Onimusha 12 -

Keep my name out of your posts unless you're responding to me, trick.

I'm not gonna argue this idiotic point anymore. The games already out, who freaking cares anymore? Why are you still bringing home this dumb point. For some reason you just have to bring down the PS3 in every post you make. Well have fun in this thread, I'm done.

@Onimusha12

You are as bad as the people that try to get games like Mass Effect banned because they 'heard' they contained pornographic material. If you haven't played the game you don't have an opinion.

I really hope there will be a discussion about how Square Enix fails at interactive story-telling when they release their new games. Newsflash - Japanese games have always had crappy, overlong cutscenes.

There's nothing wrong with enjoying how Kojima presented the story, but please don't confuse it with good story-telling. It played out like an essay, as if someone wrote a paper on the history of MGS that was being read by different characters. Great works shouldn't have to rely on long-winded explanations to convey their messages. That's spoon-feeding information rather than letting your audience interpret meaning. This actually detracts from its intellectual value. I'm not saying it has to be intellectual to be enjoyed, but when you're discussing the philosophical merits of the game (like many people have been), it needs to be held to the same standards as any other art form.

It's unfortunate (for me, anyways) Kojima took this approach. I thought every other aspect of the game was great.
