Here's the link (WARNING swear and such.)

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/99-Metal-Gear-Solid-4


He refers to MGS4 as the gameplay equivalent of Asperger's Syndrome. Smile (As both having AS+a HUGE Metal Gear fan I laughed sorry if I upset anyone.) It's all in good fun.

The rule with Zero Punctuation is that nothing is off-limits. I do not expect Asperger's Syndrome (or anything else that I'm connected to) to receive special treatment.

I agree that nothing's off limits Yahtzee (the review) says whatever he feels like no matter who it hurts. Since he refers to gameplay equivalent of Asperger's Syndrome I thought WP might find it interesting. Smile Sorry if I upset anyone It's all in good fun. Smile

It doesn't seem offensive, but then again I don't actually get the reference.

I am much more shocked that he did not mention that Snake now looks like an aging porn star.

I wasn't offended but I didn't get it. Perhaps I just missed some words or something because the guy's speaking so fast and I'm not used to listening to English but could someone explain to me what exactly it is that makes MGS4 have Aspergers Syndrome?

I'm guessing here but do you know how people with AS have alot of Obsessions? Well MGS4 has shooting,bike chase,stealth gameplay,action shooting there's ALOT going on is my guess but I'm not 100% sure. Perhaps it relates to the story because with that ALOT is going on LOL!

I'm not sure why he made the correlation. However it might have been based on how the game's combat mechanics, while they work fine for stealth gameplay, doesn't fit with open combat.
