It's like you're from some other planet. You take the lamest sh*t serious.

"WHOMG! I CAN'T USE STICKS! I NEED A PAD! IF I USE STICKS I WON'T BE ABLE TO PULL OFF UBER MOVES AS QUICK AND KICK MY 10 YEAR OLD SISTERS ASS!...because...I have no friends...to play with...IRL...lul"

And don't get me started on the whole puzzle game thing.

Anyone else excited for Final Fantasy 13 Versus???

To tell the truth, I've only played a few of the final fantasies...and I've never even played one all the way through...shh!, but I'm loving the one this way looks and the fact that its an ACTION rpg. I know it's being made by the same team as Kingdom hearts, but is that the same team behind Kingdom Hearts two? This one really look's like it has potential. Hopefully the fact that it's an action rpg wont diminish the story or length.

Yeah, it's made by the same team as Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2. It's hard not to be excited when one of the best teams of all time is working on a new game. The screenshots so far look really amazing. I wouldn't worry about the story. Nomura-san won't allow a critical part like that to disappoint.

I hope after this they'll make Kingdom Hearts 3. They should give it a more serious and mature tone.

I'm betting they will, considering it looked like they did it with the second one...I havent even played the second one though unfortunately..for a guy who got bored of exploring the worlds of the first, do you think I'd get any enjoyment out of Kingdom hearts 2?

It's pretty good until you have to backtrack to all the worlds over again. That was pretty damn annoying.

I think I've finally made my decision on when to get a PS3. When the MGS4 bundle comes out, I will finally cave in. I pledged to get a HDTV set first, but I knew Sony would pull something out of their ass to get a sale out of me.

Oh definitely. The combat in the first game really needed you to rely on your own skill, potions, cure spells, and sometimes luck if you were low on levels. Which annoyed me. A lot. In the second game that isn't the case, since a lovely thing called "reaction commands" came in, allowing you to take giant chunks of health out of enemies easily (or at least making it easier to kill them).

As for going back to the other worlds...it isn't as bad as it sounds. Well, it went by pretty quickly for me at least. I think I cleared "Land of the Dragons" in less than an hour when I revisited it...

That's an hour too long, as far as I'm concerned. Especially when the only reason for doing it is to artificially lengthen the game.

Ok, guys. I just read that Hideo Kojima is embarrassed and afraid that people will hate him and call him a liar because he couldn't implement many of the things he was showing and talking about when he first presented MGS4. Everyone should support this game to show that he is still loved, that he's the best game designer of this time, because it's already certain to be the best game of 2008, and MGS is a series that every real gamer enjoys.

Need convincing?

Sound-wise, it is said to be the most impressive game on the market. Everything uses lossless HD audio, so for the audiophiles with high-end soundsystems, the game ought to be heaven.

Don't be scared off by screenshots. There might a plethora of games released already that surpass it visually, but MGS4 has something that something timeless; Style. The game has a sexy colorfilter that makes every location feel unique and bursting with atmosphere. There are many astonishing little touches everywhere that make the game look simply cool. (The Metal Gears bleed for example)

The gameplay looks nothing short of stunning either. The 4th entry is supposedly more action-oriented than all the previous installments combined! They designed the game as a shooter and built the stealth elements in from there, in contrast with how the other games were made. As you can see, you can play the game in two completely different ways, assuring replayability!

Last but not least, the story. If you've played a MGS game before, you will know what to expect. Hideo Kojima is Tom Clancy and M. Night Shyamalan rolled into one person. There is very little known about the story so far (other than that Snake will lose), but it will be automatically amazing. Kojima-san already confirmed there would be many plottwists that no one would have even dared to dream of. Even if you haven't played all the previous games, the game has a cool feature that shows you recaps of older plot elements at the press of a button in the middle of cutscenes. Speaking of cutscenes, it's also been comfirmed that, even without the flashback recaps, cutscenes frequently lasted over 30 minutes in length!

The game is a Playstation 3 exclusive. This game simply can't be done on any other platform. The game makes use of rumble, the sixaxis' unique motion controls and the vast size of Bluray discs.

Excited yet? It's hard not to be when there are only positive things to say about a game this great. I've got my LE copy preordered, what about you?

Is this ****** one of those often heard about PR moles? Has he been trying to infiltrate our community so he can plant retarded PR nonsense in our minds!?

My dislike continues to grow!

That was extremely strange. I'll be getting MGS4 because I want to, not because some faceless person on the internet reckons I should.

Regarding the Action first- stealth being built off that remark not only worries me, but sounds like a salesman trying to expand the market

Har har...very funny, guys. No, I'm not a viral marketer. I'm just trying to help people lead the way to the game of the year. I've seen people going far beyond that for that Super Smash Mario Brothers Brawl game while this is objectively better and more fun. There's nothing wrong with being excited over a game's release. My PS3 will be gone for repair for several weeks and I'm praying I will get it back on time for the release.

What's wrong with MGS? I don't see how you could disagree unless you're the Wii Sports - Animal Crossing - Nintendogs kind of gamer.

Wow. Just shut the f*ck up and go away. I like MGS, but saying sh*t like that just shows how much of a dumbass you really are.
