It's just that I like his attitude. He's not simply satisfied with what can be done with the system. He wants everything to be absolutely perfect, and wants the impossible always.

It's this kind of developer that brings the best out of gaming :D

Well I admire his attitude, and I can see where it would definitely fit into being a great developer, but I don't agree he's amongst the best any longer.

 

 

I'll take it you didn't like MGS4

I didn't hate it, but I felt it was trying to play catch up gameplay wise(borrowing heavily from RE4 and Gears) and had a horrible balance of gameplay to cutscene ratio. I can live with having so many hours of cut scenes, even though there were quite a few unecessary scenes and sub plots, but at least throw more game in there. Believe it or not, some MGS fans did enjoy the series because of strong gameplay and not merely to watch a story. Chapter 1 had good balance. Chapter 3 had awful balance. I barely remember playing any of Chapter 3 at all, but I do remember an awful lot of sitting down and staring at the screen. The worst part is that the cutscenes in Chapter 3 were far more action packed than the gameplay was in that chapter, and I wonder why some of that couldn't have been reworked to become playable.
