Re: This or That: Metal Gear
MGS4 was a piece of garbage... maybe not completely. The one thing they failed to do was make a metal gear game. They tried to put in too many elements and the world got to big. They should have kept it to one broad location and tried to pack in as much as they could. Of all the metal gears it has the least gameplay. I mean you can do a speed run in less time but the only thing that holds you up is waiting in Act 3 for a whistling man who is supposed to be inconspicuous. They had an interesting control scheme but one that wasn't really utilised. All the quirky elements were exhausted by act 1 and then it felt like it was on auto pilot to hurry and finish it. I think the best example is hiding in the garbage cans. They obviously had a vision that they'd use the controller put elements like that in the game throughout but somewhere along the way it turned into running great distances and watching three people say things in an aeroplane that had nothing to do with the next set of events which were always "get to this red dot on your map".
I personally like MGS3 the best because it has a good feel to it. You can see the journey of big boss and the changing environments is pretty cool to see. There's a lot of additional content and areas and it ties together pretty well considering it was on a system that was pretty old.
