Dammit, I just want to play the game at this point. I refuse to read any of these reviews but it's starting to drag on me... Must resist...

It's quite surprising that you would be so hyped about a game that is said to so closely resemble MGS2, your least favorite in the series. Yet it is also great that you're keeping an open mind toward mgs4.

BTW, according to games guru it has been confirmed that the gameplay time is 10-13 hours vs slightly less than 9 hours of total cutscene time. So the initial calculations of 30% gameplay time may be somewhere around 40% more accurately. Though so much conflicting information regarding MGS4 is coming from every corner that it's hard to tell who to take by their word.

I liked MGS3 (though you obviously didn't care for it). All that bothered me about the game was the controls, which they fixed for MGS4.

Whether Kojima goes MGS2 or MGS3 with this game doesn't matter... I just want to play it and judge for myself. To make sure I keep an open mind about it, I'm not reading a single review before I play it. I want to guarantee subjectivity for my editorial, which will be about 1/2 MGS, 1/2 "other games". Which end of the spectrum MGS ends up on is entirely in Kojima's hands.

 Lol, you better abandon the internet on June 4 because that's when the strategy guide will be releasing. The internet will be full of major spoilers as far as the eyes can see.

Though apparently a reviewer who obtained a promo stock of game will be leaking information and providing screenshots in 3 hours on the gamefaqs boards so we might not have to wait til the 4th to start packing...
