No, I've had enough of this ****. I'm not even going to bother finishing it. This is one of the worst Metal Gear games I've ever played. Worse than the DOS port of the NES port of the MSX original. 
I constantly have crappy equipment. So I'm forced to replay the same, boring levels, over and over and over again to slowly level them up. I am in effect equipment grinding through the same dull missions with exactly the same mission goals in the same recycled environments.
This is not a Metal Gear Solid game. In a real MGS if you want equipment, you storm a jungle base, shoot it out, knock some dudes out and claim your prize: a heavy cal machinegun or something. In every previous instalment each item was the result of a hard fought battle, and it felt like a triumph. Well, except for MGS4, but still. When you got a new toy in previous MGS games it was jubilation.
In this, a new item is the result of moving Hippo from the kitchen to the lab, and Kitty from the lab to the mercs, and then replaying an extra mission 3 times so a PERCENTAGE NUMBER slowly crawls up. And then you get a gun which is still crap, but incrementally less crap than your previous gun. Presumably if I do this routine A MILLION TIMES I will end up with something which isn't utterly useless.
This is terrible, terrible, terrible. I just can't stand it anymore. There are no victories in this game. No sense of accomplishment. No rewards. I have been stuck with the same piece of **** RPG launcher since the start, and it does **** all damage to those robots.
I am also sick of fighting robots, again and again and again. MGS, contrary to its name, has never really been about the Metal Gear robots. They're usually the most boring fight in the game, since it stands at one end and you stand at another, firing missiles until one dies. Real MGS is about ninjas, snipers, fat guys on rollerskates, vampires, dudes who shoot bees out of their mother-****ing mouths, and invisible tentacle monsters. Peace Walker is just one recycled robot after the next.
Good lord, I haven't hated a game this much in a long time.
