There's a lot of side stuff to do during and after beating the game.

I always attempt to finish GTA games, but I never have. I think I got the furthest in GTA3, nearly beating it but coming across a tough mission with a low chance of survival. The roadblock for me is usually some difficult mission that takes a long time to initiate and then has a very large margin for error. GTA4 has one like this very early on. The mission starts and you have to cross over the fucking bridge to get to a guy, who then takes off. You can lose him easily,and then you have to start the whole thing over again, including the 5+ minutes it takes to drive to the guy again.Aazealh said:Without being masterpieces of storytelling, the stories are usually pretty good. I never quite understood the people who just "played" these games by using cheat codes and shooting cars with rocket launchers.

It's not an MGS game. It's a Metal Gear game. There's a distinction there, and clearly the distinction has meaning in the shift in tone.Proj2501 said:What's wrong with it? Well, Raiden picks up a MG Ray and throws it in the air. Kojima went on record saying he wants this title to be ridiculous, mindless fun. It was never what the MGS was about. Yes, the series was far fetched but the tone was never this far fetched. MGS gameplay, since it's original incarnation, was about stealth. This game is a clear departure what what made it's predecessors the classic they are. What makes me bummed, is that this is a conscious choice. This game is Bayonetta meets MG universe. Maybe it'll be a hit. I don't know. The companies want to make money. I get it. It's just sad to see a good series go off in this direction.
Raiden (whether or not you cared for him) was never a happy go lucky type of character. He hated his past and by the end of MGS4 was really done with being what he had become, his focus apparently shifting to his family at the end. Unless they really craft a story with some meaning, and not follow Kojima's mindless aspirations, I hold out little hope that real MGS fans will enjoy it.

Kojima is pulling a George Lucas with this nonsense.

I'm not a fan of it either, but nor did I really expect Kojima to be satisfied making roughly the same game over and over for decades.
