Having finally played it, I still agree that it was an expensive but good demo for MGSV. The control scheme is much more fluid than anything in the series, though I miss proper Codec Calls and I'm annoyed the main game is bringing back the Fulton system because I enjoy the challenge of dragging POWs to THE CHOPPER! Hated the rail gun mission. Despite that, the game was impressive but I stand by my feelings it wasn't worth the price of admission. It did make me more excited for MGSV though.

I don't mind Kiefer Sutherland being BB. He did a good job, though his voice is a little too close to Miller's VA, making some of the tapes and trailers a bit confusing. BB is getting older and we know from previous games that BB and SS don't sound the same after a certain point (probably because Snake is way more of a chain smoker) so I'm cool with the change since we're seeing an older Big Boss. Like Bolivar mentioned, I'm betting money that Hayter was replaced because he's going to make a cameo as a young Snake. I don't believe in the switched protagonist theories the fanboys keeping saying (though I find the Quiet = Chico theory to be amusing) but I do feel he'll show up in the series traditional after credit Codec call will Big Boss giving Snake his orders to infiltrate Outer Heaven.
