The whole franchise has been hilariously ridiculous, I guess MGS4 took it up a few notches, but yeah didn't bother me too much. :lol:
I think we also forget that the story being so ridiculous is almost a play on itself. It's absurd, but I just sit back and laugh. I love the series. There's not many games out there with the MGS style.

I couldn't agree more with number 3. I hated that.

And did anyone else notice the OP lists the points as 1, 2, 3, 6, 5? lol

Why are 5 and 6 switched, and where did 4 go?

Or am I just missing something?

The only true memory I have with MGS4 is returning to Shadow Moses, I am not going to lie, when I saw the base on the horizon and "The Best is Yet to Come" starts playing, I got a little teary eyed, it was a total nostalgia trip for me. I know it was just fan services but I personally let that one slide.

This is precisely the reason I don't understand people's complaints with the story. MGS has always been over the top madness, the silliness we got in MGS 4 was nothing new. MGS 2's narrative was just as ridiculous, if not more in some cases.

I think the difference is more that in MGS4 the story tried to account for all that silliness, tie it all together, and make some sort of sense out of it. By the end of the epilogue, it came across less as a satisfying conclusion, and more that they couldn't leave well enough alone.

I edited stuff before I posted, adding in new points and moving stuff around. Must have made a mistake.
