AnarchyWest posted 01/02/2010, 02:12
yes it was poorly written but still a decent game, I think Peace Walker will be more promising
MGS4 contradicted some of the characters and themes from previous installments
and it sold more than MGS3 only (I don't understand how MGS3 and MGS3:Sub only sold 4.5M total, should have sold 7M at least)
IMO MGS4 divided the fanbase
you have the people who just play the games (series) and enjoy it for what it is and then you have the people who look into the depth of the game (and the whole series) the latter felt 4 was a disappointment in many ways (and it mostly stems from the writing)

This is my favourite in the series as well. Easily the best cinematography and narrative. Sure, some of the more "quiet" scenes are very long and almost overwhelming, but the incredible imagery and profound, poetic writing make them very interesting and quite unique in the medium. The vision of a true artist coming full circle.
Go for 5 mil !

play all MGS's, and this and mgs1 are probably the best.
i think the whle idea of the amount of cut scenes, was to do with this supposedly being the last in the series. but obviously wasn't the case.

the storyline was poorly written in this one...a lot of unnecessary scenes too
and a big "wtf" for changing Solid Snakes codename to "Old Snake"
I still think 1 was best then closely followed by 3 then 2 and 4 then PO

@Gearbox- So by your account, Tomb Raider, Uncharted, and Jak 2 and 3 are shooters. Give me a break. The goal in Metal Gear Solid 4 is to sneak past your enemy and avoid alert. A lot of MGS players beat the game with under 100 kills.

Yeah, the last scene is very long (over 20 minutes), but i found it to be both incredibly thought provoking and emotional.
Big Boss finally understanding the 'true' will of his mentor is one of the, if not "the" most profound and insipiring epiphany in any story i have ever seen or read.

@ NeoMatrix - agreed, 5 mil is the next (and final) big stop.

Recap Update: (~= around)
MGS1 ~ 6.5 million (or +)
MGS2 ~ 7.5 million (+)
MGS3 ~ 4-4.5 million w
worse than 2 due to 2 being a disappointment
MGS4 ~ 4.5 million

The thing I hate is Konami rapes Kojima like George Lucas Rapes Indiana Jones.

Kojima loves his games like art and want best quality for them so he goes with Sonyware.
While Konami striving for cash spreads the games clones on other systems.

Is it just me or it this somewhat exclusivity damage pissing anyone else off.

Look now we have another third rate MGS title Raiden coming out Multi.

I agree. The game sold more than 4 million and we all know that but so what if VGC don't have it right. A lot of games on this site is undertracked and overtracked. It's not like you are getting any of the money that is made from the sales so stop complaining.

I'll admit that VGChartz is within +/-10% of real life (currently on the low side in this case), which has always been VGChartz goal. Statistically, VGChartz is right on the money, which is why the outcry's over under tracking are unfounded.

However, when the best we can estimate off of is 4.75m for the series, that does not justify changing what we currently have.

@ Νordlead
People who claim 4.75million sold have also no clue as to what it is going on (i am not sarcastic here).

I for one never claimed such numbers.It is perfectly understandable that a considerable amount of copies is fuelled into the market for future sales.

But the point was that up until now , nobody from Vgchartz admitted that there is a problem with tthe numbers of this title.I am glad that now you are admitting it.To be honest , i dont care if you correct the numbers or not.All i wanted is a simple "yeah we are kinda wrong with this one" , and now i am happy.

My guess (and its simply a guess) is that the game must have sold close to 4.2million or even a bit more since they recently sent in more shipments.

Even so , last time MGS "series" shipments was at 4.5 millon.So now they increased the shipments to 4.75 million.

Which means that at least some of these extra 250k copies , must be MGS4..........

So if they increased the shipments of MGS4 , well it means that this thing must be selling better than 10k a month...unless you want us to believe that konami is shipping 500k of MGS1,2,3 or MGS:PO copies.......

Seriously this is becoming extremely annoying...you keep defending your numbers , even though there is absolutely zero logic behind them at this point....

maybe VGChartz is wrong, as VGChartz has been with lots of games/hardware. VGChartz has never claimed to be perfect, and in fact has said otherwise many times. However, VGChartz isn't pulling numbers out of their ass like every single person on this wall who says it has sold more because they want to think so.

If you want to claim VGChartz is wrong and should correct their numbers try providing some proof rather than just pulling numbers out of your ass and razzing on the website.

As i see , who gives a crap about the damn number.What i want from you , is to stop defending the fact that on this particular title , your calculations are wrong.

Its normal , dont take it so hard , people DO MAKE mistakes sometimes you know...and when you make a mistake you agknowledge it and learn from it.

Sorry , but i REFUSE , yeah thats right "refuse" , to believe that the best selling PS3 game , that went platinum , sold 30k copies in 3 months , and that Haze was actually selling better for a period of that time...

i mean ok you are damn wrong accept it for christs sake...

Konami keeps sending fresh shipments , and all you come up with is "they are reffering to the entire MGS franchise" ...

Oh really?

Well please care to tell me then , out of those 600k standing on shelves right now , how many you think are MGS4 copies?

Lets make a guess , shall we?Would you say , that out of those 600k at least half of them are MGs4 copies?Is that reasonable enough?Basically to me it sounds unreasonable that only 300k are mgs4's ,i mean what else is there from MGS franchise that needs so many new copies, but anyway , im trying to make a point here...

So 300k are on shelves, game goes platinum , sells like crap , and yet Konami sends in more shipments...

and they have the metal gear series at 4.5m through December 08.

I am yet to see any press release by Konami that says they have shipped 4.5m or more units of MGS4. However, remember that this is for the series, not just MGS4

To those claiming Konami's figures is same as sold to consumers. Publishers don't know how many copies are actually sold, all they know are shipped figures. For them shipped to retailer = sold. Publishers get their money from the game when they sell the game to retailers. Retailers don't report to publishers about sold copies to consumers and that information would not even be important to publisher.
