Dolemite	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post At Regular Troll. Did you even play MGS4? MGS is a unique gaming experience, unlike all those crap ass fps games. Without MGS, gaming would've been very boring. If you stack up all the big named shooters, it wouldnt equal MGS imo. Reply

deany	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I guess it wouldnt be THAT much of a disappointment if it comes to the xbox 360, but honsetly, do you think the 360 can take it? It HAS to be better than MGS4, and i know the ps3 can handle it, but if this thing is coming to the 360, the 360 needs to start flexing its muscles. Reply

DOOM	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post 1.There is EVER going to be a Metal Gear Solid 5. 2. Kojima would never let the MGS series go multi platform, as he has said. This reviewers sources are terrible, as it this article. End of. Reply

Rey22	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post I think that MGS should stay as a exclusive title there should be no reason that it should go to the 360 but this econimic problem is hurting so i understand but also MGS will be hurting if it goes to the 360 but what could we do but wait to see its outcome Reply

thomas smith	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post i think that mgs5 will be a ps3 exclusive if you look at sales figures. the ps3 has already outsold the xbox 360 in europe and continues to grow and as you said it sold 1 million copies in europe in a week for me the best choice wpuld be to stick with the ps3 while the xbox continues to slowly be beaten in the concole war Reply

shrew	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post How absolutely ridiculous to claim that MGO isn't up to the standard of GTA4's multiplayer. It's clearly evident you haven't even played MGO. MGO is the deepest console multiplayer experience on ps3 BY FAR. It's got a huge amount of depth, the reward shop, detailed stats for every game mode, PROPER clan support not half-assed like resistance2, some really great innovative unique game modes, etcetera. The only one of the multiplayers you mention that is as deep is halo3. MGO offers far more than resistance2, gta, gears of war, or cod4. Cod4 has almost no depth compared to MGO! It's just bloody quick join games, there's not even clan support. Explain exactly what you mean by brilliant multiplayer because it's just utterly ignorant to think GTA4 (which is my goty) multiplayer is anything close to as professional and perfected as mgo. It's pretty obvious you're just going on popular opinion as you mention absolutely nothing as to why MGO isn't up to scratch. Every map in mgo is meticulously perfected in terms of the lighting, shadows, cover, foliage, pathways for different game modes, etcetera. It's the most intellectually challenging multiplayer outside of the RTS genre. This whole article is just a joke. Reply

Razmossis	0 0 In response to Article » Go to 's original post What you said about MGO is ignorant and ridiculous, MGO is thee most competitive console games you will ever play, it has the thee most indepth and varied gameplay you'll ever experience (after all, it is Metal Gear), the games you listed are EASY, the only one I have ever found even slighty challenging online was Halo, and that got boring after a month. COD is for people who just started gaming last week and dont really have any skill. You had to be joking when you said GTA4 right!? Ive played all the games you've mentioned and not one of them can match the same Depth, intensity, level of skill, competitiveness or community feel that you find in MGO, anyone who has ever played the games for more than a few hours will agree with me Reply
