After The Fact: Reviews Revisited

Update: New online mode
Posted: May 10, 2009 9:38 pm PT
On 1/27/09, Konami added a new, free mode to Metal Gear Online called Bomb Mission. In this mode, the offensive team attempts to detonate a bomb at a targeted location, while the defending team must protect its stronghold and prevent bombs from exploding.

    well just a few days ago, i finally decided to get off my lazy but and get MGS4, because i was bored and i heard from my friends how "awesome" it was...and i never really played any MGS game before...well...except for the first one but i only finished part of it. Oh boy was i surprised....because after 2 days of non-stop play, my mind just freakin blew. And now i won't complain about Raiden being the main character in MGS:Rising seeing how sissy he was in MGS2(i played only to the part where you have to "freeze" all of those explosives then quit cuz it was kinda tedious)

    yea, i played online and got owned all the time lol. MGO is best if your good at it, otherwise its best to stick with the single-player, which always has something else to do even after you have beat it for the 10th time.

    I have played MGO for more or less every day since it's launch and I just had to get rid of it not because it was crap oh no, it was because I hadn't played another single game since it's release. MGS4 is most likely the best game of this decade, and I know that not many will agree with me but MGO is in my opinion the best online game ever made, and if you say no please play it for a month first, becuase you will get own like hell if you've never played MGO before and most likely say "crappy game".

    This game is absolutely incredible, and it shows how powerful the PS3 really is. It looks and sounds amazing. This game could never be on the Xbox 360, period. This is the second game that I feel deserves a perfect 10. It's an incredible game that doesn't get old even after the first play.

    @bencarps41192

    you don't have to. I'd recommend you do though. Or at least read up on the last three, otherwise you will be kinda lost.

    Do i need to have played all the first 3 to get the story. Ive played 1 and that it.

  • namelessfire

    Posted Nov 20, 2009 4:57 pm PT

    Although I feel that Uncharted 2 integrates story and gameplay better, the overall story of Metal Gear Solid 4 is better. It's deeper, more complex, and more original. Although I wished there was a better cover system like Uncharted 2 had, this game is still stunning and a must play. It's a game that not only tops its predecessors in every single way, but also make you love them even more. Truly a 10 out of 10, no doubt about it.

    @ segaman12

    It has almost everything from 3, but it makes it a lot easier to get out of fire fights if you get caught.

    i've never played another game with so much replayability. I've finished it at least 4 times and haven't uncovered all of it.

  • EpicSombero

    Posted Oct 27, 2009 2:36 am PT

    I believe they are :O

    Lol And i have Crysis

    But then, Uncharted 2 blows both of them out of the water

  • Arach666

    Posted Oct 26, 2009 5:16 pm PT

    I find it amusing when he speaks that MGS4 graphics are the best ever....
    ...he certainly never played PC games such as Crysis,a 2007 game that visualy humbles this one.

  • ShootumUP26

    this game is a reason to buy the new ps3 slim ive been a long time fan and this game was just excellent

  • darrenfps

    Posted Oct 24, 2009 9:48 am PT

    I've been gaming for some 30 years now, and I rarely ever play through a game more than once. However, with regards to MGS4, I'm on my fourth playthrough and may even go for a fifth. This entire series may be the best I'll ever see in my lifetime. If you've yet to play this game, please give it a shot. I promise you won't regret it.

    I finished this game for the first time last night, brilliant. Why does Hal have to cry all the time though, is there some symbolic reference that justifies his near constant waterworks in Guns of the Patriots and Sons of Liberty or is he just a big blouse?

  • InN3rChi011

    Posted Oct 16, 2009 11:12 pm PT

    i would say all 4 is good but with mgs1 u can imagine playing a ps1 game with outdated controls, graphics, etc

  • djtrauma

    Posted Oct 16, 2009 4:28 pm PT

    This helps firm up my decision to finally get a PS3. I see this game everywhere for $25 CDN, too (used, of course). Would people say MGS3 is as good as the others, including 4?

    The graphics on this game are mind-blowing. It's just sick how far we've come in the past 10 years.

    troydtroy, wtf!!!!!! this game has amazing graphics you stupid 360 fanboy!!!!! nearly all reviewers gave this game a 10/10 in the graphics department, and this game destroys any game on the 360 graphically, so go look at gears of war or something

  • thetravman

    Posted Sep 26, 2009 10:34 pm PT

    I wouldn't say 10, because the gameplay isn't perfect (however everything else is).
