What a package. Game Freaks 365 didn't even touch on Metal Gear Online, the multi-player aspect of Metal Gear Solid 4 that allows for all kinds of different online modes, including a Snake-vs.-everyone match. It is still the single-player that will have you most enthralled. Everything about this game, from the graphics and cut-scenes to the voice acting and past references, will have you begging for more. Metal Gear Solid 4 is a fitting conclusion to the entire franchise.
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.
that would entail that this game is damn near perfect...come on now there has never been a game that is that perfect....it would equate to .2 percent wrong with the game and that is not EVEN the case...not a fanboy..just saying that this game, nor no game can live up to a 9.8 EVER
I agree to an extent, but nowadays, a 7/10 is considered mediocre, and 6/10 a failure.
MGS4 is a damn good game, and by todays rating system, deserves what it got.
9.8 out of 10 means that there were only one or two flaws with the WHOLE and I mean WHOLE game (too long cut scenes, drawn out dialogue, mediocre Boss battles (compared to previous MGS games, Sub-Par Enemy AI,..I could go on and on) My point was clearly stated in my original post in that.....
no game can live up to a 9.8 EVER
...clear your eyes from FanBoy Blindness and see that this is not bashing, but truth
9.8 out of 10 or 10 out of 10 does not mean the experience is greater than the sum of all parts...or that MGS4 is a totally different case.....Scores this high would entail no things wrong with the game ...that includes all aspects (multiplayer THE BEST, Single player campain THE BEST, graphics THE BEST, Enemy AI THE BEST, weapons THE BEST, and with MGS4 this is simply NOT SO.......I ask you all to look at this game from a NON-BIASED Point of View
...The biased smell radiates off of you.
This game deserves as many 10's it can get. It's one of the best games in my collection and once I'm done with these last two classes in college, I will play it to death.
