^Again, I apologize for that. I just get really annoyed when someone questions me just because I prefer a certain game over it's more popular predecessor (and the fact that I've dealt with much worse responses to my opinions doesn't help). I admittedly wasn't in the best mood when I read the post I replied to, so I really did go overboard with that response (even though I am serious about my dislike of solely using objective factors to determine if someone likes a game. I know that you (or most people in this thread, for that matter) weren't really doing that, though. I was kind of venting a bit more about Tuna's old post, which, combined with the quoted line in my last post, set me off).

To be honest, as convulted as it is, the plot and dialogue kept me hooked like almost no other game has, and I personally think that the latter is the best in the medium (the fact that the actual gameplay's fun doesn't hurt either). As YorkeDaddy mentioned, story is subjective, but I loved the insanity of it all, which is why I honestly felt a bit disappointed with MGS3, as great as it is. I felt as though Kojima was pandering to the fans who were disappointed with MGS2, and while it still worked perfectly fine, it just didn't have the same pull that 2 had because of that IMO.
Also, on the subject of Kingdom Hearts, I agree with you about Days being respectable, even if it did have some missions that I loath with a passion.
