Overreact much?

I made a mistake and then clarified my mistake. Get over it.

You clarified it after he made that comment about you being stupid.

"It's so far ahead of its competition that its competitors seem downright pathetic - regardless if they're called Gears of War, Splinter Cell or Halo 3. "

How come no Playstation franchises ( ok maybe Splinter Cell) are mentioned?

Bias, obviously.

Playstation doesn't have many standout military shooter franchises. Except maybe Socom, but that's mostly about multiplayer.

Resistance, Syphon Filter?

But anyways I love that MGS4 is getting great review. Day 1 for me.

 

[akachan ningen]

Resistance, Syphon Filter?

Oh yeah, forgot about syphon filter. Shows how much that game is on anyone's mind. :lol

 

[Thrakier]

Resistance, Syphon Filter?

Resistance has much lower scores than gears or halo which are considerd to be bigger or more triple a. And Syphon Filter is a joke, is it?

GoW and H3 are 2 of the most praised shooters of this generation, and SC has always been MGS' main competition (according to the media atleast).

2 biggest action games of this gen + MGS's "rival." Don't see the big deal here.

Edit:

Psycho Mantis?!

Resistance, Syphon Filter?

Rasistance has never been aknowladged by main stream media and Syphon Filter is kinda under the radar.

The PSP game is awesome.

[antiloop]

Not bad. (read parts from the review)

 

[AAK]

What were their complaints? Did they mention if there were any plotholes in the story? How was the framerate?

 

[Lakitu]

Not bad. (read parts from the review)

Can anyone post some summaries please?

 

[[HP]]

I guess once you play MGS4, every game is shit. :lol

PS3 has a little shooter called call of duty 4 also.

 

[Phantast2k]

Game of the æon indeedly

 

[Mechar]

Anyway, just out of curiousity what's on the cover of this issue of LEVEL? I know they're the magazine that had that amazing Mega Man cover art.

The cover on this issue is Lich King from the uppcoming WoW expansion. They got to play an early Alpha of the game. Probably the same one as GFW did.

And that Mega Man you were talking about, they posted a story about it at Kotaku. That cover really was and still is awesome. In the editorial, Tobias Bjarneby (editor in chief) talks about all the work they put in to get that exclusive cover.

I might as well also post another spectacular one from another swedish magazine that I subscribe to, Super PLAY. This is their cover 3 issues ago. This one´s also exclusive to the subscribers. Sam and Max in all their glory...

 

[Shinz Kicker]

this media blackout is getting really hard for mgs4. but its heartening to know the good scores are rolling in.

 

[Tom Penny]

No summary of the game?

I haven´t got my hands on the latest issue, since I don´t subscribe to it. It will be hitting newsstands tomorrw here in Sweden, but Seiken is probably your man if you´re looking for some information regarding the review.

 

[Mrbob]

I'm glad to hear the final installment of Solid Snake's saga has turned out great.

I have to say I'm a bit surprised at all the 10s, but after playing MGS3 I shouldn't be. June is going to be such an amazing month.

It is odd to hear MGS4 being referred too as an action game. Not that I'm complaining, because I would prefer it if the games action ratio to stealth ratio is higher than the previous MGS games.

 

[dralla]

these quotes sound like they were written by a teenager on his blog, are they really quotes from the review?

 

[KZObsessed]

That's almost a spoiler.



I :'( at the end.

Shut up I've not played it yet! :lol

I like sad endings so that's actually good to know.

 

[Plinko]

Check the post order again--my clarification was up a minute before his dumbass comment.

Back on topic--glad to see the game getting such great reviews.

 

[watership]

"Touching" is not how I would like MGS described.

It depends on how serious you take the series. Some people watch the end of MSG3 and cry. Some watch the same scene and laugh at it's cheese.

the guy sounds very excitable
(taken from the forum):

K81: There the guy from PSM says that this generation starts with MGS.

Pär Villner: Couldn't have said it better myself. It's like when Super Mario 64 was released

Army_Reserve: It's really that good Perre?

Pär Villner: It's undescribable.


@plinko jeez i apologised already what more can i do

[Dabookerman]

What in gods name. I really am starting to worry about these comments. Yes, I will be blown away by MGS4 in terms of story, sound and graphics. Gameplay wise, I sort of know what to expect, and with comments like these, makes GTA, Halo, Gears the bitches of MGS4.

I fucking hope so.

Okay that's a bit much. I'm happy with MGS4 hype, don't turn it into hype that makes GTAIV's hype look measured

This guy also reviewed Grand Theft Auto IV. He was all over that game to.

 

[Rapping Granny]

Ooh boy this game has the best chance to knock out GTA4 from the gamerankings this year. GTA4 droped down to 97%.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

It'll be credible when I see 11

Well they gave Iron Man 2 so it sounds credible :lol :lol

 

[Red Blaster]

I'm fine with hype but I hope it's actually merited, unlike GTAIV.

 

[Yoshichan]

No summary of the game?

Sorry, I'm not going to read the review (media blackout). Someone else with the issue, don't forget to spoiler mark!

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

well... this game has the potential to make me cry so...

 

[bPod]

No surprise there at all. I am dying to play this!!!

 

[Johnas]

I had recently been telling myself that this game would be amazing, but it wouldn't have the emotional impact of MGS3's ending. Now I'm starting to think it has that and then some.

It does suck, but I think I'm gonna take that as fair warning to go ahead and bail out on the internet sooner than I had planned. Not sure when exactly. I've got plenty of games to keep me busy.

Everything should be cool once the official thread goes up. There's apparently going to be very harsh spoiler rules put in place for it.
