I've even tried my all time favourite SOCOM, and still I just get annoyed of the aged controls and graphics. As I said I picked up MGS3 to get a taste of the characters and the game in general, I find that the controls in it are particularly hard to get used to. Did anyone else find it that way? I always feel the need to play the game but the controls just piss me off to much to play it.

Anyways, I was wondering if buying MGS4 (cause it looks rediculously good and polished...) would be a an ok buy, seeing as ive 1: Never played the previous games 2: I don't like the controls of the game. I've thought that it would be ok to buy it seeing as each game really has its own different plot (they do don't they?), but I just don't want to buy something that really doesn't have control configurations that I would like.

Hope to hear from some of the fans out there. I'm posting this now obviously because the game released yesterday....

Thanks.

I also got MGS3 and also can't seem to get into it for a lot of the same reasons as you. The controls did seem weird, and I too seem to have a problem making the graphical step back in some PS2 games, this one being the worst. I also find that the excessive cutscenes really take away from any flow in the gameplay. You just start to get into it and then have to sit though a 15+ minute scene. I'll likely end up getting MGS4 at some point, but I doubt it'll be before it's $30 or less making it into an impulse buy.

Kojima wants to make “complete” version of Metal Gear Solid 4 — Scrawl

Kojima wants to make “complete” version of Metal Gear Solid 4

Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has said in a Twitter update that he wants to make a “complete” version of 2008’s Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, adding trophies and 3D support, but says that he unfortunately doesn’t have the time to do so.
“I wanted to make a ‘Complete Version’ with trophy support and 3D,” Kojima said, “but if I did that I wouldn’t be able to work on a new game. I wonder if someone else would make it for me.”

Anybody out there at Konami want to go ahead and make this? I’ll buy it again!

He's talking about a 360 release.

Damn 360 and its trophies.

Kojima is due to announce a new game at TGS anyway, the man is ridiculously busy these days. It's not like before when he was focused on one project.

What a waste of everybody's life - watching hours of video-game cutscenes. Dragon Age, too, except the cutscenes are broken up into a billion tiny bits, which may be even more annoying.

It's like, you can't write, your script isn't good, your characters are cliche, the story is terrible and you have a weird smell. Stop wasting our time!

well, I'm sure they'll have a trophy for watching it all without skipping...
