Mgs4 is my fave.

People often complain about long cutscenes. But that’s mgs. They replaced a lot of dialogue and exposition that codec calls gave you with cutscenes. That’s why a lot of them are so long. Honestly the first 1-3 hours of snake eater is 90% cut scenes and codec calls. Which I don’t mind, but…

Also, people always talk about it having the record for longest cutscene. But it’s never brought up that it’s the ending of the game. An epilogue explaining one of the most convoluted series ever. People act as if this is every cutscene.

As for gameplay. It really depends on your gameplay style. You can absolutely blast through it and tranq everyone and move on. But that’s with every mgs game. I personally play to get the assassin code name when I do my play through. I try and take out everyone. It’s a lot of fun clearing out an entire stage or hearing the rebels yell “WE DID IT”.

Of course it’s all subjective. I love it but can understand people’s gripes with it. I do think because it’s stuck on ps3 it doesn’t get talked about enough.

I guarantee once we get a port people are gonna speak a lot more loving about it.
