Woot! I bet this review will be awesome, can't wait *clickie*

[edit] well I've watched it, and as expected, You found it as fanboy-ish as I did.

Also I would like to ask you to officially announce the end of your movies, since The Escapist tends to hang trailers on it's back without a proper notification. (since you sometimes do these epic movies on the side)

I enjoyed it, thank you for doing all that trouble of playing a game, and writing an awesome review about it!

Spot on especially about the length of the cut scenes, going from act 2 to act 3 took more than a hour I swear!

they are skipable, but first time through I wanted to hear the story

I absolutely love MGS4 because i am a fan and i loved all the other ones. Great review as always, so fucking funny!
And while i do actually love this game, i agree with every single one of yahtzee coments. Yes the cutscenes are skippable but who wants to miss out on the convoluted story? They could have cut them down and still kept as much of the story. Took me 17 hours to watch the cutscenes are 2 hours to play the game.

Hey!!! MGS series is the Matrix of video games. You just need open your mind. Yes I would vote in Kojima for President!

I'm sorry but my inner PS3 fanboy orders you to delete the "Kajima" tag and replace it with Kojima. Great review by the way

He's right about the whole, "Things become less funny when they become commonplace," thing. No offense or anything, but Yahtzee's reviews never make me laugh as much as they did when I first started watching them. The first review I saw, I nearly cried because of how funny it was. Now, I just chuckle.

I haven't played any of the Metal Gears due to complete and utter lack of interest in the stealth (I typed steakth originally; I think my subconscious is telling me something) genre, and with the constant praise flying around for MGS4 I was worried I was missing out on something beautiful. Glad to know that it probably wouldn't appeal to me anyway.

What are you talking about focusing on the action? If you play the game on anything above Naked Normal you have to be stealthy as possible because of the near absesnse of health and the fact enemies have bionic supervision and hearing.

For once, i disagree with Yahtzee. This game is amazing
You have to remember that Yahtzee's a game critic, rather than one which solely focuses on story (hence why BioShock was still rated pretty low) and thus any sort of emotional attachment the majority of people who play this game have to the franchise is totally lost on him, especially given the cutscenes (and thus no playability) for hours on end explaining a story as confusing as an amputee swan in a clown car.
