Thoughts on MGS4.

So, MGS4 is pretty good so far. I'm almost done with it. I'll probably be done tomorrow.

It got a 10.0 at Gamespot....I don't really agree with this. I thought Sons of Liberty was better. Don't get me wrong though, it's a great game. Sons of Liberty set the bar pretty high though. It's the standard at which all Metal Gear games are judged by...for me at least. I might even say Snake Eater was better then MGS4...but I'll reserve that comment until I see the ending of the story.

One thing that I don't like about MGS4 is that you can't go back to watch the cutscenes....but then again, you never have with any of the Metal Gear games, which I've always hated. Also, why the Japanese are so perverted is a mystery to me....I mean, sure I like boobs as much as the next guy. But, I don't really need to see cleavage on every single female character in the game. (Including the old ladies....) Also, whats up with their fascination with making characters with glasses push them up every five seconds? Is it supposed to make them look cool? Is it supposed to add drama to the scene? I don't wear glasses, but I'm pretty sure if you're having to push them up so frequently they probably don't fit and need to be adjusted.


The boss battles have been great though. I won't spoil anything, but veterans of the Metal Gear series will have a lot to look forward to and have plenty of nostalgic moments throughout MGS4.

One thing that I haven't decided is cool or not, is that after each Act you have to go through an installation of more game data. It only takes about 5 minutes after the first act then progressively less after the remaining acts. The initial game installation only took about 8 minutes...I guess this is due to the fact that it wasn't installing everything.

I kind of like this idea though. It might be cool for PC games.
