I mean, it is so ridiculous, so over-the-top and absurd, that I am kind of intrigued despite knowing I'd probably hate it. But in a way I just have to respect the sheer balls of the dude for being so self-indulgent. I'm sure the story is shit and all, but I guess Kojima's approach is unique if nothing else. I mean, long cut-scenes are crap. That's been common knowledge for at least a decade. But NINETY MINUTE cut scenes are just frothingly insane, and I'll always have a degree of sympathy for anyone willing to go that far off the deep end. It's no longer just boring cut scenes. It is the absolute pinnacle of boring cut scenes. It's an EVENT. Never again will we see dribbling madness of this magnitude. That has to count for something. I have a certain curiousity about MGS4.
