Comparing or translating games to movies will always end in failure. The sheer length of video games, amount of voice acting needed, size of cast etc make them much more suited to a TV series than a movie.
Persona 4 for instance was made into an anime, which is perfect in terms of the storyline and size. I imagine that MGS is the same.

What you are doing, bro, is taking the lazy approach of implying that just because it is a game it would never make it as a movie, because we all know you have nto put any real thoughts into this statement.Fact: the production values of the games are easily movie like in quality. You have Harry Gregson William, one of the top composers in the movie industry, working on the soundtrack of the game, and its probably his best work he's ever done. You have the very best voice actors in the business playing the different characters (on a pure voice basis these guys are usually better than most major movie actors as it is their speciality as voice actors). The action scenes in the games, of which I can post many examples of, are easily of the calibre of a major blockbuster action flick. And just about everything in its production is of the calibre of a movie.
As for the scripts, its EASILY better than 99% of those you find in movies. As far as speculative fiction goes it has better, more interesting and more innovating concepts than pretty much any science fiction film out there (the concept of Metal Gear, which is probably one of the most horrifying weapons ever conceived and its implications on the nuclear deterrance theory, the ideal of Outer Heavevn, the numerous unique characters with their unique ideologies and unique abilities etc.).
Try harder to to be a hayter bro.
Edit - I'd rate MGS above stuff like LotR, Star Wars, and The Matrix. Tell me your favorite movie bro and I'm willing to bet that MGS has far better cinematic quality then it.
This whole argument can be invalidated by two words: Michael Bay. Just because a production has a massive budget, famous names attached to it, is "high caliber", etc. does not make it good, complex, deep or whatever have you.
Now I'm not sure if you can directly compare MGS to SW or the Matrix, let alone LotR. I mean, I do think that MGS is utterly feeble compared to LotR or even the Matrix. As for Star Wars? I don't know, I don't think very highly of SW myself so whatever.
Don't be a tool, "bro."

Good thing MGS has both. It has literally everything going for it. The ideas behind Metal Gear and FoxDie and Outer Heaven, the Patriots and the War Economy were all wonderfully unique and interesting, the plotting and scheming and scenarios that were engineered were all really complex and handled really well with absolutely brilliant plot twists, literally every single character was unique and interesting, the voice acting and writing was stellar, the action scenes were the best you can find, the cinematography absolutely beautiful, incredible music and graphics, the gameplay was incredible, and the ways Kojima used and experimented with the gameplay to cumminicate the story was absoltuely worldclass, the games ahd amazing drama, were amazingly thrilling, even had elements of horror, and the humour was absolutely top notch.
I guess that.. hayters, they going to hayte.

None of those ideas you've listed are unique to MGS and have been done in fiction before(of course MGS put its own twist on them, but the general idea is far from unique). Apparently MGS also came up with the idea of a War Economy? What?
The rest of this post is just you ejaculating all over MGS. Calling it "wonderfully unique, complex, brilliant, absolutely worldclass" doesn't make it so. Though I will admit that the gameplay of MGS1 was mostly ahead of its time and very well done.

Didn't MGS4 make it so that Liquid taking over Ocelot through his transplanted arm was really just Ocelot hallucinating the entire thing because he was insane?
The point was that it was not so random as Nephthys implied and that it was plausible in light of other pieces of information. Naturally it being plausible adds to the believability of it in general which would have helped with Ocelot's plan.
And he wasn't hallucinating because he was crazy, he actively underwent psychoanlysis and hypnotherapy in accord with his plan to fool the Patriots into thinking he was truly Liquid.
...god, I just typed that. This story is so stupid. [/B]
You are doing a nephthys.
BTW I've been playing Tales of Graces and the storyline is absolute trash... and Vesperia wasn't exactly a world breaker as far as scripts go either.

Another major problem with MGS hayters. They lvoe to spread misinformation. What Kaliero said was highly innacurate. And as a Tales fanboy he is in no position to say anything on the subject really. These are the kind of poeople that MGS hayters are. tales fanboys. lol. 😂
Except the "story" that you were just praising for its depth and ingenuity was all simply enthusing upon a hypothetical connection to validate a situation that was, in fact, not even true. I think you are doing some hallucinating yourself, and imposing it upon the games. Confusing your personal canon for actual canon.

I mean, I knew you were a sock, I was just hunting for something to pin you with it. You ruined the hunt, silly.
