The story was unoriginal, poorly executed, long winded, inconsistant with previous games events, poorly constructed given timeframes, some characters are completely out of character with no reason at all, new characters the shallowest ever.

The gameplay side, far too scripted, incredibly short, not enough requirment on stealth (more an action game), Act 3 was just a big pile of nothing, the boss fights brought nothing new really at all, just rehashed stuff from previous game, L. Beauty the exception.

Oh they even removed one of MGS3s better new features thanks to auto-octocamo.

Hmmm, weird reasons if you ask me, but you have the right to your opinion. I think Kojima did what he had to do, meaning that he linked every single plot hole from the others games, and concluded the series in a very intelligent way. I was a bit disappointed by the things Big Mama said, because I thought she just concluded the whole Patriot thing too fast (missing links from the previous MSX games), but then I was surprised that he got back on the subject with Big Boss's arrival (wow, that was unexpected by the way). Just to say that the game was full of surprises, and it was fan service to my eyes.

Also, there is PLENTY of stealth if you play the harder difficulty levels. I was disappointed at first when I completed it at Solid Normal, but when I tried The Boss, damn was I satisfied! You got to exploit everything the game as to offer IMO if you want to really criticize about a point.

And don't tell me you liked going in the menu and change camo every single second in order to get that 85%+ stealth rating? That sucked hard, and at one point, I just decided to put Snake barechested because I found it annoying...
