I went on a rant about mgs peace walker here XD.

Spoiler

Okay after playing more of Metal gear peace walker I can say, eh, it's fun but I have a whole ton of problems with the story, the entire thing is set in 1974 20 odd years or so before the original metal gear(the original not mgs) but the tech in this game, well heres the tech in peace walker http://pspmedia.ign.com/psp/image/articl...39-000.jpg and heres the allmightly war changing death machine we had to take down in the original http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j471...rTX-55.png you see were the black hole sized plotholes come in. I would'nt mind it personally, mgs3 had tech way before it's time like NV goggles for the sake of gameplay but the whole plot of this game which is canon btw depends around entirely around these unmanned a.i robots one of which is completely sentient.

The shagohod in mgs3 worked because it was clearly inferior to all the other metal gears and was developed in secret with enough money to fund a world war or 2, the ones from peace walker are sentient, unmanned and apparently inexpensive to make, why do they fear the metal gears in the later games then and furthermore why did the tech go backwards?!, it's also scaring me because mgs ground zeroes is a direct sequel to this.
Shame to because some plot points like the building of outer heaven are actually really well done here and are built into the gameplay, you have to manage your units, vehicles, your weapon development, health and food resources and did I mention you can build your own freakin metal gear! :D, it's really well done, not to mention the billion odd side missions. I also did not know this game was co-op, I have'nt got anyone to play with but god I wish I did, it'd be a ton of fun reminds me of monster hunter so much so that I actually managed to find this http://gamerinvestments.com/video-game-s...hunter.jpg best crossover EVER. So yeah overall games fun, but storywise it's riddled with some of the biggest plotholes i've seen in a game

And I also played betrayer, the beta anyway. Can I just say if you want an extremely unique horror game, PLAY THIS GAME, it's based around the lost colony of Roanoke and it has an incredibly interesting atmosphere and artstyle plus i've not seen a horror game based around this time period before.
Not to mention the combat and exploration is great, the game does'nt hold your hand in the slightest and the whole point is to gather clues and figure out yourself what happened to the colony, sound plays a massive part in the gameplay, it's very easy to die so paying attention to the sounds of enemy's and there direction is important, not to mention using the heavy wind to mask your gunshots.
It reminds me alot of the old 80s-90s pc horror games that did'nt hold your hand much, that and it's got a good dose of silent hill in a way, i'd reccomend it to anyone who's into horror or exploration games.
