On the one hand he is correct. Hours of cutscenes should have vanished from gaming with Wing Commander 4. Telling a story during gameplay with short gripping cutscenes is normally a far better concept.
On the other hand MGS4 is a game with great charm, interesting characters, and possible some japanese weirdness and Gears must have the most pointless characters and story of any game.
MGS has Snake, Halo has the Masterchief, Half-Life has Gordon freeman and Gears has what? Big fat bad-tempered guy with no profile at all. If it wouldn't have been the first game of this gen with truly breath-taking next-gen graphics it would have been forgotten faster than the new Indiana Jones.
