And you get tons and tons of people feeling it's "it's the best game, ever!" "11/10". Maybe not the most devisive but for me, it is definitely frustrating. Like I'm the only one who sees the truth or something. |
mgs4's problem is that it's saddled with the burden of tying up all of the series' innumerable loose ends in a fancy little bow, the problem being the bow was about six inches of felt trying to hold a metric fuck-tonne of bullshit. If they had cut about four or five hours of exposition (and that's not even hyperbole, they probably could have easily cut at least that much out of the game) it could have been a much tighter and more interesting experience, rather than lifting the curtain and showing us that Kojima really had no idea what the fuck he was doing in the first place.
