MGS 4 vs GTA IV
So the questions we will explore in this debate is is there such a thing as a perfect game and which of these games is the best.
Let the ripping apart begin.
10/10
We start off this debate with the question "Does any game deserve 10/10?"
To me 10 out of 10 means that everyone should like the game no matter what as 10 out of 10 denotes that the game is perfect. So tell me what you think on the subject.
Does any game deserve 10/10? Also tell me why you think so.

If no game can be perfect enough for a 10/10 rating, you might aswell make 9/9 the highest score.

the problem is that multiple review sights have given games 9.7's 9.8's even 9.9's. If mgs4 or gta4 is better than one of those games, it would only be fair to up the anny.

Hy!
i think no game can possibly be a real vs to MGS4 besides i don't really like GTA at all, for me metal gear is always a 10, the quality of graphics, the gameplay and more.. GTA is very exiting but as all its title before it becomes very rutinary after some time..
There is an unoficcial votation to pick the best game amonght this two, maybe you could be interested here is the link.. ROck on MGS!!!

id say yes becuase this game actually has a meaning to it if you listen carefully to the cutscenes and understand the story its as if it was real, (why war starts, who, how) i never get bored of it but not to stereo type not everybody loves this game as much as i do

Red says:
Yes; 10/10 is not a representation of perfection, but it means that the games does things never done before, or advances the genre, or is perfect in all that it tries. In this respect, I would say MGS4 deserves a 10, but GTA4 doesn't. However, game rankings have been skewed higher recently (more games getting scores above 9 than ever before); are games really all improving? *looks at wii games*

Gav says:
I believe that if a game lives up to its expectations, and has been as well made as possible, it should receive 10/10, regardless of bugs or glitches etc. This is because if a brilliant game cant score 10, it makes it pointless, and then they should only go up to 9.

mgs4 is the best online game ever but gta iv is better craic more to do and is free roam.but metal gear has better guns too.overall i'd say both i just couldn't pick.depends on other ppl

10/10 for a game? We all know this shouldn't happen. It suggests a perfect game, graphics are perfect, storyline is pefect, everything is perfect. And it will be absolutely loved by everyone. Well, shocker! Nothings pefect!

Zaphod B. says:
No, because 10 out of 10 denotes that every1 should like the game.
MGS4 is only really a 7 out of 10 game (maximum). Cutscenes in games are ok, but when they go on for that long it really makes you want to rip the game out of the drive and throw the damn disc in the fire.

personally i wouldnt give any game 10/10. but mgs4 and gta4 comes extremely close. ppl who say that gta4 is better than mgs4 are stupid. its like comparing star wars to indiana jones. they arent in the same type of genre. one focuses on story and feelings while another focuses on the realism and hard life. both games hit their mark and both deserves praise; none lesser than the other.

If any game gets a 1010 .. it should automatically be deducted to 9.9 for making other games look bad
Posted June 22, 2008
Matt says:
No. 10/10 is, literally, perfection. That means that every single texture is perfectly aligned, and not repeated once. Every single model is perfect in detail. There are absolutely 0 bugs at launch. The FPS never drops below 60. Ect, ect. And, on top of that, the game mechanics, balance, skill factor, yada yada have to be 100% spot on. It's just not possible to make something that perfect. 10/10 shouldn't mean that the game is really, really, good (as some reviews use it), but that the game is _perfect_.

No, games always have flaws. GTA IV and MGS4 have a lot of game play time now they're on blu-ray. PS3 MGS4 is an epic and I did buy them both. MGS4 wins hands down.

No, a single game can never possibly be perfect. A game will never appeal to all - there will always be some that do not appreciate the game and no game will ever warrant a 10/10 for that reason I feel.

