Bump!!!!!
I am considering buying this game, but am still hesitant for a number of reasons. For one thing, I just know the story will be long, complicated, and completely nonsensical. Also, I assume about 50% of my time will be spent watching cut scenes explaining the plot and I still won’t get it. I know this because I played all the other games and still have no idea who the Patriots are supposed to be. Something about White House documents coming to life and Americans getting *edited*ed off at the Chinese and Russians.
Also, I’ve heard a lot of people complaining that the action segments suck out loud. I know that in all the other games, if a guard saw me, I might as well drop a grenade on top of Snake, because it’s pretty much over from there.
Still, for all their warts, I’ve liked the other games. That is, I like when the stealth bits go off flawlessly. I just don’t like having to pace back and forth for a half-hour to figure out what the hell is going on or wait for the guards to kill me because I can’t find a locker or something. I’m not saying the games suck; I just don’t think they’re TEH BEST GAMES EVER PERFECT10PERFECT10!!
What do you guys think?
