Seriously? 20 to 30 dollars for a game lasting only about 2 hours? Is this some fucking joke?
Couldn't it be like MGS2 where the prologue/tutorial to the game was placed in along with the full game? You know, Tanker and Plant? Is it really that damn hard to figure out?
Anyway, whether it was Konami or Kojima himself that was in charge of this stupid decision, stay FAR away from this game.
Yes because half of the damn game is spent crawling painfully slowly through an empty boring desert and the rest is filled with poorly written cutscenes so long you'd need refreshments and a bathroom break to get through one of them. The game isn't too big it is too boring. That is why the fast forwarded through nearly all of the gameplay trailer they showed at E3.
Different game circumstances. Portal is a 2 hours brain taxing high speed blow out. Where as Ground Zeros will largely be a slow, measured, time taking game.
