Oh and to add about GTA4...I haven't accomplished half of that game yet to this day. I burned through MGS4 in 3 days. Which do you think I found more interesting? The one I couldn't leave alone or the one I barely play?
Are you new to the Metal Gear series or something? Metal Gear is famous for its extensive and gripping narratives. The gameplay is great but I'll be perfectly honest I fly through the action sequences just so I can get to the next cutscene for more of the plot. Who cares about the gunplay? And I'm really sick and tired of people saying "Oh the AI is ignorant and there is no pop-out-and-shoot mechanic!" Ok for one there is such a menchanic and I'm kinda mad they put it in because I'm...
It is the last installment with Snake as the protagonist so it better hold true to long, deep, gripping narratives. If you don't like this type of game, clearly you have never played any of the other metal gear games and should therefore not play this one because you will have no idea of what is going on. As a veteran MGS player/fan, in my eyes this is a great conclusion to the snake saga. So shut it newbs! Go play some halo!
