Since you didn' t add the link to the Eurogamer review I thought I would add it

Eurogamer review


You' re sorry to see Snake go. But should you be? Guns of the Patriots is a frustrating, fractured game that turns Metal Gear Solid' s world upside down several times over, but never changes it. It just burrows deeper into what fans love and detractors hate than ever before, and it will make few converts. It' s a crying shame, given how many genuinely classic gaming moments there are here, given the countless exquisite creative touches, but Metal Gear Solid 4 is its own worst enemy. You could not ask for a funnier, cleverer, more ambitious or inspired or over-the-top conclusion to the Metal Gear Solid series, but it' s definitely time to move on.

We love you, Snake. Don' t come back.

Quznos you are a hater. I knew it was you that made this post before I read it.

8/10 is not bad at all.

I just read the Eurogamer review again and I didn' t find any real bad points except the ending and it doesn' t sound like he understood it

Even keen students of Metal Gear lore are going to struggle to follow this tangled tale. Laden with sentimental sermons and metaphors for the evils of war, struggling under the weight of the resolving the plots of four previous games and the personal destinies of characters as diverse as Raiden, Meryl, Naomi, Vamp and Eva, it is in all honesty a mess. Motivation and consistency fall by the wayside and by the end it' s totally unclear who is on which side, or what' s at stake. Maybe that' s deliberate, but it doesn' t work, and the hours of talking-head exposition involved are too steep a price to pay for this muddled closure.

No . He just stated the score . But you took it as an attack .
Who gives shit about review scores anyways ? If i had a ps3 i would get MSG4 not matter what the reviews . But generally eurogamer gets it right , they dont fall for the hype ..

after reading those reviews. I' m starting to think that MGS4 will have a complex storyline and it could be confusing just like MGS2 sons of liberty.

Have any of the games actually maked sense? And have we ever stopped playing them because of it?

He just stated the score in a new thread, when the MGS4 Reviews Pour In thread was right there next to it. Everyone knows Quez' s agenda, he' s one of the worst people on this forum and he' s actually driven away far more interesting people from here.

The original post wasn' t just an innocent post about the score indeed. Maybe it' s just me but it seemed quite ironic ;) Meant of course to tell how bad the game is.
The usage of the Swedish " happ" makes it a bit clearer even. Sort of implying " Well, it' s only an 8/10 game. Not much to do about that." Kind of like stating a fact :P

I think I' d be pissed too if I played a game with 90min cutscenes and I didn' t understand it.

Anybody expecting the story to be more coherent than previous Metal Gear games will be in for a shock. It' s a story driven Japanese developed title - they never make any sense to western audiences.

They probably dont make sense to even the japaneese, maybe they gather they make sense to us as you gather they makes sense to them.

Good lord an 8/10? Had this game gone by a university rating it would nearly be a high distinction. How pathetic. Everybody knows that if your game is not given a 9 or 10, it' s going to suck ass. In fact, we should just scrap the rest of the scores and give games three possible ratings:

0/10 - Anything below a 9, it' s garbage and should be destroyed along with the developers who made it.
9/10 - Average. Don' t expect anything amazing
10/10 - Perfect.
