  • I came here to read Hate, I need a giggle

  • than why did you guys just skipped the cutscenes and ignored the story?

  • @Savin97 You should have watched the video, they clearly said they sat through hours of cutscenes

  • i feel like i have to yow on this video since you guys are done the podcast

    YOW!

  • MGS1 > MGS3 >MGS4 >MGS2. imo.

  • It is perfectly reasonable for people to have a problem with their review of Metal Gear Solid 4 if they disagree with it because they like the game, it is NOT reasonable to disagree with them simply because you think they shouldn't be allowed to not like a game that ign likes.

  • MGS4 was pure fan service!

  • This is my favourite noobtoob episode. The Mgs4 review is hilarious.

  • Comment removed

  • Why you like Angelina Jolie ? Everybody knows she'a a shemale. Have you seen her face ? That's how shemales look like after plastic surgery.

  • Wow, the fanboy comments on this video are pretty damn outrageous. I love the MGS series, but lets be serious, the game was less than stellar. The constant interruption of 45 minute cut scenes that, realistically, add nothing to the game is pretty frustrating. There's no need to follow an hour cut scene that explained why I can't use the guns (or whatever he was talking about I don't really know I got bored) with a half hour cut scene explaining the same.

    That being said, I enjoyed the game.

  • I play MGS 4 to fall asleep...

  • I am OK with the cut scenes in MGS4, but I find the controls very horrid. MGS4 is just a whole bunch of annoying ass gameplay and dull cutscenes. It's a bunch of dozing off during cutscenes and spending 10 minutes sneaking, being found, killed, and replaying the same annoying 10 minutes. I loved Heavy Rain, and it was all a semi-cutscene. MGS4 sucks you acknowledge that then turn around and give a thumbs up to Heavy Rain. MGS4 is just a horrible game, not for any one reason.

  • OMFG emo tobin?! WTF !!!!

  • MGO was the sellingpoint. i think the cutscenes was a way to distract from how little diskspace they had for singleplayer.

  • the shotgun thing about metal gear cutscenes is fuckin hilarious.

    love when u use it in more recent eps. you guys rule.

  • MGS 4 was awesome PERIOD, if your a fan of the series then it is a great wrap up for the series 

  • what duss apropryate meen?

  • If you still have your copies of MGS4, you should upload a video of you destroying the disc and the box with something, how fucking hilarious would that be XD

  • I know you guys are taking a lot of heat for MGS4 but I totally agree with you, I am a hardcore fan of MGS but I totally agree that they went overboard with the cutscenes.

  • its like a damn anime

  • LOL 10:33 through 10:15

  • @flybirdefly i mean 10:33 through 10:57

  • MGS is an aquired taste.

  • @MatticusFinch1820 Tobin played the second one which is pretty much the first one, and loved it. He played the third one, and didn't enjoy it as much. He has a taste for the GOOD MGS.

  • I thought it was hilarious that you Tobin, called the cutscenes movies :D hahaha

  • My friend just told me that I can't say that MGS4 is a bad game, because I haven't beaten the previous ones. I had a hard time containing my laughter.

  • @Eastersmurf Does that mean you have to beat 12 Final Fantasies to have an opinion about 13? :)

  • @tobin00 That's pretty much exactly what I said. His retort was "no, but you need to understand it in order to like it." So I brought up Assassin's Creed 2. Sure, you might understand the plot better if you've played the first one, but I would not deem it to be necessary. (and also, the first one was shit :D:D) At this point he just called me a retard and walked away.

  • @tobin00 your metal gear sold review is the same way i fell about the first 25 hours of final fanasy 13. what up with games having long cut scene

  • @tobin00 more of a MGS4 really catered to fans :L im pretty satisfied with the story they made

    and MGS PeaceWalker was a great excuse for another BigBoss game so its a fan thing i guess, much like how some people holy shit with God hand for ps2 ya get me?

  • @tobin00 At the risk of being a total dick for calling you out on something you said a year ago... It's just that this is the only thing I've ever seen you write or say that I disagree with.

    Anyway, I don't think there exists a man who could enjoy MGS4 without playing 1-3. just 10 hours of people rambling on about nanomachines...

