This is something that has really been on my mind lately.
Back in April, IGN gave GTA4 a perfect ten. Along with many other game sites it
got a perfect ten. Then GameRankings, it took Zelda's spot as number one. After
April 29th, many gamers clearly stated that this game does not deserve a ten.
I been a GTA fan all my life, and to say maybe this isn’t the best game or GTA,
but it certainly lived up to its hype. People complained that many stuff were
taking out (weapons, cars, checkpoints) but you have to realize, when you add
in new things you have to take the old things out. Look at
On June 13th, IGN gave MGS4 a perfect ten. There is one thing I have to say.
Yes graphics are beyond greatness. Yes, the story is beyond epic, but what
about the game play? About 85%of your time, you are watching cut scenes. A game
is meant to be played not watch. I don’t know if you read my review, but I
labeled MGS4 as a "interactive blu-ray disc."
What I am trying to say is, how can you say that GTA4 does not deserve a ten,
but MGS4 should go higher than a ten? Everyone is saying something, but not
backing it up. So can someone just clear this up for me? I would really like to
know. Thanks.
"Digital board games can be tons of fun, especially when they're cooperative. That's what's in store for Beacon Patrol from Assemble Entertainment. Based on the real-life board game by Torben Ratzlaff, Beacon Patrol has players work together to explore a map and create a network of coastal paths, all by placing tiles. It's a lot like Carcassonne and Kingdomino, but set on the high seas. The upcoming Steam version will support 4-player local co-op, and there's a single-player demo right now," says Co-Optimus.
Mario Kart World is some of the most fun you’ll have this year that offers a deep experience with the Switch 2’s launch.
Few games among the Nintendo Switch 2 launch line-up can match Cyberpunk 2077 in putting the system through its paces. It's a staple of our PC benchmarking suite for good reason: the open world design is a solid stressor for any CPU, while its effects-heavy battles challenge GPU resources as well. This Switch 2 release has clearly been a big undertaking for developer CD Projekt Red too, who produced the port in-house with unique optimisations for Switch 2's ARM-based architecture. It's also remarkably the Ultimate Edition of the game, with both the core adventure and the more taxing Phantom Liberty expansion bundled in - an extra portion that proved too demanding to justify a last-gen console release, and was instead restricted to PS5 and Series X/S, and yet here it is running on Switch 2.
To cut to the chase, Switch 2 offers a truly viable way to enjoy Cyberpunk, either in a portable format or docked under a TV. However, CDPR has shot for the stars in its ambition to include Phantom Liberty as well, and it's here that Switch 2 hits some technical limits - with frame-rates struggling as we explore its newer Dog Town region. Still, that aside, there's a lot to admire in the game's engineering for Nintendo's new console overall, and how competitive it is in comparison with other consoles.
I am happy for CDPR. Their hard work paid off because the Switch 2 version are always in the top 5 Switch 2 launch game sales.
This may be one of the weakest launch lineups Nintendo has ever had, with Mario Kart being the only first party game, but Cyberpunk 2077 will definitely give you tremendous value for your money.
One tip I can give people who have never played the game is to first read books from the cyberpunk subgenre. This will allow you to appreciate the story much better. If you find yourself asking which life path is the best to take at the start of the game, in this case it is Corpo, Streetkid, and Nomad. You likely don't know enough about the genre, and certain things will fly right over your head. While it is not mandatory, the game will be 10 times better if you read or listen to some books first.
Some books I have enjoyed in that genre are:
Cyber Dreams by Plum Parrot,
Stray Cat Strut by RavensDagger
Tower of Somnus by Cale Plamann
Mist Runner by Nicholas Searcy
If you can only read or listen to 1 book, then I recommend Cyber Dreams by Plum Parrot. It is the closest thing to Cyberpunk 2077.
DF are Nintendo's occasional bootlickers after that blatant Zelda games ad scandal.
Games like CP2077 are meant to be played on big console or powerful PC on a big screen.
Got to love how they're simp for full price purchase of 5-year-old game and still getting the worst version to play on.
Wow you guys don’t let up for a second trying to blame DF for anything you can pick out the sky at any given moment. It’s embarrassing dude.
It’s always DF are bootlickers for Nintendo today, Microsoft yesterday, Sony last week. Make your mind up people… pick a side and stick to it. Sounds so stupid when you’re trying to make a point that some company is biased but that no one can make their mind up who the company is biased towards any given day of the week.
Yep, the amount of hate they get is ridiculous. The funny thing is if you actually look at the comments on their early switch 2 videos people are slating them for not giving it enough praise and constantly comparing it to ps4.
Well one thing a little exaggeration on the 85% cutscene. But I'D say its 50/50 or 60/40 in favor of gameplay. I just believe if you fly thru the action parts then I can see where you get this impression. But on topic I liked both games a lot I would probably give the edge to MGS4 because after 20 hours plus of playing I am still interested in going back and playing. Where as GTA4 I'm pretty much done with it.
I can't really explain why people feel this way. Maybe its because MGS4 is PS3 exclusive, but I got to the point where playing GTA4 was kind of like been there done that. MAybe its because I've played all previous games so much, and MGS4 I haven't played since the first MGS. But like I said both are fun I love them both just had a little more fun with MGS4.
Not the game I played. MGS4 is a game you can play multiple times in many different ways. Stealth or action may be used to great effect. Personally, it was fun mixing up the action w/ stealth and visa versa. The type of gun you use, the customization of that gun, your octocamo, and management of ammo/items is particularly rewarding. Also, if you rush through the game, you are bound to miss easter eggs, hidden guns and weapon attachments. Want to have fun with the guards? Plant a mine, get their attention and watch the scene unfold...take a picture or two. This game has infinite replay. Anyone saying the game has more cutscenes than gameplay, rushed through the game, and didn't enjoy it as much as they could have.
GTA4 was overhyped trash.
MGS4 is the greatest game of all time.
You decide.
85% cut scene???!!!are you sure you had played MGS4?It has about 8hours of cut scene and 15-20 hours of gameplay,and the BEST cut scene ever seen in a game,it makes DMC4 cutscene looks like TOM&jerry!
You clearly havn't played MGS4, and no GTA hasn't lived up to the hype. Good game but no where near as good as Zelda was at it time.
