"When you finish MGS 4 you're at a complete loss for words. Emotions run high and you breathe a sigh of relief that this saga is finally over, happy and content at the closure, but also somewhat sad that this is indeed the end, a sense of longing immediately ensues. And at the end of such a mesmerizing experience, I really am not sure how to begin this review. No need to wax lyrical what an art this game truly is, and suffice to say that you should just stop reading now, go out and buy it. However, let's indulge ourselves as to why you will part with you hard earned money, for that is after all, the reason we're gathered here."
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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱
An article looking at the symbolic meaning behind the cigarettes in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
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).
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.
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.
I must admit I never was interested in Metal Gear Series I never even bought the first one I only bought the 2nd one and the 3rd one well considering the reason why I never bought the first one cause at that time I only had a Nintendo 64 and Dreamcast at that time didn't like Sony
but of course after Sega stopped developing consoles I just bought myself a PS2 and now here it is Metal Gear Solid 4.
For all the hate for mgs4 in some of these lousy game sites who try an put MGS4 lower then it deserves, comes great reviews like this one. Nice review and I agree the game will be talked about for many years to come. :)
i mean some perfect reviews don't say much but how the author expressed the game is how i felt about the game.. it's just too much to take in when is finished.. all you can think about is that you can't wait to play it again..
Great experience, great game
another flawless score
...tell me why MGO is considered good? I am struggling to see its relevance.