  • @tobin00 well ff doesnt have a connected story with inside jokes and easter eggs reccuring along with the fact that you reunite with many characters from the first 3 games.you guys should've just given up on the cutscenes since you obviously aren't metal gear fans.also i don't get how you guys can complain about 3 min. of sneaking at the beginnning where you arent even supposed to kill anybody without a trang.i know its a little late to say this but i was re watching and had to comment.

  • @tobin00 Don't forget the spinoffs!

  • @Eastersmurf you can say whatever cause each game is different story but you can't evaluate it like a metal gear fan ...  whoever knows Snake and the shit he've been through can understand why is he like that in MGS4

  • Coming back and reading all these comments is hilarious. I love just pressing "Ctrl+F" to look for all your replies to the comments and just laugh at all the haters that had stupid comments that were surprisingly worth replying to. :)

  • MGS 4 IS MY FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME!!!

  • Tobin, you took your time to get the ''just married'' trophy, but still even though its old news, congradulations man, and maybe Range''Killer Croc''Strunk is next. I bought, played, and beat MGS4 and it desirves Game of the Year Award, but they still could've shortened the cutscenes.

  • these guys are the shit. everything they say is true.

  • so its just not there game , and also if you havent played the first 3 MGS you wont get the story , so i totaly agree with these guys good job it warns you properly if you dont like story its a crap game :D

  • Hmm nice review to be honest im a complete MGS fanboy but this game is played by people who prefer GAMEPLAY over STORY , And besides its not like the gameplay is very good or anythings its fun but not great only reason i love this game is the characters and the story couse i played this stuff from day 1. But keep in mind guys this is there opinion and there people just like me who have a job and shit and so dont have the time to play such games where theres more movie then gameplay ,

  • "i think thises peoplz are fagzors for not likng metal gear soild 4, i think the cutscenes are amazng and you two are just idiots who like blowing each othr!!!!"

    In conclusion, this is a great noobtoob episode and all you noobtoob haters are wrong, or fuck you.

  • the thing about metal gear solid is that the story is the main part, then the stealth, then the action.people playing these games for anything else, or just for the thrill and the action (like CoD fags) will be disappointed. also the reason these guys don't like it is just because of the fact that they have no time in the week. it IS worth the time, if you enjoy the storyline

  • Im amazed at all the fan boy comments about MGS4, its THEIR opinion....damn.

  • MGS4 was a great game but MGS1 still one of the best of all time.

  • MGS1-bEST CHARACTERS, ENDING,scenario, MGS2-Best boss battles, action/setting, mgs3, stealth was spot on, characters were charismatic, and ending made me very emotional no ididnt cry, man the stealth was so effective i even got fooled at times, i stopped smokin weed naw when i used to i used to playMGS 1, 2, 3, BOY Did it make me jump, kojima ur the man keep on makin mgs, dont stop, u will always impress, no matter wat the tagline says

  • Why do these people bother, Mgs is about stealth-ing ur way to ur checkpoint 4 abt 20 minutes, KO An enemy or 2n then watch the cutscenes, it works well u have a fag, watch the scene then boom comes the action, man kojima is THE God of games, kojima u continue to suprise us all the time, how many games can pull that off, Cut-scenes, tactical/fun/realistic action, orignal award winning music, enigmatic and charming characters, other games can only imagine to pull of at least 1 bit of that,

  • you guys sound like betweeners that kinda got caught in the cross fire HENCE why u wanted to skip the scene cuz it was boring BUT simutaniously you knew about metal gear to make you want more HENCE why you felt that if you skipped it you might "miss something" so overall you let

    1. LONG CUTSCENES

    2.BUYING THE GAME FOR THE WRONG REASONS (i dont care what u guys say the purpose of this game was the story then the kick ass action *that there was plenty of i might add*)

    ruin the experince for you

  • so all an all THE REAL REVIEW FOR THIS GAME lies anywhere from 7-10 depending on your prefrences but honestly its a 9 for me from a unbiast gamer opinion THIS GAME DID WHAT IS WAS MEANT TO. It was meant to tie in the other metal gears FOR NEWCOMERS hence why the long cutscenes (*man if u guys would only think for a second and stop sipping wine u might have realized that*) YES THEY WHERE somewhat indulgent but was a neccessary evil. it was made for new commers and fans

    cont...

