I'm really looking forward to this game, and know that if I was in the U.S. now, it would be a system seller for me, despite not having played 3 yet. But I probably won't be playing it for quite a while, since I rode out the storm of my enthusiasm here in Japan. It will probably still be the first game I play when I finally get a PS3, but I really don't know when that will be. Wait and see, I suppose.Koreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16381463148055787401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542399795044817092.post-44036064839010996892008-06-27T21:51:00.000-04:002008-06-27T21:51:00.000-04:00I really hope you get a chance to play MGS4 soon, ...I really hope you get a chance to play MGS4 soon, Korey. I feel quite conflicted about the overall design, but there's no question it's a game of great ambition. <BR/><BR/>MGS4 did provoke me in ways I'm not accustomed to being provoked by video games. I did feel sadness as well as a mix of other emotions. Snake is a unique protagonist in the history of video games, and more than anything else, this game is a farewell to him and what he represents. There is a softness at the heart of MGS4 that one rarely finds in games, and I admire it for that.Michael Abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437378247420941499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542399795044817092.post-30429813110088323342008-06-27T00:00:00.000-04:002008-06-27T00:00:00.000-04:00Interesting commentaries, upon finishing MGS4 I fe...Interesting commentaries, upon finishing MGS4 I felt quite empty and not as reassured as I usually feel when I finish games.<BR/><BR/>There is this whole feeling of ending of life throughout the game and it is quite a challenging aspect to apreciate when you have been conditioned by so many "happily ever afters". I like it though and I am looking to explore more games of this unconventional nature.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