The Perfect Video Game
Heres a poll on the perfect video game so we can tell which side is winning.
Metal Gear Solid 4
Guns of the Patriot
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (commonly abbreviated to MGS4) is a stealth action video game in the popular Metal Gear series. Directed by Hideo Kojima, Shuyo Murata and Yoji Shinkawa, Guns of the Patriots was developed by Kojima Productions exclusively for the PlayStation 3 video game console. The game, designed around the motto, "No Place to Hide!", is the last Metal Gear game developed by Hideo Kojima, and the last game in the series starring Solid Snake. The game was released worldwide on June 12, 2008, 10 years after the release of Metal Gear Solid and 20 years after the first Metal Gear.Gameplay
In Metal Gear Solid 4, the player (Old Snake) must navigate the game world in order to progress, using stealth and cunning in addition to traditional combat. It uses the series' traditional third person view with full camera manipulation, but also allows the freedom to play in first-person mode, as well as an over the shoulder view which can be switched from right shoulder to left for corner maneuvering. The Close Quarters Combat system has been completely revamped. The player is also able to interrogate guards for information and supplies.

Grand Theft Auto IV
Grand Theft Auto IV (abbreviated to GTA IV and GTA 4) is a sandbox-style action-adventure video game developed by Rockstar North."Grand Theft Auto IV: GamePro is the first to play the biggest game of 2008," GamePro 235 (April 2008): 50-51. It is the ninth title in the Grand Theft Auto series and the first in its fourth generation. Grand Theft Auto IV was released worldwide (except in Japan) on 29 April 2008 for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Two episodic packs will be released exclusively for the Xbox 360, the first of which has been delayed until the first quarter of Take-Two's 2009 financial year.The game is set in a redesigned rendition of Liberty City, a fictional city based heavily on modern day New York City. It follows Niko Bellic, a war veteran from Eastern Europe, who comes to the United States in search of the American Dream, only to find his cousin has lied about the wealth that was promised to be awaiting him. Like other games in the series, GTA IV features "open-world" gameplay that gives the player more control over their playing experience. GTA IV is the first console game in the series to feature an online multiplayer mode, which contains fifteen different game types.
A major commercial and critical success, Grand Theft Auto IV broke sales records by selling about 3.6 million units on its first day of release and grossing more than $500 million in its first week. The game received overwhelmingly positive reviews, becoming the highest-rated video game of all-time on review aggregator sites Metacritic and Game Rankings for over a month after it was launched.

Which of these two games is the best and why?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byMetal Gear Solid 4
Jake says:
MGS4 has probably been the best (and hardest) game I have ever played. Before I got MGS4, I may have argued GTA, but now having played through it I have been forced to conclude that MGS beats GTA in almost every way. I don't want to go into detail, because I don't want to put a fucking monologue on this site.

These games can not be compared. They are both fantastic and are finally games that are worthy of a 10/10. Mgs4 great story i felt emotionally attached. The graphics are bloody fantastic. Gta4 whhat can i say? it just the absolute finest game in ps3 history

Storyline - MGS4
Gameplay - MGS4
Replay Value - GTA4 (just)
Multiplayer - (GTA4)
Graphics - MGS4
Audio - MGS4
Value (time to 100% complete) - GTA4
This is just my opinion, but MGS4 all the way. I just found GTA4 a little samey.
Posted April 02, 2009
Zach says:
As the two are different genres it is not really fair to compare the two, but if you had to Metal Gear is far superior due to how intricate its story is. It is also the end of a gaming legend, Solid Snake. With each GTA you can expect a new character and new background, however it is Solid Snake in all of them, except MGS3 Snake Eater, but that is a different story. Metal Gear is definately better gameplay and story wise to me, but since it is the end of a legend, and the last MGS headed by Hideo Kojima, it would take the cake in this situation.

