Thebe Kgositstile (Earl Sweatshirt) once said "critics pretend they get it and bitches just dont fuck with him." This also applies to Kojima games, and in this case I'm the bitch. I don't quite get why this game exists other than as some pale ghost of a beta test of a beta test for how MGSV eventually played. MGS3 felt extraneous in a similar way, but where it has a zany James Bond lampooning, MGS4 has--well, its unclear. Some future gamer will one day look at the lukewarm reception of MGS4 and laugh, but I'm big fucking chilling in the meantime.
