4 gets brought up a lot in "Greatest Final Boss" topics, both in earnest and ironically.

Other than that, yeah, no one really talks about it.

My big issue is that gameplay peaks in the first two acts. There's just not much left substance wise afterwards.

Shadow Moses is a pretty 'get hype' moment but then it's just mostly a bunch of rooms with red lasers and robots. I feel like the game went through some development hell or something.

It is a mixed bag, and I think it is only on the PS3. So if you didn't play it then you can't play it.

But there are a lot of things that are missteps ( In my view).
Everything being neno bots. Oh why can Vamp do all that stuff.. Nenobots.
Who is this kid cooking eggs.
Old Snake. Aging sucks, and a game that highlights the finality of life isn't fun. I mean the players are getting older and not snake is a Sr. After not being able to play with him in 2 or 3.

Act 1 and 2 were awesome and a perfect next gen (at the time) MGS sneaking mission.

Act 3 was shit and why I dont replay the game. What a terrible idea.

Act 4 was just a forced nostalgia level.

Act 5 is amazing and has two great boss fights.

Great game but shoulda been more.

I still dont get why most V cutscenes felt so hollow except for the master miller quote about "we can crush cyprus, boss" and "stand tall on missing legs" speech.

guess i missed out on this "era"... having to install after each act was infuriating since it meant you couldn't easily load back and forth.

Ah, figures. I made a huge push and sunk so much time to get all the emblems in the game. Two to three days later they dropped trophies and said previous files cannot count towards trophies. I never touched the game again out of sheer frustration.

There was nothing much to talk about since it was mostly cutscenes. Act 1 and 2 were arguably the best parts of the actual game, it's too bad each Act after that was either mostly cutscenes or drastically changed the type of gameplay.

I talk about 4 all the time. It's a perfect finale, and it ties the series together in so many satisfying ways that I believe it to be the single most gratifying story experience in video games.

It may have some minor hiccups, but by golly is it a joy to play through.

It does require a sense of strong attachment to the previous games for maximum impact, though. You can't just blast through the series and love MGS4 as much as I do. There has to be a connection, a feeling of investment, maybe even nostalgia.

MGS4 > 1 > 3 > 2 >>>>>>>>>...>>>V

In terms of story, that's my ranking ^

Gameplay wise, they get better in order of release dates.
