Was MGS4 severely overated??

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. 

At least the bosses in MGS1 had unique personalities and attributes. They were fairly fleshed out for bosses. The bosses in MGS4 had no substance or personalities whatsoever.

Which goes back to the first point, it was fanservice nonsense.
