YES! MGS4 more similar to MGS2 than to MGS3!

hmm...Well I liked Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty than all the Metal Gears combined. It felt right at home for me since it was the first time me playing a Metal Gear game period.

So I choose MGS2: Sons of Liberty.

If MGS4 is anything like MGS2, then it seriously is a pick-up for me. Other than that MGS3 and MGS: Portable Ops on the PSP, put a sour taste in my mouth. I just couldn't find the urge to play those two games. I would either play Halo 3 or MotorStorm over those games and those games would collect dust. So I gave those away.

MGS3 is my favorite game, also my first MGS. The story was well paced, unpredictable and exciting.
Why don't you like it?
Personaly I think MGS1 and 2 can't touch MGS3's story, since I bought twin snakes and substance after I beat MGS3.
Maybe it's because I'm a sucker for sour food and candy. ^_^
Though I also didn't like MGS:PO.

 

MGS3 story sucked because it was too straightforward. One major twist at the end. The rest was simply "go here, then go there" not enough twists or revelations. There also wasn't enough trademark philosophy like at the end of MGS1 and MGS2. The Cobra's had no backtory at all. And the game made you feel sorry for a patriot (The boss), and patriots are utterly pathetic in my book so I really couldn't sympathise.
