TBH - I don't thin games should be rated 10/10, the 9.6/10 from the Dutch magazine seems much more 'real' to me (no, it's not because I'm Dutch as well) I just don't think you can pull off a perfect game.

Didn't like the 10/10 with Halo 3, GTA4 and still not liking it with MGS4.

However, it still confirms the 'fact' that it is one hell of a game and certainly approaching perfection. So I'm not going to whine about it anymore... just my thoughts really quickly :p

9.6 doesn't say anything either.

10 = perfect

9.6 = Almost perfect, so close to being perfect that if you round up this number then its perfect....

I think they should just use round numbers, give it a 9 or a 10, the decimals dont mean anything...

* PlayStation Official Magazine (UK): 10/10

* PlayStation Official Magazine (US): 10/10

* PlayStation Official Magazine (Italy): 10/10

* PlayStation Official Magazine (Dutch): 9.6/10 <-- Somebody must've been fired :laugh:

* Level (Sweden): 10/10

* Joypad (France): 19/20

Well, the Jeuxvideo and Joypad magazines rating were lower in fact. :p

-They describe the gameplay as being perfect. It plays very refined and extremely nice.

-The combination of a wide gameplay, brilliant AI and fantastic design leads to previously unknown brilliant highlights. They consist of 'old school' situations were you go through bases and small corridors and options that get offered by the new generation (battlefields).

-The review describes the graphics as the best ones he ever saw in game. Not just about the detail in the models, but the total package of facial expressions and animations, enviroments and the number of details that every other game of this generation should be jealous about.

-MGS4 is much more then a game, more then just finishing levels. It's an experience, a closure of a legendary epos, one with about 50% of great cutscenes, very strong dialogue and not to forget: emotion. Maybe I'll create a better view of this when I say that after 3 days of playing I looked behind and I saw grown-up men really crying during the credits. Normally I would call them crazy, but this time I respected it, cause even this machoman was sad after finishing the storyline that had me in it's power for so long.

Exacly for that reason Kojima deserves credit. The way the story is told, the way the plot takes a few last, very special turns; the way in which the trusted characters did their last trick; the way the motives finally fell into place and on top of this all: the tragic hero that finally takes care of his ultimate destiny.

-The way the gameplay is combined with the storytelling raises this game way above each other media experience. This is so much deeper then and experience through books or movies, so much deeper then other games. This is the true power of Metal Gear Solid: Guns Of The Patriots.

OMG 16 days to go!

I really can't wait, I just know I'm going to love it, I loved the others.

I think people should stop thinking 10/10 is a perfect game, no game will ever, ever, be perfect there will always something that can be improved upon or something someone somewhere will not like.

10/10 should be seen as a highest standard, and a must get game that excels at what it does.

it is all a matter of opinion in the end.

But either way, MGS4 is going to be EPIC! :D

GamePro: MGS4 is without a doubt, one of the greatest games of all time

Gamepro 5/5

Every once in a long while, a game will come along and change all the rules. Final Fantasy VII transformed the RPG genre, Resident Evil helped create a new sub-category of gaming--survival horror--and Grand Theft Auto III single-handedly reshaped the gaming landscape.

And now comes Metal Gear Solid 4, a game whose potential influence on the current state of gaming is nothing short of tectonic.

"This is video game storytelling at it's absolute best, and represents a new high watermark for the craft, easily surpassing the superb Bioshock and the subversive GTA4"
"Metal Gear Solid 4 is a brilliant, moving, exciting, intense action game that succeeds hugely at everything it sets out to do. It sets new standards for graphics, sound, gameplay and storytelling, and it may be years before it is equaled, let alone passed. You will not play a better game this year - let alone this decade. If you own a PS3, buy this game the day it comes out. And if you don't own a PS3, well, you better start saving your nickels and dimes."

:drool:

Could be my GOTY!

JESUS CHRIST, i know its good but not 'genre-defining' good, i really hope it lives up to this expectations, wow.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      By ad47uk · Posted

      Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
