It's more the absolute running joke that games (Metal Gear Solid series in particular!) say "Air ducts are tactically sound!" - Then you move through, loud as a motherfucker with no space to manoeuvre and then you are kinda fucked when they toss in a grenade or similar.

It's just playing up to an Tactical Espionage (looking at you MGS!) cliche! (Although this appears in FPS and movies too!)

That help at all?

As a commentary, it lacks two things to make it really work:
1. An actual story or gag.
and/or
2. Better performance to make it actually funny/interesting.
To me it just looks like going through the motions. The Sift can do better than this...

Uhh... I don't get it. Pointless.

It's commentary on the true practicality of the novel idea of crawling around in air ducts to attack baddies. It might seem like a good idea, but it's really hard to move around and keep track of where you are. Worst of all, if someone attacks you, particularly with a grenade, you'll be really disappointed when you're unable to escape.

Pfft. Never heard the saying "don't bring a knife/sword to a gun fight"? Fucking ninjas and samurais don't belong with mercenaries and special forces! Playstation can keep their crappy Metal Gear shite.

Is it just me or does the CGI and graphic techniques used seem awful lot like a mix of Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy?

It just looks...Japanese

[EDIT]: Oh, no wonder. It's co-produced by Square Enix and their Art Director happens to be Japanese.

I've tried to do a proper amazon invocation a few times with that link and it's not working. Time to call in the big guns.
@dag!


I believe the issue is that the Amazon link you're using is to amazon.co.uk and we can only use amazon.com links.

Your "amazon" invocation could not be processed - you did not specify a valid Amazon URL

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Hmm, didn't work for me either. I think you mean @lucky760

Actually this was pretty much my reaction to Metal Gear back when it was new. Borrowed the game from a friend for 10 days and got almost nowhere. Half the problem was never being able to enter a password correctly (at that age I didn't know how to write 0 and o differently).
