The game was great like get over it already

Man, 4 was flawed for sure, but as a conclusion to the mgs series? About the best we could've hope for barring some overly long bloated cutscenes

This game got me through a very tough time in my life.

I played through the whole series before this game came out and was really struggling with mental illness and substance abuse.

After I finished this game I started me road to recovery and as lame as it was, I really got through a lot because of this game.

It's a very very flawed game but I like a lot of the messages of the series and well I dunno

Absolutely god awful. Terrible story that ruined the many events and characters of the series.

It's not about the plot it's about the themes.

MGS 4's theme is "Soulless Pandering"

No it wasn't soulless, it just suffered from some development hell
