About Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots is the final canonical Metal Gear game to feature Solid Snake as the main character. The gameplay of the previous games have been kept along with some new features, such as the ability to roll on your back and also to hide in bins scattered around the environment. Most of the story and the relationship between the characters are explained through cut-scenes with a considerable length, so knowledge of the prior games is recommended to fully understand the story. The game also features a complex multiplayer mode entitled Metal Gear Online with some original missions based on the stealth aspects of the single-player games.

ELO progression

Score moved from 1,500 to 1,623 ELO points over the last 215 days.

    finished this back when it still felt like an event

    Homenick28

    played it solo start to finish, did anyone else feel like it demanded that kind of focus?

  2. Pagac35

    It still holds up in the moments that matter, though some of the pacing choices feel like a product of their time rather than something timeless.

    Bayer15

    Fair point on pacing, though as an occasional player I never minded it much.

  3. AnastasieByte

    Il tourne beaucoup autour des mêmes adversaires non ? Ça donne quoi comme tendance sur ses votes récents ?

  4. Nova_Pagan

    Tiene grandeza, pero también cansa un poco.

    Pixel_Espinosa

    Grandeza tal vez, pero cansar tanto no debería ser sinónimo de mérito en un clasificamiento como este.

    Silent_Bazin

    Ma jeune sœur a essayé, elle a duré une heure avant d'abandonner le pad.

  5. LootSniper28

    Vous avez déjà essayé de faire découvrir ce jeu à quelqu'un qui n'a jamais touché la série avant ? Ma tentative a viré au fiasco total, je crois que j'ai perdu plus de temps à expliquer le contexte qu'à jouer réellement.

    Coop_Ferrer

    Sin contexto se pierde bastante, la verdad... quizás el debate debería mirar más al ranking que al juego en sí.

    Éric_25

    pas d'accord, le contexte fait partie du jeu, faut juste accepter de s'y perdre un peu non

    IronRunner

    Replying to Éric_25

    Le contexte se justifie surtout si on a suivi les épisodes d'avant, sinon ça retombe vite comme un soufflé raté.
