anybody else enjoying mgs4 right now?
just started new run on big boss hard, act one is great so far.
the level design here is pretty good it seems, mgs 5 is no where close.
There are a few things they could have fleshed out more but this feels like an actual metal gear game compared to 5.
I love the hi-tech feel of it too. I think that is what the original metal gear solid was all about.

I haven't touched it in a short while now, but I did start a BBH non-lethal stealth run like a year ago. Things went very smooth as well, and I think I got all the way to the South America already. Trying to get past enemies, instead of just ramboing past obstacles, makes the experience so much more exciting and plain fun.

Doesn't deserve all the hate it gets desu. Some of the greatest and most memorable moments in gaming are in this game. Notably shadow moses nostalgia bomb and ocelot boss fight. Big boss return and that whole ending scene was pretty cool too if you had just played MGS3.

>this feels like an actual metal gear game
This so fucking much. All the people who parrot that MGS4 is garbage, didn't actually play it. The cutscenes were long but the game play was good. PW and V are not MGS games.
Beat it last week just wondering if you can out the beauti's non lethal before they come out of their shell.

I loved the gun porn. Even if I didn't use 90% of them, I had a blast collecting weapons.
>>320319295
>but the game play was good
No, not really. I've never understood this defense of the game and I surely never will. The game play was not good at all.
No, not even the first two acts. The only decent part is the beginning of Act 5.
>/v/ suddenly likes MGS4, and hates MGSV
The cycle seems to apply to every series
I honestly love all the Metal Gear games. V could have had more time and focus and 4 could have had less retardation but they're both still far and away better than 99% of video games.

>PW was my first MGS
back to bed, kiddie
There will never be a full MGS remake from 1 to 4 using the Fox engine.
>>320319458
Me too. One of the many reasons I love MGS4 and PW.
>>320319619
Now WHY wasn't the gameplay good in your opinion? IMO, the controls were damn great and responsible, and you had plenty of ways to act in different situations.
I found the experience actually to get a bit worse towards the end, with the tiny increase in quality at the Shadow Moses.

My first Metal Gear was Metal Gear Solid. Try again.
I don't even care for PW much either. But MGS4's game play is a mess from start to finish even if it has good ideas and some nice controls.
The best part in MGS IV for me was when you battled Liquid with Rex.
>>320319914
>game play is a mess from start to finish
It's a direct improvement from the game play of 2 and 3. You don't even have to go through 10000 menus to change your camo anymore.
>My first Metal Gear was Metal Gear Solid
That's obviously a lie to save face
>>320319772
Because there's no real sneaking. The first two acts are just glorified set pieces where Snake just casually walks through a punch of action that doesn't really give much of a shit about him one way or the other. It was an interesting idea let down by limitations and weak level design that emphasized being a setting over something interesting for the player to navigate. Gekko were neat, I guess. Snake is pretty overpowered anyway. Tons of weapons and ammo, the game's pretty easy to shoot through. CQC is also just as bullshit as it was in MGS3 (and as of MGSV remains bullshit). And of course there's the Octocamo which drags it all that much closer to Boringville.
The other acts have had their shittiness assessed time and time again, but if you really like them I can't stop you. I agree on the controls though.

>That's obviously a lie to save face
No, you're just not very good at arguing and think people disagreeing means they're "kiddies."
I think 4 is dogshit even though (save for the MSX games and Ghost Babel which I played later) I played the games in release order. Get over it.

>presented no counter argument besides that you feel the game is shit
>hurr you're bad at arguing
ok, son
>>320320808
See >>320320554 "son."
>>320320554
Act 3 is objectively the worst act in the game, the first two are fine.
>Snake is pretty overpowered anyway. Tons of weapons and ammo, the game's pretty easy to shoot through
>playing lethal and on easy
>complaining the game wasn't difficult at all
2/10
MGS4 is a lot like Return of the Jedi, when it's great, it's really great, when it's bad, it's the worst in the series
>>320319629
this!
>>320321118
Even if you gimp yourself there's little tension most of the time thanks to CQC, so I'm not sure what your point is. I could make the game really difficult by grinding my testicles across the analog sticks if I wanted, but that doesn't make the game good.

Anyone else feel that MGS4's levels are a little too short? I really wish it focused on one or two locations like in the previous iterations
>>320319629
when did /v/ even like MGSV? It's pretty much consensus that it's disappointing as fuck.
>>320321312
>"gimping" yourself
>not playing for the big boss emblem
>willingly run and gunning
back to call of duty
>>320321731
I'm not "willingly" running and gunning. I'm pointing out the obvious fact MGS4 is terribly unbalanced and poorly designed. It has all of MGS3's problems (and then some) but without any of its great parts.
Also
>Tells me to go back to Call of Duty
>Defends a game that was extremely accessible to Call of Duty players compared to previous games and has very little decent sneaking
Cute.
