Kojima is not considered a great game storyteller.

If they tried to do each other's work, it would probably hurt both franchises, Half-Life more than MGS.

For once, I don't think Squilliam meant for this thread to fall down to fanboy blasphemy. He mentioned that the "fans" of the respective games like their creators. Don't insult one who is revered by millions if YOU don't like his presentation style!

 

I think the keyword here is Storyteller. Kojima is an incredible story teller, he just sucks at creating a story. If someone else, who didn't suck completely, had written the story, and then Kojima was required to follow that dialog, he would tell it in a way that few can rival.

So yes, he is a great story teller. Just a horrible writer.

P.S. My favorite game of all time is MGS4. It however, doesn't even come close to my favorite story.
