I still don't understand why PW was not made into a mainline game considering how critical it is to the canon in retrospect. Kojima deeply enjoys pissing away money.

It was supposed to be a numbered entry initially. I think it was changed as the thought process was people would complain if a numbered entry was on a portable console (and given Kojima received death threats over the original potential MGS4 ending, they were probably right). I mean it is really still a mainline game regardless, just a shite one that was pretty pointless.

Because "VI has come to", while sounding the same, isn't anywhere near as cool.

Am I alone in thinking it was "okay"? I didn't really play much Monster Hunter and I played it on PS3 as opposed to PSP (I don't know if this made it better or worse). I thought the set up was cool; could've used more spy thriller and less 'ISN'T THE BOSS AMAZING?' Uh....no. I don't care.
And the repeated mission where the guy kept sneaking away was so, so tedious.

I don't know, I enjoyed PW. A LOT. I remember being disappointed when it was announced that Rising was a PS3 title and PW, an actual sequel, a PSP title. But it ended up being my favorite PSP title and I have a crapload of hours in it. I enjoyed BB being a bit more shady and moving towards that war criminal we know him as.
