No joke, libellule, we have some very biased sampling here.
The only person I know in real life who didn't like the game was a hardcore Xbox guy who played the game about 5 years after it came out. By then the game was definitely showing some age on its controls with more fluid games like Splinter Cell having come out in the mean time. He also has a hard time playing any JRPG for more than 10 hours because he just gets bored. Surprise, surprise, he really likes Halo. He also tried to argue with me one time that the original Xbox had a better game library than the PS2. That argument ended pretty badly, with him just ceasing to speak after I actually started scrolling through Gamestop's website to compare the two libraries. He's entitled to his opinion, I am just saying he went in playing the game with a chip on his shoulder.
All of my other friends who played the game absolutely loved it, as well as MSG3. The ones who have a PS3/will buy a PS3 are highly anticipating MGS4.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
