Nolan was once the golden child of NeoGAF and now people shit upon him with no remorse. He has become the Harvey Dent of GAF...

He's the hero we deserve, but not the one we need right now. So we'll troll him. Mock him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a cinematic guardian, a vigilant artist... A Modern-Day Hitchcock.

And in time... we shall join him in the sun.

Hell no.

TDKR has some missteps which make it a little disappointing in comparison to the previous entries, but it could easily be tweaked into something really special.

MGS4 is just absolute shit that destroys the series central character, and should be retconned out of existence.
Jesus... I can't even read this thread without MGS4 hate?

2x GAF GOTY. Must of done something right. But that was my main point. Big hype, a lot of praise, with an extremely vocal minority.

Can't wait for Nolan to win his 3rd GAF MOTY.
 
MGS4 still sucks. Its basically a movie, and its the most ham-fisted, maudlin, nonsensical, sophomorish, amateurish piece of shit movie there is. Liking it calls your opinions on everything in life into question. I award you no points on may god have mercy on your soul.

So, a bad movie? Never played the game.
 
Wow.

MGS4 to this day remains one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had in my life.

I just don't get some of your guy's taste sometimes.
 
MGS4 talk in a TDKR thread seems so appropriate.

I hated MGS4 more than TDKR though. Because at least this film had a good ending.

MGS 1-3 are still in my heart though forever. /salute

So? Wasn't Lost just as hamfisted nonsensical and amateurishly written as well? At some point you just care that much about the characters that it doesn't even matter what spaced out nonsense happens around them, you travelled the road down with them and want to see how it ends.
And that's what MGS4 delivered.

You're right. I particularly cared about the character assassination of the MGS3 cast.

Fuck MGS4.

I liked that twist, but probably because I had no attachment to those guys. If I had loved MGS3 I'd probably be annoyed or something about it.

This is why I hated that bloody game. It shits all over Solid Snake. I can't see how anyone who likes Solid Snake as a character would be pleased with how his story ended. Kojima took a dynamic and interesting character, and castrated him in that game. I don't give a crap about diarrhea boy and Meryl, the whining of Otacon with Naomi, or how he just tried to do callback after callback all the while ignoring the anchor which should have been delivering Snake's swan-song. It's all style and no substance. Yeah, the game has some really cool moments, but he ruins the story and character.

TDKR, even with the shitty insert of that wanker Blake, still gave a satisfying ending to Bruce Wayne. Even if the execution is lacking, the character himself was done justice and given an ending that both made sense and was satisfactory. The same cannot be said of MGS4.

God I hate that game.

When I returned to Shadow Moses, I almost shit in my pants. One of the best games ever.
