Was MGS4 severely overated??

Yes. It was one of the worst games I played last gen. Even some of my die hard MGS fan friends think the game sucks now. It was all fanservice for all its 10 hours of cutscenes, with barely 5 hours of actual gameplay, most of which was utter crap.

I really agree with you. The mystery of the metal gear series was lost with this entry. It was just fanservice nonsense. 

Thats what I missed the most. I was entranced by the villans of MGS3, easily the most ingruiging set of bosses in any video game, even from a gameplay standpoint it was revolutionary in which most of them had to be dispatched. The B&B unit was an utterly lame and lazy throwback to MGS1. Any interest (albiet limited) I had in the seried died with MGS4.
