Kojima’s clearly a fan of conspiracy theories a conspiracy theory involving the United States government and the Patriots (much as the player understood them as at the conclusion of Metal Gear solid 2) would have been more satisfying and more logical than “The Patriots were actually these people you knew all along except we hid it from you and the only reason we were able to hide it from you is because we actually didn’t know about it ourselves”.
It would surely have been easier to come up with original answers and new characters as opposed to reaching into the grave the franchise has dug for itself just to revive old characters. The story is largely retconned The worst part is that the story doesn’t even need to be retconned in the manner which it is. Why not just let the emeritus player carve his way straight through? Why, for instance, doesn’t the resistance member wear his PMC design from the very beginning of the sequence? Why does the resistance member loiter around when you haven’t caught up with him? Why does the resistance member whistle aloud while he’s walking down thesilent streets, even though he knows he cannot allow himself to be caught? And how did the resistance members visit Big Mama’s house the hundreds of times they had to before Snake arrived on the scene to help them get through the dangerous back streets of “Eastern Europe”? Furthermore, why is it that as long as you don’t look like Snake PMC soldiers won’t be bothered, even if you’re wearing one of the ridiculous alternate face camouflages? (Credit goes to Ravi Singh of The Snake Soup for pointing these things out.) The escort mission cannot be completed by jumping to the finish Even if you know where you’ll have to end up, you still have to guide the resistance member through the twenty- or thirty-minute sequence through “Eastern Europe”. No cover system For an action game, it’s amazing that there’s no native cover system. This seems to sort everything out pretty quickly. The lesson learned is that you should never enter a battlefield lest you lose your mind in sixty seconds flat – unless of course you can take a break to look at some non-nude Playboy models in some Playboy magazines you happen to have handy. It makes the game very difficult to play it’s Sisyphus pushing the boulder up a hill, because the game coaxes and coaxes you to use the weapons and then takes that right away (like Mirror’s Edge) in the converse the game coaxes and coaxes you to stay stealthy and then it takes that right away as well. He becomes clunky and he vomits a whole lot.
Once the psyche gauge begins to fill up, Snake’s ability to aim and hold a firearm steady virtually disappears. In areas where too many guns are being fired or too many enemies are around Snake (so it’s bad for both action- and stealth-oriented players) the psyche gauge begins to fill up.
