Will MGS4 live up to MGS2?

deus ex only touched upon thoe issues for a few lines at most. MGS2 had an entire 1 hour ending tackling the issues it set out to explain. There's a big difference in how deeply they explored their issues.

Which means that Kojima failed as a storyteller. If you can't cohesively work a complex idea into a story without having to spend half an hour or more at the end explaining it all in great detail, you failed.

After all, the deepest books/movies I have ever read/seen didn't feel the need to grind everything to a halt in favor of saying "wait, you probably didn't get my point in the first 500 pages of this book or 2 hours of this movie so now I'm going to sit you down and explain it bit-by-bit."

 If you told your philosophy professor at college you want to learn all the basics in the shortest amount possible from the thinnest book he'd laugh at you. Most philosophy books are 500 pages or more.

Yes, but philosophy professors do not pop up at the end of summer blockbuster movies and give annoyingly long speeches.  If Kojima wants to spout philosophy, have him put it in a book that we can ignore more properly.
