This is not a review just yet. It’s just me waiting for this game to load onto the PS3. What a pain in the ass. If I had one complaint about the PS3, it’s the having to wait for a game to load onto the hard drive. It’s a little annoying…

Anyway, so I’m finally getting around to playing this…and as you’re waiting for it to load the data it needs to on the hard drive, it’s showing this looping movie of Snake smoking. And smoking. And smoking. And when he’s done smoking and puts it in his little environmentally conscious portable cigarette butt disposal, he lights up another one. Again and again.

Now, it’s kind of absurd because, really, it’s obnoxious to watch someone chain smoke. The other problem here is that, it’s not only showing this, but next to it, it’s popping up these little stupid messages. They talk about how you shouldn’t leave the disc in high heat…or that if you play the game and experience pain you should stop. But my favorite one is something like, “You shouldn’t litter!  It’s wrong!  Dispose your cigarette butts in ashtrays!”

But absolutely nothing about how smoking is hazardous to your health…

Japanese game manufacturers are AWESOME.
