A Next Metal Gear Is, Shit
Sunday, December 28th, 2008 by MattSo a while ago there was a the whole a “A next Metal Gear is” teaser and a whole load of faggots were like “OMG, GREEN POWER SYMBOL, IT’S FOR THE 360.” Those fags sure got told with the announcement of the iPhone game, Metal Gear Solid Touch. Sure, this was predicted, but not by as much who thought it was for the 360.
Now, on the Playstation forums I have made some comments how it’s “a crappy game” and I got tons of fanboys telling me how you can’t judge something before you play it. I would have to disagree with you guys there. I have been playing videogames for over 15 years now. I think I could judge a game based on how it looks. I am also a critic, meaning I see what is being offered. So this is what I saw:
A Metal Gear game, with no buttons, only a touch screen. I also know what the iPhone is capable of. So a game where you touch the screen to shoot, and pinch/unpinch to zoom in/out. Was I right? Yes! Kojima in a later interview stated that they took out the stealth out of Touch in order to give the game a quickplay experience. Brilliant, that means I can have a quickplay experience while I am at home, doing nothing. Is there ever going to be an immerse game for the iPhone?
So what do we have? We have a fucking rail shooter with a Metal Gear skin. Great, a game we’ve all played 100 times, with no innovation. I won’t even touch the game, it’s not even worth my time. There’s probably going to be a retelling of the events that happen in MGS4. About 3 hours of gameplay. You’re better off playing those “win an iPod” ads on the internet. At least they’re free and they even give you cookies. Hooray.
Back to the argument of me not being able to judge a game based on how it looks. That argument applies to books. Not games. He even mentioned look at this album cover (Beatles’s White Album) and said “if you would judge this CD, you would assume it’s crap.” No faggot. Games are supposed to “look good” That’s like me saying “a good song doesn’t have to sound good” or “a good book doesn’t have to have a good story.”
Instead of fucking arguing how I am wrong, why don’t you try and prove why you are right?
