Too bad multilayer is not the best it could be but single player FTW

Organic_Chemistry6424d ago

"The goal is the headshot", Headshots are hard to get, you see an enemy start shooting a full clip into him, then if hes lucky he shoots you once in the head and all that work goes to nothing. MGSO needs to change the pace of the game and the amount of shots it takes to kill someone. I standing there unloading a clip into a guy as he does the same to me and the one who gets the lucky headshot, wins! Totaly stupid, COD4 is still better for online, the pace and hits to kill etc are way better. The online in COD4 flows so nicely and does not take an entire 4 seconds of non-stop shooting to kill the bloody guy. COD4 is THE online multiplayer, but MGS4 is definitely THE game for PS3. I really hope they change it all soon...

By the way...

NETHERLANDS FOR THE WIN!!!

socomnick6424d ago

Yea I agree with you guys. The damage models in mgo are all out of wack. Takes 5 shots to the chest to kill or 1 random hs. Thats not putting the horrible lag over psn. Most of the time you have to aim ahead of the enemy to hit them . Also why cant we use the psn id. Having to click yes to sign an agreement every time you want to play the game is annoying.

Once again this game shows that.

Japan fails at multiplayer.

Bigrhyno6424d ago

I am not trying to be rude, but if you really think headshots are just luck... then you probably suck at the game. I love it too, reminds me of Counter-Strike where the person who aimed for the head would win.

xhairs6424d ago

Like the guy stated in his article, "10. Know your game types. As always certain game modes will allow you to think of alternative tactics to win. For example, in team death match, you are required to have more spawn points than your opponent when the timer runs out. It isn't always about getting the most kills so why not play smarter?"

Play Smarter, CoD4 = Run & Gun -- no matter what the game type its all about kills because it's an FPS. MGSO -- kills don't mean jack shat. Learn 2 Play before comparing two different genres.

Organic_Chemistry6424d ago

"MGSO -- kills don't mean jack shat"

Are you being serious? What then is the point of MGSO if you dont try to kill the opposite team? Stand there and let them kill you so that you can get the worst possible k/d ratio? I dont know how you play MGSO but I and everyone else plays it by killing the other team..

I LOVE my xbox6424d ago

stop pretending you have this game. No, seriously, just stop. We all know you would never purchase an MGS game, let alone a PS3. All you're doing is restating what some people have said as if it will make you less of a fanboy.

minus 1 bubble for you for being a noob.

xhairs6423d ago

Well apparently you didn't play the single player mode correctly. It's a different style of shoot 'em up. Granted your objective can be accomplished by killing the other team. But if you run out expecting 5 - 6 people to just pop out and kill them -- you're wrong. That's my point of KILLS DON'T MEAN JACK SHAT. In this game yes kills are great but your #1 priority should be the objective at hand.

In CoD4 -- your objective is simply to kill the other teammate. Time and time again in CoD4 I have seen people come in strictly to kill other people in an HQ objective. Why? Because it's an FPS.

MGO doesn't exist to me. Not until they make the changes the beta testers listed over and over and over again. Single player until they change it.

Shankle6424d ago

I like the gameplay but the menus and lobbies are so utterly appalling that I don't see myself playing it much at all.

Bigrhyno6424d ago

I've heard that from a few places, and I just don't see it. I have no problems with the menus at all.

xhairs6424d ago

I couldn't imagine the way a lobby looks destroying an entire game for me. If that was true I doubt I'd have played CoD4 or practically any game at that.

Phatjabba6424d ago

If you stick with your team you have a much better chance of not dying or hitting your objectives.

I don't see why you guys dislike MGO so much, I think its so much fun and different than your usual FPS multiplayer.

Close_Second6424d ago

...component of that and I dare say the hardcore gamers will make it work for them. But there are too few PSN members with headsets which makes teamplay damn hard and it will turn into nothing but a free-for-all for most who play.

chasuk086424d ago

I love MGO, it takes a good 2 hours getting used to before you start destroying people, but yh its great. One of the best online games around

socomnick6424d ago

The game is horribly flawed. Great concept but it fails to deliver. This could had been a great multiplayer game but even after the beta it sucks.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

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!!

