THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! This sums up my opinion on MGS4 completely, the lazy writing, the bad gameplay mechanics, the cutscenes and the nanomachines. All of it. And also, Deus Ex IS miles ahead of MGS4, that game felt more like an MGS game than MGS4 did.

MGS4, in my opinion (yes I had been a critic of the game), is that it is a sign of how the videogame industry longs to be treated like the movie industry, and have a product that is seen as being able to do big storytelling, that would be respected.  I took MGS4 as a simulation of a big box office picture, with some ok gameplay, and a pretty good game.  It, in no way, was all that to me.  I did like Drebin though (pardon the spelling).  I just thought it was high and pretentious hype.  I did still have a pretty good time though, and did prefer the run and gun to stealth in it.
