Probably means that the anime you like has almost no action at all.

Selective taste. MGS story is no better than the stuff you see in anime.

No not really.

MGS1 had a pretty good story, it wasn't very anime'ish to me aside from Psycho Mantis. MGS2 is when this whole anime thing started, with gay vampires and the like. MGS3 mostly upped that to ten fold with dudes that can attack with bees.

You're telling me it'd be adored even if it were an anime? Well, I guess you're right. Full Metal Panic has an absolutely awful story full of robots and crap that doesn't fit at all, and people loved that. I'm pretty sure they'd love MGS2 if it were in anime form.

Gray Fox, Psycho Mantis, Sniper wolf, "Can love bloom in the battlefield", Metal Gear Rex, Fox Die, Liquid Snake (MASters?!), etc etc etc.

The kind of acting, dialog, characters, it's all shit that i would eat up in an anime, because it's just easy for anime to get away with cheesy and over the top shit.

Really. Well, I haven't played that game in years. Or MGS2 for that matter. I recently replayed MGS3 and was lol'ing most of the game because I *like* the over the top cheesy shit.

But it's still not a good story to me.

I think 8 is a very good score, especially from Edge.

See, this right here. I'm not buying it these days. Edge doesn't seem any more discriminating, consistent or shy of lavishing select titles with often undue levels of praise than any of the "less respected" review crews out there. I'm not sure why this image" is still relatively untarnished, but it's pretty obviously a bunch of crap.

Because it has excellent gameplay to complement the excellent story and well-directed cut-scenes. There may be more cut-scenes in MGS4 compared to previous games but the gameplay sections are longer too according to reviews.

I just can't believe people are looking forward to watching 90 minute cut scenes in any game, let alone a fucking MGS one.  Jesus Christ, just how stupid do you have to be to enjoy MGS's storyline?  It's embarrassingly dumb.  But I guess if you're too busy beating off to anime in your parent's basement all day long you probably wouldn't notice.

Didn't Kojima say before that he doesn't think that videogames can be art?  If true, then him putting multiple 90 minute cutscenes in a game shows that he knows his audience is that idiotic.  Fuck him.

Managed to make a game worse than wii fit.

I really wish I could find the picture I took of my old dog resting his massively oversized Rottweiler balls on the Gamecube. Now those were some ripe trolling times. This generation, pffft. Every party involved has really "fucked up" on some fundamental level, so it's just too easy to be fun. But at least there is still MGS4 and such to shit on. And some good games, even. To shit on discuss.

long cut scenes are fine (except insofar as were they better written and directed they'd probably wind up shorter as a side effect); long cut scenes composed of ham-fisted plodding exposition are not so fine.

Zerohero, I understand where you're coming from but I really do dislike this franchise and that has nothing to do with sony.

I mean, it's rare that a 3 hour movie keeps you interested until the end but those cutscenes are only going to be a small part of the story for this game.  The thing that kojima doesn't understand is that you can only take so much ritalin before your writing doesn't cut it anymore for a videogame.

The problem here is of course that you assume that there is something Kojima needs to understand... when in reality, this convolution and dragged out pacing is much loved by many fans. I don't like it, apparently you don't like it either, but I really don't think there's much sense in saying that there's something here that Kojima doesn't get. I think he gets it perfectly, it's just not something that is very attractive to some of us. My apologies for the hippie response here, but your comment edges way and again too close to typical game critic territory.

My comment was not for the people who dont' care about MGS. I have not played them all myself but enough to want to add MGS4 to my library and experience the finale. I just can't take the people who make it a point to drag down a game they had no interest in anyways. It is so counter productive.

Well I've made my fair share of disses on the game even though there was only a 15% chance of me buying it.

I'm just saying that you can't assume that everyone trashing it doesn't have a PS3. There are a lot more PS3 owners here than you would think by the shitting-upon it gets.

I might even say that owning both makes it even easier to troll than just owning 360.

I agree, and as someone who is entirely unbiased and certainly quite polite in his rare criticism of games and their developers, it becomes hard to stomach this attitude.

Seriously though, I think it hits a point where it becomes downright destructive; when people seem honestly happy when a game fails to be good, or when they wish for something to suck because it's a "weapon" for the opposing camp, that seems a bit weird.

But then we're talking all serious like about, well, people talking about video games. We're pretty damned lame right now, and I'm going to go smoke some weed and listen to Cro-Magnon.

I might even say that owning both makes it even easier to troll than just owning 360.

This is certainly true. Nothing like shitting on a game, and know what you're talking about. Catches them little buggers off-guard.

well, from interview:

RP: Yeah, that was the plan at the very beginning. Mr. Kojima understands that fans -- well, not fans, since fans probably enjoy the long cinematics -- but people criticized the game for having long cinematics. The original plan for MGS4 was to shorten those, but as the story got bigger and bigger, and as we had to fill in more and more information -- because this really is the last story of Solid Snake -- the cutscenes are pretty much what you expect from a Metal Gear game now.

sounds like they already do agree in the abstract that it would be good to reduce the volume of cutscenes, they just weren't actually able to do it and still squeeze in all the story and info they wanted to include.

This ain't GAF.  Most people around here DO infact own a 360 AND a PS3.  If we want to play it, we can.  I don't give a shit about what system MGS is on, my hatred is founded on indisputable fact: MGS is distinguished mentally-challenged.  It's been proven time and time again in test laboratories all over the country.  Shit like this will rot your brain.

on the other hand, crazy ambitious story like MGS >>>>> uninteresting story like the Lord of the Rings movies.  ROTK got Oscars so I guess that does make MGS Oscar-worthy.
the LOTR movies are an amazing exercise in taking out everything that made the source material interesting and anally adhering to everything in the source material that doesn't matter.  truly a remarkable achievement :bow
So you're one of those distinguished fellows who wanted Tom Bombadil in the movie. Now I also get why you'd trash all over LOTR with MGS.

you wouldn't be playing MGS anyway, you'd be spending 15 hours waiting for the cutscenes to end.

Well, LOTR is tripe. But then so is MGS. So basically, MGS is LOTR.

Comparing MGS to LOTR...

Are some of you distinguished mentally-challenged or something?

Tripe is tripe

Tripe to who?

I don't know anybody that considers LOTR tripe. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean shit, heck, it probably just means your taste is not one to be trusted by others.

I think that we can all agree that MGS=LOTR movies in that just watching them is boring and mind-numbing, but laughing at the fans who think it's deep and epic is HE-larious.  It's something that you pay to make fun of.

What concerns me more is how they state the rest of the game fails to live up to the first part, much like RE:4.

what part of RE4 was anything less than fucking awesome?

RE:4 got better towards the end, what with the bigger and better weapons and the upgrading and the Red 9 and the bosses and even the graphics.

dcharlie, anything with 6 endings is tripe.
