Metal Gear Stolid?

So Metal Gear Solid 4 is out.

I don't own a PS3 - and probably never will, the PC, 360 and Wii have pretty much everything I want to play, that is unless the Ico/SotC guys make a game for the PS3 - but with all the hype around MGS4 I feel myself on occasion getting caught up and thinking about grabbing the console and the game.

This will never happen, however, as I know fine well I won't enjoy the MGS experience. I've tried some of the previous games and could never acclimatise myself with them. They always just felt awkward, unforgiving and almost uncontrollable.

From what I've played I wasn't really getting into the story behind Metal Gear and Solid Snake either, but whenever I read about this stuff online it seems so compelling; I'm guessing these are romanticised accounts from veteran Solid fans.

I don't think I can ever really say I hate the game or possibly even dislike it, I don't think I've ever given it that much of a chance, so I think I'll have to stick with indifferent.

This is one game I'll be passing on.
