He has a point. The MGS series has one of the most passionate fanbases on not just 4chan but the entirety of the internet. The games almost all have a very lopsided non gameplay to gameplay ratio. Perhaps more so then any other action games of it's kind. MGS4 is by far the worst offense of this.

I also get this strange feeling that there are those amongst the fanbase that will lie and say ridiculous things to defend the game. In fact I believe there is a MGS fan liar in this thread right now.

MGS1 was also the founding father of the cinematic game. This cannot be debated since it popularized the worst aspects of modern gaming as we know it. Contrast this with id's idea on how Doom should be and it is very telling.

>> No.2897997

I wouldn't consider MGS overrated. At least not by normal people. There are of course the drones in the kojima defense force that will spin anything around to make a negative look like a positive. ie, "x is only shit because kojima DID THAT ON PURPOSE because he is le epic ruseman. 11/10"

Its almost as I can smell the rotten sweat of the homosexual cocksuckers who played this game.

Then again I always distanced myself from self-proclaimed geeks. It wouldnt be a hesitant moment if there was a button to brutally exterminate all those who favored MetalcuckGear Soliddildo as their main game.

PT is an RPG which puts it in a different class of people accepting bad gameplay.

Metal Gear Solid's story and goofy cutscenes are are all good fun, but it's the stealth exploration and action that is the real reason for why it's popular.

Yeah, we had dozen of 1x1 fighters before SF2 and 100% of them had critical problems with colision detection, clunky controls or both. That's why the game is so praised 30 years after its release and you don't see almost anyone talking about earlier titles in a serious tone ("heh, do you remember Pit Fighter? We played it so much but the game was shit xD), it was the first one who did things right and wasn't a lucky contest where if you had luck you could connect the attacks.

Tomb Raider and Quake have more in common with how 3D gameplay turned out it in the long run.

Kingdom Hearts

I don't care what your opinion is. As a born gamer and a fan of both Square soft (at the time) and Disney, I can rightfully say these two things should have never been combined. This is literally a game about the shift from kids to teenagers; the happy, bright lad gets his taste for the edgy life and just wants more.

Throw in the typical "cool" kid with straight hair and calm "I don't care" attitude that main young lad must aspire to be should he want to be accepted in highschool.

Woah, flipside! Everyone thinks they're special snowflakes! Throw in everybody's "heartless" (get the pun?), and the organization 13 (what a choice for a number, let's go with the most generic bad number possible) and dress everyone like GOTH KIDS.

At its face value it looks like a game, but it's not. This is actually an overly-complicated weapon crafting system disguised as a dungeon crawler.

The only bad thing in MGS1 in my opinion is that there are only like 25 enemies you encounter in the whole game. Levels could also be larger or in bigger quantities but that would probably cause more repetition. Also, I love that each MGS location is unique and has its own assets.
