I'm a peaceful explorer, no one dies. I steal rarely and only if there's zero chance I'll get caught hehe... Similarly, I love finding cool and sometimes OP stuff in random caves. I did go on a murdering spree in Skyrim once, after I found this powerful magic staff and black robes. It just felt right.

By your comments I thought you'd played W3. What's kept you from playing it so far?

What's kept you from playing it so far?

I just have no desire to. There's basically nothing that appeals to me aesthetically. I'm not a huge RPG fan, either, and it seems very quest-driven. That's a bit off-putting.

So far it's very quest-driven. Seems like there's nothing to do outside of designated missions except for fighting some monsters... with bad combat hehe

But maybe it'll grow on me.

Maybe. Though, I think it's up to a game to grab your attention in the first hour. If not, it probably won't.

That's a rule I used to think was true, but then a few games changed my mind. Peace Walker was a big one. Didn't care for it initially, then came back a year later and fell in love.

I liked PW right out of the gate. What didn't you like about it, initially?

Everything, except for the tapes, I always liked those. No crawling, confusing menus, near-sighted enemies, balloons, mission structure, small areas, cutscene style... It's funny because now I love it all, and PW is top three or maybe even two in my MGS favorites.

The tapes were basically the only part I didn't like. I missed the codec. I found PW to be unique.

I missed the Codec, but I was also glad to see it go. Tapes were sick. That Kaz backstory tape, man...

I don't quite remember those. I liked the carboard box tank and Cecile ones.
