There's a reason so many people like the story. No other videogame series is like it. It's both serious and shallow. Most dramas are. Every Metal Gear thread is filled with your hatred over the story. We get it. You don't think it's an oscar script. Ok. Lots of people like it. It's really good for what it does.

If popularity indicates quality then cow dung must be the most delicious stuff on Earth.  50 billion flies can't be wrong!

no, if you want to involve cow dung and flies in this, and make a honest comparison, then you should say that a fly will tell some other fly who doesn't like cow dung ''dude, 50 billion other flies like this shit, so there must be a reason they like it'', and if you make the comparison this way, the only proper way you can actually make it, windbane point gets more proven than unproven.. :P.. but of course, popularity doesn't always reflect quality.. but you should make a point why in this particular , populairty doesn't equal quality..

My point is there is a reason that the story elements are often praised. And yes, if 50 billion flies like dung, that kinda shows that the dung is good for flies. MGS is good for a story-based videogame that has great gameplay, too.
