That was also true. You could see all the marks in his skin.

ROFL...1:45...that is where it gets really, really bad. All well, so much for that series...I'll leave it for the people who think, "Why aren't there more sword fights on modern battlefields?"

I'll take that with a grain of salt...I might even be able to suspend disbelief to the point that a 7-foot tall robot can stop a 100-ton sword being swung down strait onto it...but then the guy uses a 4 foot sword to cut off an arm with a 30 foot diameter in a single blow...and the cut is perfectly square.

You mean video games aren't real? Whaaaaaat?! Mind = blown. You've just shattered my perception of reality.

I'm willing to accept a lot from a game, but you need to have a certain level or realism there...

Super-speed robot that can track sniper rounds, and move quickly enough to deflect them at an enemy? Yeah...that might be possible with enough technology.

Super-strong robot that can catch 50,000 times it's own weight without getting damaged? Maybe with some kind of alien alloy...I'll give you that.

4-foot sword that cuts 20 feet deep? But is never longer than 4 feet for the entire rest of the game? That dog don't hunt.

You obviously missed the part of MGS4 where Raiden, without arms, stops a full-on super-high-tech floating fortress with nothing but his body-mass. Or Vamp taking a slug to the brain from a .50 cal sniper rifle, straight in the forehead in MGS3, and again in MGS4...

Just sayin', this isn't the first time Hideo Kojima has stretched what can and can't be accomplished in "reality".

That said, I was just kidding in the first place. This game is a disgrace to the franchise. Ninja Raiden anyone?

You don't need to take it with a grain of salt. That was me being a complete smartass. I can understand why people would not like this game. Kojima productions has been best to sticking to gameplay style with the last few games that came from them. Castelvania: Lords of Shadow is another example. Awesome game, but not Castlevania. I will still rent it if it is indeed post MGS4, but I like hack and slash. I cant wait for Ninja Gaiden 3.

Yep, people were expecting it to be like MGS because I remember reading an interview with somebody from the previous development team and the guy pretty much said something along the lines of "you'll be able to cut down anything you want but since it's still Metal Gear you'll also be able to complete the game without a single kill". And now that's obviously out of the picture.

The thing I really don't understand is who got high and figured a game with the least interesting character in the series would be cool but that's a whole other story. I just hope this won't be the first of many spinoffs in the future. Just imagine it - "Metal Gear Duck Hunt" with Revolver Ocelot, "Metal Gear Twilight" with Vamp, "Metal Gear Powerplant Tycoon" with Volgin... the possibilities are endless!
