Yes, it is. Exactly. The sum of the parts divided by the number of parts equals game.sonycowboy said:A game is MUCH more than the sum of it's parts.
According to Gamespot's reviewing system. It's beyond stupid.

So the game rewards you for not playing?SolidSnakex said:There's other ways of doing that also. Kojima said if Snake gets wounded they'll heal by your systems clock. So if he gets cut and you don't play it for a few days, they'll be healed when you start playing again.
Razoric said:I dunno, number systems seem really fucked right now. If I had read that review without an actual score I wouldve envisioned a 9.5-9.7 score... I just don't get the 8.7 (which is not supposed to be a bad score but since most everything is 9.0+ on this and every other site I suppose an 8.7 could be seen as mediocre).
Both will be $9.99 soon, MGS3 and MP2 won'tBrandon F said:Fuck, I still really want Otogi 2 and KUF as well...
That's actually new! (it's not the same review as in EGM) However, the score is 90%Old? 9.5 @ 1up
90%? How come it says '9.5 - Brilliant' to the left? *confused since I don't visit 1up so often*Marconelly said:That's actually new! (it's not the same review as in EGM) However, the score is 90%
Funny because cutscenes in MGS2 were running at 30FPS as well as in MGS3 - there's no difference whatsoeverThe lowered framerate is anyway mostly visible during cutscenes, and the average gamer won't notice anything amiss during the main gameplay.

What? No. I'm not going to bother dissecting the review for you, but read it over. There are several complaints before the conclusion, which are then addressed in the conclusion.evil solrac 3.0 said:The MGS3 review also follows the classic GS review format by raving about it until the very last paragraph where some personal bias or minor complaint comes into play reducing the game's overall score.
SSx always leaps at the opportunity to answer this conundrum, but I suppose that since it flies in the face of MGS3 in this instance, I'll have to fill in for him.i'm sorry, but if they are willing to overlook all the flaws in GTA (which are numerous such as a bad camera, slowdown, etc) then why are they so hard on MGS3 which has less flaws, new gameplay features and adresses and fixes the "problems' or concerns fans had about the last game? i read the review and i didnt quite agree with everything that he said but he wasnt completely off-base either.
See, I would say YOU have a skewed view on what qualifies (or doesn't) as a spoiler.Hournda said:People really have a skewed view of what exactly are "spoilers." The fact that you play most of MGS2 as Raiden is not a spoiler, it is a GAMEPLAY FEATURE. The only reason it was a spoiler is because Kojima was being a douche bag and tried to (for some unnecessary reason) decieve the public into thinking MGS2 was primarily about Snake and it wasn't. It's the same with Halo. The fact that you play as the Arbiter is not a spoiler, it is a GAMEPLAY FEATURE. Bungie were just being douches about it and instead of telling people and advertising it as a feature of the game, they tried to hide it and it somehow morphed into being a "spoiler."
i was going to say it a bit differently. as in, "so he couldnt come up with any other ways to make you stop playing the game so finally came up with this idea?"Mike Works said:So the game rewards you for not playing?
You can use the right analog stick to move it around. It always points in one direction, though. You can only have it shift left or right, move in or out, and tilt up or down (IIRC). You can also press the analog stick down to have the camera lock in place, which is very useful.nitewulf said:my question is, how exactly did they change the camera? i steered clear of most MGS3 topics because i didnt wanna over-hype myself like i did with mgs2...so tell me, how is the camera different from the previous MGS games. i do know the radar has been excluded.
I like the new additions, but I still feel that the system is broken. For one reason that was mentioned in the review. Many times enemies spot you when you can't spot them. It's entirely necessary, at least on the higher difficulties, to frequently press R1 to see in front of you. That's just retarded. I don't mind it much, fortunately. I'm conditioned to the system.
So the game rewards you for not playing?
...in stealth games, imminent danger is necessary. So the simple fact that it takes a LOT for enemies to actually kill you (even on the higher difficulties) makes the experience less than threatening. This is a problem for the series. I personally became complacent at times during the demo without realizing because I know that the risk imposed by being spotted is not that high.
Granted, this brings me to another point. No one, not any of you, should play this game on anything less than Hard, if not Extreme. I suspect the reviewer played the game on Normal and that factored into his overall impression of the game.
IJoel said:Anyone with MGS3 want to exchange it for MP2?
I got MP2 yesterday and after an hour of gameplay, I already hate it. In that short period of time I must've scanned 30 items, and of course, lost most of my abilities! FANTASTIC!
I kid, I kid. I will give MP2 a chance, but I can't deny I'm terribly disappointed by it based solely on first impressions.
But I'd like to say that I see no reason why people can't get past that. Play the game enough and it becomes second nature. It's worth it.IJoel said:This is my main issue with this game.
Fixed2BeBroken said:honestly...
this is probably the Greatest christmas season for gaming ever....
Halo 2. Half life 2. Metroid Prime. Metal gear Solid 3. Prince of Persia 2. (havent played it its getting reviewed as something great.). WoW. Paper Mario 2. (And others I dont feel like thinking about.)
yes, its the Christmas of Sequels but Sequels of some of the Best Franches (yea i know WOW isnt a sequel, but its part of the warcraft universe).
and its just funny that Gamespot is just making it seem like the opposite of that.
lol, talk about going against the grain.
peace
