I had several gripes with it, probably the biggest one being the insane gameplay/video ratio. Of course all MGS games were chock-full of cut scenes but parts of the fourth game (like the entire third and fifth act) were completely ridiculous. To make things worse, starting with the third act the little gameplay there is, is not really good. Sure, the fourth act is great fan service but basically you just run through an abandoned warehouse and fight billions of annoying robot things.

Also, the story was terrible. Even worse than in the second one.

This is pretty close to how I felt about MGS4. I pop the game in to play chapters 1 and 2, every few months, because they are absolutely great. Beyond that, there were some exciting sections here and there, but the game lost its consistency. Still, expectations aside, it's one hell of a game.
