Whiny topic about MGS4 (plenty of MGS spoilers)

[brunoafh]

The difference between Lucas and Kojima is that Kojima is still capable of making great things. Just look at Peace Walker.

I honestly had a lot of trouble getting into Peace Walker. The characters felt really boring to me, the story wasn't presented very well in my opinion, worst boss fights in MGS history, and the way it was designed (having a level system and all that) just didn't resonate with me at all. It was a fun game but I don't even think I made it halfway.

MGS 4 on the other hand I absolutely loved and have beaten it probably half a dozen times.

To each his own. They're both excellent games.

you know, since Ocelot was ALWAYS Liquid in MGS4, that meant you never got to see any of the real gun twirling Ocelot. Always disappointed me.

That's a good point, which I forgot to mention. That one disappointed me even the first time around.

I'm in the middle of playing mgs4 right now but I have a complaint...

Just because there is a woman in a scene, is it absolutely necessary to have the camera pointed directly at her breasts or rear-end (or both!)?

And what's with the women having their whole shirt flung open? Aren't they cold?

Yeah, they're sex symbols. I get it. But... why? It isn't necessary. It adds nothing to the story.

Haha! Good point.

I know you'll find scenes like that in just about every mgs game but in 4 it just seems way overdone.

Speaking of gunplay, Ocelot fascinated the hell out of me in MGS3. I love how he juggles the 3 guns. So awesome.

If there's something that's overdone in MGS4 it's the cutscenes, the ending lasts over 45 minutes.

MGS4 was a fucking mess. The story is a cluster fuck of trans-humanism, globalization, counter insurgency/asymetric warfare, and advanced biometrics. All of this is crammed in so half-assedly that I honestly think the producers skimmed over each topics Wiki page and then shat out a script.

I just pretend MGS4 doesn't exist and remain thankful that Peace Walker turned out so well.

I have to say some of you guys act like MGS2 wasn't obscenely messy itself. The ending has to be 45 minutes or so there as well and it's just absolutely hilarious how over the top and silly it gets. What? No way! THE LA LI LU LE LO!?!?

The whole franchise has been hilariously ridiculous, I guess MGS4 took it up a few notches, but yeah didn't bother me too much.
