The controls made little difference for me, I enjoy both sets. And besides, I bet he pointed a gun at Kojima, "Cut out the codec calls and change the controls, no one listens to me here and this is the only way I get attention." That would not suprise me. |

If he's not involved with MGS5, I will kiss the sweet Earth thank you. Honestly, MGS4, while still awesome, is my least favorite MGS game. I put the blame of that on Payton. He came in to "Westernize" the game. The controls were changed, from what I think was the best control layout of any game. The original MGS games had such a fun original control layout, and Payton changed it to mimic a shooter. I can't imagine how many times my first playthrough of MGS4, I hit R1 to aim in FPS with my pistol only to have Snake punch. Also, online is more of a COD/Halo shooter instead of steath action being able to move in FPS mode, and firing over the shoulder. Besides that, MGS moved farther away from a stealth game to more of a shoot 'em up game. It was located on a battlefield, with 50+ weapons, ENCOURAGING you to just run straight down the middle LMG blazing. Hopefully with Payton gone, MGS5 (when and if it's created), will actually feel like an MGS game. While I know my opinion certainly doesn't speak for everyone, as many people love MGS4 as their favorite MGS game, I know I speak for several people who share similar views on MGS4 as I do. |

While MgS4 was a great game, I wish Payton's stupid ass would have left BEFORE he had input on MgS4. I hate the way the controls are now. I am an avid fan of the old school controls. Mgs3 was perfect. Payton basically wanted to make the controls more FPS esque. Hence 'westernized'. The aiming reticule, the R1 fire button/cqc and taking out the square button. Just totally felt awkward for me. Especially since I dislike FPS. I dunno if Payton had anything to do with the 'level up skills' BS but im sure he did. In which case it pisses me off more. I hate the fact I have to level up shit, this isnt CoD4. If I wanted that shit I'd be playing one of the other hundred mediocre tasteless war games. I could go on forever, but I should just stop with the rant. Bottom line: Payton made MGS feel like something else. In a bad way :/ |
