Am I the only that finds MGS4 to be the weakest in the series? MGS 2,3 and 1 were so much better when it came to story and characters.

Aku101

They were good but not as good as MGS4. In mgs1 the faces were just a giant pixel.

This is how he judges MGS 1...........'nuff said. Thread is fail, MGS 4 is great, not even best in series, much less gen, history.

No offense to your opinion but to me and many , many others, The MGS series blows. Watching cornball cutscenes is not much of a video game.

i know i mean he might thinnk this game is a phenomenon but it all depends on what every person likes. for me rachet and clank and ninja gaiden sigma 2 are better than mgs4. im having more fun with those 2 games

Might take some time to get into for non-fans, but generally, MGS4 excels at Every Possible Department! Really, the gameplay is brilliant, as is the story, graphics and soundtrack.

Can't really ask for much more.No game will ever be universally considered the best by Everyone. But MGS4 certainly has left its mark to be considered among those.

lmao @ claims that nidget and aku are the same person. a bi-polar fan boy... that would be an interesting documentary. MGS4 is amazing imo. I wouldn't say it is the greatest, but 'greatest' is every one's own opinion.

Nice opinion. Complete and utter opinion though ok? Because if you're going to try and state it as fact then I'm afraid you can't be taken seriously.

And this is the best game in the history of mankind:

You just toss the ball, catch it in the cup, dump it out of the cup, toss it, and catch it in the cup again. The ball is on a string and attached to the cup, so theres no worry if you dont catch the ball in the cup. And clean up is as easy as catching a ball, in a cup. So why spend another day not catching a ball in a cup when you can be catching a ball-in-a-cup?

The gameplay, gaming at its finest.

MGS4 pioneers new gameplay emchanics never seen before. You can fully itneract with the environemnt and many factors affect your ability in combat as well as stealth. The many options you can do in CQC is amazing in variety.The stealth is pefect and the AI couldn't be done any better. The game is so incredibly realistic that MGS4 is the closest thing you can get into experience real-life stealth missions.

Uncharted beats it technically? Yeah, it better do that! Considering it was released 1 and 1/2 years later! As for gameplay and cinematics, Uncharted 2 isn't even close.

MGS4 isn't overrated, Halo 3 is, GTA4 s, GeoW is, even Uncharted 2 is overrated.

Let me be clear, MGS4 IS the sole reason I'm getting a PS3 this holiday, with God of War 3 and Uncharted 2 as side dishes. But I REALLY don't think it will top Ocarina of Time. I really doubt it.

why do i keep posting in Aku threads, knowing they are such obvious flame bait?

on topic, MGS4 was great, but i can think of many other titles i'd put ahead of it as my favorite game ever.

and the best game in the history of mankind is probably chess. you should know that Aku. remember that trophy you showed us?

Both Deus ex and Doom are FPS and in both you shoot monsters and mutated humans. Doom did it first. The locales that you visit in Deus Ex are also similar in doom.
