I hate this game, why does anyone play it?

So you're claiming you're more intelligent than the rest of us because we enjoy the game? That's real mature.

It's like me denouncing your taste in music because I don't like what you listen to. For instance, I thoroughly do not enjoy rap music. But I refuse to sit here and criticize someone because they connect with it. It's art and it speaks to the person and gets them through their struggles, etc.

No, I'm just saying there were no good surprises in the plot and it didn't take much to see them all coming such as they were. Pardon my use of unpleasantness there, but what I meant was that I am not stupid and as such don't like to have my intelligence insulted (but if you really wanna see how I feel about that, ask me about the film Signs someday). As for skipping, I mean a second time naturally. Once you've played through a Metal Gear enough times you WILL want to skip cutscenes so you can get back to more full-contact sneaking action. The lack of skippability is why I'm never playing this game again because I already know the plot and don't want to waste the time. Again, I wouldn't even have played it at all if tons of people at the time hadn't browbeat me into it and I hadn't been 'spergy enough to care what they thought, but I have so I have every right to point out its flaws. If you can't disprove them...

As for how I could've wanted to skip everything: I ended up playing this game twice to shut people up, and in the meantime had seen a fair few other friends play through it, so yeah, I'd seen those craply dubbed cutscenes plen-tee of times. FFXII did a much better job. Hell, Metal Gear did a better job in 1998. There were no excuses.
