[QUOTE="wasted_wisdom"][QUOTE="louisfoxton"] That not true MGS4 deserve a 10.0 the game was funny and fun

Master_ShakeXXX

You're all ignoring the fact that every reviewer highlighted how well polished and detailed mgs4 was. The game defines 10.00/10.00. The game stretched anything we've ever seen in a game and as if comparing it to smg wasn't already an insult enough you're trying to say it's inferior? Yeah, you're done.

This. MGS4 is perfect, and it's in the top 5 greatest games of all time.

SMG2 is in the top 3...

SMG2 is the apex of modern gaming. MGS3 is way better than MGS4 and deserves that 10 more.

I don't particularly enjoy 3D Mario games, so I find Metal Gear Solid 4 vastly superior.

for me. SMG2. the reason is because you don't have to have played any other games to get full enjoyment from it. all the talk in mgs4 makes very little sense if you haven't kept up with the series.

SMG2. To me, it didn't deserve the 10, but it was still a better game than MGS4.

Both games aren't best games of the year, and both games have nothing to do with each other.

That being said... GTA: San Andreas

Think about it SMG2 and MGS4 are the best games this gen.Which one do u think u had the most fun with. Which You think is better they both got 10.0.

louisfoxton

Apple vs oranges!!! SMG2 vs MGS4....... Totally different taste , totally different genre.

Melon vs Melon !!! 10 vs 10 ... Same score...

To compare a different genre, whos better etc or same score... whos better!!??? Whoever answer to this must be hater/fan to one or the other Or like better platform over action/stealth or vice versa...

Period since both are 10s and both are so different. Thats all .. So which is better?!! lol..Im out

While I like MGS4, I would anyday prefer Mass Effect 2 or Uncharted 2 over it. Out of the two you mentioned, I think SMG2 is better.

MGS4 is the god of video games. Any game that wants to be considered great must first ask MGS4 to show it mercy and take the time to judge said game. If MGS4 decides the game is worthy of a 10, it gets a 10. That's how SMG2 got a 10, by praying to MGS4.

Poor taste. GTAIV was lammeeee. nothing like driving ur gf around as a mission. There is nothing to do in GTA4 in between missions. Nothing. RDR beats that with side missions being better than GTAIV's main missions.

I haven't played SMG2 but I'm sure I would enjoy it far more, I've always enjoyed mario games. MGS4 was the second MGS game I've played, first being TTS and for me not much has changed. The story was decent, although it didn't pull me in but as soon as you could control snake once again I found it to be very much an average game.

To be honest, I have to say that Super Mario Galaxy 2 offers the most that matters in a game, and it's fun. I don't care about Koopas being conscripted into Bowser's army or Toads protesting about their wages, I just want to play the game and have fun. What Super Mario Galaxy 2 does is immerse the player in the level design, tight control, great music, and surprises here and there. That game I've had the most fun in a long time.

[QUOTE="louisfoxton"]

[QUOTE="hyper_trunkx"]loved mgs4. havent played smg2...dont care to.wasted_wisdom

Why would u come to this thread if u havent played both.

Because anything that has to do with mario repels gamers like me. If I was to setup two stations at a party and have the wii mario galaxy and another booth with mgs4, the boys will crowd aroung mgs4 and the girls will be immediately drawn to the rainbow colors and cuteness of smg. So honestly all I see is mario this mario that. All I see is "characters without arms." I'm sorry but you keep your mushroom addict and I'll keep my cigarette addict.

So, you're problem with Mario is that it appeals more to females? I'm a 24 year old male and I enjoy Mario Sonic, and Kirby games just as much as I enjoy MGS, Resident Evil and other mature rated franchises. Why is it always an obbession for some people to attack games just because the themes aren't "mature" enough?

For me, its about how fun a game is. I could care less if there is blood spraying all the screen or the character is a cute little blob that eats up enemies to steal their powers.

If a game is fun, that's all that matters. That's why I never understand the people who willingly cut themselves out of fun experiences just because a game may not be "mature" or fails to deliver an overblown hollywood-level storyline.


What happened to playing a video game for the sake of having fun?

So hard to pick a best game this gen... Well, the best shooter is hands down, Killzone 2, IMO.

But best game in general... Agh. Maybe Red Dead Redemption... Uncharted 2, or GTA IV... I dunno. Forza Motorsport 3 is too overlooked, too. That game is face-melting.

LittleBigPlanet is a tremendous contender as well.

I've played both and I've found SMG2 to have better gameplay, level design, and more entertainment, while MGS4 has a better story, more memorable characters, and probably better boss fights. But the two games are so different and it's unfair to compare them just because they both got a 10 this gen. It's like comparing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 to GTAIV. Overall I think SMG2 is a better game because I just had more fun with it. Time and time again I'll be replaying it consistently. Somehow, I can't see someone replaying MGS4 over and over again. SMG2 just has that "fun" factor, and it manages to keep it each time you play the game, even if you're playing the same level. This is just me, of course. Having enjoyed both games.

This. MGS4 is perfect, and it's in the top 5 greatest games of all time.

By whose standard? Yours? Fanboys? Gamerankings lists SMG2 as the third-highest rated game of all time, below SMG1 and OoT. MGS4 isn't even on the first page of highest-rated games, and its predecessors (MGS2/MGS1) rank higher than it. Of course, this is by average critical score. This has nothing to do with your own opinion. But it really frustrates me when fanboys attempt to pass off their opinion as fact.

Both games are amazing but I'd say MGS4 is the better game. Uncharted 2 is the best game this gen IMO though.

SMG2 may be fun, but MGS4 is so much more than simply being fun. It left me in total awe and amazement. It's an experience that you live, and the first time can never be topped. It's like watching a show like The Wire for the first time, or The Godfather. It just leaves you speechless and in a vegetative state from witnessing something so god-like. That's what MGS4 is. A masterpiece of art in every true sense of the word.

And SMG 2 isn't? Listen, I bought a PS3 pretty much for MGs 4 and I loved it very much. One of the best games of the generation. But the greatness of SMG 2 and the brilliant simplicity of its design outweighs MGS 4 in my opinion. SMG 2 is truly perfect.

Well if that works for you, awesome, but I gotta have both an amazing story AND amazing gameplay to declare a game a true masterpiece (with the exception of Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime). Not only were both of those departments perfect in MGS4, but they were alsopefectly intertwined into one magical gaming experience. That's something that, in my opinion, no other game has achieved yet.

Most consider The Wire to be the greatest tv show of all time. Most consider TheGodfather to be the greatestfilm of all time. Most considerthe Mona Lisato be the greatest painting of all time. And I wholeheartedly believe that with time, MGS4 will join those masterpieces as the greatest form of art in it's respective category.
