Coherent? Here is a synopsis I ripped from wikipedia on the final act:

[QUOTE="wikipedia synposis on the final act"]

Yet Snake doesn't end his life. Big Boss, very much alive, appears and explains that the body burned in Eastern Europe was actually that of Solidus Snake and reveals that the Patriots were originally an interpretation of The Boss' will, founded by Major Zero, EVA, Ocelot, Sigint, Para-Medic, and Big Boss himself. With increasing power, two rival factions arose within the Patriots' ranks, Zero's who stood for complete control, and Big Boss', who dreamed of a soldier's world. Eva and Ocelot joined Big Boss in his cause. He also explains that Ocelot purposefully used nanomachines and hypnotherapy to implant the persona of Liquid Snake as his own. Over the years, Zero let the newly established AI network assume more and more control, eventually leading to dependence on the war economy, a vision far from The Boss' original will. Big Boss puts an end to the last remnant of this false vision by shutting down Zero's life support unit thus killing Zero.

Tell me you didn't just laugh after reading a ridiculous synopsis of MGS4's final act. Hell, I even had a harder time reading that synopsis than I did with my Organic Chemistry textbook. Kojima is overrated. He is a great developer---but it comes to plot/structure, he needs to be shown a restraining order and be made sure that he comes no where close when it comes to touching or even reading the game's plot/story until AFTER completion of the game and when the game has officially finished production and is ready for shipment

[QUOTE="u8muhrice"][QUOTE="Deathtransit"]Castlevania because it's long. Enslaved I will get, possibly bargain bin though. I did love HS though.Deathtransit

I have played MGS4, and it's pretty coherent. Convuluted and corny at times? Yes. Still understandable? Yup. It does have some anti-war themes but it's not like it shoves them in your face. Mostly it's just a story about Snake trying to catch Ocelot.

Granted though, I never watched the 90 minute epilogue. I don't really have much time in my day to watch 90 minute epilogues :P

Kojima didn't write the story :|. All he did was give advice and slap his name on it for marketing.

Castlevania for me. Enslaved looks cool too, and I'm glad to see more action-adventure style games coming out.

But seriously, all he did was help make the main character more likeable and gave some advice on gameplay/cinematics(facial animations etc); the story was written by the devs. Kojima's stories have political/philsophical undertones but they aren't really as overbearing as you're making them out to be :|

Enslaved. Alex Garland (who is writing the game's story, wrote the Beach, 21 days later, etc) is an amazing author. Knowing him, he will do a great job presenting the story. With Castlevania, Kojima will prob add some ridiculous philosophical element that will leave you laughing and remembering how over rated Kojima was/is/will forever be. The guy really sucks. Bad. Really bad.

Bioshock 2. I haven't beaten it yet, but it seems like it has a good story. majadamus
