Ground Zeroes

Never has a videogame made me so disappointed or infuriated.

Most of my criticism is only relevant to those who've played earlier games in the series.

• This is mostly to do with Kiefer Sutherland taking over the role of Snake.
• There's a video of Kojima telling this shitty story about how some douche in Hollywood is like, hey I know Kiefer so Kojima was like, yeah lets use him instead.  Cut to Sutherland saying, 'I've never played any of the games & don't know shit about them but I'll do my best hahaha'.
• Hearing his voice come out of Snake's mouth is literally infuriating.  I COULDNT keep playing passed the first stage clear.  And even that I rushed through.
• He just reprises his role of Jack Bauer ~ including, apparently, influencing the character for the worst.
• He 'rescues' a hostage by strangling him & telling him telling him to 'accept it'. Bauer pulls that shit all the time.  Like what school of Black Ops teach that if you are strangling someone, that telling them to 'accept it' is going to make it easier? Compare this to the rescue of the same character in Peace Walker - where he is like, 'hey thanks for getting me out of here' now it seems like Sutherland was like, 'hey wouldn't it be neat if instead he is freaking the fuck out and I have to strangle him to show that Snake is calm and collected.  Big Boss is supposed to inspire loyalty.  Who the fuck would follow Sutherlands Big Boss into battle?  I wouldn't follow him into a Kroger.
• He hasn't taken any cues from the original material.
• He has no personality.
• Kojima's disloyalty to David Hayter is disappointing.

• No tutorials.  Last thing I want to do in the middle of a firefight is load some goddamn website (in lieu of a real pamphlet they want you use the browser...)
• CQC hasn't been improved, it might actually be a little worse.  Snake throws people down when you want to grab them, etc.  If there was a tutorial I could practice w/o it reflecting negatively on my mission score.
• No peaking!?  Under doors or around objects.
• Can't
• Pick up two primaries?
• Search bodies?
• Close doors behind me?
• Ease doors open?
• Change firing modes?

If you haven't played any previous titles...

• This (and other MGS titles) are probably the best stealth games ever.  Play this.  Play MGSV.
