wow, so much for bursting a hopeless bubble. I sure will not base my buying decision on your post. And are you a Metal Gear Solid fan?

 

What does it matter if you are a metal gear solid fan or not? That does not change the quality of the game all of the sudden. It still remains a mediocre movies with good gameplay in between either way.

 

Because if your a Metal Gear fan you could fight through it. Considering reviewers didn't find much flaws in the game at all. He just said the story was just crappy, nothing about the gameplay. I know Metal Gear central aspect is its story. But why did the story fail?

 

All told in the most slow and badly written way possible.

 

How is MGS4 badly written ? I honestly have never played a game with a better script and a more natural evolution of contexts. Is that called slow nowadays ...if in the first 2 minutes you don't cut off 3 limbs and blow up 3 heads ?

I played Oblivion, Mass Effect, Fallout 3 (as well as pretty much every game released in recent years) and i find them mediocre at best in comparison to MGS4's writing and development.

 

There's your problem. You played games that have TERRIBLE writing (ME has decent writing at times though). You want to see good writing? Play Planescape Torment, Mask of the Betrayer, Fallout 1 & 2, Vampire the Masquerade - Blodlines, Deus Ex, Grim Fandango, The Witcher Enhanced Edition, Sam & Max, Myst games, etc...

MGS4 has a convoluted story, mostly due to Kojima's lack of writing talent.  MGS1 had a far more consistent story because it didn't get stuck on high morals, twists and turns (though the recessive/dominant genes stuff was a AAA-class blunder from Kojima)
