"Custer's Revenge is a better game than Jak 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4" -sammyCYBORG, 2017
I'm not gonna have this debate for the 50th time on NeoGAF, so this is my 'one and done' post on the matter.
MGS4 is the worst game ever made because it's part of one of the best franchises ever and had so much potential. It's such a bad game it retroactively makes the series a little worse.
There will always be games that are technically 'worse' but the most disappointing and terrible experiences come from games that had pedigree, potential and every opportunity to be great, but were still shite, like MGS4.
Of course there are millions of games which were made in a bedroom and are dire, but nobody cares about them. Having one of the biggest game franchises ever and royally fucking it up is something else entirely.
Thus, MGS4 is the worst game ever made, and hopefully forever will be, as I never want to be that disappointed again. What a pile of wank.
At least 5 was great though, even with all its glaring flaws.
