Like I said, I can't argue in the context of MGS4 as I've never played it. I have played Twin Snakes and that was nothing like the order, but who knows how the series has changed. I highly doubt MGS4 has shooting gallery style segments though, as it is primarily a stealth game...

Anyways, there is nothing wrong with storytelling in games, but games should play to the strengths of the medium. When I read a book that plays to the strengths of cinema, I criticize it, because it just doesn't feel right. Each medium has their strengths and weaknesses, so writing a video game story as if it was a movie is just silly, and constantly breaks the immersion. Like I've said before, things like on screen button presses during tense sequences, or badly implemented fail states just break you right out of the immersion.

Incorrect, as with Hitman Absolution, they removed the stealth focus.  You can play it however you want, run and gun, or stealth as much as possible (there are parts where shooting is required).

Ha, well at least there is some freedom of choice on how you will tackle encounters
