I watched the game (I don't own a PS3 and I have no intentions of getting one for one game) just out of completion's sake and it was okay. By the fourth one I was pretty used to the silliness and didn't really care about how "realistic" anything was.

Too bad Hideo Kojima is a shill and is now creating a fifth one.

Only thing I don't like about it is the fact you get 90% of the experience from the movies. Which is par for the course for this series, but it felt worse this time around.

Seriously, I burned them to DVD and I basically never have to touch it again. I do enjoy it, but it didn't feel like much of a game. If I recall right, people can beat it in like 2 hours once you take the movies out.

It's my favourite of the saga. It has so many heartbreaking moments, and it even has a happy ending! (sort of, well.)

It saddens me that the fandom shuns it so much for not being as ~edgy~ as 2, or action-packed as 3.

I know the majority of it was cutscenes, but you know what? I loved pretty much every moment of it. I think Patriots and Snake Eater were my favorites, and the ending was perfection to me. Don't let anyone else make you feel bad for loving it, OP.

I hate a lot about MGS4 but I would never, ever judge anyone else for loving it best of all. Out of all the games, it was definitely the one that moved me emotionally the most.

I really wanted to grab this game, but my experience with the 3rd one was that I SUCKED AT IT SO BAD. I couldn't get past the first mission (somewhat about stealthing through some enemy camps and a bridge) without being seen and failing it...

None of those were the problems I had with the it. I thought it was a fairly well-told, stirring, fitting...

...Ending cutscene to the series. Not a game.

My thoughts exactly. The things the OP listed weren't my problems with the game. My problems with the game were: how short the gameplay sequences were, how many scenes needed a good snipping of the editor scissors, how many of the supernatural elements were explained away with "lol it was the nanomachines", etc.

Trufax: there were several cutscenes during which I checked my watch and wondered aloud how many times a character was going to repeat something they'd already said. Especially the weapons trader dude and his monkey.

Show, don't tell is something Kojima is never going to master, it seems.

iirc, Kojima was dragged kicking and screaming to make this game. I think he didn't really give much of a shit when he was doing it (and out of spite made it DEPRESSING AS HELL)

I still thought it was fine though

I liked MGS4, even with all the halfassery and character botching it had. It wasn't a terrible game by any means. Depressing as hell, maybe.

What I'm mad about is Hideo Kojima creating MGS5. MGS4 was supposed to be the last of the series so Kojima could work on other stuff. Kojima is awesome but for the love of god, I wish he'd stop letting other people push him around.
