Some of the themes might be deep and it was pretty cool in the first MGS for PS1.... but you can only rehash and repackage the same themes so many times before it just becomes ridiculous.

In my opinion, Hideo Kojima should use his talent to come up with something completely new and original rather than sell out to corporate pressure to spin the Metal Gear brand to make some cash.

If you were keeping up on development stories with MGS4 you'd have known that Hideo has a great time developing MGS4 and even forced the development team to do a few things differently.

To be honest I don't really think you have much of an interest in the story; which takes away a lot from enjoying the game. The games aren't like most game sequels. In fact the games themselves play out like a series of movies. Much like the Godfather, Lord of the Rings, or Godfather series. Even if MGS4 there's references to everything that's happened in the previous 3 games. It's not just rehashing the same theme.

MGS4 doesn't use the fixed camera. Neither did MGS3. It was a free roam 3rd person camera.