  • FUN FACTOR- put porn down for guards to look at, sneak up on ppl and make em surrender then shoot em in da face, plant c4 and send em 10 feet in the air, eat, smoke, send otacons lil RC car (lol) to run around an taze ppl, the list goes on and on

    REPLAY VALUE: i havent played online but heard it was decent and LIKE YOU SAID LOTS OF UNLOCKABLES and guns to try and get not to mention just sheer fun and im sure for YOUR WHINEING PLEASURE.....YOU CAN SKIP SCENES AND JUST PLAY

    ...cont

  • YES kojima is an indulgent prick but THE GAME IS GOOD. NOT A TEN BUT STILL ONE OF THE BEST FUCKING GAMES TO DATE! REASONS:

    GRAPHICS- SOME of the best graphics to date bowing down to uncharted of course but what games doesnt?

    CONTROLS- the controls ARE excellent and I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM, TOBIN!..!.YOU PLAYING previous MGS GAMES should have NO problems controlling snake. and wazinabe or whatever ur name is i can tell u lack good stealth if u NEED a tranq gun and radar to get past the begining

  • ok what is a thumbs down to you? 5? 3? whats a thumbs down? because I DO AGREE WITH YOU ITS NOT A TEN! THE CUTSCENES ARE LONG...but common guys are u serious? you guys are honestly bitching...i can honestly say u guys are pussies if cutscenes, and tutorials COMPLETLEY killed it for you IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT THIS GAME FOR THE WRONG REASONS...the main reason to by the game WAS THE STORY!!! that is the metal gear sagas WHOLE THING is STORY FIRST! then action and blowing shit up

    cont...

  • @theflyest310 But the story's not interesting! I tried to watch a walkthrough from a Youtuber who's walthroughs I usually love but I couldn't even watch a few episodes.

  • The writing isn't very good because its dubbed.

  • TOBIN U R SO WRONG we can pause and skip ur wine ding

  • completely agree about mgs4. especially the boat cutscene in act 3. and i actually finished the whole game. fuck my life

  • MGS 4 is the best game for the PS3

  • lol Tobin and Yuzo are puzzle junkies

  • Or at least equal as most recent shooters, so if you have played the previous games you'll feel at home with the controllers, other than as i said before i think it's one of the best if not the best game of this 7th generation and it's just worth it to buy a PS3 just for this game, but this is just an opinion from a gamer that likes good stories in games, nothing a fact, i don't agree with the things you guys said in this episode but i can honestly agree that MGS4 is not for everyone

  • Halo, GoW and maybe RE damn i love those games a lot, and their gameplay is as fun as MGS but in my opinion none of those games overall stand to the complexity of MGS, gameplay wise i've seen cousins playing the game on Easy for the first time and they keep dying over and over and they usually skip the cutscenes, i admit the control scheme is too dificult for a newcomer but for fans i don't want to sound like a pro but the Hard mode is way more easy than MGS3 Hard mode, but it's harder than

  • Video games can really do in terms of design, storyline, action, and just a lot of things, in other words i consider this game a Master piece that anyone that likes good games and don't skip cutscenes should play because the mayority of gamers of this generation are used to play other type of shooter games like Halo (I'm not saying that every gamer acts this way, and i do love Halo) where there are cutscenes but the complexity of the Story and the dialogue isn't compared to a MGS, and not just

  • I think Ninja Gaiden 2 Is AWESOME!!!! The camera is a little annoying( for me), i played on acalyite or whatever and it wasnt hard. I LOVE IT.AND THE COMBAT IS AWESOME!!!

  • I just played through Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2 again recently and loved every second. I have had a PS3 for a year now and felt it was time to try MGS4. Your review has made me very worried :L

  • @gameandfilmfan Dude if you've loved the previous ones you'll absolutely love MGS4 is in my opinion ¨The best game of this 7th Generation¨ but obviously you had to enjoy and played the previous entries, the story is just amazing and the cutscenes are epic , yeah there are some cutscenes with a way lot of talking but i think we saw that in MGS3 too, and i must say MGS3 is my 2nd favorite game of all time you should play it if you haven't, as a gamer i must say that this is an example of what

  • I am almost done with the game and it has been one of my favourite games ever :D

  • Maaaaaan. That REALLY needed to be said about MGS4. Reviewers who gave that 90% or above were either utterly corrupt, on drugs or both. I wonder how many approx. hours of gameplay there actually are in the game. Someone must've done an estimate. Maybe Sony had such people assasinated.

