EGM are idiots

thank u psu for reviewing it at the day of the release so you wont have to omit to there terms i wouldnt like a review like ign or other sites that dont give a full in depth stance on the game.

I don't like the sound of the installs betweent 'Acts'. But other than that, next week cannot come any sooner! This game will be PS3 Game of the Year, without a doubt. I hope this sell's mega-well. Hopefully, I'll be getting this on the 11th, if my 'friend' is working.... =D

Product placement? Just how much did this game cost to make that they will be supporting ads?  I hope they don't pull the same crap with the online portion.

Really now? Is that is what all the fuss is about? Its great to clear the air.

Who cares? If Kojima are asking reviews to not review a bad point in the game you would have heard about it. Probably in the form of "there were a few bad points but due to restrictions where not allowed to label them."

IGNs review is enough to make me happy.

I agree with Emo-Mercenary, the 'install' between acts is disturbing. 2-3 minutes is very noticeable. However I will have to judge for myself if it's noticeable when I get my hands on it. The only thing I would like to know in reviews is exactly how much HDD space is needed for the entire installation.

2-3 minutes omg! wtf do they expect me to do for 2-3 minutes? I'm definitely  not going to buy this game now...jeez...(sarcasm)

I wonder if Gamespot will do a review now

:rolleyes:

Of course, who wants these reviewers to spoil it when I know some members here and other sites will do that part already? Keep the story intact until you pick up a copy.

psn id: gingo.... these guidelines make sense, no use having a game hyped up for it to lose it just before its release becasue someone gave the story away the install times between acts sound ok but i would much rather preferred a longer load time at the beginning instead

The Installs may be long but i don't mind at all because MGS4 is one of the most anticipated titles of the year. I don't someone ruining the games story when its a week away from being released

Yeah...not nearly the mad conspiracy it was made out to be, eh?

As I said before, EGM was just using this as an excuse to preen and act like they were setting themselves apart from their competition by holding true to some ethical standard.  LAME!

That's fair enough from Konami, I reckon. I think Gamepsot and EGM are just kicking up un-necesary fuss to garner negative vibes from the game.

Not that MGS fans would want them reviewing it anyway as theyd just give it a 7 - which is not a bad score necessarily, but far below what MGS the series as a whole, the fans, and Kojima deserve.

I'm not reading anything more about mgs4, I just want to discover the hole game when I play it, I like surprises!

I would'nt want people spoiling these topics in a review. So I'm happy Konami sent out these restrictions.

You know something it dosent even matter what the reviewers say anyway because we're all still going to buy the game. if you let something like a 2 minute install (brobably for a new stage of the game) then you werent a fan anyway and it's beeter you copy went to someone that actually CARED.

They're right why would they want someone to ruin a suprise in a review. I mean sure Assassin's Credd was trying to keep the big secrete for it's game and failed miserably but even after that failure you were still going to have the story ruined for you if you managed to avoid hearing the spoiler because of the reviews all stating it from the get go with a couple of minor exceptions.

DONT LOOK AT THE REVIEWS! THAT IS WHAT I AM DOING to AVOID ANY TYPE OF SPECULATION. I WANT THIS GAME TO BE NOTHING SHORT OF SURPRISING

mtgs4 did u really expect any negative marks? i didn't think so.

I wish there were reviews I could read anymore.  Nobody ever seems to make a spoiler-less review now.

Only an 8 minute install at the begining with a 50gb game? Man, I wanna see into the brains of the techies that did this!

This explains a lot now. Something that Gamespot failed to do when I read their side to it earlier. The way GS made it sound as if Konamii was taking away their freedom of speech. But this clears up everything and just lets me know not to even bother going to GS site for any type of info.

In other words no spoilers which is a good thing.

yeah i wouldn't want that weird adam sessoler guy telling me the ending of metal gear solid 4. esspecially x-play a well funded 360 show muahahaha they know the secrets to destroying a ps3 exclusive. they will give MGS4 a 3 out a 5 and then re do it i bet.

Well, i dont really give a s*t about the act part as i will at some point have to take break and thinking of acts like other games that means you have to be stupid or sick to be able to play several acts without break. Anyways besides that some of the points made were to protect the product and from business view.  Its being released soon so why make fuzz about this 1 week before release?
