I would say that plots to games like MGS4 are so convoluted and complex that the little outside media attention they receive will center around a few seconds of video clips and sales figures. Games like GTA and Halo which are easily understood as incredibly violent and sell much better are far worse for the overall videogame industry.
However I would say the attention all violent video games receive is in general bad for our image because it means non-violent games (sports, racing, misc.) are frequently ignored by the media, despite having a large devoted fanbase.
