Thank god this isnt cancelled! I've had it pre-ordered since day 1!

More waiting I guess....

@tendoboy1984
This has absolutely NOTHING to do with Microsoft.

For some reason I had the feeling they were going to tone down the action just a tad and make it a little more "survival", similar to say...dead space?

But nope, in fact it looks like they went even further with it.

Whatever, i'm still buying it.

Used, of course.

They need to remember to divide the number of signatures by 6.

That's the number that will actually buy the game.

See...I am really ok saving the world (I'd prefer not to though), but I am extremely tired of being the "chosen one". Bethesda, for example, does it in every single game. Even when the character is some John Doe, a total nobody, somehow in a few hours he will become the only one that can do it. Why can't I play a guy that is part of an army that is saving the world? Do I HAVE to be the commander of the army? or the dragonborn?

Saving the world is ok but I would like to help save the world, not being the only one doing it.

@Liquidfingers but see...I never said I take the story of mgs seriously. I said it is better than any game made by platinum.

It is not about which story can be taken seriously, it's about which one can be understood. I beat vanquish about 4 times I believe and I can't remember anything about the story.

And while I do admit that there is some nostalgia involved when I say that I love metal gear (yes, even the story) I also have to say that it is a rather dumb move to give a story centric series to platinum. They will do wonders with the action but this has no place happening after mgs4 (or at all)

For christ sakes the story in vanquish rivals the crap in ninja gaiden (again...good games, horrible story).

@Oddgirl I know that it's hip to hate on mgs now but are you really...REALLY going to compare the story of mgs with things like vanquish....or bayonetta? or maybe even Mad World! now there's some quality story right there.

Really?

Maybe it's unfair to compare things like that seeing that most people don't even know that games made by Platinum actually have a plot.

Batshit =/= Interesting

"It was Platinum's idea to change the story"

wait a minute....PLATINUM is doing the story?

oh god.....I'm gonna be sick...

"If Avatar Massage Online was crap, why have 16,000 people bought it?"

because sales = quality!

Yeah, right. 16.000 people bought because people will buy crap. Period.

Thousands and thousands of Pet Rocks were sold in the 70s, does that make it good? No, its still just a rock.

But still...can't blame the people making the game right? I mean...if people bought dog shit, would you blame the dog for shitting?

Say whatever you want about the game but one of the best final sequences/final boss fights is in MGS4
