| d21lewis said: Possible spoiler; Since the days of MGS1, Konami has been breaking that 3rd wall between game and player. Remember when Psycho Mantis told us what games we liked to play? What about when Revolver Ocelot told us not to use a rapid fire controller, because "He'd know". Little easter eggs like this litter MGS games. I bet that while some of these installs are mandatory, at least one of these installs is going to have a "twist". I had MGS2 ruined for me, thanks to Game Informer and EGM's reviews. ANY tidbit, even cutscene length, is a potential spoiler. MGS games are experiences. For fans of the series, it's what Star Wars movies are to sci-fi fans. I have faith in Konami. So much faith, that I am buying a PS3 solely for this game. I'll tolerate their restrictions. Tolerate is the wrong word. I appreciate their restrictions. I want this game to last forever. Games like Mario, Zelda, MGS, and GTA are events. They only happen every few years. I want to experience it the way Hideo and co. want me to; spoiler free. |
You know what, I was on the other side of this argument but after reading the letter and then your response I realize that this isn't my fight. Everyone who cares enough about MGS4 enough to GENUINELY care about spoilers is already buying the game and would agree. Nothing that any reviewer is going to say is going to get them to not buy it or someone who want to get in on it to buy it.
They know that MGS4 is an involved game which you don't play in 5 minute bursts. I feel like everyone who is on the other side of the argument doesn't really care anyway and they are just trying to make internet noise. It has been my commitment to not be another angry nerd who hates on everything. (Except Spyborgs, I really am not feeling that game... but I might be wrong)
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
