Sin duda una de las joyitas de kojima vaya putisimo pedazo de videojuego dios mio
Some of the best cinematics ever conceived in a video game, and a satisfying end to both Solid and Big Boss’s story.
Otacon be like “his bitch got a gyat I hit her with rizz”

This review contains spoilers
I am so fucking confused bro
MGS4 is a weird game because I really liked it but also I fully understand almost every complaint I've heard. The gameplay to cutscene ratio is hilarious, the first 2 acts are great whilst the latter 3 dip bit by bit, thebosses are great but only few are as memorable as bossfights from the first and the game itself doesn't run very well. The story is impressively coherent considering what it was working with and does a good job at rounding up old loose ends while making new ideas and twists enjoyable, but it can be a bit weird at times with certain things like 'nanomachines' just becoming a deus ex machina for whatever the story needs. Also certain important stuff isn't touched upon enough and leaves you with questions more than answers, answers that are only partially available in the game with the true lore being hidden in some database app on the ps3 that is luckily archived on the internet. But most of the present-ish stuff like Snake's relationship with Liquid and Ocelot is well handled and satisfyingly concluded
Despite all these complaints there is a lot to like, plenty of new mechanics are added to polish the already enjoyable gameplay of the first 3 such as crouch-walking, more complex CQC, even better camouflage and the most intuitive MGS control scheme to date. Also the living battlefield idea was excellent and made me completely gripped by the first 2 acts of the game. The concept that stealth doesn't have to mean quiet and you can influence this dynamic moving set piece is fascinating, however it doesn't much exist in the last 3 acts. I understand why this may not appeal to certain die-hard fans who want a core MGS stealth game and I thought that would be answered in Act 4 which comes across as the most promising yet, until you discover there's no REAL enemies and the games one chance to hold some of its old DNA is squandered. There are still gems in these last few acts, I only really disliked 1 boss fight out of the games 7 proper ones and 2 of the late game ones are super cool and well made, also even in the lower parts of the game it looks great even for a 16 year old game and the level design is for the most part pretty good.
I didn't dislike MGS4 but it frustrated me how close it came to greatness sometimes only to fall at the last hurdles, I can understand why people say this is one of the weakest in the series but I still think its an absolute jam regardless and I'm probably only as harsh on it because of the standard set by 1-3.
In some regards its the best MGS game but in others its the worst. However from a climactic point this is a fantastic end of an enthralling saga.
8/10
P.S. I take major issue with how it tries to connect 3 and 4, I can believe that perhaps Zero and Big Boss became 'villains' through their disagreements and disillusion with the Boss' dream, however Sigint and Para-Medic being straight up 'evil' is poor writing. It comes across as an attempt to make the games more connected but undermines two characters that were clearly designed to be likeable and positive. I struggle heavily to believe the nice, basketball loving, weapons guy from Snake Eater turned into a corrupt, populace controlling military leader who took massive bribes for the development of world-ending technology AND the equally lovable survival and health expert turns into a deceitful mad scientist who betrayed Big Boss and immorally cloned him (she literally said she doesn't condone it) and also captured and experimented on Gray Fox for 4 years, completely mutilating his body. I think its a stupid decision that both these characters were an entire façade for the entirety of MGS3 with no hint to ulterior motives when DARPA Chief and the doctor beyond Les Enfant Terrible could've easily just been their own separate characters. They could still have both been members of the Patriots just being convinced by Zero (their CO) about its benefits for society.

Um verdadeiro filme.
Make no mistake, most people believe this is a Movie, but in actuality this is more like a Litmus Test, specifically crafted as to identify and discriminate between those who are gifted with the ability to enjoy fun things that are fun and the poor peasants who probably haven't even played this game in the first place, and just ended being mere parrots of the zeitgeist (Youtube Video Essayist).
If you happen to be among the former group of people, like yours truly, then I'm positive you're cursed with an High I.Q. and your life is one of hardships, but do not fret! As at the very least, you're one of the lucky Pals or Gals who has actually played one of the finest games to be released back in the late 2000s.
As for everybody else... I just hope you'll one day be able to play experience MGS4 for yourselves and realize how wrong both you, and the Youtube Bad Opinion factory were. If you happen to be one of the few who has actually played this and yet still thinks the zeitgeist is correct, I'm afraid there is no hope left for you in this world. May whichever deity you believe in have mercy upon your wretched soul, Amen!

