That's the thing, my patience varies, sometimes I have all the time in the world for a game, but other times the dialogue frustrates me, I wish I had your determination...
Well, that's a little disheartening, easiest difficulty...Maybe if I play it again, I'll crank up the difficulty level to get a decent experience out of the game.
There's sort of an irony really, the dialogue in MGS 4 really annoyed me, yet I had no problems with the amount of it in all the Final Fantasy games, and Lost Odyssey to boot, whether or not I need to be in the right frame of mind has yet to be discovered, I suppose I'll find out one day.
The other 3 games interested me, MGS 3 especially, I loved that game, I played it through a good 5 times, it really hooked me in and made me empathize with the characters, now that was a masterpiece of a game.
