10 Video Games You Only Like Because Everyone Else Does

10. Metal Gear Solid 4

One of the highest-rated games to ever grace the PS3, Metal Gear Solid 4 acted as the culmination of the Solid Snake saga, bringing back adored characters and stories for one final hurrah.

And while it was amazing to see the finale of this epic series, the game itself was one of the most muddled and inconsistent in the entire franchise. Completely skewing the gameplay-to-cutscene ratio massively in favour of the cinematics, you spent more time watching MGS 4, than actually playing it.

Which would be fine, but the exposition-heavy scenes were difficult to grasp for even the most diehard of fans already heavily invested in the series' lore.

So, while the game received almost perfect scores across the board, this acclaim definitely had more to do with the respect the series had built up until then, and was 100% thanks to the resonance of the story, rather than the gameplay itself.
