I'm watching IGN's and Gametrailers's video reviews of MGS4 (in HD), and they include lots of laughs...mainly 'cause they talk about things that I find ridiculous because of all the spoilers I've read.
Both video reviews are pretty similar, though Gametrailers's is more informative since it also points out some negatives with the game. Another thing I find weird is that both trailers use the "MGS Theme", which I hear is not even in the game thanks to that whole "plagiarism" thing. I guess the song is just so awesome, that it's association with Metal Gear will never die...Which sucks, 'cause, again, it's not in MGS4. Also, both video reviews end with a line something like, "We salute you, Solid Snake!" with a scene from MGS4 with Snake saluting. lolz. The IGN review even says something like, "an honorable end for Snake." ...lolololol.
And also, I thought the product placement ended with the iPod in the game, which I thought was excusable because it actually could be used in the game...But look at Otacon's monitor...
XD. That doesn't really bother me, but I know it'll bother other people...though I guess it'll bother me that the same people who get worked up about product placement in movies like Transformers will be fine with it in MGS4.
And c'mon, I'm sure Apple will have released better monitors than that in 2014! I'm surprised that the phones some of the characters use aren't iPhones (I think I read somewhere that they're actually Sony Ericsons[sp?]).
