Does anyone else feel like the more they play MGS4...

The more you can see right through it?

I know this could besaid about any game after you replay it many times, but even though MGS4 is a great game, many of the things in the story and gameplay lost their appeal by the second or third playthrough.

The enemy patterns are extremely easy to remember when they are not spawning out of places that are fully engraved in your mind. the boss fights become even more stale and the story lost its meaning rather quickly.

And it makes sense, I played the goddamn game like 5-7 times and I have put in it more than a houndred hours and did everything that could have been done.

But I have played the olderones of the series just as much and I never felt this way.

I think this is because this game heavily relies on smoke and mirrors to make the game seem much better, but after a while, you can see right through them.

And so the truth comes out..

Well it can be said with most games, few manage to give you a unique experience every time you play.

No game is ever gonna feel fresh if you constantly play it, eventually you will get bored. Ive played MGS4 enough times to know everything about the game but still every time I get to Act 4 I always feel nostalgic and that feeling never gets old for me. Maybe you should give MGS4 a rest for a few months then get back to it.

Flame-fest in the making!!! lol...I'm gonna make my comment and get out quick!!! There is no smoke and mirrors with MGS4, it's just that the gameplay has SLIGHTLY improved over the years...and that's the problem...nobody wants to come out and say it. I guess Kojima figured if it's not broke don't mess with it until there's a big out cry from the fans. I think now though they do want to go in another direction, and that's where MG rising comes in but we will just have to wait and see.

You know, thinking about it, TC's right... but this is Kojima just doing what creators do best: illusions.

Artists always make the best liars, as lying is their passion.

I dunno I feel MGS4 is as good and memorable if not more so then MGS2 and MGS3. MGS1 still being my fav. Well as fans we tend to have higher expections to the point where they are usually never met. Maybe you shouldnt expect MGS4 to be the best game ever but a great edition to the MGS series and for me it's a great finale for Solid Snake.

You know, now that you bring it up, Super Mario Bro's had the same problem my 10th time through. The plot wasn't deep at all when you think about it, the game play wasn't that much better than Mario 3. It was all a lot better the first time through but with repetition, it became almost boring.

Game's will continue to lose their shine the more you play it. Some games are meant to be played through a few times, but not forever. When a game becomes predictable and loses its challenge, it just doesn't seem as cool, but its not the game's fault. Even multiplayer games do this. All games do. Don't blame the game, its an expected reaction over time. Its why we have more than 1 game to play :)
