Metal Gear Solid 4 has the most epic video game moments (SPOILERS)

Heh... Good idea :D Must be annoying that there's no way to skip the chapter installs though huh? ;)

I will never forget the egg scene!! ROFL!

[QUOTE="Swift_Boss_A"]Games in the future that may dethrone MGS4 in my opinion are God Of War 3 and The Last Guardian.metalgear-solid

I think god of war has a epicness history and several epic moments like some battles with the gods, and some dramatic moments like when Hares de god of war controls the mind of Kratos and makes him kill his own wife and daughter, and when kratos is burnig their bodies the ashes merge themselves in their own skin (the cause of his white skin and the name of the ghost of sparta). I think he have a good reason for so much brutality and violence against the gods lol, I mean they not even left him suicide, with this all is clear that he wants to decapitate any god responsible for that.

But I agree that MGS4 as many epic moments.

Ive been a fan since MGS1 and Ill say this. 4 was just huge fan-service which seems great at first but when you step back and look at it from a nonbias viewpoint its actually kind of a weak story. All the plotholes were filled, but they were ALL filled with nanomachines, Kojimas explanation for everything. I liked the mystery behind vamp, seeing MGS4 spend 20 minutes trying to convince us that his lame backstory actually makes sense is quite amusing but for all the wrong reasons. And Raidens "death" loses any impact as he just randomly comes back afew minutes later with no explanation whatsoever other then "Im a ninja". And the worst part of the game was the ending, and as cool as it was to see Big Boss, his "revalations" will go down as one of the most epic cop outs in video game history

very big MGS fan. i loved the game, hated the ending. the cutscenes in the game seemed to lack punch and were too drawn out. and dont get me started on that wedding....

MGS4 is all epic for long time fans. Since 1987, the plot for the series continued to grow leaving many unanswered questions. MGS4 for some was to drawn out and not to memorable. For fans of the series, it was a satisfying end because after so many discussions and theories we finally got the answers we were looking for. For example, the microwave scene was memorable to me because I know the pains and sacrifices Snake made since the series began. People who chose MGS4 as their first MGS will not feel the same for some moments of MGS4 as long time fans. Another example, the final boss fight was memorable to me because i knew the long history behind it. MGS4 was pure fan service which is why some review sites gave it a lower score. liquidsnake1987

[QUOTE="liquidsnake1987"][QUOTE="h575309"] fighting ocelot was cool but i wish they wouldve stuck with classic mgs gunplay instead of some random fighting mechanic thrown in at the end.xgamer40

I started a run for the BBE a few days ago. I'm at the bike chase and its wicked difficult. It's a whole different ball game going for no alerts/kills/continues and recovery items.

'twas corny.

[QUOTE="daveg1"]yes they were great but echo through gaming history lol..nVidiaGaMer

Yes but so do all the other 3 MGS games. Psycho Mantis from MGS, then Vamp in MGS 2, and my personal favorite The End in MGS 3 it was an hour long sniper boss battle which was more epic then shooting aliens in Crysis lol.

I would have to agree that The End in MGS 3 was one of the coolest boss battles in video games. I have never been much of a fan of the MGS boss battles, but this one really stands out among the others in the series, andvideo games in general.

[QUOTE="xgamer40"][QUOTE="liquidsnake1987"]imo i dont think it would of been as memorable as the fist fight, there was a lot of history behind those punches which felt satisfying when i was pounding away at ocelotliquidsnake1987

[QUOTE="nc_soldier"][QUOTE="Andrewlee"]Yes, the scene at the end of act 3 was mindblowing, but it's a pity it was not in-engine (if it was it would mean that PS3 is reaaally powerful).Sneaky_Gopher
