I have read them, and while we all are arguing opinions really, I just don't see the point in bashing a story - it will never be perfect, its a story for crying out loud.
Gameplay, pacing, presentation, controls -those are things that constructive criticism can fix. Obviously after playing MGS4 those topics have been improved from previous titles (don't get me wrong - when I want straight stealth I play MGS3, when I want pure simple fun I play MGS1, when I want a special type of stealth gameplay which relies on radar and corridor sneaking I play MGS2) and of course finally I play MGS4 for its completeness and innovation - again the story and gameplay may be not for everyone. But hearing such negativity, toward a subjective matter, that isn't warranted or backed up is just naive.
But to each his own I guess. I just get tired of hearing people bitch for bitching's sake. And It is dumbfounding that people exist who implore blind certainty - like there is no way but their way, their opinion, and all conclusions stemming from their thought process is gospel. I just want ppl to enjoy life and enjoy what they have/ what they play. If you don't like it, find something you do like and do it/ play it. Or make your own game, with its own story, and make millions and become a gaming icon i.e. a Hideo Kojima if you can!
Here's hoping Policenauts is released with subs this year! woohoo
