IGN’s Jessica Chobot Plays Metal Gear Solid 4

Apparently, Jessica Chobot played Metal Gear Solid 4 about a week ago and she is definitely not a fan.

Read her actual Sept 29 post at: http://blogs.ign.com/Jess-IGN/

"This past weekend I played both MGS4 and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

My assessment of them both: YUCK.

The cut-scenes in MGS4 were akin to torture. Bamboo shoots under finger nails and then lit on fire type of torture. Additionally, I wasn’t too keen on the "ring" aspect. There I am, standing perfectly still and crouched down, against a corner and in a shadow. Not making any noise or anything. My suit has managed to morph itself into the wall. I am completely invisible….

UNTIL, one of those fodder-troops happens to step into my "ring" and all of a sudden becomes keenly aware of my presence!

Keep in mind that in the cut scene, I was doing the same thing while hiding from the gekkos. In fact, they were so close to me, they actually threw my lit cigarette back in my face. Gekkos that have thermal imagery detection and hyper-sensitivity couldn’t find me but the hired chode that’s randomly wandering around managed to "see" me through a wall. Did the opposing forces hire nothing but psychics that can randomly sense my old-ass presence?

Grrr…

And the cut-scenes! ACK! My head hurts."
