...MGS4 deserves this score. I haven't played it but I'm confident. A true accomplishment.

(side note)

I'm really happy about Obama winning. He deserves it because in my opinion he'll make a better president than anyone else who ran/ is running. I don't want another run of the mill republican to be president . I've never been inspired by any president/presidential candidate like I am by Obama. A true accomplishment.

This is why i quit going by review's anymore. People can't put truth into there reviews anymore. Super Smash Brother's for the wii, Perfect Score. Give me a break. I know MGS4 is not perfect cause i played the beta. I would deduct 15 point's from the review cause of the multiplayer being so bad "IMO".

You imbiciles never learn. There's gotta be some type of secret mass hypnosis government program going on here because it's baffling to see how stupid people are. You push aside people like Nader & Paul because the media tells you these candidates are not worthy of being considered.
Nader or Paul can win if you put them in the PRESEDENTIAL DEBATES [not party primaries]SIDE BY SIDE those selfish,traitorous scum like McCain, Hilary or Obama. Only retards bother to really pay attention to the Democrat/Republican primaries.Who gives a s_it, you know both parties are gonna choose some greedy elitest/imperialist bastitch.

scottie2521 - 570 days 2 hours ago

you know, this really isn't the place to really discuss such matters and my earlier comment was more of an emotional response since nothing like this has ever happen before in our country. but let me just respond to your comment because you seem a bit misguided.

while i agree that we should have more emphasis on other parties besides the main two, using Nadar and Paul in your example doesn't really help your cause.

Nadar is a great man and i strongly agree with many of his views and policies, but the truth of the matter is that he's had his time. for years he's run and put his views out for everyone to hear. he's been on every talk show and in almost every magazine speaking about his views and policies since i was little. the truth is people won't vote for him in large numbers and THAT's why he's lost every time he's put a bid in for the white house. that being said i do think he could be a good president.

Ron Paul on the other hand, is a different story. while i agree with a few of his policies, he's not as great as you might believe. if you do some research on him you'll realize why he'll never have a real shot at the presidency, some of this policies are just plain crazy. and maybe if you did pay attention to this most recent presidential race, you'd realize he WAS in the debates (and made the most sense out of all the Republicans ). i know you said presidential debates, but if that was the case, it would mean there would only be him and someone else. and they have to be able to out debate everyone else first.

you say Obama is a phony. i say he is our only hope. you have to face reality. out of Hillary, McCain, and Obama who do you think would do the most to put our country back on track? certainly not McCain, and Hillary has shown that the things the Republicans have been saying about her for the last few years has some truth to it. as a soon to be college graduate in the field of electrical engineering, i'm excited in his ideas about bringing jobs back to America and helping people that really need it.

i could go on for days, but what i really find funny is that the person calling other people imbeciles, can't even spell it! LOL

@kevin1122...let me just say Obama has accomplished quite alot

he wasn't born with a silver spoon like most of the people in our government these days, he came from truly humble beginnings. he graduated from Harvard Law and was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. he taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School. he's worked as a community activist. he's the first black person to be elected to the Illinois Senate. now he's the first black man to receive the Democratic Presidential Nominee. i could keep going but again this is the place, i just couldn't let it slide when you claim he hasn't accomplished anything. that's just a flat-out lie, or sour grapes.

oh, and just one more thing, he writes the majority of his own speeches. just so you know.

@Bloodwar......seems like you've been drinking a little too much of the Bush kool-aid.

that whole Weather Underground terrorists organization is nothing more than fear mongering. along with the "Barrack Hussein Osama" bullsh!t. i just happy to see that people no longer fall for that. it's more than obvious that people won't be to be talked to like children anymore. face it, its over for you. it will take more than petty mudslinging to stop this train. if thats the best you and them can do, this will be an easy election win for Obama.

That'll shut 'em up. Obama does write almost all of his speeches. I can't believe Kevin said that on the spot he says dumber things than Bush, thats just wrong. When he does interviews and is asked questions on the spot he always has clever answers. Obama is a very smart man. He isn't stupid at all. I think Obama will be great when it comes to foreign relations. The fact that so many countries outside the US like Obama is a very good thing. He has handled all the sh!t thrown at him with grace and kept a cool head. Those are qualities we need in a president. Anyway, I bet most of the Obama haters never even gave him a chance. They see him on TV and just change the channel.

I'm really excited about Obama running for president. I can't wait until he proves to everyone just how good a president he can be.

