I bet Mass Effect 2 beats that story with a mile. Not sure about that, MGS has a real solid () storyline. It's pretty dramatic and emotional. Besides that it's also really fucked up, because it was thought up by a Japanese guy. Yeah it is kind of fucked up, if you're thinking of it the 'war' way.. If you're not getting the stories, the cutscenes, it just looks like some fucking gigantic machine launching nukes, but when you watch the cutscenes, play the game as it's supposed to be played, its so beautiful and awesome! >.< Fucking love it, 10/10 edit: I forgot to say, everyone complains about the 4th being so short, and mostly cutscenes, I think its perfect. It is a perfect ending to the series, and you get some playing between the cutscenes... + it brings back alot of memories from the first games XD
