"I could tell you so much more about this game, but nothing will describe it to you like the actual experience yourself. I have been very lucky lately to have reviewed some great games, and I was very worried about reviewing this game because I could have ended up being labelled a PS3 fan boy, but I have absolutely no hesitation in making the following statement: MGS4 is THE best game I have ever had the experience to play, and to watch and to listen too. It will go down in my memory as an epic, and it is the most fitting end to a series of games, that were great to start with. This is THE reason to own a PS3, and I can finally and confidently say that the PS3 has just been delivered its Killer Game."
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.
I love how it is just now getting its "KILLER AP GAME" What the fuksing ever.
Resistance - Killer ap game
Motorstorm - Some would argue it was a killer ap game. Just not me
Ninja Gaiden sigma - Kill ap game for anyone who never played it on xbox.
Oblivion - Killer ap game
COD4 - Killer ap game
Ratchet & clank ftod - KILLER AP GAME!
Uncharted - Killer AP GAME!
Seems to me they've had plenty of must have games on their hands. Maybe some people are just to stupid to see it. Folklore is another one that I feel is a must have game. Some people just don't understand or want to take a chance on things for a change of pace. It's alright, I'm glad I don't listen to these idiots who tell me what a killer ap game is and isn't.
You know when a game is EPIC when about 20 reviews say its the best or one of the best games ever made. Even when people give 10/10's they usually dont say that.
