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

Это шедевр

Metal Gear Solid 4 is a boring cringy mess and, unlike Solid Snake, pales in comparison to its predecessors. While it shows promise in the first two acts, the game is more concerned with overexplaining nonsensical plot points and using nanomachines to explain anything and everything rather than creating engaging gameplay. It is more cutscene than game with awful attempts at humor, some of the worst romance subplots I have ever witnessed, and no meaningful challenge outside of the act three motorbike section. Its levels are essentially poorly written movies punctuated by small and contrived stealth sections and repetitive fanservice. There is a ton of attention to detail and gameplay quirks that could have been used to great effect, Snake feels amazing to play and I enjoy his battle-hardened weariness, but it all seems tragically wasted. So much of this game is dedicated to monotony, melodrama, and a truly terrible script. I will never understand how or why this game is the way it is, especially considering how great the rest of the mainline franchise is.

As a port: Pretty well done, had some framedrops with menu-ing, nothing major As a game: I tried to get into it over and over again, but its just not hooking me (mid act 2) Not sure if im missing something or if the story picks up later, for me it was just another 360-era military shooter with a little addional basic stealthing. Controls and Combat itself are fine, even though getting hit feels not really impactful. The constant warzones you go through just werent fun for me, the enemy spawned infinite in most cases even without alert You can get interupted by cutscenes pretty much everywhere, so much i started to dread them. Some of them can be classified as "Could have been an Email", but its a 5-10 min scene I liked every MGS, but sadly not this one

Old Snake is best protagonist in any video game period. This alone makes it worthwhile, but themes, ideas, prophecies even live on to this day and now this game is even more on point than when it released. It runs great, sounds great, has a lot of neat features, easter eggs, crapton of heartbreaking (and heartwarming) moments, it's a thrill, it's a ride, it's a tragedy, it is simply put beatiful!

Great port, runs very well on linux. No bugs of any sort encountered, Really happy this finally made it outside of ps3 and emulation.

Спасибо, конечно, что освободили игру из плена PS3, но кто так делает порты, я не знаю. Ни настроек толком, ни DLSS тебе, фреймрейт залочен под 30- и 60 фпс (что в целом объяснимо, но блин). Это просто ленивый консольный порт, каких-то откровений от него ждать не стоит. Зато идёт он на любой картошке и даже на первом свитче и стимдеке.
