ok thats your opinion, and the person who reviewed it thought the game was great and scored it accordingly..... and i think it deserves a 10, its not made to be like call of duty where you run around like a headless chicken...This game was very well made BUT when you spend 75% of the time watching cut scenes , then this is more of a CGI movie than a game.

welcome to 6 months ago. and i can tell that u havent played the other games.munkeypoo45LOL indeed... u already missed that wagon man... And if you played any of the other games trust me you would be glued to the tv when those cut scenes were happening....
It ended a 20 year series 20 years....
It was a fans game... and a game where to truly see the value in it you would have had to play the other games....
So as far as fans of the series it is a 10....
But that is ur opinion....
I wonder what game do you think is better than it though? I am just curious.
Yeah it is called an opinion the person who reviewed it felt it deserved it. And I disagree with your CGI movie quality score.Star650
I..Agree.

What game is better ? I dont know that any game deserves a "10" but I still think the original Halo is as close to a "10" as you can get.
Well, a 10 doesn't mean that it's an absolutely perfect game; instead, it means that nothing could have been added to make it better. Get it???This game was very well made BUT when you spend 75% of the time watching cut scenes , then this is more of a CGI movie than a game.

More actual gameplay could have been added. I think any honest person will admit this. Hence, its not a perfect 10.

Lol... Halo huh... i am not surprised... but anyway I was not saying that MGS4 was a perfect game... all I was saying is since you do not feel it is worthy of the score or basically a good game at all really as your opinion seems to state... What games do you think are better than MGS4?And your Answer was Halo...
Really Halo.........
I loved Halo as much as the next person.... but you know what I got that same feeling from halo that I got from Goldeneye, Perfect dark, Battlefield, COD4, etc
Do you know why?
Cause it is the same type of game just with different graphics. The reason most people like those games(including me) is because you can have great times playing with your friends.
The reason I put MGS4 so high in the bar is because the single player is just that a SINGLE player and I thought that was worth the $60 in itself, but then the online just was a bonus. If it was not for the online I may have scored it a 9.5 but with it I had to give it a 10....
But if you feel Halo's single player had more depth than MGS4... then sir all I can say is we just have totally different tastes, but niether of us are right nor wrong.

Wow i'm not even going to defend MGS4 on this, Snake has already pwned you. Look under your christmas tree. See the present labeled with your name? That's not the gift your expecting. It's snake in a box, just thought i'd warn you.

[QUOTE="TheWartongue"]there is no such thing as a perfect game.....all games have flawsMusashiSensi
Exactly.
Wrong MGS4 has none...haha :lol: And I think games rated 10 on GS aren't perfect they're prime. They're very rare and only games that are truely in every aspect amazing get 10's.

I did the Big Boss emblem and I must say it took me a long time to get it done. True... My so called game time was under 5 hours but my actual game play time was extremely long... I mean long. It took me like a whole day on the bike chase alone.
I mean it is just like those people who do speed runs in those old mario games... Sure you could beat Mario in less than an hour, but we all know that Mario took a long time for alot of people to beat.
....
I wouldn't have gave MGS4 a 10, maybe a 9.5 because online isn't great (in my opinion)
But this game is about as awesome as you can get, awesome graphics, awesome story, awesome cut-scenes and judging by the GOTY voting, many people agree
Let me ask you one thing. Have you even played any of the other MGS games?? B/C it seems to me you clearly haven't otherwise your scores would be much higherThis game was very well made BUT when you spend 75% of the time watching cut scenes , then this is more of a CGI movie than a game.

this is afact when , goldeneye was released it got a 9.8 what was wrong i dont know that was a perfect game,
but lately , i dont trust reviews,
they tell you the game is bad when you play or rent the game youll most of the time find it good,
mariokart 64 , example a . 6.5 i dont think so , it gave the series a boast,
or animal crossing city folk this is what game informer had to say,
animal crossing was a bland interactive game when you compare it to gta iv,
that alone, this is why game informer , is not the best reviewer gamespot or ign isnt perfect either nor is metacritic
none of them are
timesplitters future perfect was rated an 8.0 on gamespot for xbox and ps2, 7.6 on gamecube what justifies the drop , online wasnt as big back thn and it was essentailly the same game , so why did it get reviewed differently,
heck i think all wii games are poorly rated, they always like to compare it to 360 and ps3 games, thats their number one mistake, and every one knew wii wasnt as powerful as 360 and ps3,
or they sit there rate a 360 game higher then a ps3 or wii game, of the same name , thats another good argumant, this raises tough questions which do you trust,
me i dont trust no one to tell me what to buy i buy based on my past expeirences
dsome times i can get ripped off oif course like pd0 , i wasnt thinking it be that bad, thats by the way one of the most overrated games on 360 ,

What he said is not a fact or truth it is just his opinion of what the game feels to him.

Actually no this was my first Metal Gear Solid game....but the review should be based on each game alone, not compared to older versions. THe bottom line is Metal Gear failed to deliver. I bought this game because it was rated "10" but paying $60 for a Blu Ray Movie just wasnt worth it IMO
So you beat the all the gameplay segments in 2 hours? I don't think so. Thats the only way 75% of it would be cutscenes. And the cutscenes aren't CGI, their in-game engine. Talk about the actual Gameplay mechanics what you will, and you don't really elaborate on your 7.5 but I guess you didn't like the gameplay, fine its not your cup of tea, there's enough people who aren't stealth fans. But the fact that your rating the quality of the cutscenes is just dumb.This game was very well made BUT when you spend 75% of the time watching cut scenes , then this is more of a CGI movie than a game.

Ah I see, so unless Ive played Resistance 1, I cant play Resistance 2. Unless Ive played Halo 1, I cant play Halo 3.
You are wrong. Each game is rated by itself , not in conjuction with all the games in the series.
The bottom line is that we got swindled into buying a MOVIE and not a GAME. Its like going and buying Hellboy 2 and then having a free mini-game on the side where you can control HellBoy and do some stuff. MGS4 should have been released at the THEATRE and not on PS3.

"You are wrong"? Are you kidding people? Each dude has his right to an opinion. You have the right not to like MGS 4. It's okay with me, I don't care. You can like it, I don't care either. Please, just stop stating opinions as facts...Im saying its wrong to say that you must play all the games in the series (1,2,3) in order to judge part 4. Its like going to watch Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull and not liking it , then someone telling you "you cant know if you like it unless you watch ALL the indiana jones movies first !!!"
wow people are still on this? seriously get a life, its just a review, a little number, it doesn't mean that much.paperdollparade
I trusted GameSpot to give an accurate review.....and they said "Perfect 10!!" So I bought the movie(game)
From now on , I will subtract 2 points from every GameSpot review. So if they say "10" , its really an "8" (at best)
I agree its more movie than game, but it's going to be GOTY here on GS.
one_on_one
Just follow my new Review System....Subtract 2 points from GameSpots review and then you will know the true score
So actually Metal Gear Solid 4 scored an 8 ........Does this make sense ?