Rude-ro679d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72679d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_679d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga679d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos679d ago (Edited 679d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23679d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000679d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin679d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole679d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix679d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989679d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor679d ago (Edited 679d ago )

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 😱

Michiel1989679d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Hideo Kojima laments that Metal Gear Solid 4's digital battlefield 'is no longer science fiction'

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).

Dirty_Lemons990d ago

That was a great fucking game/ movie.

DarXyde989d ago

To this day, it's one of those games where I refuse to skip the cutscenes, no matter how many playthroughs I've done.

But if you ask me...MGS2 was bloody prophetic and has aged like fine wine. That game was blasted as the weakest entry, and yet it's so enduring. I replayed it some time last year and it was remarkable.

sadraiden989d ago

Heed not the lamentations of people that say that MGS2 is bad because of the Snake/Raiden bait and switch. Every MGS game has its own merits, and while most people consider 3 to be the best, they all shine equally in my opinion.

porkChop989d ago

@sad

I would generally agree but with the exception of MGSV. It had truly excellent gameplay/combat, but dull and largely empty open world(s), and a narrative that is literally only half finished.

I really wish Kojima hadn't tried to go open world with MGS. It just wasn't right for the series. But I get it. He didn't want to make MG anymore but he wasn't allowed to make anything else. So he had to experiment within that franchise. Still, it was the wrong direction.

Santouryuu989d ago

I have been thinking about this a lot, MGS2 being the weakest and getting blasted.
My conclusion, for some years now, it's my favorite game of the series.
Going from MGS1 to MGS2 was such a big leap, in graphics, mechanics, etc.
And now it's even more relevant for being 'bloody prophetic' as you stated.

Maybe dust of my vita and play it again...

porkChop989d ago

It's a shame we never got a remaster of MGS4. The original game only rendered at 1024x768, and it ran anywhere from like 20fps to 60fps depending on the area. A remaster could have very easily cleaned up the visuals and performance. It's such a great game. I just want to play it again but in its best possible state.

MIDGETonSTILTS17989d ago

I agree, but they did all sorts of tricks to make use of the ps3’s cell processor….they’d probably have to rebuild the game in order to make it run on another machine. And, if that involves remaking those cutscenes somehow, then itll never happen, unfortunately.

porkChop989d ago

Nah. There have been plenty of remasters of PS3 games and they've turned out fine. It can be done.

ANIALATOR136989d ago (Edited 989d ago )

You can get near enough 4k 60 with it on RPCS3 these days

FallenAngel1984989d ago

War... war never changes. Or does it? The war has changed ...did it? The answer is no! Unless it is yes! No, of course it is! Is war! Yes! No! Yes?

PitbullMonster989d ago

Ah a man of culture. Duty calls

cell989989d ago

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.

Eidolon989d ago

You learned all this from MGS?

RNTody989d ago

All that was literally the themes and core story of each game, so not surprising he learned that from MGS. Metal Gear Solid 2 in particular is so relevant today, it was more than a decade ahead of its time and a work of genius. Kojima saw what the digital future was going to become when it was in its infancy. Even MGS 5 despite being unfinished and less of a traditional Metal Gear Solid game with regards to story, had a fair bit to say about language and control over it that is relevant today.

It's a highly acclaimed series for a reason, and one of my favourite.

Eidolon989d ago

I've watched my brother play the MGS games, but I only beat MGS1 myself on the PSP in 2014, and MGSV in 2016. I took the themes and plots as lore, tbh.. trying to piece together the story of MGS rather than relating them to our current times.

RNTody989d ago

It's definitely social commentary, Eidolon. You should read the "themes and analysis" section of the Wikipedia page for MGS2: Sons of Liberty for a start! Game was heavy on this.

Eidolon989d ago

I'll take a look, thanks. Actually might pick up MGS2 again (PS Vita), It's been years since I last played. Might start a new game tbh.

sadraiden989d ago

MGS2 literally predicted digital manipulation of information that we see today all the way back in 2001. MGS2 became Zucc's playbook.

Knushwood Butt989d ago

MGS taught me not to pee my pants.

cell989989d ago

Yes back in 1998 when I was 13. Throughout the years more information has been shown on this subject matters, but go back to early 2000s and information wasn't as prominent. Kojima was ahead of the game

He was on the ball about many things. A true visionary.

sadraiden989d ago

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.
