Great video (& funny as well). Basically, MGS4 is one of my biggest-ever what the literal fuck am I even playing moments in gaming. All the critics who gave it top scores, all the fanboys who fellate Kojima... all of them were either straight-up liars, blind or Kojima himself brainwashed them with a little nanomachine skulduggery (skullbuggery; more like).
It's literal shit. The AI is broken & pathetic, the attempts at third person shooting fail miserably, the tactical nature of the battlefield during the war sections is a bad joke (whatever Kojima intended... it doesn't work) & it has a total clusterfuck game design whereby it never knows what its even trying to be (stealth? Nope. Action? Nope. Infiltration… maybe, but it's done so badly so-who-the-fuck-even-cares). Then we have ultra fails like the motorbike chase, the stealth mission in Prague, the return to shadow moses… with a laughably bad boss fight at the end. That was even the case back in 2008, by the standards back then. It's inexplicable.
I'm not one to usually hate a video game, but for MGS4 I make an exception. Fuck it, fuck its overlong cutscenes, its nonsensical story & its broken gameplay/game design. On the plus side (yep, even the proverbial broken clock is right twice a day), the graphics were good at the time & Naomi is a seriously sexy bitch.
