Lol. What does that even mean? These games have always been story-heavy and that story is a huge part of why I love them so much. Nothing to do whatsoever with watching vs playing.

There was a mod for GZ to add PS4 button prompts. If they're not in there I'm sure it will be fixed pretty quickly.

Well this game was always Peace Walker 2, for better or worse
Not surprising to see it carry over a lot of the same pros and cons
I can't believe I haven't seen people post this before. "The single-player experience ends" as a negative.
MGS4 was weird times.

Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
I think the french review mentioned that.
Edit - I've been had!
Not necessarily when you look at something like The Witcher 3 where everything is fully voice acted and while most of it probably doesn't really need to be, it shows a level of detail that you normally won't see in a game as long as it.
At the end of the day it probably more boils down to the dispute between Kojima and Konami, as well as Konami leaving the AAA video game space, rather than open-world inherently limiting how much attention to detail he can fit in.
Look at my Metal Gear collection, to give you an idea of my investment in the series.

My opinion on the sparse story having reviewed it for Destructoid -- I still enjoyed it. I hope you will too!
I don't see how a major flaw like that doesn't drag the score down but whatever.

That's from the MGS4 review....

MGS4 was clearly the peak of overwrought, long-winded video game storytelling. So I think it was wise for them to evolve out of that into a more minimal narrative.
I can't say I wanted another 20 hour long talking anime... and I say this as a longtime MGS fan. It had its place and time, but I have been there, done that.
Though having said that, it will be very odd to have a Metal Gear that doesn't talk at you 20 minutes after every checkpoint. I will miss it, even at the same time that I'm over it.

Look at the game...
It is expanded upon in cassette tapes, but from what I know...
It makes the overarching story a lot easier to comprehend to the common layman.
Not to say it includes a lot of Metal Gear-esque shit that would never-ever fly elsewhere.
It seems like it will please most crowds and will be a title of much discussion.
MGS4 review, lol.
You do know this is their MGS4 review, right?
You're looking at a review of MGS4

People aren't going to listen to the tapes. It's already a video game cliche and it won't be obvious enough. No matter the quality or what they add. I fucking hate Peace Walker and it took me till today to finally finish Ground Zeroes, but on lark I decided to listen to them and they make the entire story of these games infinitely better. Really shows how much better Kiefer is than Hayter too. Forced codec type calls would have been a better idea for series fans, but the series has to evolve I suppose. After watching Metal Gear Scanlon though I must say I'm up for a big budget real Metal Gear game that gets tot he point and is less long winded anime. By the time they got to 4 I was amazed at how fucking terrible a lot of MGS4's dialog was. I had to skip scenes because it was so painful.
Lmao, you sure are hellbent on the hate today, its blinding you!
The gameplay improvements alone would put it over.

Guys. Fuck the story. How is the soundtrack?

It sounds to me like we've lost more than the codec calls (where I agree, they were expendable). If we don't have multiple hours of awesomely crafted and over-the-top cutscenes then it's a shame, imo.
Honestly, watching the cutscenes was always my favourite part of MGS. Never particularly cared for the gameplay until GZ. Can't imagine I was the only one.
That's fucking terrible if true. Just awful.

Higher difficulty to unlock end game missions? Less focus on story?
10/10?
GTAIV for a new generation.

In fairness, my comments have been rather positive about the reviews
