MGS4 is, and to a slightly lesser extent MGS2 also.


Never come across so much inconsistant badly told story in my life as in those two games.

 

You're given to hyperbole and negativity.  If your last sentence is true, you don't get out much (don't encounter many stories, certainly not in video games).

Maybe MGS4 is a 92, not a 94?  Maybe.  Reasonable minds could think so.

 

Yeah and I can easily say that anyone who thinks those stories were even slightly good have never heard any other story in their life.

 

It isn't that MGS2/4 are only bad stories, or good stories only badly told.   They are bad stories and they are badly told.  It is a double fail.

Two negatives make a positive? lol j/k

I did, however, notice that someone said "notice how all the 360 and Wii fanboys hop in yada yada yada" and someone said "What? 360 fanboy = someone who doesn't like MGS? /fail"

But now after reading the thread, it IS in fact mostly the 360 fanboys hating on the game. For the most part. It doesn't matter, though, if the game is "overrated". I personally don't think it is because I enjoyed it. But from a pure perspective of gaming in general, if MGS is overrated, the Halo and Gears are super duper ultra turbo overrated (I still like those games though )
