GOONL!NE: "A year to the day since Metal Gear Solid 4 was released worldwide, does the game still hold up to be not just one of the finest games on the PS3 or this gen, but of all time?"

1 - Wow
This time last year I was playing MGS4 after getting it at mid-night. That feels like yesterday. I know that I will be doing tomorrow. Play MGS4 again.

Yes, please. Add trophies.

But we got to admit, with or without trophies, this is one heck of a game to experience.
I've been waiting for trophies to replay the campaign, and even get into the online multiplayer, but I think it will celebrate it's birthday inside my PS3... With me.

1.4 - Happy Anniversary MGS4.
You're still the best game that I've ever played on my PS3.

Thanks Kojima/Kojima Productions.

Any addition of trophy support would simply be icing on the cake.

Still the best game this gen... Which game can beat that? Only one game 'could' surpass MGS4 overall, and thats Uncharted 2.. I think U2 will be outstanding as a Action Adventure, but MGS4 is more a epic drama with emotions, never seen in a video game before..

Damn, the PS3 exclusives are too good..

lol, Kojima is just the producer of Metal Gear Rising, he is NOT the director! So it will be not a masterpiece! Its just a f*cking spin off with another director.. Could become a crap game.. could.. ;-)

1.13 - I still play it
But I only play it about once a month, so I still haven't beaten it.

I bet you I'm one of very few people who has owned the game for a year and still not beaten that.

come to think of it - I have LOTS of video games I've never beat before. Hmmm... guess it's a trend with me.

Still playing Metal Gear Online to this day. Best online experience ever for me, but the one thing I would fix is it needs dedicated servers. Nothing ticks me off more than laggers in ANY online game.

Go back to Kuwait with your swine flu dial up scrubs! >:D

Indeed,it's one of the best games of all time.

This is why gamers feel a bit disappointed that Kojima isn't working on the next console Metal Gear.

Seeing how so many like to take a qoute and run with it, he is focusing on the PSP version as stated. He then mentions that the news will come about come next E3. I am pretty sure we will know that Kojima will be invovled by then. But know one cares to simply wait. You got to be "that guy" that makes the ignorant comments that get made.

Kojima will release the PSP Metal Gear soon, and what do you think will Kojima do after that? ^^ Yeah, new Metal Gear for PS3.. I think its already in the works..

"Hideo Kojima has explained that he will not be directing development of Metal Gear Solid Rising, but will instead concentrate on the newly announced PSP game."

"I'm not the director. I'm not doing game design either."-Hideo Kojima

I'd love to hear you defend your moronic comment,I'm sure you're going to cling on the fact that he's going to be the associate producer on the game :) ?

Actually I didn't get owned

Kojima said: “I’ll be working more deeply on the project then a normal producer.”

This is why I said people need to STFU taking a qoute and running with it.

Good game yeah, great? no chance it would have been great if the second half was as good as the first but after act three it lasts about an hour if you skip the cut scenes. Loved the final boos fight on top of the war ship tho

Hahaha, I played the game on hard the first time, and I had so much trouble with Vamp and Liquid. After "defeating" Vamp 3 times and he ressurected himself 3 times I was like "HOW THE F*CK DO I KILL YOU?!" And then I rememberd Naomi saying something about the syringes and how they are nano surpressors or something like that. And then I got the MF.

9 - Hands down..
the greatest game to be released this generation. Easily a masterpiece to go down in the history books as one of the best games of all-time. I'm bummed the next console MGS will most likely not feel like a "real" MGS.. but I guess it's all the more reason to buy a PSP soon for Peace Walker.

God of War or Gears of War?

Gears of War would be GeOW... I'm assuming he means God of War. Both because of the proper abbreviations, and because God of War 2 is a superior game to Gears of War 2, imho.

lol You lost or something?

GoW = God of War

The God was first and he hath spoken.

@jkoz

I have never understood (or used) the "GeoW" acronym. Gears is way clearer and only 1 letter more.

12 - I recently played through again
I played it through and finished it about 2 weeks ago, but only the second time since I got it.

It's awesome. Probably the most involving game anyone will ever play. Not many games rope you into the story and characters like this one.

13 - mgs is far from being the greatest
My friend played all 4 metal gear solid's and said although they were good they are mediocre at best. Seriously there is only so much a single person can do. How many times has snake saved the world? and people still believe those games are realistic, pffft. The only appealing thing i see in mgs4 are the graphics and true gamers know graphics arnt everything.

So you obviously haven't played the games yourself, and are going on what your douchebag friend says? Good job. Smart, this kid.

Gee, I wonder what 'JohnnyHalo' thinks is the best? LMAO
