It may all come down to execution. I wasn't a fan of MGS3 either (though it certainly blows MGS2 out of the water), but MGS4 is an all time favorite of mine. MGS4 never gave me the feeling of being ridiculous (in a bad way) to the point that MGS2 did, even though MGS4 has its own moments of 'stupidity'.
Hell, I still haven't played through MGS1, but now that it has been released on PSN, I will get to it and finally be able to give MGS4 another go. I would not be surprised in the least if I were to absolutely loathe MGS1 as well, and if that is the case, I'll just have ample reason to forget that MGS1-3 even exist and just enjoy my MGS4 for what it is.
