METAL GEAR SOLID 4: Guns of the Patriots - Master Collection Version

kojimada historica, aun ni me lo he pasado pero ya se que un cierre perfecto para una saga perfecta

19billion dollar company cant port my all time fav franchise on pc

A beautiful and powerful conclusion for one of gaming's most iconic heroes. Best gameplay in the series with maybe Kojima's best direction. Outstanding cinematography, the cutscenes in this game feel like a high level movie. The writing for snake and his send off was essentially perfect for me. Incredible video game and a masterpiece.

I remembering playing this game in the ps3 era and i have enjoyed back then, and seventeen years later finally I can play it again on my pc. I love this game. Thank you Konami for bring it back for everyone to enjoy it.

[b]It's not just a Video game, it's a Hideo game.[/b] This is it. This is Hideo Kojima's reward to you for playing all the MGS titles that came before it. And if you didn't, this is your last chance to go back and play those games before this game spoils those experiences forever. It builds upon past events, rides hard on nostalgia with fan-service, and lands the payoff perfectly—provided you've been following the overarching plot and the unforgettable characters met along the way. While the game tries to explain previous lore through dialogue and player-initiated flashbacks, it simply won't hit the same if you haven't played the earlier titles. [h3]GAMEPLAY[/h3] The gameplay is a massive leap forward. We have proper third-person aiming, a camo system that adapts dynamically to your environment and a tool that lets you scout ahead for danger to minimize nasty surprises. But the improved gun system deserves the spot for being the best feature this game has to offer. At any point, we can access the gun-shop from the menu to buy and customize our weapons or restock ammo. Any duplicate gear we find gets sold, so that means as long as we keep scavenging, we rarely run dry on the battlefield. It actively encourages taking risks and experimenting with different loadouts. Mentioning which, some of the missions in the game tries to emulate a soldier-on-a-warzone experience. There, we will see two factions at war with each other. And we have the choice to either sneak across quietly. Or befriend the rebels so that their side wins the area for us and we can roam around collecting loot without worry. This also means getting into gunfights a lot more. But thanks to the improved gun system as mentioned above, fighting battles can be really fun. Controls on the PC is serviceable. But this game is still best played with a controller. Not just because it feels more intuitive with a controller, but also because mouse aiming actually makes the game a lot easier. [h3]CUTSCENES[/h3] We can FINALLY pause the cutscenes! And just in time too, because they are long, and they are too many. This is the one thing this game is rather (in)famous for. Critics often give the pacing flak for breaking up gameplay with cinematic marathons, but it isn't nearly the flaw people make it out to be. First, the cutscenes are incredible, bold, and integral to the game's identity. Second, the narrative was designed as the definitive curtain call for the franchise, delivering its grand finale through pure directorial flair. Kojima's cinematic ambitions shine here at full blast. Finally, the cutscenes remain surprisingly interactive: button prompts regularly appear to trigger hidden flashbacks, alter the camera angle, or offer alternative perspectives. Even during set-pieces and cinematic scenes, Kojima finds a way to let you frame the experience. [h3]PROTIPS[/h3] - Call contacts frequently and repeat until lines cycle. Even if the main narrative relies heavily on cinematics, plenty of lore, humor, and callbacks are tucked away in the radio calls. - Game can only save your data on area change or some major cutscene events. So only bother manually saving after you change areas. - Try to befriend the rebels by giving them gifts. They will start giving you gifts in return! - Don't hoard points. Modify attachments, buy non-lethal munitions, and lean into whatever playstyle suits you best. - Despite the runtime of cutscenes, the gameplay sandboxes give you immense freedom. Stealth and non-lethal routes are always viable, but going loud is far less punishing than in past entries. For the intended experience, clear MGS1, MGS2, and MGS3 first. At the absolute minimum, having a firm grasp of MGS1 is essential. [h3]CONCLUSION[/h3] MGS isn't like most video-games in the sense that it simply can't be described as "good" or "bad". It may establish rules only to break them later when Kojima wants to prove a point or provoke an emotional response. And boy does this game succeed at that. Whether you are witnessing the absolute crazy or the heartbreaking tear-jerkers, you won't find another experience quite like this. Love it or hate it, there will never be another game like Metal Gear Solid 4. This is peak Kojima.

peak what an era PISS FILTER ERA

Shamelessly self indulgent fan-service series swan song that feels both contrived, and honest in it's intentions. This is not a metal gear game for newcomers, which may be obvious with it being placed at the end of the series timeline but you need prior exposure for many of its riffs to land correctly or with enough depth. there are negatives, maybe more-so than MGS1, 2 or 3, or even some of the side-titles. The gameplay to cutscene ratio is way off, some of the achievements are downright sadistic, and sometimes you can feel a slight tint of spite writing from kojima, in the sense of him wanting to be done with the series and so writes away the mystery of every existing plot points in order to put a "capstone" on things. It relies on nanomachines way too much to explain things that might've been better off not explained. Drebin's shop exacerbates an existing design tension in the fact you have all these cool tools and yet, the game subtly incentivises you not to use them (or rather, to use non-lethal exclusively). The Beast Unit are beyond forgettable compared to Dead Cell and rogue FOXHOUND, and exist kind of as gooner-bait with generic tragic backstories stapled onto the side of them. They suffer from some of the same issues the Cobra's did, where kojima's writing goes "theme first, character second", which is how we end up with "Raging Raven is Angry", "The Fury is Furious", or more recently, "Heartman has a Heart problem", so they often come across as strangely two-dimensional compared to characters of an older era, which coincidentally hold together this entire game. There are also slight retcons if you care to look deeply enough into backstory to discover them, and it's 100% the king of the yellow filter visual era from the late 00s that we saw in the early PS3/360 generation and it also has the weakest replayability of any mainline MGS title. But then, negatives out of the way... It feels lovely to play, it runs like a charm. Where there is gameplay there's a tremendous amount of depth and attention to detail (like usual). Raiden usurps Grey Fox's title as coolest cyborg ninja, you really feel for Snake, and all of our favourites return for one grand finale. It rewards prior knowledge to a great extent, and act 4 is like being sucker punched by nostalgia. Over the shoulder aiming is a great QOL thing compared to old controls, octocamo is cool as hell, faction disguises also introduce a slight amount of Social Stealth which can change the flow of certain levels. Sound design is amazing. Easter eggs are fun to find. It's not without flaws, but it is a great game and I am very glad it managed to escape PS3 prison. Konami should get more props for that, considering we were told it was "impossible" for years. It's also faithful minus one codec call which they brought back the VA to revoice. My favourite MGS is probably 2, which I would give a 9.5/10. I give this a strong 7, or weak 8. Not the best overall MGS game, but for fans or people brought into the franchise already, you'd be doing yourself a disservice not to play it.
