Pretty much.

No. I want a Tidus laughing like scene instead. I love that scene, it's my life <3

I haven't played any of the TellTale games, might change that when the Batman game they're doing gets released.

Phantom Pain is easily my Game of the Year right now. First game in a long time where I was seriously hooked on it and I'm afraid to hook my PS3 back up in fear I'll start playing it again over the rest of my backlog...

Its a radical departure from MGS4 actually. The controls are more streamlined and while the third person shooter elements remain, the enemy A.I. is significantly smarter and more lethal. You really can't Rambo your way through the game and stealth is 9.5 times out 10 the best way of completing missions. Honestly it's probably the best game in the series in terms of gameplay because the open nature of the game gives you greater control on how to tackle missions and the evolving A.I. forces you to incorporate more of the weapons and toys than previous games. It lacks good boss battles unfortunately but I have few complaints other than that. This is also coming from someone who felt MGS4's gameplay was one of the worst parts of the game.

The funny thing is that Quiet is probably the best character in the whole game in terms of writing. The fan-service nature of her character is blatant and a bit excessive, but she really is the heart of the game for the most part. Her ending in the game is rather touching.

The man is a master alright. Phantom Pain feels like a game Kojima is really trolling people with in a good way.

I think it was around 2am after several nights of little sleep that I got to this point.
