Played a bit more MGS2 last night. Decided to experiment some more with the whole standing at corners and leaning approach; turns out that even though you can't aim at all with that approach (as opposed to aiming, rotating the camera all the way around, then stepping out around the corner), you don't have to. Auto aim is crazy and even if the enemy is nowhere near where your laser site indicates they'll still get shot. That's silly, but feels way better to play.
Did notice another couple of silly things, though; Cell calls every goddamn second, and Snake/Raiden
constantly repeating everything that's said.
*Raiden sees two guards.*
*Cell phone rings.*
General: "You need to deal with the two guards."
Raiden: "Deal with??"
*Raiden sees a bug.*
*Cell phone rings.*
General: "You need to step on the bug!"
Raiden: "Step on?!"
The story and dialogue are definitely falling into the "this is so bad it's good" kind of category.
