dude, we're waaaaaaaaaay past argueing over if kojima can write, there's people that like that gay shit and people that don't.
if you compared splinter cell and mgs to skating games it would be that mgs is like tony hawk where you try to see how much you can pull off but you don't take it seriously and think of it as a real spy game because you have to know what the game makes the enemies capable of and splinter cell is like skate where you have to have skill in pulling off real spy things and if it looks realistic then you can do it.
that's the nicest way I can say it because I mean, personally I think mgs is total shit.
