Another thing about the MGS series: Since the gameplay is mediocre, I assume what most people like about it is the storyline. This is something I cannot understand and the reason I don't play JRPG's anymore is that games cannot have good storyline. If you want good storyline, you should pick up a book and read it. No game's story can compare to a book.

You ever notice that Zelda, Mario and Metroid games have all had simple storylines? Miyamoto realized that a game's focus should be on ...(wait for it)... gamplay. An elaborate storyline just takes budget away from parts of the game that needs the money.

 

thats a good point, but mgs4 love stems from other things to like the end of the series and all that jazz

also, you gotta admit stories that are big arent a "waste" a lot of them end up being really good

its also like the definitive game to love if youre a real gamer or something like that

i agree with u on the gameplay thing though

 

 

I dont agree with the gameplay thing, you cant say its perfect but its really complex and awesome, you can play the game in many ways.

Story is great, and about your book comment, books cant have soundtracks nor visuals, thats a big thing in a game like MGS4, and going by your point of view  we shouldnt even be watching movies, just reading, and thats not cool.

And the lack of substance in storylines in games u listed is why I dont like them, if it where for just gameplay I would play snake in my cell phone, fun, but not great.
