Does not compute.
My impression is that people loved the stealth and core gameplay of MGS2. People hated the plot and stupid codex conversations about Christmas gifts and whatever other nonsense they had going with Rose.

That's how I feel at least.

This game feels so far off the map of MGS gameplay that I wish they had just gone with a new IP.
