in short Mgs 4 is not good enough!(only because konami has bleeded 360 fanboys dry for years).Except this mgs 4 is bearable game!

Me never played Lost odessey but as a reader i think it's a good game but when compared to MGS4, it SUCKS!!! <_< IMO, games which can be compared with MGS4 are only available on PS3 (considering PS3 and 360 only) and i would love to name 2 games, LittleBigPlanet and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. :)

Chanderson here just coming up with lame fanboyism excuses although Shyber bro and Nomad bro cleared it up but Chanderson finding it hard to understand. :p

Yeah me a MGS4 fan but when if you want MGS4 vs. Lost Odessey, I'm sure i can get more people on my side. :p You shall see some metacritic. :p

Common yaar, Lost Odessey isn't the one who can beat MGS4, surely not. We can talk about Gears 2 etc. :p but in this case, MGS4 owns easily!.

1. i never "compared" the two games
2. you still haven't played it, for all you know when you do you'll forget all about MGS4.
3. please stop because i'm pretty sure shyber is stalking closeby with a knife in his hand aiming for my throat.

i played it on youtube, wait you mean CONTROLLING it ? you can DO that ? :eek:
This is the time Shyber, DO IT!!! :p

You should do it for every game, no? Why bothered to watch the ending of crisis core? It's even longer than any MGS4 cut-scene almost :p. Why not playing RE5 on youtube? <_<

dude RE5 has just an hour of cutscenes at most lol, if anything that game could have used a lot more of them.

Whateva, i don't have any problems with longer and more cut-scenes in any game. MGS4 is recieved by me same as other games with short cut-scenes. It's not an issue and i won't be an issue for you as well if it landed on 360 but "unattainable dreams are of the best kind." :p

I hope MGS: Rising would contain longer cut-scenes compared to MGS4 and i will advice you to play it on you tube as well. :lol:

why are we even talking about an ancient game, the future of the series is what awaits us, and it's looking like a good future :D

Of course me too desperately waiting for Rising. But i doubt that upcoming future(Rising) may not be better than the golden past(MGS4)

Snake>Raiden, anyday. But Rising can be better. After all, everything depends on story, presentation, cinematics and gameplay like it is in MGS4. Kojima can do it again but it's not necessary that he should beat his every previous game. :p

Kojima rocks! :D

godamn, i missed out another dangal!

anyway, there were some interesting points raised in the first 3 pages of this thread;

- i think the country as a whole was going through better economic times back when the ps2 was at it's height. or am i wrong?

which just means more people could buy consoles for their kids. which meant that there were ps2 game cd's being sold at my local general store!

i mean, sure, the ps2 might have been for 12k and the 360 is for 20k minimum, but the dollar was at rs. 60 then and it's at rs. 82 now. plus you gotta factor in inflation.

plus, does everyone in pakistan have high-def televisions? it makes a huge difference in what a game looks like. sure, the x360 still looks better even on sd, but not as good as it can on hd. that also makes people think there isn't a huge difference between the two.

one thing is for sure though, the ps3 has failed in pakistan. there's a couple of reasons for that as well:

- piracy.
- the price of the console: sure it's got a lotta bells and whistles. but no one in pakistan wants to buy a blu-ray disc. and i don't see them being copied on a large scale anytime soon.

When 360 became freely available in Pakistan it already played pirated games & it had lots of games released by that time too plus it offered HD visuals veeerrrrrrryyyy cheaply as it was compatible with any crt monitor, PS3 had a bad lineup to start with, the games were of poor quality too compared to what 360 was offering, it was EXPENSIVE! & there is no piracy on it STILL!! & 360 STILL owns it in multiplat games!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
