And someone answer my freaking question. MGS3 is easily the game I'm looking most forward to, but I can't understand the disappointment in the demo.
Well, since you asked so kindly.
Now, David can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he was turned off by the duration and frequency of cut-scenes and radio communications in the E3 demo. Like most of us, he wants a Rambo sim with Snake as the star, and could do without the interruptions of a non-sensical plot.
I like MGS2. The gameplay was refined over the original, but I did prefer the more grounded story of the first game. Which isn't to say I didn't enjoy the absurd melodrama Kojima presented to us. I threw popcorn at the screen and laughed my ass off through most of the final act. I still had fun with it.
What I'd like out of Snake Eater, is perhaps something in the middle. Something that ties up the loose ends of this trilogy in a profound, but not stupefying, way. The core story in this game looks to be exactly what the doctor ordered, and the few Kojima indulgences, depending on how many, I'll be able to forgive.
(btw, I've always thought Kojima made games like Miike does films.)
Can't wait for Snake Eater. And... I can't wait for Kojima to make something outside of the Metal Gear universe with his next game.
