I was actually surprised he didn't leave with the others that left IW because I remember watching a video of him talking about why he had joined IW, so if the people he had hoped to work with left then I assumed he would too.

Maybe he was stuck in a contract, or just didn't want to get involved in that legal mess that went down during the initial split?

I suppose. I hope he finds a place that will make him happier about his job.

Kid Gloves: When Hand Holding Goes Too Far

As I was moving into the end game of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, I was tasked with finding three power couplings to unlock a door. It was a simple enough job, but in a game that had been almost entirely a linear affair, I was glad to have the rails taken off if even for a small section. It turned out that this wasn’t the case; any time I got remotely close to one of the power couplings Doktor would chime in on my codec to inform me that I was near my objective. Frowning, I destroyed the coupling and repeated the task with Doktor telling me exactly where to go and what to do. It made me realize just how much game design has changed in recent years, and what needs to be done to combat the need for constant hand holding that game designers have developed.
