I' m on my second playthrough - taking pictures using the ingame camera that i missed first time around. The game is all kinds of badass...
...however, act' s 2 and 3 are the weakest, with 3 having very minimal gameplay. 4 and 5 are total fanservice and Kojima seriously overshoots on the ending, ....far more so than Peter Jackson did with King.
Aspects of the plotline have obviously been retroactively revised - which is fine for the most part, but because some of the voice acting and dialogue is washy and so much of the game is made up of cutscenes, ...it really doesn' t help. Drebin is the best non-Snake character in the game.
Act 3 is lame. The chase sequence is fine - it looks amazing, and the cutscene and the end of the act is cool, but for the most part the gameplay is really weak.
The cutscenes are stellar, and as Agent said, the production values are out of this world... but Kojima has this habbit of pulling you out of the immersion generated by these f
uck awesome scenes by including some stupid emotive explanation...
The gameplay is spot on though and the game has very high replay value. If you had been wondering why the Beauties are so easy to kill once they' ve shed their armour... just run away from them until the timer (which isn' t shown) runs out and it' ll go into VR-like mode where if you equip the camera the girls will pose for you. It' s funky shit!
When you guys have completed the game, take some pictures with the camera and move them over to you PC and post them in the other thread.
