Uhm, no actually.

But I appreciate your response.

Metal Gear Solid 4 is going to end at around 93 on Metacritic.

Just not high enough....

From my personal experience of playing the game, it should get at least 99.7

i can't wait for to 12-06

Right there with ya

Back to the original topic:

 As a literature major and English teacher, I'd say, yes, stories can be overly and needlessly complex - convoluted and obscure for the sake of being so.

Now some people like the difficult and the challenging, and some people don't, just as some people love simplistic romantic comedies and some people don't.

The reviewer has the right to his opinion - and I hardly think a 92 is reason to start jumping off bridges.

Sony fans starting jumping off bridges?  Maybe not, but I'm sure Nintendo fans would be taking turns pushing them off.  ^_^
