@ jamie NDA = non disclosure agreement. Basically contract that binds them from releasing specific details or info until some certain conditions are met or a date is passed e.t.c

[Jamie Foxx]

THANKS SONARUS
learn sutin new everday

[sonarus]

for every lame score there is a 10 around the corner:D

[FreeMonk]

Godddd!
When will reviewers learn that there is no such things as a game that is 100% perfect???

Because that is what 10/10 is saying it is, that the game is flawless, and I'm guessing that even though that I've never played MGS4, that is it not flawless.

There has to be one little thing that is wrong with MGS4 that deducts from a 100% score, that the 10/10 is perceving!

[BulletToothtony]

It may not be flawless but it sure deserves it....
and if gta4 and halo3 got them, then why doesn't mgs4 deserve it???

[ScentlessApprentice7]

If GTA IV can get almost unanimous perfect 10 scores...
MGS4 should accomplish the same feat...if only the inherent biases towards the PS3 weren't so prevalent in a certain portion of the gaming community today.

[CRIMS0N_W0LF]

if you ever played Kojima's games you know they are perfect.

No glitches no frame rate issues no bugs no nothing.

MGO BETA was more polished then all the games released this gen

[FreeMonk]

But...
I'm not saying that GTA4 or Halo 3 are perfect either! That are not!

What I am saying is that reviews have to start reviewing the games for what they are and not for the hype that is behind them...is which has happened with Halo 3 and GTA4.

Trust me, I am a massive MGS fan, and still believe that the original PS1 MGS is the one of my top 3 games ever...but it's not perfect!

There is nothing known as a perfect game/movie/ even person on this planet, because there is nothing that is perfect!

[ATLRoAcH]

@ FreeMonk
When will everyone realize that a perfect review score isn't suppose to state that the game is perfect. No game is perfect and there never will be a perfect game. A 10 out of 10 means its a must buy not a perfect game. Thats what review scores are meant to be, something that tells you the worth of a game and not just a rating on the technical quality.

[bluegoblin]

Freemonk
In that case the 10 shouldnt even exist...
10 refers to a masterful game not a perfect game and if theres is a masterful gama out there it is most definitely MGS4...

[lovedaddy]

@ FreeMonk
10 / 10 doesn't have to mean perfect, it could mean its just exactly what you want out of a game.

Few would probably argue that FF7 wasn't a 10 / 10 game when it was released, but by todays standards the gfx are dated etc Just because it isn't perfect doesn't mean its not as good as gaming gets at this moment in time.

Think of it this way... if I was to describe my car, its a Toyota Yaris 1.4D. I'd give it 10/10 - why, because its cheap to run, getting 62mpg, falls in the lowest company car tax band, small enough to park in busy UK streets, yet big enough with 5 doors for bags and 4 passengers. Does it mean it could beat a ferrari in a 0-60? Course not, but for the purpose for which I purchased it, its perfect.

[MikeGdaGod]

10/10 doesn't mean perfect anymore
what it means now is that its one of the best games you can get. and for alot of people, one of the best games you'll ever play.

thats all i need to know

[FreeMonk]

But a 10/10 does means perfect it means it is a 10 out of 10, you can't get bigger than a 10 if it's rated out of 10.

The reviews could of rated it a 9.7 out of 10, but they've rated it a 10/10 meaning it's perfect, which I'm sure it isn't.

[juuken]

FreeMonk...it didn't get a 10 because it's so perfect that God himself made it. A 10 means that it's a must-buy and you would have to be out of your MIND to miss this game. I know people who have never played a MGS game who are getting this one. It's too hard not to pick this one up.

[Panthers]

Perfect is impossible. Games cant be perfect because everyone is different and certain people dont like certain things. The point of a 10/10 review is that the game is amazing and groundbreaking. It does not need to be perfect.

[Timesplitter14]

@FreeMonk
It's all in relative terms. If they gave GTA4 a 10, it's unacceptable for them to give MGS4 any lower score

[The Wood]

@FreeMonk
kidding, no thing to say its just everybody was telling ya what 10/10 actually meant;)

10/10 means one of the best games you can spend your money on at the present time. In ten years time it might rate at a 7 because of advances in whatever therefore it could never be perfect in the firstplace.

[theKiller]

i will visit their site
so they get more hits

[theKiller]

10/10 doesnt mean perfect game these days with the exception of

METAL GEAR SOLID 4: GUNS OF THE PATRIOT

[thePatriot]

8 is not lame. well, it is for mgs4
and for every lame score there are 3 perfect right behind it

[callahan09]

"When will reviewers learn that there is no such things as a game that is 100% perfect???"

