MGS4: Guns of the Patriots

I thoght it would only be fitting if the first Sony thread was devoted to Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots - a shoe in to contend with GTA4 for 2008's video game of the year award.

I personally can't wait - it's the only game I could see myself wanting to play when I purchased a PS3, as far as exclusives are concerned, and I threw down my $90 for the limited edition, no research, no questions asked. And the day is finally approacing - June 12th, 10 years to the day since the release of Metal Gear Solid on the original Sony Playstation - a truly groundbreaking experience.

Well, 10 years and 2 games later, we're finally here - the 4th and final installment. All this technology, all this concentration on plot and cinematics, the improvement in gameplay, the addition of online....

..... PS3 owners, I think we're in for a treat.

Contend? If it doesn't unseat it, I'd be surprised.

3 more days. can't wait!

forgot about Snake!?! Unpossible...

I have a feeling you won't be forgetting again for a loooong time after Thursday.

I won't be sleeping Wednesday night, already took Thursday off

Ill be nussled tight in my bed. Im passing on this one

I'll be picking up the MGS bundle tomorrow after work.

I've got my lawn chair out now. Just called Best Buy and they've got a line forming already, 3.5 hours until midnight, headed there now.

Did I mention it's raining? This is the only game I would ever do this for.

Wow... I feel like all major video game reviewers need to re-invent their scoring systems after playing this game - it's not on the same level as other games that have gotten 10/10, it's just not. I can't possibly say anything else at the risk of ruining the experience - which is truyly amazing.

Really? Way better 10/10 than GTAIV?

Yes, that's what I mean, all the other games in the past three years that have been given a 10/10 aren't deserving of it anymore if and when this game gets 10/10. I loved Gears of War, many of you know that as I've argued how deserving it was of a perfect score many times - well, after playing MGS4, I can honestly say GoW deserved maybe a 9.0. GTA4 is in the same boat here, maybe a 9.0.

This game truly defines perfection. Online is a TOTALLY unnecessary addition - this game offers more content than any I've ever played.

I would have guessed this score before I was 5 minutes into the game. Most deserving 10/10 GameInformer has ever given.
