was amazing but lacked in content and features which 2 probably improved upon.

the prologue was awesome because it dwelved into horrible animu trappings that the previous mgs games made tasteful. The rest of the game was shit.

I mean, the best parts of the game were things that were copied straight out of MGS1 & 3.

MGS2 is my favorite in the series, duder.  I like how it told a bizarre story in an uncompromising manner.  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.

Yes.  It's not without its issues, but I loved it.  Mind you, I think 3 has better gameplay, but much like MGS1, the story in 3 is so hokey and overbearing.  MGS4 is just so uncreative.  The answer to everything ends up being nanomachines and AIs, and that doesn't make for very compelling storytelling.  They're just shitty plot devices.  Even worse, MGS4 is uncreative at length.  Those cut scenes are long, and most of them are shameful.  I'd say Kojima would make a better movie director, but he's not even so good at putting together cut scenes with polygon dolls.

MGS4 is a strong contender for have the worst ending of any piece of fiction I have ever read or seen, ever.  And unlike 1-3 it isn't even fun to do repeat speed/rank runs because of the GOD-AWFUL Act 3.  I still have a hard time wrapping my head around how this game could have been created.  People always said Kojima need someone to tell him to cut down on his scripts, but this time it seems like his staff was unwilling to tell him to change ANYTHING.  sooo bad

Although I definitely find it more overall favorable than TVC did, I would have to agree with his rankings of the chapters, and the story was pretty underwhelming (and I was another person who kinda liked what they did with 2, even with all the nonsense).

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.

Sneaking on the boat was probably the most MGS like gameplay in the entire game. The boss battle after was great. I really liked what the did with Snake crawling his way through the microwave hallway as you watched hell breaking loose everywhere else. The Mr. and Mrs. Smith cutscene was absurd, but I liked it.

And yes, I even liked the final fist fight. It was hard but I had no issues with the controls.

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.

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 just don't find it fun on replay anymore.  The end parts where the AI goes nuts and you run around naked with a sword is still awesome, but most of the game up until then is pretty dull.  The villains suck and Big Shell just isn't that interesting of location.

On replaying them all before MGS4 came out I enjoyed Portable Ops more because PO has Big Boss and Big Boss is the most likeable character ever.  The writing in that game was almost as much fun as MGS3.  The gameplay was also pretty decent on 2nd play since you don't have to recruit people and can blaze through it.

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.

The 2nd half of chapter 3 is really spectacular the first time you play it.  The boss fight rocks too.  Ch.5 first boss is pretty good too.  

I don't understand Bebpo's point... play the game first, then replay it later while skipping all the cutscenes.

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.

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.

The way MGS4 is designed, it doesn't even make sense to do a no-kills run, which is why I hate how the game rewards the player for less violence in every level.

Well in MGS4 they give you GUNS GALORE. And multiple ways to modify and improve your guns. And a lot of money to buy gun and ammo whenever you want.
So it gives you the incentive to go guns blazing.
But you can also ignore it and just use the tranq gun.

Do you also hate the Sorrow 'battle'? or how about the latter? having slow moody sections aren't new to the series, it just seems a lot more jarring because the first two acts have the most action seen in a Metal Gear game.

The 4th and 5th acts a bit dull to replay, especially the 5th because it doesn't have that MGS1 nostalgia there, but I did like them the first time I played.  First two acts are amazing and I've replayed them a couple times.

I can only hope that there is a MGSPO type game made for the PS3/360/PC/anythingbutthewii that has the MGS4 gameplay and is purely combat situations and all that.  Portable Ops was a good game outside of the controls issues.

And I want AC!D 3 on PSN/XBLA/Steam/notwiiware

Also, the best playing parts of MGS4 are basically just extensions of MGS3.

It made me question my career and what I had done with my life such that I ended up playing MGS4 and trying to enjoy it.

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.

He probably likes being able to hear the games over the system noise. Also, he probably hates the shit UI of the Xcrap 360.

:bow Xbox :bow2

:piss Xbox 360 :piss2


Yep, use it while you can.  about 3 more weeks before the era of quiet 360s with reduced load times. 


Himuro-- enjoy your PS3 while it lasts.  I got through the exclusives I wanted to play in about a month, then played Tekken DR periodically after that. But LBP seems like it'll have longevity...maybe.  If not, wait for home.


and as much as I'd like to say everyone is fucking with you about MGS4...it's pretty awful.  MGS3 set the bar really high with gameplay.  All of MGS4's areas that require stealth put together, cause shit is all broken up, probably total 1/4 of MGS3's map.

MGS4 is shit, pure and simple.  If you strip away all the non-interactive BS (and god knows there's a ton of it) all you're left with is an hour or two's worth of gameplay...maybe.  Hell, there was more gameplay going on in GAF's MGS4 OT than there is in the actual game.  I've never been a fan of MGS games before outside of the original but MGS4 made me appreciate MGS2 and MGS3 a hell of a lot more just because those games actually gave you something to do other than pressing L2 during a movie.  