  • i liked mgs4

    being a fan of the series for about 5 years was worth it when i played MGS3 and MGS4

  • i think mgs4 is the shit but it didn't give me the same feeling that i got when i played the ones before

  • MGS4 was overrated, if not for the graphics even fanboys would be bitching about it. Finally reviewers who ant afraid of fanboys, these guys got journalistic integrity unlike gamespot and ign who are the game companies pocket.

  • Its called an opinion you fanboy cunt nugget. Go fuck your mother.

  • I loled hard on your Hideo Kojima "retiring" thing, LOLOLOLOLOL.

  • i played the first mgs when i was 7 loved em since then

  • I get why you guys are saying the negative comments about MGS4 from your perspective. The metal gear series can't be played by someone who didn't start playing it from the first one, cause as you said it sucks. Everything will be total jibberish if you even missed one game in the series. Total agreement with you guys: metal gear is only for the fanboys who played it from the very beginning.

  • what do you mean "fanboy" ? so any1 that like a series , say FF , or halo , or any game series out there , and played every game of the franchise is a fanboy ? im not saying that it's entirely not true , but im saying that it's a bad use of "fanboy" . it is true that you need to play every single MGS game out there to understand MGS4 , but they were good . the story isnt something that would win an Oscar award , but it's better than a lot of games out there .

  • I think I made a rage comment waaay back like when you released this, but it wasn't really pure rage.

    But basically MGS4 is shit, atleast in comparison to the old games.

    Story is a fucking mess.. MGS2 is the best in the series, then MGS1. No game have ever disappointed me as much as MGS4 did.

  • Thank you.

  • Yea I have to admit MGS4 was not that good. I tried to get into the story but I just got bored.

  • noobtoob reviewed mgs 4 as a game not as a game for specifically for the fans.

    yes the cut scenes are long. but its a must buy for the fans of mgs. you need to know what happens to snake in the end. you need to know whats gonna append in the end with the patriots and all that stuff.

    its a good game for the fans but nothing that specil for the average gamer who knows little about mgs.

    personally i loved it and glad i bought it And finished it all. all mgs games are golden except 2.

  • tobin can you give me som tips for stop somking?

  • If I wanted to watch a movie on army shit, I'd watch Saving Private Ryan.

    And it wouldn't cost me 60 frigging dollars.

  • Oh man I recently beat NG2 on warrior mode(or whatever the hell "normal" is). I know im not probably not the only one to do this but GOD DAMN the people who have deserve a giant shipment of brownies from team ninja or something 'cuz that shit is rediculous. Also metal gear is waay over rated imo. I've played mgs4 and sort of enjoyed parts of it, but I totally agree with everything these guys say, epecially the writing and over-the-top-anime-reaction voice acting.

  • METAL GEAR FAGGGGGG

  • Too bad that whole thing about you being speechless was a falsehood.

  • ouch!

    Got me there.

  • Look smart arse. Maybe you don't agree with what these guys are saying, but that doesn't mean you should pretend that you're not a fanboy. A few small lessons for you: 1) Sentences start with capital letters, I'm still at school and I even know that. 2) Don't bring fitness into the equation, fitness and gaming are at the two opposite ends of the spectrum of life. And finally, everyone has a different opinion, accept it, and stop being, as we Brits like to say, a totally wanker.

  • I was simply stating my opinion and my feelings towards this video and even i see that it is unfair. But no matter, even if i try, i know i wont change it. Im sorry if i caused you any stress but what i said wont change because it is how I see it. Also I show many signs of being a fanboy and I know it. But the reason i am a half fanboy was because it was such an amazing experience and is a game that should at least be played to the end before i will hear anyone's opinion of it.

  • @EmperorSaul Actually, we brits say a total wanker not tottaly. Also we brits hate brits like you.

