I was thing about MGS2 well a topic got me thinking it got me thinking about what is missing from the game and what is missing from alot of games.
The length the playing time and the possibilities of a game. Mostly Length, the length of game i think will vary on the arena that you can play in, MGS2 is based on a ship when a game is based on a ship theres always going to be a limit of the area that you can explore and how repetative it's going to be.
I think that MGS2 lacks in this it really brings the game down, in a game there needs to be changes in the scenery, you can tell that a game is really good and makes you want to play it more when say your at school and your thinking about what your going to next on the game and your playing everything because you can't play on it so you just think about it, when you can't wait to get home, when the game makes you rush home so you can play it as soon as possible. Alot of games lack this now.
A game that can do this which i have just recently started playing is Final Fantasy 7 now this game has the arena, It has possibilities galor but it has the thing that i think is needed in most games which i like to call the "drag factor" it drags you back for more and more, MGS2 will do this for a while but for how long? and how long will the game last? ok Final Fantasy 7 doesn't have the graphics all the time but i think it more than makes up for it in game play it makes up a whole lot.
MGS2 is just missing this, it's got the graphics and a story line but is this what the gamer wants personally i would much rather have gameplay and with the technology these days you can have the graphics in there very easily and even a good story line with out over doing it, I think that game creators now have to realise that all these factors can live in the same relm.
If you look at the cut scenes in MGS2 it just gets ridiculous at how long they take, it's nice to look at for the first time but after while it does get annoying.
going back to what i was saying, In this kind of game the arena that you can play in is just so critical it gives the game a long play time or short play time it can give the game endless depth or short non-lived depth.
The game makers these days need to get in touch with the public, with who there selling the game to. Because some of them are getting out of touch.
I think my over all view is put across even though i did go off please post your thoughts

red faction would be better if it had more places to explore.
where suppose to be talking bout the topic.
What over games do you think would of or would be better with more time spent on the arena space?

Good topic Longy, haven't got much else to say..... er... I'm off to eat sme pie.
maybe because some people will read the title "whats missing" and not get it.
Yeah GTA3 has got a long lastability and again it's got the big area to play so theres endless things to do.

I felt the same, after completing it 4 times and collecting all the dof tags on medium the game got very boring and I decided to trade it for an X-BOX (my PS2 that is), I was looking forward to a very lenghy game but I finished it very quick (under 15 hours first time). the second time took me 4 hours 57 minutes and thats is terrible for a game that was hiped so much, oh well lets hope MGSX can smooth out the problems and bring us a flawless game!
Good post though.
