Fed up of hyped games getting 10/10?
- Thread starter spraduke
- Start date
No it does not, that's the whole point of Metacritic.
And so far most of the Metacritic scores I've seen are very fitting (e.g. RO).

On the button with MGS4, by the first 10 minutes of the cutscene my friend was going 'when do you get to play' and i shushed him, by minute 20 i was going 'jesus when do i get to play' myself.
Finished the game in 20 hours according to the timer, i swear that 12++ of those were me sitting there watching cutscenes, it was unbelievable.

the cutscene in the beginning wasnt 20 minutes. or are you talking about those weird videos in the beginning?(like the workout, cooking, etc) cuz i just skipped those
Act 1 of MGS4 seriously has the best middle eastern environment ive ever seen in a game. that was what COD4 should have been like.

honestly, coming from a person whose first MGS game was MGS4, and me having no background info on the plot, the cutscenes were interesting enough for me not to notice the time. i was honestly surprised that some of them were an hour since i wasnt even paying attention to the time

Well the Eurogamer review of MGS4 kicked up a lot of fuss. The comments reached over 2000 in a matter of just three days. This was because the majority felt that it should of got 10/10....

My first MGS was MGS Twin snakes (the GameCube re-make). And it's the best one.
MGS2 was good for about half an hour (the period before you are Raiden), I never played MGS3.
I have to say that MGS4 doesn't even run that well. There's noticible slowdown at times, some of the texturing is very lazy. It seems all the effort has been put into Snakes arsecheeks, which are just ridiculous. For a "futureproof console" I'm quite disappointed with performance.
On a sidenote, and I apologise for going o/t. But has anyone noticed that 2 of the Playstations best selling franchies (MGS/Resident Evil) both found their best versions on the Gamecube? (IMO)
*happy now?

Tis my friends PS3, 60GB PAL version. Some noticible slowdown on a couple of levels and in some cutscenes when panning/zooming an occasional chug.
For example, the mission when you start on the outside Cove Valley Village, the camera zooms out, revealing a smoking building in the background and a few extra soldiers & 2 gecko things (this is being played at 1080p btw). It just stutters, fps noticibly dips and then returns to normal, I can't think of how to describe it. It's the same way a PC would react for example if you looked at an extremely detailed particle cloud.
Nothing terrible but not what I'd expect from something that looks the way it does.
They're not texture "problems", I'll see if I can get some screenshots for an example. It just doesn't look as good as I expected.

As far as I know the Gamecube version of RE4 has nicer graphics but lacks the additional content of the PS2 (Mercenaries, Assignment Ada). Maybe the Wii has both? I heard it had awesome controls, with that wiimote and all.

Well I was referring to the re-makes, mainly the original Resident Evil re-make, and the re-make of MGS. I keep meaning to pick up RE4 on the Wii, excellent as it is on the GC.

just out of curiosity, but what were the longest cutscenes in the game. after playing thru twice, i could have sworn that the longest one was 10 minute max. i just got into it. was it the last one, or the one at the end of act 3? those seemed to be the longest

Well the reason it is so long at times is because a few times you wind up with an end of act cutscene, an inbetween cutscene, then loading the "act" takes a few minutes, and then a start of act cutscene. They're not awfully long, although they don't help the game much. I don't know for sure but the longest period I was sat there watching crap was over half an hour.

I thought the VG cats comic about the brown, over-bloomed current-gen graphics he referenced was brilliant.
