I loved the MGS
series but honestly, what the fuck was MGS4. I've have to endure many a shite-plot over the years of reading (terrible) novels and the like, but MGS4 takes the shit-biscuit easily; it falls prey to that typical Japanese videogame tradition of
trying to do everything at the exact same time in every possible permutation. Keeping track of MGS4's storyline was like monitoring Paris Hilton's sex life, and by the end of the game with that fucking RIDICULOUSLY long cutscene, I honestly thought I would have more fun for my money by wanking off into tissues made from the texts of Wittgenstein.
How exactly was it even a MGS game? Ok it had the same pretentious and shitty storyline direction by the regular folks- only this time with the metaphorical bullshit-o-meter turned up to '11'. I think I spent all of about 2 hours actually sneaking around, and even then that was only because I purposefully prolonged the 'stealth' missions just to savour the gameplay. It was more like a terribly-done action shooter game that was about as refined as a quadriplegic's foxtrot.
Hey - you're a Metal Gear Solid 'fanboy'? I've played the series since the release day of the original title too, and my passionate love for the game series and close familiarity with all things MGS gives me license to say this game was shit. I would honestly more enjoy spending my hours doodling around in the puerile banality that is Little Big Planet. Look at this like this:

MGS4 deserved it IMO.
But I've never played Fallout3. Seems to be a very Overrated game that just took the fallout franchise and has little to no RPG elements tbh.
Yes, because MGS4 isn't
over-rated, and doesn't just shamelessly use the MGS franchise with "little to no" stealth elements "tbh"
. If the previous MGS titles hadn't done all the hard work with their popularity and success, MGS4 would have plopped into the turgid ocean of shit-videogame obscurity and would probably be reviewed on the same level as other terrible gimmick-shooters like that
Haze game or what-the-fuck-ever.
