In my opinion Kojima was trying to send Snake out similarly to how Frank Miller sent Batman out in The Dark Knight Returns and I think it can actually be seen as a send up to the earlier work.

Can the story in MGS 4 really be called any more ridiculous than most of the stories in entertainment media from Japan that is also considered to be quite good?

I don't think there is any way MGS 4 is more ridiculous than FLCL for example. Yet FLCL tells an excellent story.

I think, it's a little bit too ridiculous, its not much so. but yes.

MGS4 was heavily Japanese Storytelling. Which is quite different. But in videogames, there isn't a whole lot of Japanse Storytelling especially in action games

JRPG's And Metal Gear,

The reason why I got metal gear, was the style in the story was told reminded me of Ghost in The Shell... those kinda things
