User blog comment:Raziel Reaper/GTAWiki News: Metal Gear's Creator "Depressed" by Grand Theft Auto V/@comment-6601208-20130716231051

I've been a fan of the Metal Gear Solid series for a long time, remember playing the original(never got to play Metal Gear or Metal Gear II on the NES) several playthroughs on my original Playstation. I actually loved II: Sons of Liberty as well but it got semi-panned due to the general hate of the naive co-protagonist Raiden. III: Snake Eater was just such an awesome game due to all of the survival gameplay additions and the awesome story showing what made Big Boss the man he would be. Some people hated the lengthy cutscenes in IV: Guns of the Patriots, but I loved them as it neatly tied up just about everything in the lore of the series for true fans. And the gameplay was fantastic in my opinion for 2008, was replaying it a few months ago once they finally added trophy support and its still such a fun game, especially the more "open-ish world" first two chapters of the game.

Now all of that said, I have never been more excited for a game than I am for GTA V.
