If all you want is Tetris and Pong, then play those games. Other people want more variety.

MGS4 is fanservice in the same way that Brawl is. So what? You should provide a good service to fans of the previous games when you are concluding a story, shouldn't you?

Also, you might want to stop attacking MGS4's gameplay, at least in this thread, because it was a lot more solid and varied than Gears...not to mention the gameplay elements in total are longer than Gears is.

This started out because he called Ken Levine SHAMEFULL for altering the story to fit the gameplay, I was merely pointing out that the same thing happens/happened with MGS4, fu!rthermore he claimed that STORY should be the centerpiece instead of gameplay thus disregarding games like Pong, Tetris, Wii sports etcetera.

 

That post of mine was a direct respons to his so dont treat it as if I posted that in a vacuum.

 

Kojima was the one that said that Levine shouldn't have changed the story, right?  Levine changed the story because back then, Irrational Games design philosophy was that gameplay comes before story.  It was not Levine's descision to change the story.

 

No, it was forum poster DTG here who said that.