  • Lmao, what's up your ass?

  • Still continuing from my last post. I'm not saying Tobin and Yuzo are wrong or right about MGS4 or few other games they didn't like but I liked even me as a fan thought the cut scenes were too long but unlike the other 3 you couldn't pause them for a break unless you had theater mode(which was in MGS3:subsistence) and seeing the progress of every character from MGS1-4 was amazing sight and close every plot in this game that has going on for 20 years and it make everything fit together.

  • continuing from my last post. Both of you guys are on act 3 their 5 acts total so yall are about to beat it. The first act in the middle east had the most frequent cut scenes and the last act has the longest. So if you do get a chance maybe yall should finish the game and maybe your opinion the game might change. I understand why a lot of people may not like this game I've played this game and other MGS games often. I give this game a thumbs up buy it. Give it another chance.

  • Tobin and Yuzo yall have played the other 3 MGS games you've been through this before. The game play can be long or short depending if you wanna sneak or just kill people or buy weapons or help rebels. I love MGS games the story has hooked me since the first game and I can't choose just one because each game had so many great moments and characters and plot twist. I wish I could play as Raiden but everyone complained about him in MGS2 and that's why we can't play as him.

  • I liked MGS4 a lot more when I said "fuck it" to the story and just played the game. I went through it again with the story, but I zoned out so much it was like I skipped the scene. The camera in Ninja Gaiden 2 makes baby dolls cry, like the PS3.

  • i like metal gear solid 4 i only look at the intresting cutscenes i liked the gameplay i actually loved it it was fun but i agree that it has very very long cutscenes

  • I can deffinatly see how some people could not like MGS4 but i just got my ps3 a couple days ago with MGS4 and i love it i can not get enough of eveything but thts cus im a huge matal gear fan but i can deffinatly see how somebody would hate this

  • One thing though about MGS4...Has anyone also noticed that Snake likes to hump the ground?

    Kinda awkward

  • i agree with the review. i loved mgs1 2 and 3 , but mgs 4 was a pile of shit , apart from about 3 hours of it . the problem is obviously the stupid, boring, mundane cutscenes , but also that you get a shit load of weapons that you never get to use properly.

  • What's so great is I love MGS4, and have enjoyed every moment of it, and I still love watching you guys. You understand that the game isn't for you. HA! And interactive movie is a great way to describe this game.

    I give thumbs up..

  • Thanks! I love when people can respectfully disagree, not everyone is going to agree with us, but I'm glad you still enjoy watching!

  • Do me a favor and quit trolling where adults are speaking, because your ignorance and stupidity are tiresome. Oh wait, you just got banned, guess that's taken care of.

  • dude i love watching your podcasts but you guys have the weirdest view of games

  • 0mfg u guyz are t3h fagz0rz for hat1ing my favourite interactive movie, MGS4, EAT MY FURY OF FANBOYISM!  :P

  • Interactive movie. Nice. :)

  • they don't know what fuck they are talking about they suck dick

  • If your broken english is stating that Yuzo and I are untalented in the art of fellatio, then you are correct sir.

  • what bitch ? explain your self

  • Do not waste your time...these guys lack brain power....at 15:03 they really show that..."The game is not for us" oh yeah so since it's not that means it's shit...Another thing...whenever every series comes to an end, it's always LONGER to explain the story THAT GOES BACK IN THE 60's...that's alot to cover...but in the end these guys cant play MGS worth a penny...funny how they claim 2 hours of gameplay which is pure horse shit...THIS GAME IS BY FAR A 10.

  • i thought the game sucked ass

    but i got it for free with my ps3 so i didnt care

  • MGS4 just didn't have the stealth and atmosphere that we have all come to know and love. It was akward, lots of things were unecessary.The girl enemies were a joke. ANDWHATTHEFUCK!!! Mei Ling wasnt Chinese!!!

    Fuck you Kojima, your a sellout.

