So I'm playing MGS4 for the first time, and I just completed Act 2

the bot automatically posts that in every thread where op contains the words : How/did/this/game/get/metacritic

>I'm watching the cutscenes, and honestly, it's all a bunch of nonsense.

They are bizarre, its Kojima. They arent incomprehensible unless you never played any of the other games.

I played MGS2 + 3 when I was younger, and I don't remember them being this stupid.

you don't even need to play all the other games. mgs 1 is pretty much enough

Kojima didn't want to make MGS4 and it shows.

Hype.

I played it a year after release after reading nothing about the game, and was severely disappointed. It's more of a fanservice movie than it is a game. Roughly 70% of cutscenes could also have been gameplay.

also why is otacon such a goddamn faggot? what a snivelling retard. that bitch was practically begging him to fuck her in the mission briefing.

Otacon has the dick of death.

The brand. Between mgs basically being the face of cinematic games. Also, Kojima is basically a rockstar in vidya at this point where nobody is gonna admit how average some of his works are until way in the future.

Replay them sometime, they're no less ridiculous

Play them now. I don't think they are stupid, but they are over-the-top, they always have been. If you "don't remember" then refresh your memory. Did you not play the first one? Is there a particular reason you skipped that one?

What it seems like is either you just don't have any real grasp of MGS and you're trying to involve yourself in what is chronologically the last game, or you just don't like them and you started a thread to be a douche.

This was further proven when V was released to glowing praise despite being an undercooked piece of shit

I would definitely say there's a quality drop in 4 that isn't seen in the previous 3. People like to use schlocky japanese weirdness as a shield for that game, but 4 borders on fan fiction with it's narrative, it's characters, and with how it tries to cram absolutely everything possible into one neat little bow, it genuinely feels like a caricature of itself.

It's worse than 1-3, but it's still fantastic overall. Probably equal to or better than PW, with V waaaaay in last place

if I found even a small amount of something redeemable in this game, I'd mention it. so far there's nothing. I'm not trying to be a douche. it's my honest opinion.

Agreed, if you go back to day 1 reviews of mgs v, you can clearly see people doing verbal gymnastics trying to avoid saying how hollow the game feels, and lets not even get started on the blatant konami reviewing "bootcamp" that nobody thought was strange.

Literally everyone has the same opinion of MGSV.

Some of the best stealth gameplay in the industry, but the game clearly wasnt finished. Stop making up some narrative about it to upset yourselves so you can shitpost.

That was, arguably, because Fukushima left.

If you don't even like the gameplay itself, which is fantastic, then you simply don't like MGS and there isn't much else to say.

based, if MGS4 were a Nintendo exclusive, ResetEra would cry about their little Nintendo Bonus™. Truth is that big names always get inflated scores, regardless of the series/system. So it's more like a AAA game Bonus

but I liked MGS 2 + 3. I enjoyed it for its stealth, and the intrigue behind the patriots. it was interesting.

Why are you being so dogmatic about it? The gameplay in that game isn't even utilized well, it forces you into a shitty TPS shootout like 30 mins into the game, then an on rails shootout again in the next act, which are generally considered the peak point of quality in that game, then becomes a shitty follower quest with a slightly less shitty on rails shooter followed by a mediocre bossfight. There's so little well utilized gameplay in 4 I don't even get why you feel like you're able to say that to him

>metacritic
Why are you using a fucking aggregate to form an opinion on something when you know how garbage they are? Especially when users can fuck the scale? Also git gud, the game has some great use of technology and gameplay that sadly gets tossed to the wayside for linear bullshit.

Right? It should of been 10/10 like BASEDinformers review!

4 is like 15 times better than 5. don't bother fighting me, gonna go to sleep bye.

what kind of technology and gameplay?

Because is a great end for one of the best series ever . Of course this board is full of contrarian faggots and will say is shit for the (you)'s .

All these years later and I still remember the IGN video review saying something along the lines of "if the scale is a 10 out of 10, MGS4 turns it up to 11."

I still love the game. It's second only to MGS3.

Because people are retarded and critics are shills. Guaranteed people will give Death Stranding 9s and 10s even if it's as shitty as MGS4. All that matters is the cutscenes being good. Because people are fucking idiots

>I don't even get why you feel like you're able to say that
Because he sucks Kojima dick

It's the second best after mgs2 and fuck braindead anti nanomachine retards they are the most important part of mgs story since Foxdie nanomachine are the natural evolution of metal gear since metalgear are worthless

The only thing I dislike are the loading times. Every other crazy bat shit aspect of it I absolutely adore

They added a patch waaaay late that installed all the parts so you didn't have to load the last half of the section when you reach halfway, and don't have to load the first half when you restart a new game. Not like it mattered when MGSV came out already.

there's rarely any protracted loading times. other than when you start the game, that is. I had to sit down through infomercials. another wtf moment.
