That’s not to suggest that the game is without flaws, however.
With MGS4, twenty years of series mythology and history finally come to an end (and though MGS4 is only meant to be Snake‘s last game, I wouldn’t have been at all disappointed if MGS4 were the last MGS game, period.). Even ignoring the fact that Old Snake is probably the single most complex character in videogame history (I am not exaggerating in the least), even Johnny Goddamned Sasaki becomes an interesting character in his own right. The plot, while interesting in its own right, has a much greater dramatic weight since we’ve all spent three entire games learning about these characters and now we get to see where their personality arcs finally conclude. With the player’s knowledge of the previous trilogy in hand, MGS4 throws all these characters together in situations you’d never expect.
The first three games in the MGS series act as simple precursors to MGS4, wherein the player gets to know and care for certain characters.
