	[quote name="FABIO"]7% Discussions on "old" (ten years or less) movies. Instead of a quick philosophy to go quip from mei-ling, now you get a one minute long rant on shitty movies from Para-medic. 10% Para-medic going on about imagined Japanese superiority. There were no fucking Otaku in the 60's, back when Japan was still a burned out radiactive wasteland that couldn't manufacture a quality product to save its life. 11% Ocelot twirling his revolvers. This one is no exaggeration either. They will spend a full minute or more in cutscenes just showing Ocelot twirl and juggle his guns. It goes on for so long, you swear that it's a setup for some joke like him dropping one and having it go off, or you expect one of the characters to tell him he looks like an idiot, but no. The game is actually trying to make him look cool. The silliest of these is when Ocelot fends off a swarm of hornets <i>by twirling his revolvers to form a "shield" in front of him that kills the giant cloud of hornets</i>. 15% Pointless and gratuitous Matrix effects that were played out 5 years ago. THe game will shift into stop-go panning and bullet time for no reason. Something as undramatic as opening fire on an already crashed plane calls for panning and slo-mo closeup of the bullets flying through the air (that apparently spin like throwing knives???). 5% People asking Snake about his gun/knife stance and Snake explaining that it's so he can switch from a pistol to knife quickly, because "sometimes in close quarters a knife is more useful than a gun". Bull fucking shit. 7% Snake rattling off all the modifications to his .45 (a gun that would knock someone flat on their ass in real life that takes 20+ shots to kill someone with in alert mode). 8% Snake desperately trying to impress everyone by taking every chance to go on about gun characteristics and shooting techniques, like some certain crazy former admins. 4% The female lead getting groped. 7% Ocelot getting the shit kicked out of him. 6% Genuinely funny conversations (mostly with Signit and Para-medic about your equipment and food you find) 5% The bosses yelling out their name over and over again (The Pain! THE PAAAAAAAAAAAIN! explode) 15% More retarded conspiracy theories about shadow governments[/quote]
