Let me say one more thing.

Half-Life 2: Not a single cutscene in the entire game yet it tells a story twice as compelling with characters that are three times as compelling. The big difference is, the actual gameplay in Half-Life 2 is fun, while MGS4's is not.

To be honest, you probably failed at math lol

I hate to be an ass, but here we go:

 

I have an IQ of 170, I scored a 1610 on the SAT when I was thirteen years old. I'm in the 92% of all high-school students, and I'm in eight grade. I think it's safe to say I didn't fail math.

 

 No harm done, right?

 

No, not at all, but how can someone with an IQ of 170 say that MGS4's plot isn't nearly as good as Half-Life? =P

As someone on this thread said, MGS4 is a roller coaster of emotions. It's the best example of games that couldn't be recreated in the cinemas or in books (or it wouldn't nearly be the same experience) - games in a certain way, can be art as well.

The only emotion I felt throughout MGS4 was frustration. Frustration with the controls, story, acting, graphics, everything. 

 

Actually, I think MGS4 is the perfect example of a game that COULD be a movie. You want a counter example?

Braid. In Braid, the story is non-linear. Not in the same sense as GTA or Fallout, but in the sense that time doesn't really pass. It just kind of is. That is truly an example of a game that cannot be a movie. It is also the only game that I would ever even think of coming close to being described as art.
