I generally wouldn't bash anyone on simply their opinion but your little blog pretty much threw that rule out of the window.

Quote:
#10 Length of the Game.
The true length of the game is on average over 20 hours just like the other 3 MGS games. It is basically an awesome movie that you can play. It's not meant to be skipped through the cut scenes unless you are making a speed run.

Quote:
#9 Smoking
The game is rated Mature so get over it. If 10 year old kids are playing this game then it's their parents own damn fault.

Quote:
#8 Pornography
So you prefer half naked men? Again, it's rated Mature and since MGS2 you could lay down "magazine" to distract enemies so you can get past them. No one is nude inside of the Playboy, they are all in swinsuits or clothing similar to a swimsuit. You see girls in swinsuits all of the time in movies, on TV, or just at the beach. It's what women wear when they want to go swimming or tanning, so again, get over it.

Quote:
#7 Spoilers, Spoilers, Spoilers
The game is an extremely successful series so anyone who wants to finish does not want to know about the game until they play it themselves anyway. You can tell many people the general idea of the game without giving away spoilers, you just don't know how.

Quote:
#6 OctoCamo
In order for the Camo to fully work, you have to be moving slow and stealthily. If not, the guards will not have a problem spotting you at all unless you are playing on the easiest difficulty available. Even when you are moving slowly, if guards get close enough they will still see something to at least go investigate what it was.

Quote:
#5 Crappy Level of Realism
It's set in the near future in the GAMES timeline for the near future, not real life. Get a grip dude... it's not supposed to be an exact replica of todays modern world.

Quote:
#4 Cut Scenes
The whole series is basically a mix between cut scenes and game play because you are supposed to get the effect of playing a movie. The cut scenes explain a LOT and lead you up to when you do play, it has more meaning and is more dramatic. This game is not for everyone obviously but if you're big into fast paced shooting games, then this game just isn't for you so you shouldn't rag on it just because it's not your style.

Quote:
#3 Violence
Yet once again, IT'S RATED MATURE!!! There is a reason for that rating. And is there a reason you called this a "cartoony game?" It's NOTHING CLOSE to a cartoony game and is supposed to be extremely realistic and if you ask me, they hit the nail on the head with this game. Besides, "little Johnny" shouldn't have this game in the first place and if he does, again, it's his own parents damn fault.

Quote:
#2 Indecisiveness
The only reason it's easier to go guns blazing in this game is because the character gameplay is a lot more user friendly then in past MGS games. Also, if you would play the game on harder difficulties rather the SUPER EASY difficulty you played it on, you would understand that going in guns blazing isn't so easy. There is still a lot of stealth based action and guess what, you, that's right, YOU have the CHOICE to play the game as you please.

Quote:
#1 Snake is Old
This one makes you look really dumb and proves that you love talking **** about something you know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about. There is a reason Snake is old and if you would have even done your research or even played through the series than you would know exactly why.


Game critics like you are the reason gamers hate most critics in general. You have no base to your stories at all nor do you do any research before going on a negative rant about a game.

No, but I won't play gta4 for that very reason. I personally believe that whatever you expose your mind to (porn, violent games, etc.) can profoundly change your consciousness.

Oh, and I'm NOT RELIGIOUS at all, so it's not a moral thing.

It can... if you're insane. Being adults, or at least mature, you know right from wrong, and if you go out and do something because a video game did it, you're ****ed in the head.

Ok, well, maybe I'm being a little tongue-in-cheek when I say it made me smoke 2 packs a day. HOWEVER, I stick to my guns when I say that what you expose yourself to will influence you in subtle ways. To say, "I don't go killing hookers after playing GTA IV" is missing the point -- the keyword is "subtle."

Not to dwell on the porn issue, but just as an example, I think that guys today with their typical online porn habits are less able to appreciate women. It's just an observation...

Not everyone is perfect either. People do what they want to do these days. Most of it is considered wrong but those same people just don't care.

There is nothing you can do about it either. There are a lot of dumb and immature people in the world now and that group is starting at a younger age as years pass. Now we're at the point of where little kids believe they are wanna be thugs and I can tell you this, it IS their parents fault, nothing or no one else's. Parents have complete control over what their kids are exposed to and a lot of parents just don't care anymore which is pathetic.


One question I have for you though, why did you subscribe under the name of "mgs4sucks?" Going by your morals or view on things, GTA4 should be considered a worse game than MGS4. Why not just pick a generic name to post on the forums with rather than something that is basically asking everyone to bash you?

Fair question. Well, I joined the board after seeing the MGS4 Sucks thread in Google, so it's the first name that came to mind. Soon after selecting it, I realize it was a bit impulsive of me. Perhaps I just need the attention, so picking a provocative name brings me the attention that mommy never gave. Ok, that's going a little too far.

Well, if you want to continue being apart of these forums and not just stick around to prove your opinion of MGS4, to get your name changed just send a Private Message to Libertine (the forums admin) with your new selected name.

This is crazy talk... if you think this game sucks, then I think you need to have your head examined.

:dropping two cents:

And just incase you didn't get the memo that went around. Controllers now come with this handy thing called a start button which when pressed, allows you to skip entire cutscenes.
I'm not understanding your logic here. A stealth game where stealth is optional? How is this a good thing? It's just one of the many things that makes the game far less challenging than it should be.

Also, how is the ability to skip the cutscenes an excuse for the overwhelming number and length of them? People keep throwing around this "cinematic gaming" garbage, implying that the "game" is the cutscenes. Wouldn't that mean that skipping the cutscenes would also mean missing out on the majority of the "game?" Citing the ability to skip the "game" is not a defense of the "game."

I'm not understanding the cinematic approach to gaming in general, really. Why anyone thought that video games could be improved by lessening their interactivity is beyond me.
