    Default Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

    Well, it's out. Does TWC have any fans of the series?

    I'm a massive MGS fanboy and from what I've played this lives up to all of my expectations. Unfortunately others are using the big HDTV that I've got my PS3 hooked up to so I'm being forced to take a break.

    It is killing me.

    So uh, MGS4 thread is go!

    Yeah I'm a big MGS fan. Unfortunately I don't own a PS3, so I won't be getting this anytime soon.

    It was tough buying that 360 knowing that I wouldn't be getting FF/MGS...but I just couldn't shell out all that money for a PS3 so I could get 2 games that wouldn't even be out for months. DMC4 getting a 360 port closed the deal for me.

    The only game I'm intrested for the PS3, obviously it's not worth 400 euros.
    I'll wait untill someone uploads all the cutscenes as a video file and I'll get half of the experience.

    I would like to play it, but I'm not a big fan of the hours of cutscenes in all these games.

    And since it's about the only game on the PS3 I would want right now, it's not worth $460.

    I really, really, want this game. I'm a huge fan of the series and I've played since 1998 when MGS was released. Unfortunately, I don't have a PS3 as the 360 was a better deal seeing as there are only a couple of games I want that I can't get on the 360. But to all those who've never played the previous games, I'd recommend buying them and playing through them (can be done in a week or so if your dedicated) before playing MGS4.

    Alot.
    To even remotely understand what the hell is going on and who is who, you're going to have to play MGS and MGS2, otherwise you'll be totally lost.

    A lot. The Wiki articles actually have pretty good plot summaries and character descriptions.

    I aswell am a big fan and have played from MGS 1.
    @Captain Blackadder
    I suggest you play at least MGS 2 so you get a nice feel of the gameplay although MGS 1 is also very good.

    I just rented it yesterday. I'm kind of disappointed in the controls, and lack of control options. I mean, splinter cell feels so much more fluid, and both games are very similar in many respects.

    I'm glad I didn't buy it. I will play what I can for the next 5 days, and rent it again sometime to finish it, but the story isn't grabbing hold of me making me want to come back. I don't know how to put it into words, but I have trouble getting into games that have a decidedly Japanese feel to them. Kojima's fingerprints are all over this game, it just feels 'Japanese', too fantasy filled.

    I felt the same with Ninja Gaiden Sigma. I wanted a game where I felt like a ninja, like that game that came out years ago for PS2, and it ended up being a over the top fantasy filled Japanese production.

    I mean, I still love my WW2 shooters. Im a simple guy who likes my shooter hybrids to be as true to life as possible.


    Overall MGS4 raises the bar, and deserves the perfect and near perfect review scores it is getting, just not my cup of tea really.

    Its the first time on my PS3 Ive played a native 1080p game though. I'm playing on my new 46" Samsung 650 series through HDMI. Its the best LCD out, possibly the best TV period. The game looks amazing on this TV.

    I haven't gotten a Pstriple yet, but I am interested in buying MGS4 when I do. It's a bit dissapointing to hear just how much of the game is cutscenes (Someone playing it for 90 minutes had 60 minutes of cutscene, 30 minutes of gameplay I believe), but MGO looks fun.

    I'm going to be playing it tonight.

    As for the cutscenes, who cares? As long as I'm having fun, that's all that matters. MGS has always had lengthy cutscenes. For me, I'm going to be playing it with a HUGE bowl of popcorn tonight.
