Good cutscenes for a long, long game yeah i can see them having trouble finding faults in the game.
why not try for example no sixaxis, install time, a ps3 exclusive, no spanish subtitle and other variety of things, that GTAiv does PERFECTLY. /sarcasm.
This is Metal Gear Solid and its obviously game for the Hardcore fans. I can't imagine MGS without the long amazing cutscenes. This is without a doubt my favorite series...there is nothing even remotely close to MGS and its type of heroism, Epicness and storytelling.
ROFL If God Of War can have great cutscenes that aren't 45+min long than so can MGS.
I bet around 40%-50% of all the people who have bought MGS1,MGS2,MGS3(& are gonna buy MGS4) are people who think this is a great series but think the cutscenes are a little too much.
"You don't deserve it"?
Sorry but if only the hardcore MGS fans were allowed to buy this game you bet your ass this game probably wouldn't even turn a profit.
So you can stick your hardcore MGS fan badge up your ass because this game wouldn't be as big as it's going to be w/out the average MGS fans.
Remember, they're are plenty of good movies out there that would've been considered great if only the editor &/or director would've cut out 20-30 minutes.
I'll still buy the game & probably enjoy it but am not going to get a hardon like many of you probably will. You guys are like a f_cking cult. You can't find any fault w/ this series or Kojima.
It is bad translation.
original text"Minus:Väl långa mellansekvenser, långa spelavbrott "/ actually they say very long and LONG pauses in between play time. I dont know how better to translate it. In short they think cut scenes are way to long and it takes you out of the experience for far to long.
I can see where a long interupting cut scene could take you out of the flow of the game. Not that I have ever felt that way while playing the MGS series. I can see it being a possiblity but the emotion and story of MGS is so rich that I it all just icing on the cake.
you can skip the cut scenes and they show you a flash back to sum it up for you. its brilliant, i personally am going to sit down wit some popcorn and watch the cut scenes though, but you DONT have to watch them and still know whats going on.
well since when long cutscene becomes a con...boy o boy, this game is for fans and fans knw mgs is full of long cutscences and codecs talk..but still they score it low coz of tht. thts cheap man......which MGS fan consider it con...disagree me...
Yea, it´s only the most important part of a game And since it´s two 10 and two 9 it should atleast have been a 9.5, especially since the gameplay was one of the 10.
because it was made for mgs fans, not non mgs fans. despite all the items that make the game more approachable it remains a game for the metal gear fans as kojima has stated many times.
ng2 is a niche game and should have been reviewed by someone that better understands it's appeal. not a game reviewer. not just a game reviewer that likes fighting games but by a reviewer that likes ninja gaiden. mgs4 is no different. it is another specialized niche game, not cod4 (thankfully).
here is one of the main points I have repeatedly tried to make about reviews. how would gta4 have scored had it been reviewed by someone not a fan of that genre, say a military realism strategy gamer? i don't think many sites have such people but there is the question.
would it be right to have that person review gta4? why not? that is exactly what these sites are doing with a niche game called MGS4. and make no mistake, it is a niche game. you either get it or you do not. so in all fairness to get a score where a title is given equal footing it requires a certain reviewer that loves that genre and niche.
as i stated on here before, you can always tell a metal gear true fan. when someone says, "the cut scenes are really long. like 90 minutes." the metal gear fan says "cool!"
I completely agree. You can see the difference in reviews: for example, Eurogamers gave the MGS4 review to someone who detests the series while PSW gave it to someone who loved the series. The results are clear; Eurogamer gave it the lowest score it has recieved thus far while PSW wrote an incredibly enthusiastic review, albeit without a number. However, this doesn't always hold true. The PTOM review was written by Rob Smith, a man who admittedly only played MGS2 on the PC, and he ended up loving the game and giving it a 10/10. It ultimately may boil down to how willing the reviewer is to give the game a chance.

People that play MGS play it for the cut-scenes, they are rewards for you endavours.
Looks like reviewers are just copying each other.
Journalism really has seen it's downfall :(
Alot of people don't play MGS just for the cutscenes.
Myself included.
.
If God Of War can have great cutscenes that aren't 45+min long than so can MGS.

WTF?
does that even make sense lol
makes sense though. Can't wait to play it!!
might want to put your title in your actual comment people will attack you if the only read the main comment lol
the attacks of those who can't read so good.

Really?!?! Long game??!
Jeez...
That is a minus??! Really??!
Really??!

Wow, I want to read their review of any of the Final Fantasy games. They must really suck by those standards!
[EDIT:] Swede was faster!
are bad i wonder, what score did gears get?
these sites are aggravating the crap out of me for taking away points for being to good a game
-_-
i officially hate reviews...for life
-------------
Metascore based on reviews 70% of playstation magazines, 25% of unknown sites and 5% of legit reviewers (8 from Edge, 8 from Eurogamer)?
Fantastic metascore!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jealous very much?
Seriously some games you just dont rip on, that goes for both xbox and sony fans...
since when long cutscene becomes a con...boy o boy, this game is for fans and fans knw mgs is full of long cutscences and codecs talk..but still they score it low coz of tht. thts cheap man......which MGS fan consider it con...disagree me...
Reviewers are looking more and more like women...
They always find something to nag about and they are impossible to please.
good job.
whoooop
I know a place that sells 80gig PS3...new.. 300 flat.
holla at me
review of the game :) im sure they are either gonna give it 9 or 10.
www.gamereactor.no
i think that we can expect the review tommorow or the day after.
*waves magic wand* it is done!
If Konami thinks there's a need for movie-length cut-scenes, then I look forward to finding out why.
edit: since morganfell misunderstood I'll clarify: long cutscenes? then they likely have good reason for it.
well it's nice to know that the only con is a pro for fans :)
It´s free =P
Graphics: 9
Spelbarhet (gameplay): 10
Ljud (Audio): 10
Hållbarhet: Sustainability: 9
I guess they dont give halfpoints..
And since it´s two 10 and two 9 it should atleast have been a 9.5, especially since the gameplay was one of the 10.

PS3 games are now ranked on a scale of 1 to 9.
Aww its too long.... RETARDS....
