MGS 4 released 17 years ago and it's the game that deserves your spite, but you were probably 13 years old when you played it so it's ok that it raped the series.

No, but 4 is a million times more disappointing than V. Series was already long dead by the time V came out. And at least V is a good game despite the dogshit story.

You're obviously coming from a position of dishonesty if you claim you have never read anyone go at length about how MGS 4 is soulless fan service that ruins the story set by the previous three games.
Either that or you're a newfag.

Plus I think letting players explicitely murder kids results in an AO rating, and no online store allows the sale of AO games

The problem is the concessions just end up making the game worse. Having to avoid killing child soldiers or just rescuing random kids is completely out of character for Kaz and Snake at that point in time.

They had gone full gloves off morally but suddenly this one thing is too far. They should have just been removed entirely.

You're even madder if you play ground zeroes. Ground Zeroes, I believe really showed what Kojima wanted to do with the game. How extremely dynamic and different it is based on time & weather. Having guard patrols, and shifts. Sensible transports in and out the base etc. I believe our master autist Kojima wanted to make an entire game like that, Konami saw the budget that was gonna take and finally told him to fuck clean off. So from time to time I like to imagine what it would have been like, if the entire game had Ground Zeroes level of detail and flexibility.

The man is an author, a Tarantino. You can't just ask Tarantino to make a sony movie, with product placement and within the confines of someone elses script. You give him money, and let him do art. You can't just tell him to "use an existing engine" or "stay within budget" you're lucky if you can convince him that a boss fight being a real life sniper battle, which might take several real life days to get a chance of a clear shot is actually retarded.

MGSV cost 80 million, had a new, greatly optimized engine and barely wasted my time with poinyless cutscenes.
Meanwhile MGS4 was 90% cutscenes, what little gameplay there was sucked and cost 70 million.

I played these games a year ago, MGS1 is a legitimately low IQ game.
Not only guards can't see you if you are more than 5 feet away from them, but it also features a top down camera for some reason when stealth games are about situational awareness.

And the fucking plot feels written by a kid

People were literally upset at paramedic and sigint becoming patriots despite that making total sense at the end of 3. They claimed shit like that was nonsensical fanservice desires being wrong. People also claim all sorts of retarded things about Kojima's intent with characters or plot points in MGSV and death standing while having absolutely no proof or argument, just inserting their own interpretations as absolute fact. Make an argument yourself rather than relying on almost 2 decades of discussion that we should supposedly be caught up on and buy into.

Ah, yes, very important questions like "What is the guy shitting himself doing?" or "How can we make the Liquid Arm plot point completely unsatisfying?" or "What's the best way of raping the MGS 3 codec team's characterization?" or ""How do we make The Patriots boring and simpler to explain, since I can't come up with anything that actually follows through well on MGS 2's godlike ending". Those sorts of resolutions.

The TV show LOST has better resolutions than MGS 4 did.

MGS 4 literally, and I mean LITERALLY reads like fanfiction. If anyone grabbed MGS 4's shit script and leaked it years in advance, they would have been laughed at out of the building. But because Kojima had the high budget cinematics and the epic fanservice, brainlets got fooled into thinking they were watching anything that followed cogently from the previous games.

You disgust me.

You can try to pretend it isn't an obvious retcon all you want. Kojima admitted that for him the end of the series was MGS 2. That's in fact why he had to go back as a prequel to MGS 3. But retarded fans wanted answers he didn't have, so he had to pull bad ones off of his ass. I'm never seeing MGS 4 for anything other than what it is. Superficial pandering and fanfiction tier explanations that gets the brainlets hollering.

The argument is that Kojima retconned this shit poorly and you're trying to justify it post-hoc. This is even more evident with Raiden where his arc in MGS 2 was very well realized and Kojima had to remake a new nonsensical arc (He's getting cucked, he's suffering, but wait, no, it was all a ruse, the colonel was on his side all this time lmao)

Yes, anon, I'm sure when Kojima did MGS 2, he also already had in mind that Revolver Ocelot was using nanomachines and psychoteraphy to transplant Liquid''s personality onto his own, which ould fool the patriots which were actually a completely unmanned genius-level AI into not worrying about him.

no, the argument is that the mgs3 support team would have been killed if they weren't in on the world controlling machinations. knowing about the legacy and being part of operation snake eater puts you in a "you are either with us or against us" situation. also
>sure BIG BOSS turned into a bad guy, but obviously the rest of the team remained good ol boys, american military can do no wrong :^)
everyone involved in operation snake eater was a bad guy, but no one thinks of themselves as a bad guy. this is what i meant when i called you an autist with black and white thinking not being able to understand a geopolitical thriller where every side is a muddied grey.

ah yes, the silly stuff of MGS4 makes less sense than... a ghost taking over a guy through a transplanted arm or an immortal ganguro girl. it's all silly, the only reason you are mad at mgs4 is because you started to grow up and wanted metal gear to mature with you. it stayed the same, you changed. despite changing, you did not really mature. you are still here, complaining about the game almost 20 years after the fact for not being what you wanted, like a petulant child.

No, anon. The reason why I'm mad at MGS 4 is because it had nothing to offer other than fanservice. Death Stranding is flawed but at least it actually has a vision. MGS 4 is blatantly a band with nothing new to say playing its old hits. Nothing about the plot is cogent with the rest of the series because there was obviously never gonna be a sequel to MGS 2 and yet Kojima felt the need to tie a knot that was already tied. This is why the whole game is endless stupid retcons trying to make sense of the whole series by tying everything into nanomachines. Yet the only actual content of note is the surface level shit like Big Boss having a very convenient hollow excuse to get revived so that he could drop 20 minutes of exposition on Snake and then have a hug with him. Or Rex and Ray fighting against each other. Or

MGS 1, MGS 2 and MGS 3 have aged well. Did you know MGS 4 has better reviews than MGS 1 and 3? You probably didn't. When it came out, people were really trying to pretend this was anywhere near the level of the other games. Now, it's not seen in the same tier. And there's a very obvious reason why. It doesn't stand up by itself. It doesn't add anything to the series. It's just pointless fanservice that doesn't stick. So, to me, the absolute kicker is when someone goes "MGS 4 had a satisfying resolution". If that were the case, MGS 4 wouldn't continue being the controversial title of the series like V is. Everyone looks fondly on 2 now despite all the controversy. 4 will never get this treatment. It's a hollow shell of the series. Fanfiction tier.

Whatever you say, little buddy. Keep repeating it, another 17 years and someone might finally believe it.

I'm not suggesting this is you, by the way. Just pointing out how the MGS 4 fanbase has to be this defensive about liking this bad game. There's an obvious reason for that. MGS 1, 2 and 3 threads don't start like that lol

The other games are getting plenty of videos too, hell randomizers were recently made for MGS1-3

Cutscenes were never the problem, its the retcons

MGS4 has such a great premise, I could never hate it
>snake returns as a weaker, older soldier who is forced to go on a final mission to assassinate ocelot and finally put an end to the world threatening patriots
>world has changed drastically with new technology and weapons that snake can barely keep up with, literally moves forward through sheer determination
>boss group aren't the charismatic and cool villains like in previous games but instead mentally broken killers that border on animalistic and unnerving

I'm still mad about the Ocelot just pretending to be Liquid all along. Such a pointless retcon for a series where ghosts literally exist.

Too bad there isn't content to justify getting creative
