I think they should turn it around. I don't want to see movies in my games, they should make a movie of how I play games!

So Konami doesn't want reviewers to mention the 90 minute cutscenes, the grotesque install size, and other items if they want to review MGSIV?

EGM said, "Screw that! We got journalistic integrity over here. Keep your damn MSGIV." Well done EGM.

sounds kinda corrupt to me, good on EGM! This makes me lose a lot of respect for IGN.....and anybody else who doesn't mention factors that will heavily influence the game and that should be mentioned in a review!

I do not and have not respected IGN in a long, long time.

But I don't respect EGM either. Enthusiast press is enthusiast press.

My boss at work thinks that Splinter Cell is what Metal Gear Solid should have been.

I personally don't see how that works since I spent a lot of my time in Splinter Cell restarting because one person saw me and all I had was a clip in a shitty handgun to waste on one person that was following me.

MGS has always been (to me) what it's advertised as. Tactical Espionage Action.

The action doesn't necessarily have to come from playing the game itself alone, because the action in most of the cutscenes have been superb since day 1 with Metal Gear Solid, and reinforced with the newer cutscenes in MGS:Twin Snakes.

The espionage element is good, and frustrating, as it should be, but not overbearing.

The only espionage gameplay I could stomach was in Golden Eye. Oh and I guess in Crysis.

Technically those really aren't espionage. I can understand why you consider them as such though. I learned that all FPS games aren't run and gun when I played F.E.A.R.

I can safely say after dedicating about 7 hours into it already that this game is definitely a step far away from your standard MGS tactical espionage.

You'd have to play it to understand. Ask BLue and Raged.

Well I'm personally glad Konami made all those rules. I went over a friend's house and he was a few hours into the game, and I had to leave immediately. I don't even want to say what I saw in 5 minutes of being there cause its such a huge spoiler in itself. I was thinking "how the hell did such a HUGE AWESOME fact get kept out of every review I had seen?"

I'm actually more a fan of MGS's story than I am of the gameplay. (Considering I absolutly love the gameplay, that's saying a lot.) So long CS are fine by me. And I love being able to read reviews being left in the dark about the game. I spproached MGS2 without reading any reviews, MGS3 with reading minimal ones. MGS1 without any.. and I think not knowing made them so much better.
