Imagine thinking MGS2 was good in regards to the story and characters.

MGS2 was a worse nonsensical mess than mgs4. Mgs4 was left cleaning up mgs2s skullfuckery of a story.
There's a reason mgs3 was a prequel. It's because even Kojima didn't want to deal with the Fallot of the trainwreck that was the second game.

Mgs4 suffers from having the best gameplay in the series, combined with the best locales, and then having the least gameplay. The middle East and South America are fantastic places. And you barely feel like you scratched the surface, and they're over.
Europe is a complete joke which could have been cool as fuck if it wasn't just a giant game of follow the mouse.
And shadow modes is wonderful, bit also cut short in favour of a Gundam fight.

Mgs4 is awesome, and it's gameplay still holds up 12 years later.
But it shot itself in the foot by having too little gameplay, and too much exposition.
