Why does MGS4 seem so hyped up?

One of the reasons the game does so well in the English speaking world, is David Hater is absolutely the best voice actor ever in a video game.

Of all of the statements in this thread, this one made me laugh. I mean, come on; of all the classically-trained actors who have appeared in games, some guy whose sole voice seems to be "Gritty Military Operatives Guy" is the "best voice actor ever"? Give me a break.

Anyway, I predict MGS4 will sell more like MGS:PO than MGS3. Metal Gear Solid just seems to be one of those franchises that hasn't aged well in terms of sales.

Hahahaha....I agree. Good old "Gruff and edgy" Dave is the weak link of the games; not only is his voice generic, but his inflections/tones/etc are often off. He's a damn screenwriter, after all.
