About Me



My names Dan. I live in Melbourne.
I love gaming, and I love guitar, though I don't get as much time to do as much of either as I'd like between working and living.

I'm a Graphic Designer, I love my Metal.

I've got some of my art and design work up here.



I've also got a few T-Shirt designs online too, check it.






I'm also part of a podcast, a very unofficial one. Made by Aussies for Aussie Dtoiders and other Dtoiders who like to listen to Aussie Dtoiders. Check that shit out.

That's about it.

Is MGS4 worth $750 to you?
DanMazkin | 10:31 PM on 06.12.2008 22 comments




The Metal Gear Solid 4 hype train is running in overdrive, and it's fucking working like a charm on me right now.

You see, I've played all the games in the Solid series and loved every single one, with Snake Eater ranking as one of my favortie games of all time, and now that I'm faced with the 4th and possibly last game in the series I've come across a dilemma.
I don't own a PS3. I've never really seen the need for one, as I'm not a massive graphics whore, and the days of each system having a long list of exclusives are long gone. I figured that 95% of games will be out on both systems, so why not stick with just the 360. BUT, I need to play MGS4. I need to own it. I can't stop thinking about it. I even find myself humming the damn theme music in the shower.

It must be mine, yet is it worth paying the price of a PS3 just to play one game?? Would you fork over that much cash for it or would you just hold out?

I'm buying a PS3 with this game but it certainly won't be the only game I buy. Motorstorm, Resistance, Uncharted, Unreal Tournament III. There are tons of games I want on my future PS3.

I think in the end yeah really worth it, I bought by 360 about 2 months. The only reason I chose that system is the avaiable games that I wanted to play. I think the PS3 is a good system, so it's not like your only buying it for that one game they'll be others. I'm saving now to get one.

No.

But I already own the console so it's mandatory that I pick this up.

...Even though stealth games suck balls...

No.

A million fucking times no.
There is no reason to buy a console for one game. That is fucking stupid.

The game is pretty spiffy, but yeah it's dumb to buy a console for just one game.

Playstation.... 3?!

I guess it depends on how much it means to you to finish the series....

...and how long you want to wait until someone drops a big fat spoiler in your lap when you aren't looking.

Where do you live, to where the PS3 cost $750?

And my answer is, yes, get the PS3 for MGS 4.

That's what I'm doing, but since I was trying to decide which console, seeing how I only have a Wii, I decided to go for the PS3.

@Brainderailment:
yeah I've been looking through what other exclusives the PS3 has right now and coming further down the track, but it's not really anything that gets me excited. I think its a good console and that it has potential, but it might not be quite worth the purchase just yet.

Woah, quite a dilema there huh?
Maybe wait for a price drop, or a good deal come december.

I got the PS3 for it, but not for $750. Snag the bundle for 500. If you are that into MGS, then do get it.

Why do people lambaste buying a system for just one game, when buying a system for multiple games costs even more money?

So many people bought a 360 for Halo. It's the same phenomenon.

@ThePlanMan

Those same people that bought it for Halo 3 are in the same view to me. That was stupid. If I buy a console for one game, then what the hell do I do when the game is done?

I already have a PS3 and im not sure I want this game.

I beat MGS2 and was left w/ a WTF disappointed ending; & i started MGS3 but never got into it (probably because of my frustration w/ MGS2's story).

The story seems ridiculous to me. But that's just me i guess.

I'll probably do like I did w/ MGS3 & wait for it to hit 20 bucks.

you should do it if you like a good amount of the other games on it. i bought a ps2 for mgs2. but it dosent matter as i love so many games on that console. i just hope the ps3 is graced with great games.

I had a ps3, and I'm glad I bought it. Mostly because I bought the 60 gig for 300 bucks and resold for 700 ^.^ But no this game is NOT worth 750 bucks sorry. I work at a gamestore and they have ps3s people can play, on a slow day I'm going to pop it in and play. But i know its 3/4 cut scenes so just go watch them on youtube :D
