Last week I finally arrived home on Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. The PlayStation 3 game came out a few ago years, but since I bought the console just 2 months ago, it was not until now that I've been playing. It's been a long wait for me, but I've finally been able to play again with Snake, and discover the outcome of all the big and exciting argument that surrounds this saga.
I will not say anything about its history, simply because it is overly broad, as all deliveries are united, and to understand it must play them in depth. So as much, except to say that the argument is situated 9 years after the events of Metal Gear Solid for PSX, and Snake is already very old, but not by the passage of these 9 years, but because your body is aging faster than normal. The reason and you will find out once you have played the game, if you have not already done so.
course, to learn from everything that happens in the game, and resolve any doubts that remained open in the past, we will see a lot of footage, which has been criticized by people. For my part, I'm not complaining, on the contrary, I love it, it totally gets you into history, and tells you in great detail what happens, giving it a cinematic touch rarely seen before in a game. I admit it is true that there are many very large (comfortable accommodates the end of about an hour), Perosi saga you love good stories and not get bored watching them at any time.
When asked us to start playing the facility, which has been divided into 5 parts (excluding the online mode). They have done well so that will not be very long, so that at the beginning of each of the 5 chapters of the game have to install some of it to keep playing. The duration of the installation varies depending on the chapter we're going to play. For example, the first chapter is the later, for a total of 8 minutes, the rest will I remember that 3 minutes, some as about 2 minutes and the fifth and final chapter will be installed in just a minute.
MGS 4 is one of the best paragraphs graphics ever seen on a console, and say that about a game that is not current, it has 3 or 4 years is a lot to say, for even today is rare to see a game that exceeds in this respect. Come on, Snake will have aged rapidly, but Konami has ensured that the game looks no worse for some time.
As you know, the game came with subtitles in English, but English voices, which although very good, we all expected wanting to Alfonso Vallés and the rest of the team who worked on MGS dubbing relocated their voices, but came to nothing, maybe next time ... (Or not).
Moreover, the rest of the paragraph sound is also great level, and melodies that return to live up to expectations. In fact, during the game we can again enjoy the music from previous games in the series, which is much appreciated.
One thing I noticed playing, is that infiltration is not as common as before, ie, while in other games in the series we spend much of the hidden game the enemy, and many hiding places at our disposal, now is not so with scenarios more open and less places to hide, and most will use the new OctoCamo to hide from others, a cloaking device which is our uniform, that if you stay still, we camouflage with the environment in which we find ourselves, or we can also dress up to go unnoticed to most enemies. But hey, that's for example, hide in lockers, and not used much ... in fact, that I did it only once during the adventure, or even one approached me, so I left, I went back and killed him xD
As to arms, mostly we use always the same, at least in my case has been, and have been silenced pistol (with or without tranquilizers), rifles, grenade launchers and missiles. But not once have I used a grenade, C4, a proximity mine, magazines, etc ... or only once during the entire game, simply because I have not been necessary. And also, the adventure is fairly easy to overcome. Yes, I mean the normal difficulty mode, which I always play the first game well, and since then, over time, desire, and the game, me I pass on higher difficulty modes. So I do not know how difficult it will be higher, but normal is very affordable and even enemies shall fall before we end with an attempt or two at most if the first attempt did not understand well what they do, that happened to me sometimes, as with Mantis.
The duration of the game is high, at least I finished on a total of 18 hours, placing it above the norm in the genre, but it is also true that I am one of those search everywhere to never miss a detail xD But still, it is quite long. And do not forget the online mode that brings the title, which I decided not to talk yet, because I've only played once and I see a lot more in it. So when has played more in depth, I will post about it to say that I found.
and nothing else, this is my opinion about Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, one of the best games currently available for Playstation 3 in my opinion. And as I said, when deeper into the online mode, I will post about it to give my impressions of him.
