Dude, the last boss fight was BADASS! How could you not like it?
The motorcycle chase was really fun, and well done, but I agree it could have been harder. I liked the cutscenes in Chapter 3 (except for the Mission Briefing), so I didn't have a problem with it.
Dude, did you ever get swarmed by those robots in Chapter 4? They could seriously do some damage. I was playing on the 2nd hardest difficulty, and I felt you HAD to be stealthy in those sections or else it would end up taking you more time, especially in the room with the Geckos. Chapter 4 had a lot of stealth gameplay, so I liked it quite a bit, as well as the best boss fight in the game. I enjoyed being inside the Metal Gear too.
Chapter 5 could have used some more gameplay, but I think it was intended to be relatively short, and I liked how it included cutscenes when you were crawling as Snake through the microwave areas. A nicely done cinematic touch.
You are more than entitled to your own opinion of the game though, as I know Kojima's style isn't right for everyone. The Akiba and Meryl thing did get a little annoying, but at least the fighting in that cutscene was entertaining.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
