It seems that many people are offended by what he had to say. Is it that he's just that wrong or does the truth kind of hurt a little? I'm sure most people here can admit that they've played something like a Metal Gear Solid game that had one or several long cutscenes where you felt disappointed that you had to watch the action instead of participating in it. I personally remember playing MGS2: Sons of Liberty when I was 18 and watching a very intense action moment. What followed afterwards? Walking through a quiet area after the cutscene. As young as I was then, even I could see that it was a huge flaw in a game that otherwise had great gameplay and level design.
