I'm glad he's done this just to shut up all the hyporbolic wannabe tastemakers who (for some reason) acted as though this would make or break the game -- and to act as though it would is more indicative of being a "filthy casual" than anything else, since anyone who's played most of the series thus far know there are reasons vast as to what makes MGS great outside of whatever slo-mo and enemy-tagging would decimate.

The jaded skepticism originated from the aforementioned IGN article, which was written by Mitch Dyer. Most recently, however, he was featured to do commentary for an overview of the TGS daytime footage.

As you read through the comments section, he's mostly getting his ass handed to him. As you watch the video, you clearly get the idea that he's well-versed with Splinter Cell while perhaps (at best) casual to MGS in the most passive way possible.
