>was criticised by fans for years as a movie game with barely any gameplay compared to the rest of the series
>despite the fact that it actually has longer and better gameplay than MGS1/MGS2 and only slightly less than MGS3
Its time to end this meme. MGS4 objectively has more gameplay than nearly all its predecessors. It is an 18 hour game with 8 hours of cutscenes while MGS1 and MGS2 are 11 and 13 hour games with 4 and 5 hours worth of cutscenes respectively.
>muh gameplay/cutscene ratio
Irrelevant. Hardly anyone rewatches cutscenes in replays and all of them are skippable, we are talking pure gameplay here.
>muh act 4/5
Act 1, 2 and 3 together offer a solid 6-7 hours worth of core gameplay if you aren't a speedrunning faggot. The older games were much worse in regards to gameplay pacing. MGS1's stealth gameplay completely disappears after Sniper Wolf 1 (about 2-3 hours in) and it becomes a glorified boss rush. MGS2 likewise stops its core gameplay after the halfway point with sparse stealth in the second half. Meanwhile even after act 3, MGS4 has a relatively decent section in act 4, ending with a stealth based boss fight in Crying Wolf. You have been duped this whole time.

Gameplay ranking of the series:
MGSV>MGS3>=MGS4>>>>>MGS2>>>>>>>MGS1

I like MGS4 and always have. Easily one of my favorite games that gen, but you're smoking if you think MGS4 is better than 2

2>=4

No it doesn't you lying piece of shit. I literally belly crawled through the entirety of Act 1, and 2, and 4, and 5, and Act 3 is literally on rails for half of it and I hid like a little bitch for most of the vulture fight and still had less than 6 hours of gameplay time by the end credits.

mgs4 is just kino and ludo and only contrarian retards that don't have access to a ps triple ($50 on ebay) or ps3 emulator would disagree

I prefer MGS2 over 4 if we are talking about the whole package but MGS4 objectively had deeper gameplay and offers more of it than 2's main campaign.

MGS1 and MGS2 become set piece driven games a few hours into their playtime. Act 3 is at least stealth focused.

ALL of the Big Boss games go in the fucking trash.

MGO2 will forever have a place in my heart

its good but some of the plot events were so retarded that I just couldn't take it seriously.
The game expects you and Otacon to care for naomi and vamp for example, giving an entire monologue about how hard his life is. He killed Emma, and Naomi is a triple backstabbing retard that is entwined with said killer. Even more unbelievable is how Otacon reacts to this, its like he doesn't care about any of that because he fucked naomi once and she reminds him of sniperwolf. that's it. It earnestly tries to make you feel sympathy for these guys as if they haven't fucked everyone over a thousand times to a severe degree it borders on parody

>it's another re/v/isionism midwit thread made by some retard making up scenarios and ideas to back up his clinically retarded takes
Yawn.

Garbage moviegame

WRONG.
It was LOVED by ALL OF US fans day 1.

But you gotta remember: this was 2008-2009. The era of iPhone and Facebook fags had started, and normalfag secondaries started pouring online.
They then saw the loving JOKES MGS fans made about the game, and took that as a face value fact. And now they're repeating that shitty meme of theirs like it was a fact.

People wept when they got to the ending.
Everyone cried when MGO2 was shut down.
It was a great game, and BTFO of MGS5 you so much shill. And of course your kin never played the Peace Walker.
