it just didn't feel like mgs to me. the environments were boring to sneak around in, theres always a war going on. i dont really know how to explain it but play 3 then play 4 and you'll see the difference im talking about..

Yea, I felt the same way. My ranking of the games would have to be:

MGS 3
MGS
MGS4
MGS 2
yeah thats the order i'd probably put them in too. MGS was always my favourite game ever until GTA3 came out, but MGS3 became my favourite MGS game. never really got into MGS2 and 4 was okay in some parts i suppose

There was a lot lacking....but it was good. as much as I love this series. I don't think it deserves game of the year. Call of Duty 4 should take that.

my only real complaint with mgs4 is that it is too easy. too many gadgets to aid in knowing where soldiers are. takes the majority of stealth out of the game

to me its

MGS2
MGS4
MGS3
MGS

3 had too much self-management (healing, changing camos, eating, etc.) & in hindsight I didnt like how 1 had a fixed camera angle which made it tougher in comparison to the recent ones.

COD4 was good when it first came out, but it got boring after awhile. I never got into multiplayer since I was coming from Battlefield & it seems like whatever FPS you're accustomed to, you'll never like any other franchise. Halo fanboys like to stick to their controls, Quake, Unreal, etc....its all different so people will complain how it aint like their favorite.

Production wise there's no match, but you could point out if MGS4 was either a video game or a low budgeted CGI film since the hours of cutscenes outnumbered the actual gameplay.
Yeah I felt the same way about MGS 3 until I got Subsitence, which has the modern camera in it, and it makes the game 10 x better. You should try it if you haven't already.

i think half of you guys havent played it the way it was meant to be played. Play it on Big Boss Hard (i think thats it) try not to kill anyone or set off any alerts. When you go into any battlefield, dont help the rebels. You'll see the difference

^ thats exactly how i played it. i think my disappointment is down to the settings and locations the missions are based in rather than gameplay, they just dont feel metal gear solidy

Yea but then again, if a an open ended game has to be played a certain way jsut to be enjoyable, thats kinda a design flaw lol.