Look, a 10 doesn't mean it's perfect. OK?

If you say nobody ever gives a 10 because nothing is ever perfect, then you're just setting the bar of perfection at a lower digit. Then a 9 becomes the new 10. Just like in Spinal Tap, "Well this amp goes to 11..." yeah sure, but 11 on your amp is really just 100%, just like 10 on somebody else's amp is 100%. The highest review score should never be interpreted as perfection.

[supahbad]

if anything i think that giving mgs4 a perfect score so soon after the whole gta4 thing means that it really is as good as it gets, that it really is the best game up to date imo

[LeSouteneur]

This is what I like to see
Sure, I'm gonna get this game no matter what, but 10s are like eye candy to me. <3_<3

[pharmd]

did we expect different from Playstation: the official magazine???

if it gets all 1s or 10s it doesnt matter to me, im getting it regardless

[sonarus]

this isn't PTOM though this looks like OPM US

[pharmd]

dammit, thats what the description says tho.....**confused**

[sonarus]

in fact i am pretty sure this is a duplicate story
http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

[ATLRoAcH]

Its P:ToM
Its a duplicate also but judging by the amount of comments it looks like a lot of people missed it. Its weird, a story will be posted and get like 50 degrees and then when a duplicate of the same story gets posted it gets 300 plus degrees.

[LenHart]

Take that eurogamer /EDGE /GS and 1up
BTW people

GI has given MGS4 a 10/10

scans soon to be posted

[pwnsause]

you have the magizine? really Game informer?

[LenHart]

I will be posting soon
My friend has it

I am in Montreal . he is in Toronto. He will be coming tomorrow or day after

MGS4 has got 10/10 from MANYYYYY websites

The reviews are on hold because of NDA. I think IGN USA also gave it 10

the embargo for US lifts in a day or two

But very sure it will be getting 10 from many websites

[Varsarus]

I'm fed up with reviews nowadays, some are biased, some aren't, but we know the MGS series, so this one is obviously gonna be great. :D

[Tmac]

I really don't care, 10 or otherwise.

[Mario18]

LenFart, isn't this a duplicate?

[LenHart]

This is PTOM USA
the previous review was for PTOM UK

[Tmac]

this is the US, not UK

[Mario18]

oh alright, duh... lol

[LTC]

I hope your right LenHart then these 4 Sony hating websites can eat D!ck

[jackdoe]

This review was already posted. Anyways, interesting read, a review written by Rob Smith, former OXM editor who got tons of hate mail last year after PSM gave the bad review of Warhawk.

[The Wood]

interesting
i hear those mags share the same building (the uk branch) as they're owned by the same publishers. Apparently there's a lot of banter between the two camps and the xbox side had more staff than the ps3 side

[Surfman]

Happy to see real reviews, not like eurogamers... i guess they have'nt played it... those losers.

[jackdoe]

Eurogamers gave a real review. They played MGS4. It's just that their review was scathing with hate and it was obvious that the reviewer disliked playing the game. It did critique the game well at points however.

[You bought an Xbox]

Ha Ha Xbots
You won't be playing MGS4

Ha Ha Loosers

[Kaz Hirai]

They do not DESERVE to play this masterpiece!
The Xbot SWINE will be busy playing SUB-PAR TRASH such as FLOP Gaiden 2, FLOP Effect, Banjo KaFLOPPY, FLOP Oddyssey and Gears of FLOP 2!

12 days until Judgment Day, Nazisoft!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

[Veryangryxbot]

@5 Your avatar and username
is truly EPIC.

10 out of 10.

[resistance100]

@Kaz Hirai - Bubbles, that made me laugh =D

I know i shouldn't being a 360 owner! lol(well not right at present as had to sell to afford games such as MGS4 and pay off debts, but will be picking one up again when GeOW 2 is released)

[Kyur4ThePain]

Ban Hammer
Can we have a separate section for game reviews on this site, where they don't even appear on the front page, but you have to go through a different tab to see them?

There is nothing more useless and fanboy-inspiring than a bunch of reviews each time a game comes out. I'm getting pretty sick of them.
Only an idiot needs to have someone else tell them whether a game is good.

[boodybandit]

Agreed
I can't remember the last time I read a review. They always turn into flamebait. It would be awesome if there was a separate tab for reviews but I doubt it will happen. Negativity attracts attention to most sites unfortunately.

