They should take suggestions to help improve the GOD AWFUL dialogue. How people claim to love MGS for the "deep and compelling story" is beyond me. It's like taking the worst soap opera scripts and combining them with horrible internet fan fiction. Then, you just might approach the level of horrendousness of MGS. The game is pure cheese.
"Snaaaaaakeee..... Eaaaaterrrrrrrrrrrrr!" Horrible. Just Horrible.
Don't get me wrong, the actual gameplay is gold. But being taken away from it every 30 seconds for 2 more minutes of bad dialouge makes these games just unbearable.

I have one sudgestion for them that will improve greatly MGS4 online play. Drop the PS3, develop the game for the XBOX 360 and use XBox Live. Damn, I should get pay for this; I just gave Kojima the best Idea ever!

I totally agree with #3, although I think the main reason for the bad dialogue is because of the translation from japanese to english but I heard it will be much better this time around. I can't remember what site I saw it on, but there's some video of a guy from kojima productions being interviewed at E3 and he basically acknowledged the bad dialogue and said this will be the best translation we've seen yet.

LMAO... make MGS for XBOX? MS couldnt even sell their stupid system in Japan, and you expect them to to bring MGS to XBOX! Maybe they should concentrate on how to sell their system first. Good thing I didnt get that stupid system. I'm waiting for my PS3 and Wii!
Also, MGS is made originally for Japan and us Japanese ppl love out stories. Same goes for Final Fantasy and all other RPGs we make. If you american can't appreciate the thing we make then don't ask us to import them to your country.
Maybe we shouldn't of shipped the Skyline too!

Actually, maybe Sony and Nintendo should just work together once just to destroy XBOX. Such an annoying system that desperately tries to gain notice. But fails. XBOX doesnt even have it's own reputation. Nintendo has it's kiddy addicting games and Sony has it's hi-tech money greedy systems, as for Xbox....... what the hell is XBOX known for............NOTHING!!!! I rather drop $400 on a Dreamcast than an XBOX.
