Ah, I didn't mean to come off as negative when I was assessing the trailer/outcome of the game. Okay, I can see why you'd say that, but it wasn't my intention at all. I was simply expressing my sadness towards the whole "finality" feel of the game and the fact that many of the characters have grown up and/or matured which lends to the "finality" feel; they each discovered their purpose/place in the life and now there's no more of the innocence...it's almost like watching your friends and favorite people grow up and knowing that lives have changed and things will move on. It's just sad, that's all. And I never said I won't love the game for all the things I feared; the darker and more mature feel of the game is spectacular, so what's not to like? But it could be perhaps that I will end up loving this game the most, which is why I dread it. Because watching the trailer and being entranced by its beauty, there's a sense of doom in me that lingers well after the trailer is over...and I never usually feel this way for anything dramatic unless it's something that I really love.

*Sigh* I'm such a sucker for MGS that I'd probably be willing to buy the PS3 early just to assure that I have one to play the game. Not that I'm too happy about it considering the price...*grumble, grumble*
