Amazing because most of the general complaints from an MGS game come from either it's long winded cut scenes or convoluted story lol.
But only from people that don't like the series.

Fans and reviews never really complained about the story or to many cutscenes.

MGS4 sold out on its vision by the third act. Like "Ah, fuck it, let's just do a tailing mission". By Act 4 'Stealth in an active battlefield' is a distant memory.

It's like if MGSV decided to stop being an open-world game halfway through.

It is for that reason most (among the others) that MGS4 is, in my opinion, the worst mainline Metal Gear Solid. Kojima copped out and followed the core gameplay concept with a tailing mission, a bike chase, a sequence that gets by only on nostalgia, and one powerful moment in whatever the fuck the last act of the game was.

You're good people.

I don't blame you, season 4 is fantastic as well. Second best, by a hair.

Ah, you said the first 4. My bad.

There's only 5 series, isn't there? Either way, you're good people too.

I didn't mind act 3. Definite change of pace and I like the stealth aspect of it.

But you are right. The whole "Battlefield" thing Kojima was going for was lost after act 2.

Imagine if Kojima trolls us one last time and releases a statement on twitter the game actually unlocks tonight instead of 9/1. So many people would lose it. And by it, I mean their jobs, cause no one would be working tomorrow.

I just need the game, I NEED IT.

What's sad it's that after that Review thread, it seems people have abandoned this one.

Wait, what's wrong with S2 of The Wire?!

Often considered the worst one - even though it's still brill, obviously. I had a 4-5 month hiatus from The Wire about five episodes into S02, solely because the pacing shat a brick. Doesn't pick up until ep 10 which is a big mistake.

Edit: parguably S02 is the most important in the whole series story-wise, though. The scene is set.

Now MGS!
