I am lightning, the rain transformed.

I have found that MGS4 is actually a good game if you skip every Raiden cutscene (and that scene between Johny and Meryl near the end)

Raidens scenes are some of the only good things about the game.

Choregraphy on Raiden v Vamp fights are amazing though, and to be honest MGS4 IS a good game.

AY SNAKE HOW YOU BEEN BADDA BING BIDDA BOOM RULES OF NATURE N SHIEEET

Mgs4 is a great anime it's only an okay game.

I like how raiden transformed from literally Shinji of gaming to a badass godlike cyborg ninja

he's still an embarrassing cliche of a character, I fucking hate Raiden and I hated MGR

>tfw MGS4 is nearly 10 years old so we'll now start retroactively praising the game as all the shitters who played it as kids now look back at the game with nostalgia

There's nothing wrong with the game except being cutscene heavy, having two retarded vehicle sections, and ultimately lacking the sheer replayability of MGS3 due to its worse level design and broken flow.

>But nanomachines!
They explain like one or two things in the game, memers are just butthurt because of the Vamp retcon

>But it shits on MGS2!
Good, that game was shit and its narrative was borrowed from better stories to begin with.

MGS2 raiden isn't cliche. He's annoying but he's one of the few game character that has good writing.
>I hated MGR
bad taste

What did Kojima mean when he literally wrote a death scene for Raiden but then brought him back to life 10 minutes later

>le nostalgia

shit like this should be banned on site. 99 percent of the time its posted, its used by a literal fucking retard and is completely fucking false

MGR is barebones gameplay where all the cool stuff is scripted to happen through epic QTEs all the while a shitty Linkin Park-tier rock soundtrack blares in the background in an attempt to make you feel badass. It's garbage.

none of those are objectively bad. You have bad taste

This is a huge amount of issues though with little redeeming factors that makes me simply not want to play the game again.
Did you actually think this post made mgs4 sound good?

uh no

uh no u

remember that time raiden started breakdancing with geckos strung to both his legs

>having standards is bad taste
>dude just turn your brain off and loosen up, enjoy it

Post again in 4 years like the rules state

I've kind of turned on it a little bit, but my appreciation for it does not lie in the story, characters or campaign, more in how it is kind of crazy that a game like MGS4 could ever exist, that somebody green-lit this 10 hour movie, with some gameplay. The cutscenes are amazing looking, the production values are mindblowing, there's no game that looks or sounds better than it does.

I still hate just about everything about its story, but after the hollow experience of Peace Walker and MGSV I kind of feel like MGS4 still has some of that magic that makes MGS what it is.

This hahaha, my exact thoughts my first play through.

>Kojima is literally the Japanese version of Stephen King

Shit writing and plot holes everywhere

>bad taste
>any shit from PG
>bad taste
Kill yourself disgusting fag, PG makes shit games for kids who don't have any skill in hack'n'slash games

Why did Old Snake have to suck? I mean he's better than Naked Snake, but still a big fall from his MGS1 and 2 self.

I am cringe, Kojima's hack writing transformed.

Kojima seriously writes like he has never spoken to an actual human being. This is not how people talk.

>qte's
>linkin park

If the shenanigans with Konami hadn't gone down and Kojima had been given the opportunity to remake MG1 and MG2, could they have been good? Or would they have inevitably been a disaster like everything after MGS3?

Rex vs Ray makes my vagina moist

Sounds about right for what a dumb weeaboo like Raiden might say in an attempt to sound badass to me.

That's how Japanese people talk to each other.

I think MGS1 is the only game in the series with somewhat natural sounding dialogue in English because it had some decent localization efforts. All the games afterwards are basically Kojima unfiltered.

despite going in the complete opposite direction of his character in 2, raiden was still one of the only good characters in 4

guess who

Raging Raven

did MGR actually redeemed Raiden?

Raven

I always thought Raiden was alright but MGR made him more "likable" however he got one hell of a visual downgrade from his perfect MGS4 look.

Replayed it last year; still good.
Needed a bit more codec banter
For all the freedom that MGSV "allegedly" gives you, MGS4 has a lot more stuff to mess around, only that the terrain/instances where you can use them are very limited and short

Raiden looked pretty fucking cool in that coat.

What? Raiden is one of the only good things in 2
