I think more people should listen to Shameless and at least rent the earlier games to see if MGS is their cup of tea. There was a letter from a reader in GI a few months back where somebody was complaining about how he hated Mass Effect and it was nothing like Halo or CoD. Something similar could happen here if people buy it just because it's a AAA blockbuster not realizing it's not their style of play at all.
Personally I'm planning on grabbing the bundle at launch and selling the game to someone else. I'm not that eager to play it yet with plenty of other games I want to dive into first and I'll grab the Substance/Subsistence/"Whatever they decide to call it this time" version next year when it comes out.
