I liked it well enough until I got to the final stretch of chapters. Basically when the open world sort of ended and Kojima's storytelling took over. For all his Hollywood aspirations, he's far more skilled at crafting an enjoyable gameplay experience than writing a compelling narrative and characters.

Been a long time since I played 4. Just have to be in the right mood to play that game and the bazillion cutscenes. I’m a lot less patient now so don’t know if I’d have it in me
Honestly the best tip I can give you is skip all the cutscenes from chapter 1 and 2. Except the Drebin scenes and the intro. Every cutscene from chapter 3 onwards is brilliant. Yeah there’s a lot of cutscenesBeen a long time since I played 4. Just have to be in the right mood to play that game and the bazillion cutscenes.

. Had the best end fight imo. Two old legends beating the shite out of each other with the old music playing.Oh I love them and I love the story, it's just something you have to be in the mood forHonestly the best tip I can give you is skip all the cutscenes from chapter 1 and 2.

Microwave tunnel is still one of my favourite moments in gaming.
Skipping the cutscenes in MGS is like ordering a pizza and taking all the cheese and topping off. What's the point?
In mgs 4 they are looooong cutscenes. Especially with Naomi where she just talks bollocks for a full hour.
Of course they are. I still stand by my opinion. It's all part of the experience of a MGS game, imo. I have completed Guns probably 6 or so times. The only play-through where I didn't skip the cutscenes was when I was going for my Big Boss rank. Not entirely sure if the time requirement included cutscene time, to be honest, but it helped to keep me in the zone.
It's true. It felt separate entity on its own, which it's heavy focus on (brilliant) gameplay and more skeletal narrative. But I did really enjoy V for simply how it played. Also, I got it free on PS plays and have been pondering going back to it. It's just those repeating missions that put me off for a second play through.
But I do adore this series in general. The story telling, the hyper stylishness, the bosses etc it was just always a series that kept you on the edge of your seat and feeling like a child. Even 4 which I'm not sure is universally loved was an joy to play. I remember playing the demo (Olga!) of 2 repeatedly, it was as next gen as I've ever seen a game be.
Would love to see a proper old school MGS again but I suppose as far as new content, it's a series that's done.
You do make me laugh BojanWish they’d make a MGSIV remaster, would be really cool. I loved that game.
You still hate GTA?
The only one I ever really got into was Vice City. Never played V. May give 6 a go but in general they’re games that have just never really held my interest.
MGS 4 has aged the worst IMO.
...and i'm still salty at getting to 91% trophy completion on MGS4 and one trophy off the platinum before I just had to give up because it was getting too annoying

Which trophy could you not get? I didn’t even attempt the platinum as I knew I wasn’t good enough to get itMGS 4 has aged the worst IMO.

haven’t played it for maybe a decade now so can’t say how it’s aged but I can imagine it having aged the worst. Very tempted to dust off my PS3 and work my way through them all again.
I thought you hated playing old games. They should definitely remaster or remake some of the older games. Good old school stealth games are missing.
If I remember correctly it was either the one you get for collecting all music tapes or all codenames (or something along those lines) but there was one collectable that I was missing which required you to finish the game on the highest difficulty which was just too demanding and frustrating. I was so fatigued at that point that I had to quit. Never platinumed 2 either but did 3 and 5.
Still my proudest platinumMGS 4 has aged the worst IMO.

Omg
It means my sources were correct and they just porting MGS 1 and 2 to PC.
Your crappy rumour started by some YouTuber about the remake is just right now full of shit.
Watch this space.
1 does need to be remade though.
And wasn’t MGS already released for PC?
MGS HD collection is on PS Now so I’d imagine you can stream from PS5, yes.
But I am very tempted to get my PS3 out and play through them all again, I have MGS on there and then the HD collection
MGS 1 and 2 were already ported on PC when they released, but they were lost in digital form or something? So this is kinda re-port.
Also MGS1 was already remade and it was a great remake which still holds for me, why do people need second remake, remake after remake after remake.

Stream. Why would I want to do that? When I have them downloaded.
Look at Elvis getting his PS3 out. Is it the fat version?
I have the fat and the slim, the fat got YLOD so it’s been in a box since 2011.

And I am not getting a GameCube out to play a remake.
Why don’t you play Resistance whilst you at it. As it’s been ages since Sony released a good old shooter.
You don't have to, I play through it every now and then on the Dolphin emulator, just a few clicks away.
Also they can just re-release that remake remastered on current systems and PC like Resident Evil 1 Remake did.

Seeing this thread pop up, I just want to complain about the potential mgsv had if it actually had been finished. I think it would've been great if the game went full circle, tying into mg1 and your final mission being fighting against solid snake. That would've been a great tie in into remaking mg1 and 2.
MGS4 is great though in all its ridiculousness. I never managed to actually get the hang of the cqc.

I never played MG1 but would that have made sense?
Yes, in mg1 solid snake fights and kills big boss but then later big boss returns, it's basically retconned that the big boss snake killed in mg1 is venom snake.
I still see MGS4 as a new game.
It's closer to the release of the original than now
By several years

Apparently it's either a board game or MGS 2 remake
If I hear metal gear collection 1 through 4. I might just faint from excitement. It’s been too damn long that I haven’t played these games. My favourite games of all time.
MGS 2 still looks and plays really good. MGS 1 would be a better choice for a remake but I'd take anything really