The choice is simple, Metal Gear Solid 4. Who cares about the cutscenes. You can always skip them. MMGS4 has better gameplay, graphics, performance, and much much more. Its franchise is not repetitive unlike GTA 4. Its just a rip off version of the first 3 GTA with added bonus. MGO really beats the standards when you can have trophies. Me myself became MGo champion. The more you win, the higher rank of competiters you face. GTA online has a bunch of crack pot losers who dont even know basic movements. I agree that they both have a 10/10 rating but come on. You cant even consider them in the same category let alone class. Graphis are not better in GTA 4. All of you who said MGS 4 has no trophies dont know what the F*** your are talking about. Its just hype. I believe that GTA 4 is good but probably deserves a 7 out of 10. Im 13 and I know that GTA 4 is for losers who thinks they are cool because the game is rated M. It probably should still remain rated T for teen because no one mature will by this ****ing game. MGS 4 is the game. But before you say otherwise, get your facts straight. Atleast buy the game. It damn well has trophies online. Can you be a robot in GTA 4 as well as a character at the same time? Exactly. People on the Grand Theft Auto IV side should buy MGS 4 exept by assuming things from reviews. MGS 4 is the bomb.

I enjoyed both games a lot, but MGS 4 amazed me in a way that GTA 4 definitely did not. Sure, GTA 4 had some awesome new gameplay elements with an enjoyable story and had top-notch production value.. but MGS 4 did the same a lot better. It was simply more memorable.. and throughout the entire game I found no flaw. One major flaw GTA 4 had was that near the end it got way too repetitive.. and that brought the personal score I gave it from its original 10 to a 9. MGS 4 deserves not game of the year but game of the century.. while GTA 4 stands only as one of the better games of the year.

ForteanJo says:
GTA4 may lack the graphical polish of MGS4 but in sheer variety of gameplay it knocks the socks of MGS4.
Typical game play in GTA IV: Steal a car/fly a helicopter/buy a hotdog/play darts/play pool/drink 'n drive/buy clothes/shoot people/punch people/stab people/become a bounty hunter/become a taxi driver/watch TV/do stunts/drive around town/walk around town/evade the cops/take in a show/go to a strip joint/jump on a train/and on and on and on
Typical game play in MGS4: Watch a 20 min cut-scene, sneak past some soldiers, watch a 20 min cut-scene, take out a boss, watch a 20 min cut-scene, repeat for umpteen acts (did we really need a 20 min cut-scene at the end of every act to be followed by another 20 min cut-scene at the start of the next one?)
Now MGS4 is polished to the extreme but it's hard to become immersed in a game where you end up watching events unfold, especially where the story isn't exactly the easiest of things to follow.
If I wanted MGS4 style entertainment, I'd be better off playing Splinter Cell and pausing it every so often to watch Ghost in the Shell on DVD. Exactly same thing.
GTA4 might not have lived up to all the hype, but MGS4 is really a case of the Emperor's New Clothes, with all you fan boys playing the part of the Emperor.

Metal Gear Solid 4 has too many ****ing cutscenes. If they want to make a movie, they should make a ****ing movie, but without the pretense that it's a game. GTA IV, however, feels like a movie while retaining amazing gameplay.

i think gta 4 is better than metal gear simply because grand theft auto got a 10 so now their gona start giving a whole lot of games a 10.but i think the metal gear story line s much better then gta 4 but gta 4 has that feel to it that and in metal gear its all about killing and shooting wich get real boring and in gta u always have somthing to do but the one thing i hate about gta 4 is when u drive cars they dont turn realy well and its very hard to drive but both of these games go along in my top ten games along with banjo tooie, gta san andreas, gta vice city, gta vice city stories, mario kart 64,halo 1, and kingdom hearts 2.those games are kinduh gay but if u grewup with them and u play threw the story u get to like them alotso in all its kinduh a tie but i go with grand theft auto 4 ohh and before i forget gta 4 left out to many things that san andreas had and saints row is picking them all up and making an overall better game.but i still hate saints row for thinking they could mess with the gta series and say their better when their not

GTA seems to be a game for the masses, something to pick up and play for 20 minutes every once-in-a-while, but with no depth. MGS4 is impossible to just play for a short time, and wont suit everyone, but get into it and its a much MUCH more rewarding game.