Good movie
you would think this would be the perfect haha funny movie game put down the controller but its still such a unique experience that you cant quite compare it to anything its like a must "play" for people interested in metal gear as a whole its more to love and has a great send off to the franchise even if V still exists after it
My favorite movie video second to ff16
chorei diversas vezes
Gracias por todo el Fan Service maestro Kojima
I mean, Octocamo is bananas.
This game has quite the controversial reputation, at least when compared to the other games. But, as the end of such a long running series, it's just perfect. So emotional all the way through, the final hour and a half of the game was just me crying the whole time. That being said, I don't think it has QUITE the impact of MGS1 and 3 for me, but it's right behind them.
johnny my crohns king 💪💪
This game has a lot of high highs and a lot of low lows and is extremely up it's own ass in a lot of ways that are good and bad. I've never played this before, but I've watched other people play it many times over, and I think playing it for myself has given me an overall greater appreciation for what it is.
That being said I have one big criticism, besides the fact that the people behind this game don't know how to write women, but I think everyone can agree on that point. And that criticism is that it is trying to be political but comes off half-baked in it's beliefs. The game understands (in excuciating detail) a lot of what is wrong with the world and it knows the only way we can truly improve is to move beyond capitalism. But what does it think that system should be replaced with? An uncommitted shrug and platitudes about how the next generation can figure it out. It's very baby boomer liberal in that sense.
This is also a game where a cyborg ninja can use a sword with it's feet and you can accidentally break the dick off a statue and the villain makes his submarine secret base look like a replica of mount rushmore except it has the faces of the man he loved and his three terrible adult sons, but that's neither here nor there.

The cutscene at the end of this game just before the last fight is so glorious that the game gets five stars just for that.
This game is the exact opposite of a passion project—it's a meticulously crafted hate project. Bravo Kojingus.
9 hours of cutscene
Sony is scared. Kojima has made a game so Intense and profound. That they're keeping it on the PS3 cuz there scared of the game. That's what I'm going for why they haven't ported it.
One of the best video games experience I've ever had that's all I'm saying.

The best way to end a video game series. It's highly entertaining because of the story about making sense of MGS 2 and 3, and delivers the best finale in a video game in history.
this is Marvel Cinematic Universe Fanservice the "video game". but i fuck with that. cause I fuck with metal gear.
Kinda the perfect mix of modern and MGS style graphics. Cutscenes are way to long and frequent though. What're they filming a movie or something??
I cried everytime
lindo final de uma genial franquia
"I'm just an old killer...hired to do some wet work."
Inevitable that the game was polarising, it is divisive for the same reasons as MGS3 being a success: the games exist as reactions to one another. If MGS3 capitalises on James Bond pastiche and the thrill of the stealth, MGS4 is a tired old man existing in a world where the iconography prior is reduced to nothing. It is clearly such a late-period film the same way Scorsese operates in The Irishman or Eastwood's reflections in Unforgiven only without an absolutely condemnation of its protagonist. An immensely sad (yet ultimately hopeful) work about a bunch of old western men attempting to find a home and purpose in a world which is not only moving past them but ultimately also shedding the skin of valor and excitement of the nature of war.
Perhaps it all clicked when as opposed to do the heavy stealth and strategy required for MGS3, I enter the field regurgitating the same series of actions with ease in order to profit and buy...more bullets. There is no more libidinal quality to violence, just scrapping by to pull myself to the next day.

Who the hell is Nicola and Bart
I bought a PS3 just to play this, and it was pretty worth it.
Even though it only has 30% gameplay this game by far had one of the greatest stories I've ever played.
