    It’s driving me up the wall that MGS4 never got a PC release; 1, 2, 3 and 5 all have steam releases (along with smaller titles), but not 4. I literally put off playing 5 until it got a PC release so I could play it (I have it on PS but my PS isn’t hooked up and I really can’t be bothered to game on console any more).

    Basically every MGS title got a PC release except the one I didn’t play; I call shenanigans.

    (I also point out the PC release thing because I actually played 1-3 on console, but I shelved my consoles before ever getting to 4)

      on all my mgs replays, i used to watch an mgs4 playthrough with no comments and while it was a bit sad to not play it, it was enough to enjoy the whole saga. on my last one i was able to setup a ps3 emulator and play it until chapter 3 and i have to say that by the amout of cutscenes and dialog it has, and how little you get to play between them, it is quite frustrating to play.

      i honestly wonder if a pc release would be the best. maybe an official re-edited movie with some additional scenes to make up for the gameplay parts would make the experience better. and then they could later do a remake that doesn’t interrupts you every new map and has more gameplay in general.
