I am going to defend both MGS and Kojima from naysayers even if it kills me. Kojima is a good storyteller even if he relies on cutscenes. There is no set way to tell a story yet people think that story must always be implemented in the gameplay. I am not saying I am against implementing the story in the gameplay. In fact, I though BioShock did a great job of telling it's story through this method. Video games have serious storytelling potential and MGS4 is using the potential to good effect. I know what some of you will be saying. What to watch a movie? Go watch a movie. What a good story? Read a book. Do movies and books have to be the only ones that can have an emotionally affecting story? No they don't. I watch movies and read books as well as play video games. Do all video games need a good story to be good? No they don't. I hope atleast one understanding person can understand what I am trying to say.
