Thoughts on the set pieces?

[Gene]

For me set pieces in any game are always pretty fun the first time around, but feel like dragging your ass against sandpaper upon replay. First time round I enjoyed all of the set pieces, but every subsequent playthrough I've felt myself rushing to get through them as quickly as possible. Emma has had a good few jabs and kicks over the years, not gonna lie. One of the biggest appeals of MGS in general for me is how much you can piss about along the way, but it's (obviously) very limited in what you can do when you're going through these sections -which is why I prefer MGS1 over 2.