Dog. Shit.

I feel sorry for those poor idiots that bought a PS3 for that "game".

And for all the people bitching about how high GTA4 scored, MGS4 is even worse imo.  I can't for the life of me figure out how the hell it recieved scores as high as it did other than masturbatory fan service.  And on that train of thought, how in Jesus's name did Eternal Sonata ever get good reviews?  Did I play a different, unbeliveably suck filled version than they did?  smh

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. It has really made multiplatform purchases difficult. Even though it hasn't happened in a while, I worry about the PS3 freezing up. And the 360 is so loud and has such an obnoxious UI that I don't want anything to do with it unless I really have to.

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. 

It's probably due to all the firmware updates in the last few months.   

That is probably the most annoying thing about the PS3.  Any mildly tech knowledgeable person would know that frequent 100MB firmware updates is not a good idea.  

Btw, why do you care about UIs so much?  You're a PC gamer so you should be used to user unfriendly gaming UIs.

I've noticed this happening more and more of as of late; the controller going out of wack, or not responding for a few seconds. I've assumed it was the controller being old and dumb that caused this, but I'm not sure.

Btw, why do you care about UIs so much?  You're a PC gamer so you should be used to user unfriendly gaming UIs. 

Those UIs don't extend to every part of the system, though. I've disliked the Dashboard since day 1, because it feels rigid, sluggish, claustrophobic, and because every expansion has happened inside that rigid framework. At least they are working on a replacement, but it's honestly amazing how someone could have thought that such a design was a good idea. Sony has its own issues with the PS3 software, but the UI architecture and speed shits all over the Dashboard one. Which sort of gives the PS3 a life beyond just a games machine; media browsing and playing is a breeze on the PS3.

Yep, use it while you can.  about 3 more weeks before the era of quiet 360s with reduced load times.

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
4. Wait for Elite 65nm Falcon Jasper

I played some Uncharted yesterday. It's fun. More fun than Gears of War at least. I played about and hour and a half, which is shocking because with Gears and many other third person shooters I can only play it for 30 minutes before I get bored.

Sony bias confirmed.

The graphics in Uncharted are unreal. I think my inner graphic whore (which rarely ever comes out) has been satisfied. The characters seem interesting too. It's pretty fun but I can't help that I'd get more out of it if I had a dual shock 3. =/

I didn't think Uncharted out-geared Gears.  the set pieces in Gears are so much more interesting and the guns feel better.  Uncharted lost a lot of points with me for having floaty physics and guns that didn't feel heavy enough.  It may have been the mushy bumpers causing that.

Getting a DS3 won't change your experience much with Uncharted.

Rumble was just an afterthought in Uncharted since the DS3 didn't exist yet.  MGS4 has nice rumble effects though.  

Honestly, I hate both the Sixaxis and DS3.  The DS2 was perfect for every genre except racers and FPSes.  

But now that Sony has switched the bottom buttons to squishy triggers, their controllers just suck for anything that needs more than 6 buttons, which is like every modern game.

I wish I could use my 360 controller on my ps3. That's really the only bad side for me when it comes to choosing ps3 versions over 360 versions. I don't want to deal with red ring or paying for online that MS will fuck me over with like they did last time. The mandatory installs thing is REALLY dumb though.

I got a ps3 for Yakuza 3, Kenzan, MGS4, FFXIII, Versus XIII, Valkyria, and the wealth of psn games. Those should satisfy me just fine.

The treasures you're finding are used to earn extras.  Some are kinda lame like behind the scenes movies but others are more useful like slow motion or weapon unlocks.  I particularly like the slow/super slow motion ones.

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.

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.

That's exactly what I hate about Uncharted: too much sniping for headshots with a freaking handgun.  A quick burst of bullets to the torso of someone who's just wearing normal clothes should be more than enough.  There's just an incongruous balance of realism when a head shot would be fatalistic while multiple body shots to an unarmored person would barely do anything.

Nice welcome party to the ps3 bandwagon for me, I guess.

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.

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

I'm the MGS fan here, listen to me.
Don't listen to anyone else.

If you like MGS, MGS4 is worth it. TRUTH

No one really gets MGS on this forum, I fear. That's okay, I don't get a lot of the games people say are good on this forum either.

There is an MGS4 demo on the Japanese PSN store, so check that out.

I get MGS.  Which is why I get Act 1 and 2, and the first part of 3, but not the last half of 3, or all of 4, or 5.   The game has really separated those who love the story and those who the gameplay.

I don't get MGS? Eh?

I've done no kills on MGS3 along with no alerts, on MGS2 I tried to get as many dogtags as I could get and completed most difficulty modes, i even bothered trying to get all dogtags in MGS:TTS which is an abomination...only because my friend had his name on one.

MGS is one of my favorite high budget series so what is this about not getting MGS?

Yeah, Bloodwake, did you not read the part of the thread where several self-confessed MGS fans had major issues with 4?  You are totally not the only person that gets MGS here.
