Wtf is this shit 8 minute cutscene 

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

You think 8 minutes is bad? Never play MGS4, man. Don't do it. It will kill you.

Are these interactive cutscenes too Raban? Like in Mass Effect where you can choose what you say etc?

Nope. You can press a button and going into first-person view mid-cutscene though. That's about it.

Oh yeah, or, when you press the button, you have acid flashbacks.

[The Fake Shemp]

It's a Japanese game, what do you think?

[Raban]

Jesus Christ that sounds horrible and not like a game at all. Well I guess the plot is very good then at least?

The plot is so bad, I can't even begin to explain it. Let me just put it this way: It's worse than every post-VII Final Fantasy smashed together in some mega-shitfest.

[Powerslave]

they should have never made Snake so old. I don't even see him as Solid Snake in MGS4, just some old 'Snake' in an alternate universe or some shit.

[TripleA]

The best game of 2008 and possibly this generation has sold 5 million copies, no surprise here tbh.

The first half of MGS4 was brilliant, then it took a serious nose dive.

Gameplay wise I agree with you. The first two acts are really fun. But the story was ass from start to finish.

I love how Kojima kept saying that this game had less cinematics and would have more in-game stuff, and proceeds to have more than any other game in the series, and on top of that, 20 minutes breaks in between acts waiting for the game to install.

What a shit game.

Are you shitting me? This sounds like a total disaster.

No joke. There are five acts, in between each one there's like 10-20 minutes of loading so that it can install on your HDD. One of the acts is like 70% cutscenes, and you bet your ass the loading times before and after are long as hell.

[TEEEPO]

terrible.

It's all wapanese shittiness to me.

And I don't need to troll MGS4's story, it trolls itself. I'm pretty sure Kojima doesn't really give a fuck about that series anymore, as he tried really hard to drive it straight into the ground with 4. Not that it was flying high in the first place.

You think five million people bought MGS4? Most people bought it twice. I guarantee it.

I wonder if they include pack-ins.

[BobFromPikeCreek]

A distinguished mentally-challenged fellow I know bought the game the day it came out and he still doesn't own a PS3. Smh Kojima manbabies.

[WrikaWrek]

Baby jesus cryin, this is not what he died fo

[Jansen]

what a shit "game". kojipro obviously had no idea what direction they wanted to take the game in so they just slapped a bunch of fanfic together and called it a day because they knew MGStards would eat that shit up no matter how bad it was. and they were obviously right!

Those are bought by Sony,Konami doesn't care.5 million sold to people would mean that Europe has bought 3 million.
MGS is loved in Europe,but not that loved

This is the one that has the 90 minute cutscene right?

PLEASE God, let Kojima write and direct a MGS movie. I seriously think it will be the unintentional comedy event of , well, the forever.

Tommy Wiseau and Kojima should collaborate.  YOU'RE TEARING ME APART LIQUID!   Oh hey Otacon...


also, this "game" is biggest letdown of the gen and it would be hard for any big name sequel (if there are any left to make) to top it.  They fucked this game up in so many ways and I'm not just talking about cutscenes, even though those are AIDS to anyone with a bit of taste.

you managed to be wrong about everything you just said

[Raban]

goddamn mobile version of EB. Ignore that last post

[Don Flamenco]

preserved to show off Raban's secret love affair with MGS4

[Raban]

Nooooo!

[Diunx]

Nooooo!

Don't be ashamed for secretly having good taste dude.

[Raban]

this is like a bad dream

[fistfulofmetal]

its not perfect. i understand why people don't like it. it's not the best game of the generation. not the best MGS game either. but i love it. good to see it selling well.

Don't hate on Dairy Queen.  Blizzards.

[pilonv1]

MGS4 is for dumb people.

"I'm not dumb, I understand the economies of war! I learned it from Kojima-san!"

[Diunx]

You're right. I saw some distinguished mentally-challenged fellow with a Naruto headband when I drove by a Dairy Queen once. Diunx, that wasn't you was it? You do like MGS4, taste isn't your strong suit...

We don't have Dairy Queen over here and I hate naruto.

[duckman2000]

This is sort of sad. Not that the system has been crippled from the weight of its shining star exclusives, and there have been very few sequels to PS2 franchises, but comparing just the opening month numbers of other, good, exclusives to this one, the common PS3 owner should be ashamed.

[Raban]

I was responding to Diunx's post about what he thinks are the best parts of MGS4. He was wrong on every count.

Btw, I have my pants on

[Himu]

It takes a lot to offend me.

But MGS4 managed to do it.

Fuck you, Kojima.

I dunno, I stopped hyping Kojima after MGS2. The shit was tired then, it's dead, now.

Wait a tic, how do I get the mobile version of evilbore

[Raban]

Wait a tic, how do I get the mobile version of evilbore

Access it on a mobile phone? It's horrible, really. I think it shows like five posts per page, and none of the formatting is there. Maybe it's only on my Nokia, but yeah, it's fucking horrible.

[Third]

Bought this game during launch for €60.
And I still haven't played (watched) it for more than 10 minutes. 

I think I should start playing this soon, since I loved MGS 1,2 and 3.

[Positive Touch]

too bad 4 is a million times shittier than the first three

[Raban]

too bad 4 is a million times shittier than the first three

I'd say it's five million times shittier.

[tiesto]

DQ is for fat weebos.

At least DQ games have gameplay for longer than the first 2 hours of the game. And don't force 11 minute installs on you. MGS4 started off great, but by the 3rd act (where you were stalking that guy) it just got stale. Too much in the way of cinematics and loading.

I thought the Snatcher homage was pretty badass, but at that point I decided the game was the worst ever, and that Act did nothing to save it.

I think that should give you good reason NOT to play/watch MGS4.

I admit to not being a big MGS fan (though I did have a huge hard on for the first one) but after going back and replaying 2 and 3, I gotta admit they are kind of fun....as long as you ignore the idiotic plot.  But MGS4 is pure unadulterated crap with no redeeming value whatsoever.  Acts 1 and 2 (the ones with actual gameplay in it) are average at best and the rest of the game is the equivalent of watching a DVD that you occasionally have to interact with.  Act 4 is a nice fan service to those that liked the first MGS but who fucking cares.  Nothing really happens.

90 minute cut scene.  Not 90 minutes of cut scenes, but a 90 minute cut scene.  I think that's all that needs to be said for MGS4.

5 million people can be wrong.  Very wrong.

[Raban]

I played through MGS4 skipping all the cinematics and it took me 5 hours.
