Opinions, pal. I for one immensely enjoy the stories and character development in that series.

Oh I can tell...
BF3 and 4 were so bad...ugggghhh, no more silent protagonists please, if you give our character a name and the majority of dialogue involves characters looking straight at him then make him talk.DICE the writing in all there games are terrible.
I actually thought BC1 and BC2 had fun, if not dopey, stories. But their other stuff is indeed pretty terrible. BF3 and BF4 were borderline offensive they were so bad.DICE, good lord.

David Cage.
This is a good one. I realize why it's so simple (game is marketed for young children, etc.) but it is still bad.
Pokemon with a complex narrative would be so cool. And not gritty/grimdark/"mature", just more advanced, sophisticated, and intricate storytelling. Add it to the list of things that will never happen, though.
I find the people who blithely say Blizzard, Bioware or Bethesda dismiss the quality of their individual character writing too easily. Their games are so large and the sheer quantity of writing so dense that at worst you can only say that their writing is inconsistent in quality.
MGS is easily one of the best written games out there.
A complex story is not a bad one, people should learn to differentiate

The word you are looking for is convoluted -- not complex. Thinking MGS is well-written while having issues with David Cage is untenable.MGS is easily one of the best written games out there.

And this should be the first post. God damn, this man.

But I guess the witty one-line drive-by response you'll respond with will invalidate these points.
What....in the world...did I just watch? ._.
Exactly my thoughts. MGS2 had an excellent plot with some very relevant themes throughout.
Far Cry 3. Hands down
It is literally the king of bs
Imo even Blood Dragon had a better understandable and reasonable story than mainline FC3
However if you think people have been playing the MGS line of games for all these years for the plot, I have some bad news for you. Its the great gameplay that keeps people coming back.
Bethesda comes to mind. For such a prominent RPG developer they've got a really shitty writing team. No idea why people get so invested in their stories.
The MGS series has awful storytelling and the worst plots ever.

So you would expect a game that was just VR missions to be equally successful as a regular entry into the Metal Gear Saga? Why is Kojima constantly pressured into continuing the story by the very fans that enjoy it? They even sent him death threats for stopping at MGS2.
By no means am I saying the gameplay is irrelevant in Metal Gear games and the focus is on the story, but saying the story is irrelevant is simply not true.
Crytek hurts most to me because at some point they brought on author Richard K. Morgan (of the tremendous Altered Carbon) onto the Crysis series and somehow the story ended up worst in the sequels compared to the original.
Guerrilla Games and the Killzone series manages to squander some pretty rich backstory with the meager stories told in the games themselves.
