Idc what any else says... No crouch, no grapple, no prone... And no gun play (even as an afterthought?). Ah metal gear what? OK. The fact that a Japanese company handled it but it plays like a western game is garbage. Drakengard 3 has a way better control scheme and at least a dedicated block/parry button. I'm not sure who green lighten this trash but honestly a metal gear game (in 3d) where u can't even crouch is subpar to begin with. I hate the control scheme and the stiffness with which raiden is controlled. Cool boss fights but other than that the game is just a cash grab. Kojima shouldn't have been a coward and designed it himself. Obviously they put swordplay in mgs2 and it was actually pretty damn cool because it didn't take away from mgs-esque gameplay.. I'll be honest, after mg4, Kojima productions are lackluster and just completely a shadow of what they once were. Sure mgs5 has awesome game play, but the story was so bad it wasn't even funny.. I feel like the series should have ended with 4. Yes u should have had raiden playable in it (why else even include him in the game?) but all in all mgs4 is the end of the series in all respects..this game feels very rushed. And also blade mode should have been in first person.. Duh! And lastly this game should have used the fox engine :/ no open world maps... Cool.
