I’ve been assailed by a deluge of MGS4 publicity material this week as the game went on sale in Tokyo, with multiple attacks on television, print and public transport, even at work. A series of promotional events were also scheduled by Konami but were subsequently cancelled, due to the unfortunate stabbing spree in Akihabara.
No doubt the game must be a heck lot of fun ( check out reviews by RIUVA and Jasrie ), but just like most others that are ( HALO, TF2, just to name a few ) therein lies its curse; as a person of astonishingly weak self discipline I know there’s no stopping myself once I start playing, and I already have too little free time outside work.
Next time, maybe.
Wow, they sure didn’t go easy on the copy lines - “Have we run out of games that can be handed down generations?” “Are games nothing more than “time-wasters” now” and whatnot. Definitely catches your eye.
rare commentator - Haha, probably just trying to stir a little controversy, I’m sure the game would have sold equally well without any striking captions.
