Now I loved Metal Gear Solid, LOVED it. On a whim, since part 5 is coming out soon, I decided to check out Ground Zeroes. Only ten minutes into it and I'm already getting frustrated. Dealing with every button on an already complex controller having multiple functions may be the standard for modern big-budget games, but it's a pain in the ass. Looking around (just looking!) for extended periods of time to try to make sure the coast is clear, only to finally take two steps and immediately be spotted by something I didn't notice is also annoying. Every Metal Gear game is like that, but I find myself becoming less and less tolerant of it. Maybe I'm not as young as I used to be and am better suited for casual games than "tactical espionage action". Obviously there's still a market for them so I might be in the minority here, but I find it harder and harder to muster the patience required to get through them. Don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate the effort and polish that goes into making these, and I hope they continue to be successes, but I feel like I'm not cut out for stealth-based games any more.
