The option to invert your up and down controls was also a plus. Looks like Gears2 is going to get better and better if they infact do mimic the type of controls Uncharted had as an Option for players who find it less clunky.
Its good to see developers constantly upgrading things and not considering them done.
Sad to see no weapon customization though, and I guess 5 vs 5 is confirmed for the multiplayer. Which isn't an issue, but I cant see how thats going to improve ...
But there were no good reasons in the 8's. It was all nitpicking and people complaining about stuff that is part of the metal gear world.
Anyone who is a fan of gaming will find that there is no comparable experience available. The game is over the top with detail/gameplay/story. Its insane.
The graphics are second to none in the console market. The controls are butter smooth, and the game play is varied and balanced. There is no point at to which I found the gamepl...
I don't mind low scores, but reviewers need balls to back them up.
All of the negatives about this game, are positives on other titles. I'm sure they had no problem giving Halo3 a 9/10 or GTA4 or Rainbow 6 v2..
Less actual game than previous MGS titles? How?
The game is action oriented? How on earth is this a Con? when you can play the game without firing a gun only for boss parts?
Yet, PS3itus strikes again.
Buh buh cut scene and buh buh insta.. buh buh
Best Game anyone has played this generation
period
edit:
Just aimed at the tiny few that have ridiculous beefs with the title considering what it is. Its like playing an RPG and complaining that there isn't enough platforming. Just too bad.
Xplay did hit something on the head.!!!!!!!!
The long cut scenes really do replace the CODEC crap. Remember how long that used to b...
Hit Skip?
Namely, COD4.
Halo3 is fine
Halo3 hype is retarded.
You need a mid-range PC to play in a higher resolution and quality than the native 360 output.
And who can say that they have NEVER played a game LIKE:
Halo3
Gears
Mass Effect
Ninja Gaiden 2?
Anyone?
Why don't idiots just skip the scenes?
"buh buh i wanna get the story" Then WATCH them until you get enough story. THEn skip. The majority are skipable.
I hate when non fans of the game talk crap about it. I LOVE the cut scenes, it adds to the entire gaming experience. You don't rush through MGS4 you try to beat it by being the most stealth you can.
Yeah you CAN rush through it, just like you CAN get a Kobe Beef Steak Well done.
MGS4 is ...
It trumps several other titles when it comes to the engine customization factors. The painting is meh to me because I'm more into car porn.
Few things that they need to address is the physics and the lack of support for Logitech/Porsche/Custom Steering wheels. Because the 360 wheel is 100% terrible compared to the G25, and even the DFPRO. This is the one thing that the franchise doesn't have going for itself, and if it wants people to take it seriously about being a simulator, yo...
what does that make you?
Great find MS?
What exclusive is going to sell as well as MGS4 right at this time? NG2?
The retarded thing is that the PS3 had a higher attach rate for MGS4. Its like Microsoft doesn't understand math.
GTA4 PS3 sales + MGS4 PS3 sales = More than GTA4 360 sales alone.
MGS4 is a better game, more enjoyable, and a work of art.
Keep bragging about software sales, because gamers are going to start to realize they don't enjoy sales, but enjoy good games. Which GTA4 isn't. Come on over to the PS3 side. Its time.
I agree that fanboys run rampant in the industry. Unfortunately most of them get to write reviews.
Metal Gear 4 is the most impressive over the top titles I have ever played in my life, its the majority evaluation out there. The game play is completely intense, and its matched by Square quality cut scenes. The story touches the face of the politics of war, and technologies place within it. Not saying that it has any valid points, i'm just talking about the subject matter. The ser...
The majority of reviewers call the game amazing gameplay, amazing visuals, amazing innovative game elements...
The people that dont like the MGS series\games said:
Theres no innovation
the cut scenes are too long
They dont like the game
The visuals are amazing.
In the wake of more than 20 10/10's given out for this game, the minority Eurogamer and Edge reviews just highlight the unfortunate truth that some sites are just plain biased ag...
Form opinions of your own, dont just follow like a sheep.
FF13 is a huge game, but its not a first person shooter. Heavy story, lots of cut scenes. Just FYI.
So I guess everyone is pretending there was no Murder Spree there days earlier?
LOL such an xbot till you die.
"Ok Ok.. So what, sony is selling more.. but they should be selling MUCH MUCh more!!!"
Lesson learned here... The 360's only region of dominance is losing to the PS3. Remember this is a slow paced race. Microsoft shot off everything in the first minute.
While the Ps3's sales are growing, the 360's are stagnant.
I look forward to your next month NPD reply..
"Well ok.. so it sold 90k...
Its like cutting through a movie just to get to the end.
Your loss morons.
Dude.... PoG yer like the Minister of Defense when Iraq was getting bombed..
"there are no... americans.. here... we are fine.. (bomb) .. everything is ok"
"Only 20,000" "only.. 100,000.. only...." Yeah.. keep counting the #'s.
God your little xbot heart must be pounding now just like the guy in the gif.
Too bad man. Too bad.
Maybe you should read the article next time. Then you would know what Cliffy said about Uncharted.
You really are a complete moron. Isn't it your silly ass xbot duty to worship everything about Gears2? And you dont' even read the article?
I mean we all know you are a die hard fanboy, but are you even a gamer at all? Interesting interview--for gamers. IF you read it.
When you wake up, does it hurt your head to realize how stupid and pathetic you are? Or ...
