well, i know the whole deal in MGS4 and i honestly think i was better served by watching and reading than playing it.... i've played Peace Walker before and story wise i just find it dull... not... like... horrible. Just Dull. That being said... i barely reached the halfway point in that before setting it aside... so there is that too.
Gameplay was fine though... moster hunter with recruting and rocket launchers really...
Now... i know there are two types of experiences... there is ''This was poorly done and it's bad because of it'' and there is ''I don't like this and it's bad because of it''. I try to keep an open mind when hearing and reading about it... because specially in gaming media, it is VERY common to mix those two badly. Also, the reviewing press for this game seems really poorly managed to me thus far...
It reminds me of Spec Ops the Line, where not only the game media around it was bad... the game was also fully willing to take me to a very unconfortable place. But it was done really well that in the end, it's pretty much one of my favorite games of all time...
gameplay is bland as plaid... but just the storytelling makes it worth it.
Now... with THIS new MGS... i dunno, Kojima usually has his Hype made for him much more than he makes it himself... but it really does seem like he is testing to see just how much can he really get away with in his games now... i have to admit that intrigues me... i just don't know if it was/can be done well...
