I don't understand how Conviction is the poor man's (or the crapper version) of MGS4:

1) Both are established series and no one seemed to be complaining for the last 5 or 6 SC games when they were multiplatform

2) Conviction is set in a realistic world, MGS4 is set in a fantasy world (large robotic machines, genetically enhanced humans, cyborg's, liquid snakes... not literally :) )

3) MGS is about Infiltration, Conviction is about Evasion

4) SC has always sported completely real weapons (otherwise it wouldn't be a clancy game) MGS has bent the laws of physics and reality on a number of occassions.

5) Is it because Fisher looks like a hobo now?

Still, I wouldn't care if it went multiplatform, no loss felt here.

I'm an RPG fan, so don't really care about either game....but maybe you answer your own question....

 Lots of people don't want their games to be "real"...they don't want "real" places & "real guns" etc.

Sometimes it's the imagination, the unreality, the fantastical that makes games so alluring & beautiful....e.g. Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Devil May Cry, Halo, etc.
