@aeterna789 @blackadder88 He said Blue Shift 2.... i.e. not new IP. Blue Shift was an expansion to HL1... wtf you smokin?

@Zain884 Do you play Sim City too?

@Hordriss Of course the aim is to make it balanced. And I absolutely believe that's what they're going for. But if you can buy anything other than cosmetic items, that's when the balance goes away.

As long as "microtransactions" remain "micro," I have no problem with them. However, depending on what you're able to buy with that in-game cash, it sounds like this could become a pay to win structure.

Can't wait to see WTF

@gonzzan I'm really excited about it, I think it's the best progression for the series. I hope to also see a good amount of the macro elements from Peace Walker.

@nate1222 You sound an awful lot like what you just described.

I'm almost starting to think of Kojima as the Eminem of game developers. Bear in mind that Kojima is absolutely my HERO. Anyway, it seems with this iteration of MGS, he is going out of his way to push boundaries as much as possible (a la Eminem). He sees it as his duty as a developer, I think.

I remember earlier in the year he made an announcement that the game "might not get published" because it was covering some really heavy, taboo themes. That announcement may have been mostly to garner attention, but I do believe he does all he can to push the envelope of the subject matter in his games.

Doesn't look as good as Chivalry yet... but shows promise.

@FrankFoxYaeger @TuRb0SxxT win. double win for MGS reference in your name.