You should be double proud scottie (if you could even be any prouder). Hes also a hometown hero for you.

lonestarmt - 570 days 2 hours ago

actually obama doesn't write most of his own speeches. FYI. Also anyone who says McCain is big government is wrong. He is a conservative. Which means less government. Do you guys know politics? He is for less government spending and less government involvement. I don't really like either two people running but abeam is a fraud. He wants to impose the highest tax increase in decades. He wants to put restrictions on everything including what temputare you keep your house at. You are all sheep. He went to a church that was anti-US and said things racist remarks just like the KKK always say but on the other side of the coin. He was friends with a terrorist that said america deserved 9/11 and wished more happened. There is a crime lord in chicago who is on trail for murder that has donated tons of money to the obama campaign. He gave only 1% (lowest out of congressmen)of his income to charity while McCain and Clintion gave 13% last year. For God sakes people he has got in trouble twice for saying a speech that another congressmen said seven years ago word for word. His whole catch phrase yes we can he stole from bob the builder. He got in trouble three weeks ago for saying he had to been to all 57 states in america. He does great speeches, but whenever you ask him hard questions he whines and says the media is picking on him and has no real answer. There is even a video about his wife who spoke at that church that he goes to yet doesn't agree with what that racist paster or had no idea he felt that way even though he said the man was like family to him. He said his dad liberated a concentration camp in WWII execpt the camp that he said he did was actually freed by the russians. lol What pisses me off is he actually says just as much stupid stuff Bush says (at least bush knows there are only 50 states in america), the only difference is your all blind and the media wants him to win so you never hear it.

So is everyone else, because a two party system is fundamentally flawed.

WHY?
Everyone in the Republican party votes along Republican lines.
Everyone in the Democratic party votes along Democratic lines.

You are in a two party dictatorship...not a democracy.

...Being jerked back and forth between two choices, diverting your attention from real issues and the fact that you have no real choice at all.

That's why you're a YoYo. Unfortunately, so is everyone else.

Oh, and 40/40 on Famitsu IS incredible!

Agree(1) | Disagree(1) | Report

syanara - 570 days ago

I was not commenting on the fact that this country has a two party system or anything at all I was commenting that why does so many people hate bush?

from here it looks like you would be the YoYo because you replied with something that had little to do with what I was saying and was very far from the point of my comment.

BUT to get to your point
if you think the two party system is flawed what do you prefer? multi-party? or single-party? or do you want to create a whole different government all together. I think out of the others two party would be your best bet because it goes by people's general views, if your views are more republican you would probably vote republican and vise versa for democrats and since the balance between dems and republicans is soo even it only takes a handful of people to change the balance. although that could be a problem too since there are soo many people who can't switch sides or can't stand to be proven wrong. but I belive its better than any other way. but you could be right in away because our fore fathers talked about the dangers of having political parties but much can change becuase back in the day all republicans used to democrats and vise versa at least that is my opinon

Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report

Zeevious - 568 days 22 hours ago

You didn't say why do so many people hate bush, you said DEMOCRATS. The statement alone proves my point.
You commented on the symptom, I identified the cause.

It's either You/Republicans or THEM/Democrats...

You have no other choice. Neither do they. You have to hate each other and you do.

A multi-party system of a minimum of 3-5 parties would insure no SINGLE-party stranglehold and all the parties would be forced to work together, be accountable to the people and not simply serve themselves or their sponsors.

Want another prime example of the fundamental flaw in two parties endlessly bickering back and forth, stalemating issues and failing to serve the public (not corporate lobbyists) needs?

The fact that the US government & even the military is split into a minimum of 3 'parties' ... So no one segment has too much control.

You took the term 'YoYo' personally but I used the term euphemistically, while your reply had an entirely different meaning.
To be clear...if you do in fact blindly support any party without question, you ARE a YoYo, in every meaning.

I personally do not believe that a system where you have two choices, consistently coming down to the 'lesser of two evils' and where we waste over a BILLION dollars just for the process ... works.

Think of where the US & the World would be if instead of perpetually fighting or pitting one party against another we actually supported actual democracy.
Not by the Corporation, for the Lobbyist, or by the [Party-Name], for the [Party-Name] but actually by the People, for the People.

Gee, where have I heard that before?

I've sent this privately to continue the discussion there, if not here.
I can appreciate your perspective, and I'm not yanking your string ... I simply do not agree with it.
