Which is exactly why it's disappointing. You've seen everything. I was thinking he was holding back something but apparently not. WYSIWYG. Based on the consensus, the gameplay is not engaging at all. I don't give a shit about narrative anymore if it can't even do something simple like that. I would have just watched a series if all the immersion I will be getting is playing a walking simulator. I'm not saying that just because at it's core it's a walking simulator, it's bad. Even a game like Yume Nikki is 10 times more engaging that what this whole game seems to offer.

So you did make yourself believe it was something it is not, that is not the fault of the marketing surrounding this game.

Also most of what you said is not objective but personal preference.

Sure. Let's keep it at that. I don't have time to argue with something as petty as this. I'm glad the reviews saved me 60 bucks and potentially more since it is telling that this game is running on nothing but Kojima hype. I already started to feel his games slip ever since MGS4. MGS5, I was unsure since Konami being a dick could have been the cause. Now that he's not in Konami and on his own, it's certain that he just wants to make an interactive movie rather than an engaging gameplay with a really good story.
