Sorry guys (and girls), but I have to agree with the original poster. I think that MGS4 is one of the most overrated games I've ever played. I'm not trying to start a flame war - I know that if I specify everything that I thought was wrong with the thing, you guys will jump on me like ninjas.
He's not begging to be flamed, he's just an emo kid who is too in love with 8-bit Super Mario on the NES that has a completely closed mind and just attacks everything that doesn't fit his entire needs.
If he can give a reason, a TRUE reason with support as to why he doesn't like MGS4 rather than just state that he doesn't like the game because it doesn't fit his style of game play then I would respect his opinion more but until then..... no.

emo? what are you a ****ing retard? FEF! cod was crap cos it was so repedetive and ive already explained why MGS is so bad. **** you for calling me emo. im not in love with Super mario im in love with GTA
I don't know if this has been said before, but the robots don't bleed real blood. It's part of their technology to make them more efficient.
I like the Metal Gear Solid series, and although I haven't played the fourth yet, I can already tell by the way you speak that you're misjudging it. I'll agree that the game is over-rated. I've heard that there are some flaws in the game that need improving upon, but I haven't heard anybody degrade it as much as you have.
You're in love with GTA? Well, it's not necessarily bad game, but if if that's the only kind of game you're into, that pretty much sums up your character.

I respect your guys' opinions, and I really appreciate that there's a forum like this where we can discuss what we love (videogames). Sure, I'm not a MGS4 fan, but I think we can all get along!
I checked out your blog. It seems that you started to struggle with creating new reasons not to buy the game, so you just started making stuff up. There is no way in hell you now smoke two packs a day after seeing some smoking in a video game, if you are that weak minded I'm surprised these video games haven't convinced you to go on a murder spree first (which you also say this game will cause people to do). Also, smoking is definitely NOT depicted as cool in this game. Snake is the only one who smokes, and everyone else hates when he does it. At the end of the act 5 briefing, he nearly DIES because of his smoking, and than goes back for another one. Seriously, after watching that briefing I doubt I'll ever touch a cigarette again (not that I have been in the last few years anyway).
Also, wtf is with your #2 reason? Apparently gamers aren't supposed to like playing a game the way they want to now? When have you ever heard of multiple paths to completion being a bad thing? And attacking every situation the way you see fit- either sneaking around without even touching the enemy, clearing a path for yourself through their front lines, helping out the militia, or just going on a killing spree- is supposed to be a detraction? Sorry, but I'm just not seeing how any of that makes the game worse, and I'll be hard pressed to find someone who agrees with you.
The octocamo system was put in place because NOBODY LIKED THE OLD IMPLEMENTATION. You'd have to crawl 5 feet, see your camo drop, press start, search through all of your camouflage to find the best one for the situation, change to it, exit the menu, crawl another 10 feet, repeat. It was the a very inefficient and annoying system in my opinion. The new one dramatically simplifies the old system- crawl a few feet, see your camo drop, stay still for a second, start crawling again, repeat. Also, the octocamo system is MUCH more realistic than the old system (how can snake change his entire outfit that fast without being seen?), and since realism is apparently a big deal to you, I wonder why you wouldn't take that as a plus as well. Oh yeah, and video games IN GENERAL aren't realistic. What is wrong with mixing a bit of fantasy in with the near future? All the technology could conceivably exist, and they even explained the arm thing to something believable instead of the "SPIRIT INFECTION!!!" like they did in MGS2. Alright, the sorrow and mantis were a bit of a reach, but they were my two favorite bosses (right after Raven, that is), so if you don't like them, well screw you.
As for the spoilers, they do this with any game worth buying. With the exception of mario, basically every game on any "List of the greatest games" contains spoilers, and were enhanced by them. MGS4 was no exception. If you want to talk to someone about the game, simply ask "How far are you into the game?". They can simply respond with what act they are on without spoiling anything, and you can talk about all the acts both of you have completed from there. Better yet, just ask "Have you beat it yet?", so you both can actually talk about it in full. Simply wait until they beat it and just talk about other things otherwise. It's not that foreign of a concept.

After playing MGS4, I noticed that I had a compulsion to look at internet pornography, and only after hours and hours of binging on hardcore, exploitative porn did I realize that it was because of the not-so-subliminal messages I received while playing the game.
Seriously. At first, I respected you because you had seemed to be mature, and well, not full of total ********. However, between the above statement, the statement about smoking, and the statement about violence later on in your blog post, I have to say you are probably one of the most ignorant people I have ever seen come on these forums. You are a liar, you exaggerate, and literally only 2 of your 10 reasons why "MGS4 sucks" have any validity to them. There were others that I can agree with are problems, but you present them so poorly and lie in them as well that I can't even support you in those. Seriously, if you claim to take a definition from Merriam Webster's dictionary, ACTUALLY TAKE A DEFINITION FROM THEIR DICTIONARY, not some random ******** you made on the spot with absolutely nothing to do with the word you are defining.

Sorry, you just don't know me, when I get stuck on a word I use it a lot. I'm not sure if you're emo or not, before I posted that I watched the emo song on youtube and it was just stuck in my head.
How can you consider CoD4 to be more repetitive over GTA4? GTA4 is just like GTA3, GTA:VC, and GTA:SA just a slightly different story line. If you ask me, that's one of the most repetitive game series in gaming history.

i accept your apology >_< any way.
GTA i never really saw as being repedetive i mean. i think COD is repedative because all u do it run and shoot but in gta u can shoot as well as drive, fly, eat, change your appearance all with a free roaming city and a really long story. cod was just a few missions that made you run down a path way killing people.
MGS4 SUCKS!!! i came here to ask all of u... why is it so popular? i'm currently borrowing MGS4 and currently hating it. its all "CUTSCENE walk walk CUTSCENE CUTSCENE CUTSCENE CUTSCENE walk walk CUTSCENE CUTSCENE CUTSCENE LOADING SCREEN CUTSCENE CUTSCENE CUTSCENE walk CUTSCENE" its god damn frustrating and god damn japanese. i played MGS3 and thought that was a fair bit better 1. level design was alot smoother 2. still a Sh** load of CUTSCENES but not too many. and it didnt go too far when it came to all this technology and stuff.
TECHNOLOGY god damn it japan i played it for 2 seconds and there's all the fng robods that BLEED! yeah. BLEED (they're fng ROBOTS THAT BLEED BLOOD WTF?) and this suit that snake wears? i liked the cold war concept with real clothing n stuff not this technology crap.
finally JAPAN everyone in this game has to look cool. that vamp guy with his coat doing ballet everywhere and stuff that sonny girl with her stockings AND NAOMI!!!! WTF!??? god damn purves gave her exposed **** and shes a scientist! i cant take her seriously with all her clothing being open that bit too much. i aint gay, shes fng hot but its war in this game and shes trying to look her best! -_- WHY IS THIS GAME SO POPULAR IF ITS SO CRAP!?!?!?!
). Sure, I'm not a MGS4 fan, but I think we can all get along!
