Its still a great game, I just don't believe its the best entry in terms of offering an overall package. I still prefer MGS3 overall.
As for Vivi22's comment, mostly snipers or an accidental run in with a Gecko usually equaled certain death. I honestly, never found the camo to be incredibly useful. It was more situational for me.
As for only helping the Rebels from the shadows Bolivar. I actually did try that and it seemed like 90% of the time they knew I was their guardian angel despite never being spotted. When you blow up the building in South America, I actually sneaked in there without being seen, blew the place up and somehow the rebels knew who I was when I tried to sneak out and got spotted. I had similar encounters in the Middle East section. I still think it would have been more interesting if you could actually get the PMCs to side with you, playing through Portable Ops, I've been having fun times sneaking into bases in plain sight as an ally.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
I loved the way you put that BolivarI know, it's like a woman with a juicy virginia ham under one arm and crying because she doesn't have any bread.
MGS4 was definitely my favorite in the series, for sure where first play through enjoyment is concerned. The utter intensity was just mind blowing. I probably liked MGS2 more than MGS3 because I wasn't really that good at sneaking through jungle & forest & I honestly didn't mind playing as Raiden rather than Snake purely because you got to see the main story arch as an outside observer being drawn into the thick of it.
MGS3 on the other hand did beat the pants off MGS2 in the story telling department. Getting to see how the whole mess started was nothing short of awesome. But I felt MGS4 did tie the whole story together very well despite being corny at times & having a tendency to drag on at times.I was happy with how everything panned out in the MGS story
I think the reason why alot of people were dissatisfied with MGS4's story telling is because Snake's story is at an end & its hard to let go of one of the greatest fictional heroes ever taught out. I do have my suspicions that Snake's involvement is far from over though given the fact that in Metal Gear Rising Raiden is still a cyborg ninja & that MGR may just turn out to be the story of what happened between MGS2 & MGS4 given that at the end of MGS4 Raiden has been made relatively human again. But at the same time is pure speculation on my part given Kojima has not mentioned anything about MGR in the storyline department as of yet!
you speculation about MGR does sound look like it's very possible. I was thinking that Raiden will just try and live a normal life after 4. Is that game still just 360 exclusive?
MGR was never a 360 exclusive, it was just announced by Microsoft at E3 because it's the first Metal Gear title on the 360.
EDIT: Just did a web search its Metal Gear Solid: Rising just to correct myself so MGSR not MGR. It will be released on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 & Microsoft Windows. No info yet where it fits chronologically into the MGS story.
