Metal Gear Solid.
I know I'll make a few mortal foes saying this, but I've only once had the patience to sit through more than a half-hour of a single Hideo Kojima game. Dude's got brains to spare and artistic vision for certain, but goddamn, dude needs to know when to let me fucking PLAY.
Let's start with Metal Gear Solid.
I'd wanted to like MGS for a long time. I recalled renting the first one for about a week and enjoying it, albeit sucking at it.
So I got MGS2: Subsistence (I think it was Subsistence? I've done my best to forget). Hated the controls, hated the camera. Thought the story seemed intriguing, though, so I looked it up online.
Still wish to hell I didn't. God damn it, Hideo.
Later, I got a PS2. And during a stretch of time when I was regularly getting laid and feeling charitable, I picked up MGS3. Yep, this is the one Metal Gear title with a story that didn't seem absolutely fucktarded. It was still written like shit, barely voiced capably, and I had the same control and camera issued I did with the second title.
I have to admit I haven't bothered at all with 4.
Guess I'll stick to Thief for my sneaky bits.
