Yes, MGS4 is insanely overrated - it's an overblown, badly-in-need-of-editing, ridiculous extravaganza. It's technically impressive, with some of the best character models and animation around, but mired by the fact it has subpar gameplay, the plot of a mexican soap opera, and 23756248375639875 cutscenes that last forever.
I own most of the MGS games, the first one was a revolution, but the series has gotten worse with each new installment. MGS1 was awesome, MGS2 was disappointing, didn't play MGS3, Portable Ops was horrible, and MGS4 was a megalomaniacal interactive movie, when i just wanted to play a good next-gen MGS game. I can't say I was disappointed with it, because I knew going in what to expect, but I can't really comprehend what the fuss was all about, aside from the impressive technical merits. Mostly the same thing as GTA4, but since this was a PS3 exclusive, it got hyped and defended to death by the fanboys as the best thing since jesus christ lol
