It controls fine after a little while, hacking the shit out of stuff is reasonably satisfying.
I only think it'll get savaged by those who disagree with it on principle alone

Totally agree. It's pretty enjoyable slashing stuff and if you can parry, it's pretty satisfying. I love the series so I will probably get it. Good to have something different sometimes. The boss battle was insanely hard however!
Peace Walker is bloody excellent.

I've gone back and played again on normal. I quite like the parry system now, that boss is a good example for it. You can't just go nuts on him, you have to wait until he attacks you, you parry and launch straight into a counter attack if you time it sweet enough. During the second stage of the boss fight he didn't lay a scratch on me.

I'm going to be really disappointed if this game is just MGS5.

Well, I'll be *happy* if this is just MGSV.

Because instead of something new, something fresh, something different, we get the 5th installment of another series.
I mean, yeah 'yay' it's another MGS, like we didn't know one of them was coming anyway. Instead they tease us what seems like a new IP and an absolutely balls out crazy one at that, then we're likely to learn it's just a sequel to a different series. It's underwhelming and disappointing.

I don't know, the 'main character' resembles Snake way too much to me. I never thought this was something new.

How can it be at all underwhelming if there's been clues to it being MGS5 since the first trailer

I'm not saying I don't want an MGS...which I know a lot of people are reading.
I'm saying I don't want THIS to be MGSV.

But the Metal Gear Series is hardly repetitive. They tend to introduce mechanics into each one so they feel different.
MGS: was the 2D games in 3D
MGS2: advanced the AI, added first person aiming
MGS3: The complete change of setting coupled with the camo mechanic
MGS4: The refined camo mechanic removing the constant swapping of costumes. Warzone dynamic, etc
It is one of the few series that refuses to stay stagnant.

No, the fact that it has to stick by MGS lore and not break free from that, that's what I don't want and why the game looked awesome.
It was something crazy, abstract and different and not overtly in the MGS universe. Now it'll just slot into the MGS world.
I'm surprised so many find it hard to grasp a simple concept, although I understand PAdman not getting it...
I'm not saying anything about MGS and what it does as a series, gameplay wise or story wise. What I am after, is something with new characters, new concepts, new designs. Something fresh, not another MGS, from what has been shown.

I'm the reverse. I'd love new series like Dishonoured if only it was Call of Duty: Whale Oil Wars in Old Timey Fantasy Land or if Journey was Super Mario: Peach's Desert Walk.
