MGS4 is a good game.Sometimes i have to dissagree with the guy without glasses O.o.

This honestly has to be the best MGS4 rant video I've ever seen. Great job!

@xxDungeonzxx Mgs4 is a good game with a really good story,its just that some parts i find could use help:

Beauty and beast:They all have far too similar backstories.It felt a bit rushed,because their backstory was pretty predictable.

I also think that there could be far less weapons,and more spy stuff instead.

Personally, I loved watching every single cut-scene in MGS4 despite how long they can be. :)

@agentfire102 What!? Listen,I dont want to throw down your opinion but,The game play is AMAZING! Its so fun,and i love it.

@Curseco Thats because its very story orianted. You have to play all Metal gear's then you will love MGS4.

@AgentMorgan2010 How is MGS4 bad?!?! It's a cinematic masterpeace!! Personally,I have no problem with the series,it's done perfectly.I also don't get how you said MGS4's story is bad,that's basically impossible,considering it wrapped up the ENTIRE saga's storyline.So really,it's impossible to even say something like that unless you just really hate the series.

I swear to god, Kojima actually regressed as a writer. I was one of the two people who played Snatcher on Sega CD, and that game had an amazing story, especially for its time. The MGS also had a really good story (aside from a few minor contrivances, etc.) MGS2's story was HORRIBLE. MGS3's was also good, I just hated the bosses. MGS4's was also VERY BAD. Half of the reason is because it was a sequel to MGS2.

@agentfire102 What do you mean, nobody remembers GTAIV. I found that game to be the most boring GTA, but that game is still very important because it was an awesome representation of Liberty City and because it showed the industry how Rockstar can improve a game tenfold through amazing DLC a la Ballad of Gay Tony.

MGS4 likewise is memorable, not only for its closing of a legendary saga but also for intense gameplay moments, especially discovering secrets in Act IV, fight vs Liquid...

@solidkwon well anal bag is that not what they said about gta4 and really look at how that was nobody remebers it and it was not worth rembering mgs4 is not special cutscene stealth or rambo 30 cutscene 2 minute level 47 and a half cutscene 15 second portion the point is gameplay over story any day gameplay gameplay gameplay that is all that matters example borderlands left 4 dead littlebigplanet and so many more the indusrty needs to understand that story over gameplay = fail (most of the time)

@agentfire102

Don't want to sound like a technical anal freak or anything, but I stated that it was "one of the best," not "the best."

Still, even if you thought the game sucked or whatever, I think you can't deny that it was such an important game for the industry as a whole. It's a game worth remembering.
