again i agree with you to a point. i think its a good direction for developers to aim to be in the same category as movies (and other forms of entertainment) however games like MGS are basically movies. they arent enough of an interactive movie as you sit and watch for a long time sometimes. i understand your point and some of it is true but if i want my game to be like a movie i want to be in control of the movie not watching it.
The quality of mgs' gameplay doesnt matter (I personally hate the game), its the fact that it offers a certain emotional experience that appeals to the japanese audience. Very few xbox games (if any) has created a similar experience.
