I'm enjoying myself at a little over the 3 hour mark. I like moving packages through the rain, I like all the physics stuff. At the very least, so far I've constantly been engaged in the decision making of where to distribute weight, what packages to take and what to leave, how risky I plan on being on the walk over, etc. It's a slow and involved game, and the consequences for fucking up are severe. And that's given me more than I could get out of some generic crap like Outer Worlds or the new star wars hack and slash.
However.
This script is, even for Kojima standards, very very stupid and clunky. Hearing such high quality actors dish out totally out of place exposition dumps filled with pointless terminology, giving a sixth grader's ruminations on the word *strand*, and straightforward anime writing complete with japanese mannerisms, pausing and repetetive pronunciations never ceases to make you question the point of it all.
Depending on how this pans out it could either be slightly better or worse than MGS4, but it's so wordy it definitely cant get good.
