Although it is rare for me to agree with Cliffy B. I do agree with him here (although he said it in a kind of douche bag way) ... The fact is that the way Metal Gear Solid tells its story is inflexable and passive, and is (potentially) outdated when you compare it with other games like Half-Life or Bioshock.

 

Wow, thats not even funny.

 

The thing is MGS4 is a funny game. It's a game that has some great bits in it, then it goes and has some of the most frustratingly bad bits. Like when your on the motorbike, riding on the back. It gives and takes away control every 8-10 secs. NO JOKE. I was so pissed at that point and I was only watching my mate. Some cutscenes are like wow, and others are like watching paper dry. Basically Kojima wants to be a film director, but he is a very poor one. If it was a film MGS4 would have it's dialogue and entire dryness critisied. Theres a good story in there but cutscenes are directed poorly.
