Metal Gear Solid 4 Cut Content: The Big Mama Escort Mission

youtube.com/watch?v=sLWQbtJH8h4

Wait, Act 3 was supposed to have gameplay?

This

So it would've been a poetry moment with carrying starving Eva again?

MGS4 is better than MGS2

So sick of neo/v/ shitting on this masterpiece

>b-but muh cutscenes

It's metal gear you fucking idiots find another franchise

I agree that 4 was better then 2, but even I have to admit the game got weak after Chapter 2.

>the only act with actual stealth
>hates it
Back to Phantom Shite underage boi.

As if Act 3 wasn't bad enough.

God damn, MGS 4 sucks. Worst game in the series.

>stealth

More like detective simulator, all you do is tail some retard.

Are you fucking retarded? No, just tell me. Only retards don't understand the plot of MGS2 and say it's not the best MGS.

>painstakingly make a beautiful and atmospheric eastern yuropean city with a vibe reminiscent of cold war era
>completely underutilize it with a pseudo escort mission and another cinematic chase sequence

fucking act 3

Wrong

Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy the early part of that act. There is just so little of it, it's the shortest act if you skip the cutscenes, also with a really weak boss fight and a shooting section at the end that controls worse than the similar section in MGS1.

that moment when you step out the station and look around is fucking fantastic

then it just goes down the gutter past the first street

Act 3 is where the game started to suck

Act 4 was great, though.

Outside of the nostalgia it's pretty shit, unmanned weapons are nowhere near as interesting to mess around with compared to human guards.

Everything but gameplay
MGS2 > MGS1 > MGR > MGS4 > MG2 > MG > MGS3 > PW > MGSV > MGAC!D 2 > MGAC!D > OO

Gameplay
MGSV > MGR > MGS4 > MGS2 > MGS1 > MG2 > PW > MGAC!D 2 > MG > MGAC!D > MGS3 = OO

>4 above anything

you baited me

sorry I'm just more cerebral than thou

But it's a huge amount of nostalgia and crying wolf and the mech fight are both great boss fights.

SNAKE, WHY YOOOU OHHHH

MGS2 has the best writing in the series that is relevant today and will be relevant as long as the united states remains a country. It was prophetic with the internet AND AI which can basically be replaced by Google and make complete sense. The gameplay in each game in the series evolves as the technology of consoles got better so I don't really think it's fair to compare gameplay aspects, it's comparing apples and oranges.

What's your problem with MGS3?

Half of act 4 was empty and the other half was filled with robots, who are boring as shit to fight and can all be easily bypassed with chaff. It sucked.

It's short and has bad controls and shitty menus and a bad camera even after it was "fixed" and shitty boss fights that are overhyped and the worst dialogue in the series bar peace walker.

It has good graphics and good music, that's it.

I disagree with all of that except the boss fights.

Why is all this cut content being revealed only now? There was also that Shadow Moses thread the other day.

>and can all be easily bypassed with chaff
That's a good thing in this case, then. I enjoyed the exploration, but that's partly nostalgia-based, so call me a faggot.

MGO2 being revived on OFW resparked interest in metal gear again

What about Shadow Moses?

yea i agreed
2 is masterpiece

3 > 1 > 5 > 4 > 2

MGS4 gave us Drebin

MGS2 gave us this. Which is more relevant?

And only retards say this about MGS2 plot and say it's the holy grail, fuck off retard. Overrated piece of trash.

Act 3 was literally the only weak point of the game and it wasn't that bad.

MGS4 is shit only because it has the best stealth system upon its release yet you cant use it other than in Chapter 1,2 and the small navy ship at the end.

Most of the game is comprised of vehicle chasing scenes (at some points its almost like a nu-resident evil parody), boss battles and places where you are not allowed to stealth using 100% of the character/game capabilities. Like that night level where you cant use most of your stuff.

I really enjoyed the first part of the game, but then it stops being about stealth.

Finally the lack of TECHNOLOGY. Mgs3 was peak TECHNOLOGY. 4 was a letdown, and in V there isnt barely any TECHNOLOGY.

Notice how I didnt even mention the cutscenes or the plot.

>gecko armed with chemical weapons

Holy fuck that sounds cool.

>It's short
It's significantly longer than MGS1 or 2. Just look at the Big Boss/Foxhound time requirements. Both 1 and 2 had to be beaten in under 3 hours, while MGS3's max time allotted was 5 hours. It has vastly more content and gameplay than any of the other games. I honestly have no idea how someone who actually played it could come to this clearly delusional and objectively wrong conclusion.
>has bad controls
I disagree. The game's controls are virtually the same as those of MGS2, but more polished. 2 feels stiff and unresponsive by comparison.
>shitty menus
Fair.
>bad camera even after it was "fixed"
This is nonsense. The free camera from subsistence is perfect, and in combination with the ability to switch back and forth to top-down camera, there really is no excuse for having visual difficulties at any point in the game. I have never even heard this complaint before from any of MGS3's detractors.
>shitty boss fights that are overhyped
I don't see how external media can lessen the quality of something that was developed and exists independent of that media. Or how that even constitutes a legitimate criticism. If MGS3 was never released and you were the only person in the world to play it, the bosses would still be the exact same. "Overhyped" isn't a quality containted within the game, and makes little sense as a critique of the game.
>and the worst dialogue in the series bar peace walker
Meh. I disagree but I'm getting tired of refuting your weak willed non-arguments.

>neo-Sup Forums
>when everyone already shat on it back in 2008
Fuck off reddit revisionist.

There was just going to be a lot more to walk around and visit apparently--according to more dialogue with Otacon.

I never played 4 because I only play on PC, haven't played 5 because I haven't played 4

Anyone else know this feel?

You were supposed to also visit the womens bathroom where you met Meryl and Psycho Mantis' office.

fuck you, the end was the best sniper in all mgs franchise

these anons get it. as a full on piece of art, MGS2 is Kojima's masterpiece. Very, very few games are able to say anything of substance like this one did.

>MGR above anything
top kek
It somehow made MGS4's story look decent.

act 3 was shit senpai.
It was basically an escort mission

you have a big open area, but you are forced to follow a specific path, the one the ai npc chooses to go.

It is a shit act, like most mgs4.
The only good act is the first one, the act that plays more like what fans were expecting mgs4 to be. A stealth game set in the middle of a battlefield.

Sadly, act1 is too short and nothing like that chapter ever happens again (act 2 was acceptable, but it wasn't nearly as good as act 1 was)

you absolutely don't need to play 4 to play V, you need to play Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes before it

>People still highly rating MGS4 just because it's a PS3 exclusive

Sad

>escort mission
>in the sewers

Two of the worst videogame tropes out there mixed into one segment? Thank god it was removed.

>when everyone already shat on it back in 2008
talk about underage, 2008 Sup Forums was filled with dozens of MGS4 11/10 GOTY A MASTERPIECE BY KOJIMA for over a year

Yes, and every single one of those threads called OP a shitposter and were sending the OP back to Sup Forums
Sup Forums was already shitting on it back when it was leaked that Big Boss would appear.

You're not missing on anything. MGS4 sucks.

>find him once
>unload tranq into him
>flashbangs you and runs
>follow his footprints
>tranq him while he's running
>win fight
>walk around map
>see him easily because he sticks out like a sore thumb in most grass areas he hides in
>headshot with SVD
>repeat
>win easily

>BEST FIGHT EVER HOLY GOD BY GOD BEST BOSS FIGHT EVER MADE

Even Volgan was a funner fight.
