"PS3 A Sinking Ship"

[Living-In-Clip]

MGS4 was far from a great game. There is a reason it has made every single " dissapointment  of 2008" list. I bought it and took it back the next day. It was full of Kojami yanking it and trying to be a director, instead of actual gameplay.

I got bored of the MGS4 single player after about an hour of playing it (read: 15 minutes of me actually controlling the character); HOWEVER, I hear the multiplayer kicks 8 different kinds of ass.  I just can\'t exactly afford to be buying games since my company more or less just folded yesterday (luckily i go back to school in a week).

And I really don\'t give a damn.
The game sucked. It was cinema after cinema. That\'s not a game. It\'s just Kojima jacking off to himself. It is the only game that I ever bought that made me actually want to burn the game. It was just complete and total trash and Kojima should be ran out of the industry for producing such complete shit.

^ Proof of idiocy right there, emo boy.

Where\'s your proof? All I see is opinions.

What I love to see is all these dorks try and excuse a crappy storyline (see: all MGS\'s). It\'s a crappy story and Kojima was given way to much control. He\'s always stated he wanted to be a film director, but failed at it. So what happens? Konami lets him take a franchise and go crazy with it. At best, MGS(1) was a decent game, but after that the franchise has just spiraled downwards. It\'s only because a select group of total asshats and dorks,help  to excuse Kojami\'s self wanking that this franchise has stayed afloat.



Keep trolling, G. It\'s all your good at.

Yes, the cinema scenes were long and numerous and at times boring, but if we\'re talking exclusively about gameplay it was outstanding.

Sony has a lot of fixing to do, but they\'re not going away.  They are not going to "SEGA" their hardware.

Symptoms of a company going in the shitter include: releasing ridiculous peripherals to extend the life of your console (32x/Sega CD), changing the release date of a system so that you can beat another to the market and in effect alienating all of your third party developers (Saturn), releasing another console shortly thereafter to compensate for your mistakes (Dreamcast).

Yes, I know I\'m bashing Sega, but it was to illustrate a point that although sales aren\'t great Sony is not diverging from its original business plan.  They are not making drastic changes to try and fix things.  It\'s called riding the wave, and they\'re doing it.

A long boring cinema is enough to ruin a game.

skip movie?

Skip the movie and ignore the story line?
Brilliant. Skip most the game, have no clue what is going on and enjoy the rest.

It\'s retarded suggestions such as that, that have killed games. We\'ve turned them into interactive movies at best and that is a piss poor way to do games. The best games are ones that can blend story / humor in with gameplay. A good example on the PS3 is Rachet and Clank. It has story and humor and does not need a 90 minute cinema.  There are plenty of great games that don\'t take forever to tell such a piss poor story.

While I did enjoy MGS4... I couldn\'t agree more with this.


And the dialogue was just horrible. Maybe something lost in translation but seriously all solid snake ever did was repeat what someone said to him as a question. ALL... Game.... Long.


ocelot: its metal gear!
snake: metal gear?
ocelot: metal gear is back!
snake: its back?
ocelot: we have do go so some stuff!
snake: some stuff?


That\'s my MGS4 25min cut scene.

That\'s another thing that\'s good about Fallout 3.
 
ZERO movies / cutscenes.
 
The closest thing it has is the dialogue sections that set up the quests.  At least you have a little bit of control over those by choosing what questions to ask.

If only it were a little longer.

And that is exactly my problem with the MGS series. Kojima can be a good game when he remembers that he is making a game, not some kind of movie. Instead, he wants to makes games that are long for no other reason, than they have 90 minute cut scenes that could be cut down in no time.

As talented as Kojima is, he really needs someone above him to cut his ideas down.]

I need to give Fallout 3 another shot. I lost interest in it quickly, which I find odd, because I loved Oblivion. Been playing a lot of WOTLK and Dead Space.

LIC = resident troll

I rarely sound off over other\'s opinions. But when I play your game, you call me a troll? Please.
