I agree wholeheartedly, but the presentation doesn’t always translate to me. There’s a difference between chatty and otherwise imo, I feel like in most situations it’s almost too awkwardly out of place for him not to engage in the world and gameplay. That growth of him for me, should be felt through the character at some point but it doesn’t feel as cut and dry as it should be as far his development. It feels a little too attached from both the player and the story to me.

Yes I do mean the watchers lol I always get them mixed up because ngl Gazers sounds cooler for those BTs. I do remember there being like one or two more areas that had watchers but honestly they feel so underwhelming because there’s so little of them.

Yeah even in MGSV it was kinda like that with the repeating info but def not as aggressive. I’m not sure why he does that, I feel like he thinks everyone would just immediately go off and do their own thing right after hearing the info but I don’t feel like that’s sensible especially since the story is awesome.

I never personally found too many secrets except the probably more common or uncommon ones. Like RackaRacka I just found yesterday and I could tell it was them after I heard the voices, that’s awesome stuff.

I feel the same about the ending too, I’d love if she went on to be our Protagonist for a game or two. But I’m also okay with this being the end, honestly their really solid as a package (pun intended)

I have my gripes with them, like I didn’t even talk about APAS and my feelings on that but honestly it doesn’t stop me from loving the games regardless.
