I didn't read this entire thread before posting. Interesting, I thought I was one of the few that didn't like MGS gameplay. I guess there are people out there that agree with me. |
There are many who agree with you. Kojima makes his games like movies, so you spend a lot of time watching cut scenes. I hate that, myself. It's boring as well, and the gameplay itself, while open ended, just isn't enough. I loved Metal Gear and ended up getting an old playstation with MGS and some other games for like $80 when I was younger, but I never managed to play through it because I became bored.
Of course, I was young then and I thought Metal Gear was a serious game. When I started seeing all of the jokes, that pushed me away. Some people love the type of humor and Metal Gear not taking anything seriously. I personally don't think it's all that entertaining and is really more of a distraction from the game than anything.
The MGS series is popular with a set of the core gamers in the US, but it isn't nearly as huge as you'd believe just reading Internet posts about it. People act like it's the second coming.
