I'm baffled that so many people can be turned off by SWORD FIGHTING AGAINST A METAL GEAR RAY! Since when has over the top ridiculousness become a bad thing?
Don't you know that change is bad [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheyChangedItNowItSucks] and that Raiden ruined Metal Gear Solid FOREVER?!?! [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuinedFOREVER]
Honestly, if they make the gameplay actually like what that trailer is showcasing, and
don't limit the cool stuff to quick-time events, that looks like it'll be a goddamn fun game. It's supposedly still going to have some stealthing elements, and I will never understand how people think they can judge the
entirety of a game based on a
leaked promotional trailer that shows something like two minutes of actual gameplay.
EDIT: By the way . . . Kojima has said that it would be a significant departure from the style of the previous MGS games, and if you actually watched the cut-scenes that make up 75% of the games, you'd notice that most of the characters are significantly more deft and competent in fights than the gameplay has allowed.
Extra EDIT: And honestly, if it still took the same gameplay from Metal Gear Solid 4, people would be complaining that it was a shameless cash-in and was making the series stagnant. Just another example of an unpleasable fanbase. [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnpleasableFanbase]
