wouldnt you be pissed if your ideas were thrown out of the window by the people you worked with before?

on the dot.
Hayter is also a script maker, making him think a lot. So rather than voicing Solid Snake, he is also / should be contributing ideas to Kojima. At least he stays with Kojima, unlike

dont get me wrong, I dont mind he left, but he should be responsibleto the claimed 'westernization' stuffs that he brought in MGS universe.
I love MGS. It was the reason I bought a Playstation in the first place (still remember playing the demo in the cd sampler for Playstation 10 years ago)
But in my opinion, the mechanics for MGS4 is too weak. I have to say, MGS lost its flavor in MGSPO, then it continued here.
MGS3 was still MGS..i dont know how to describe the 'flavor' to you guys, but I am so used playing in a tight spot where weapons and supplies are scarce.
MGS2 I can say, for me personally was the best MGS. It had the flavor, the gunfights, the WTF story line and interesting characters. The only gripe I had with the game was not knowing which Snake was Raiden. The sniping missions, the C4 hunting, escort mission, it was complete.It was a true successor of MGS1.
And, I am not a fan of over the shoulder's view for Snake's firing action. I prefer to switch into FPS mode, like in MGS2 and 3. Why you ask?I dont know. I think its one of those qualities that it brings MGS its flavor.
I am not against innovations or new stuffs, but I thnik we should be given an option in this issue.
My own opinion lah.
