I don't know why you feel this way. I loved mgs4. Perhaps Kojima is only human, he can't please all. The series has always had lots of cutscenes and codec conversations btw, don't know why you find that to be a problem now.

I didn't write this. The cutscenes are fine with me as well as the codec. The only cutscene I didn't like was the wedding one. The codecs weren't as terrible as MGS2, but they did get annoying when you defeated a boss. Couldn't there be another way to tell the back story of the bosses?

Maybe the bosses should've explained the backstories themselves.  For example, just before Sniper Wolf died in MGS1, she explained what her life was like without any help.

 

Nothing screams 'evil twisted demented machine women' like a long monologue!

I suppose it could have worked if they did it before dying, though.

And it would be cool if you could codec Drebin at any point, just to hear his opinion on things.

Or at least see his face when he is busy monologuing.

Even cooler would be some video or screenshots to accompany the story, like images of crying wolf murdering the people of her village.

I love the little fourth-wall-breaking mentions of the PS3 through the game, though

EDIT: He had to curb the FoxDie, though. The game was meant to tie up all loose strings around Solid Snake, and leaving him as a ticking time bomb that could destroy the human race wasn't a very good way to do that. And who would want to see Snake die?
