Bosses ripped right out of MGS with no connection, just pure coincidence, even fighting the sniper wolf clone at exactly the same spot. Hours upon hours of redundant cut scenes, the story spent more time explaining it self over and over again then progressing. Bringing dead characters back to life for no reason other the nostalgia and being forced to endure Otacon crying at Naomi's death for what felt like 30 minutes is just some of the reasons why i can't stand MGS4.
Had the trailer for 5 come before i played that mess of a game i would probably watch it daily until the game came out
haha to be Fair Otacon crying is the same crying from MGS 1 (Sniper wolf) and MGS2 (E.E.). He gets a good cry in every game, and yes it's laughably over the top in every one of them. The voice actor for Otacon hams his crying up so bad lol.
The games has always been completely over the top dramatically.
As for the bosses thing, not sure what you mean by coincidence, they are supposed to be a copy of the Liquid led Foxhound from MGS1, storyline wise. It's not coincidence, they were selected for that purpose by Liquid Ocelot/Patriots.
As for the Cut scenes? Wow that was like the biggest positive about the game for me. Again MGS4 felt like an interactive movie to me, not everyones cup of tea to be sure, as it's one of the most frequent complaints I hear about 4, but to each their own, I ENJOY the 30 minute cut scenes =p
Unless I'm forgetting someone, Only BB was brought back to life, and while yeah I would rather him have stayed dead (specially since he died immediately anyhow), it's not at all weird or unusual given the other things that have happened in the storyline (The Sorrow, Liquid Ocelot from MGS2 as some examples).
Don't take this as me trying to argue your opinions as incorrect, I'm not trying to do that. I can DEFINITELY see how people could dislike MGS, specially storyline wise, but I do find it unusual that you apparently like the first 3 and dislike the 4th when it was only more of the same, but with far improved gameplay (one of my favorite aspects).
Games get pretty deep philosophically, which is something I consider a strong point, even if they drama and acting is over the top. I can't think of any other series that has a storyline anywhere near as deep as MGS. I'd imagine anyone who played a sequel without playing the previous titles would have absolutely no idea what was happening lol.
Did you at least like MGS4's game play (In between Cut scenes at least lol)? I thought it was one of the neatest games I've ever played gameplay wise, so many options to choose, and it felt very realistic and blended flawlessly with the cinematics.
Either way though, I'd say MGS5 trailer is worth watching even if you don't have interest in the game, it's definitely one of those trailers that sticks out, and the game is definitely going to be touching on some darker subjects.
