Apparently Konami changed their statement about the delays and said it wasn't their fault but the gas prices'.
You are stronger than me, Cow. I have two projects to finish by next week, yet here I am.
It's going to sound hypocritical, but I think you're doing the right thing by waiting. No game is worth neglecting your education for except maybe a PS3 remake of Final Fantasy 7.
The game is a blast so far tho. The only thing I'm not liking is how they made men's buttocks even more detailed.
The game keeps trying to point your attention to it. I was hoping they would have toned down the homo stuff this generation. It doesn't even make any sense either. No fabric works like that, Kojipro. Please stop doing it.
::edit::
Finished Act 1. I kinda wish I chose a harder difficulty setting. Solid Normal feels a little too easy and I seem to be progressing more quickly than I'd like, eventho I'm taking my time. Overall act 1 is already the best part of the entire MGS series. I hope the next acts can match or exceed it!
