Binge Gamer's James Walker spent the past weekend playing Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots for the PlayStation 3. Outside of a few minor gripes about the game's "convoluted" plot and "overly long-winded" cutscenes, there isn't a single complaint to be made about the game.
"All in all, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is easily the best game in the long-running Metal Gear franchise, the best game on the PS3 and, one could argue, the best game of this decade. Of course, you don't need me to tell you that."
The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.
Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱
An article looking at the symbolic meaning behind the cigarettes in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Game creator Hideo Kojima is and probably will always be best-known for his creation and stewardship of the Metal Gear series at Konami, which since his departure has been more-or-less on permanent hiatus (don't mention Survive). In his almost three decades these games evolved to the point where they predicted certain problems of the information age (MGS 2), took aim at contemporary topics like Guantanamo Bay (MGS: Ground Zeroes), and ended on a profound sense of sadness about our species' inability to break the cycles of global conflict (MGS V).
It's not clear what sparked this reflection, but Kojima's been thinking about Metal Gear Solid 4, an entry that was (and unfortunately still remains) a PlayStation 3 exclusive. In that entry the player controls an aged Solid Snake in the year 2014, caught up in a civil war being fought between Private Military Companies (PMCs).
He was always ahead with this series. MSG1 taught me about the importance of passing on our genes into future generations but in a responsible way, for they are bound to what we experienced in our lifetime. Sons of liberty taught me about global control and simulation runs to test society in a grand scale, the importance and dangers of control of information. MGS3 taught me about patriotism and how that can blind you into doing things you never would have otherwise, all for the sake of politicians who only see you as another pawn in their grand scheme of things. MSG4 taught me war is inevitable and always orchestrated because it's great for the economy. Soon simulation systems will start dictating who goes to war and why, all run through proxies. Privatization of military company are already here. We already started to see how a small group of elites dictates everything that happens. Nothing is done, nothing happens without strings being pulled.
If it wasn't for the retconning of how FOXDIE works, including clunky scenes with Naomi and Liquid, MGS4 would be a perfect game. There are so many gameplay options. It felt like us PS3 owners got something truly unique and special.
These playstation fan-sites are on top.
They all seem to neglect to mention that the controls are broken.
They seem to neglect the 10 minute install, a 3minutent install at every chapter and a 20 load time at every new act, Ridiculous.
They also neglect that the framerate does dip well below 30FPS when there is explosions on screen.
5/5.....10/10.......100%..... ..A+.......MY RECTUM
Which 3fixme game (Exclusive lol) can compare to metal gear 4 in terms on ratings hmmmmm
This game is all about the Fan love...If you don't know anything about the Metal Gear storyline than the cutscenes will be "overly long-winded", however, I dont consider this a game, its in a whole other class. I consider it an Interactive Experience. Its probably the best entertainment I've gotten all year from any form of media, but I also followed the storyline and understood it.
Amazing game, already completed it twice :)
Playing Extreme Big Boss now, hard as nails! Best game of this generation easily (imo), as as far as I can tell it's the first game that really differentiates from the previous generation (simply upping visuals isn't good enough for me) in my opinion.
Absolutely love it, last 3 hours will probably never be topped in a video game (sooooo good!).