  • 0:15:04 - agreed

  • not to nag but HONESTLY i got to referense to eat leads matt hazard. "oh like you got any better to do" the cutseans are amazing and its graphicaly and story is amazing

  • i dont have a ps3 and this even pisses me off 1 hour and 30 minute cutscene?!!! are you fucking kidding me?! if i had this game id say fuck the story skip every cutscene and enjoy the 2 hours and decent gameplay for 60 bucks what a rip! im glad i dont have a ps3 because id probably get suckered in to buying that shit

  • The gameplay is by far the best out there, but yeah the cutscene is ridiculously long...lol...

  • the cutsceans are amazing and needed for story

  • But gameplay is needed to enjoy the game if i wanted a story i would see a movie

  • Its been literally over a year and people are still getting pissed off? Wow, Imagine if you intended to piss these guys off.

  • i just skipped the cutscenes when i wanted to.

  • I have watched every episode of your show and tho I may not agree with everything you 2 say I have a lot of respect for you guys and thoroughly enjoy your show . You guys are the blue collar game preview/review show and it is funny , informative and the most important thing , you guys are real gamers just like us . Your not doing for the money your doing it for the gamers and the games and I would like to thank the both of you , so thanks ! please dont ever quit, one of the best hours of my week

  • Thanks for watching, we appreciate the kind words.

  • In Nija Gaiden 2 all you have to do is press the right trigger to center the camera its not that bad but it does get a little wonky . But you have to understand that the game is so crazy fast that the camera cant move that quick and in my opinion the small spaces are better for you because you can hit multiple enemies at once so use the camera to your advantage . anytime you are in a small space just use the the Lunar Staff it has a large reach and is your best friend in tight areas

  • . I have no idea what the hell Tobin was talking about when he said that the combat is not deep , are you kidding me , it has the best combo system and the deepest move set then any other game on the market  today . This is a thinking mans game , like Yuzo said you CAN NOT button mash in this game if you do then 2 thigs will happen , you'll DIE and you will not appreciate the complexity and beauty of the combo system

  • You guys are totally right about MGS4 my friends play through it like a million times.

  • i never play a mgs 4 recently and i loved it and i never played and of the mgs before but i lke this some of the cut sences were a bit long. but i really loved this game

  • You don't have to complete a game to review it, if that's the case, every game reviewer would be so damn fucking busy.

    All of you are like immature children getting pissed at one's opinion, get over it, you can't impress everyone with one game.

  • Guys please always Play the Original Japanese Games.

    Play Metal Gear Solid 4 in Japanese.

    You will not get bored of the Cutscenes.

  • hay guys i am not a fan of mgs but i really liked it

    and the cutscenes are the best

    i think u are wrong

  • congrats on getting married mate

  • Thanks!

  • Wait, you got married?? Big ups man. You need to do three things in this marriage; 1)say yes to everything she says, itll make your life much easier, 2)dont forget your anniversary, have fun with the no sex for 6 months, and 3) turn her to a complete gamer!!! wouldnt her being like "i just finished FF7, lets fuck" be so sexy?

  • I was like "God damn it guys,no!!Just let me watch the cutscene and shut the fuck up!IScrew it,I'm not gonna skip!".Is there a "Kojima's fanboy whores club" because I should join.

  • silentsniper125

    i agree

  • you guys need to finish it. You really should atleast get to shadow moses and the fight against mantis

  • Uh Halo, Call of Duty, Fable, Guitar Hero, Rock Band, GTA, anything besides MGS they were right for giving it a thumbs down but thats our opinion.

  • its the english voice acting that sucks.

  • lol the mgs series is now on xbox as annouced at the microsoft key note at E3

  • please dont see me as a fanboy but i liked the cutscenes a lot. i just listen to every word they say and just watch it like a film and its actually pretty good

  • Hey, to each their own. That's why we're not fanboys, we don't make fun of people for liking a game we don't like, we're just here to give you our opinion!

  • i remember when they said that this game would be impossible to fit on a 360 disc, i wonder if the cut scenes werent so long could they port it "(not a fan boy, i have and love all three systems for what they're good at).

  • couldnt you just skip the cutscenes and then use the codec to ask where you have to go next? then you wouldnt have to watch the cutscenes and could ignore the story entirely. :)

  • You guys are right about the game. As a fan of MGS, even I thought this was an annoying story too.

  • lol the camera is an enemy!!! LOL! SO TRUE!
