Yup, it feels to me like Kojima tried the minimalist approach in terms of story this time. For a lot of games this might work, MGS is not among that list. It needed an in-depth story, it needed character closure for all characters involved.

It feels like 90% of all the time Kojima spent on this game went into the engine and gameplay. It worked, best gameplay all year if not ever imo. Graphics? absolutely stunning. Story however strikes me as an afterthought. Genuinely upsets me, I so wanted this to be GOTY, but it's just not.
