Here goes mine: MGS4 was a cash grab and Kojima obviously didn't wanted to do it, Snake lost all the spark and ideals he had in Sons of Liberty and the story felt like a cop out because Kojima was forced to "answer" all the questions.
I still love the game, Kojima did what he could with what he had, he was almost forced to do it.

I disagree with this.I think the story was fine and the character evolved into a grumpy, old, suicidal man. I don't believe he wanted to make a game though. Which is why you find very little actual gameplay.

The problem for me with the story was that it had to close all the loose ends and answer everything, it couldn't escape the canon, like Vamp for example which I just assume was an actual vampire was revealed to be just a nanomachine experiment, "ok that works, let's move on with the next loose end" (thats Kojima in my head). I loved Snake in Sons of Liberty he had passion, he had matured as a person and he fought for what he believed, then in MGS4 one of the first things he says is "I'm just an old killer hired to do some wet work" and I can guess thats how Kojima felt about making MGS4. Story was just ok.

Giving some sort of scientific explanation for what seemed supernatural wasn't a bad thing. I was content with their explanation for Vamp.
Snake and Big Boss started as people who loved and fought for their country but became disenchanted. I mean Snake found out he is just a science experiment built for war and became old in just a few years. He can't have children or live a normal life. You wouldn't expect him to be the same guy from MGS2. He's just living the life he was created to do.
So I dunno, I enjoyed the story. But I really felt gameplay went downhill.

Snake already overcome and broke free from his genetic fate in MSG1 and found something to believe and fight for himself and not just being a tool of the goverment, Snake from Sons of Liberty would enjoy every drop of life he had left if he only had 6 more months to live, he actually could die at any moment from the Foxdie but he got over it and enjoy life again.
It seems we are on opposide sides, I really liked the gameplay but the story was just ok.
