Honestly, there's no difference between gun battles and sword battles. Even gunmanship has certain arts and knowledge; sometimes, you even need to use maths to fire your gun. In that retrospect, mortars and bows aren't really that different. Either way, if using guns was so simple, there is no need for competitive shooting and training for it. The difference and advancement of weapons has no effect on how one should use a weapon; there's always an art. In fact, because guns are so powerful, we had to emphasize a new thing; responsibility. There's no difference between an ordinary man with a sword or a gun; they can destroy something and anything. People like Sakamoto Ryoma and Oda Nobunaga realizes this, and are regarded as mad for it.

Let me explain that video in concise words; Konami is turning the MGS franchise...into a slot machine series. That HD rework is just a scene you can watch in the machine, while the 'battles' are nothing more than the slot machine (yes) working to drain your money. While this is a common practice (CAPCOM has given the Resident Evil series the same treatment), at least other companies like CAPCOM still focus their efforts on making high quality AAA games, and pachislots are nothing more than their 'other side'. Konami? They completely refocused their efforts to gambling machines while still using the assets of their AAA games; now preparing to collect dust, knowing that they probably won't be used to make videogames anymore.
