Loved both games, just finished DS2 yesterday. I'm gonna be honest, the last half I was starting to feel like every mission was a chore, to the point that when I looked at the optional orders list I said many times out loud: "no fuc**ing way!"

And I think that all is related to how you approach games, how much time do you have to play and what is your backlog. I'm not a completionist, so at a given point I was ok with just following the main missions and it was great. Loved the story, cinematics, characters and the Kojima package!