[juuken]

Yet another perfect score.

[Condoleezza Rice]

I lost count
Too many 10s and 9s.

[juuken]

Me too!
If another 10 comes out...I'm gonna faint again.

[Destructor]

all the official playstation magazines have given this game a perfect score. Every other IMPORTANT site have reviewed this game with anything under a 8.5.

Get the point?

[juuken]

Other *sites* have given it a 10 and not just Playstation magazines.
Give me a break.

[jackdoe]

So TWO places (Eurogamer and Edge gave it an 8.0) equals every other place? Jeez. So IGN, which gave it a 9.9 doesn't exist huh? Fool.

[hotshot127]

so what is ign? or what is gamepro?
you found two sites.

edge(of which also gave gears a 8, bioshock a 8, and mass effect........a 7)

eurogamer(of which some guy that clearly stated he NEVER liked mgs )

and now all of a sudden, mgs is a 8 game? your logic is severely flawed.

g4 will give this game a 5/5 also.

ign usa will give this game a 9.9, if not 10
ign au will give this game a 9.8,9.9sh area

1up gave mgs3 a 10/10 last time so expect mgs4 to score the same.
you my friend, need help..........

EDIT: and theres about 12 other non playstation sites that have given it a 9.5 to 10/10 range. so what about those? did you forget them...........

[juuken]

Ah, and I see that MGS4 haters are making new accounts and disagreeing like crazy! Haters, I hope you're not surprised when this game gives Sony the HUGE boost they need to get even closer to 360 sales! And seriously, don't hate because this game can't work on you system! You made the wrong choice in buying a console that's 1. unreliable, 2. you have to pay way too much money for online service, and 3. it's coming from a corporation that can't be trusted!

June12th=Judgment Day

[juuken]

Ah, feel sorry for those 360 owners. They won't be playing this near-perfect game. xD

[Varsarus]

Unfortunetly, the 360 doesn't have the technical capabilities to even run the game.

MGS4 will be GOTY.

According to IGN:

MGS1 = 9.8
http://uk.psx.ign.com/objec...

MGS2 = 9.7
http://uk.ps2.ign.com/objec...

MGS3 = 9.8
http://uk.ps2.ign.com/objec...

and Gears 1....

9.4
http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/o...

[juuken]

That's why Sony will win the war.

[steck67]

...and it just doesnt end with MGS4. We also got FF13 and Versus, Resistance 2, LBP, GoW3, and many more to come. I am glad to be a PS3 owner.

[Vino]

I've decided to go with the ps3 and wii combo, I know this game will be great.

[Vino]

Destructor I Don't care what you think
I don't own a ps3 or a Wii and I'm buying them at the end of the year, I'm not going to buy a consoles based on what people think, especially on the internet. Can't wait to play Mgs4, Zelda TLP, and some other games on December.

[belal]

wtf why is it 12 days
to jugement day ? is the ebgames coundown wrong ? it says 11 days: 1 houre and 48 min :O

[bioshock]

june 12th is very special to Mr Kojima
its the same date he released MGS1 in japan 10 years ago and from their it all started.....One of the best gaming experience..he in ma view a true creative director.he never copy anybody yet make something which everyone wants to copy....

and LENHART....
r u for sure tht GI gave it 10...dont u play with ppl heart here..every PS3 owner as u knw is very sentimental about MGS4.confirm it..u gona most scans soon rite...if its true thn im going crazy man...and how much sure u are tht ign gave it 10 i mean whats ur source...no offence man but i just wanid to confirm...im one dieheart mgs fanatic..

[Blitzed]

Lots of new accounts...
It's fuuny how many 'new' accounts have shown up bashing and downplaying MSG4 in all the reviews. The usual suspects working OT it seems...

[FreeMonk]

10/10
But a 10/10 means perfect it means it is a 10 out of 10, you can't get bigger than a 10 if it's rated out of 10.

The reviews could of rated it a 9.7 out of 10, but they've rated it a 10/10 meaning it's perfect, which I'm sure it isn't.

[juuken]

GTAIV isn't perfect and somehow it got a 10.
MGS4 deserves the 10's that it's getting.

[jackdoe]

10/10 has never meant perfect. Never has, never will.

[Crazyglues]

Yeah that first pic in the magazine looks so sick....
This game is going to be amazing... I can't wait, I love the enemies suit designs they made for the game because we have never really seen stuff like this before in a game. (just really well done)
