But in a chat with PC Gamer to mark the upcoming release of <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/action\/metal-gear-solid-delta-guide\/\">Metal Gear Solid Delta<\/a>, he said he&#8217;s finally given it a try, and you know what? It&#8217;s pretty good.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, there was reluctance,&#8221; said Hayter. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t want to play the game because I figured it would hurt my feelings. Then, you know, 10 years went by and I was like, &#8216;Ah, to hell with my feelings. What do I care?&#8217; \u2026 I&#8217;m a screenwriter, so I get fired for a living, like I literally, eventually, get fired from every single gig that I&#8217;ve got, and I&#8217;m not a child.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was like, &#8216;Stop being a baby and play the game.&#8217; So I played it. It&#8217;s amazing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hayter says it gave him a new perspective on a few fan interactions over the years. &#8220;I would ask fans, &#8216;What&#8217;s your favourite Metal Gear?&#8217; And if they said Metal Gear Solid 5 I&#8217;d be like, &#8216;What the hell, dude? Like, you know, thanks. Do you wanna give me a paper cut as well? Maybe pour some lemon juice on it?&#8217; And then I played it and I&#8217;m like, &#8216;I think this is my favourite gameplay of the series.&#8217;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"jQMhyWrHv9dbVXKZU5gD3f\" name=\"mgs5_coop\" alt=\"Two Venom Snakes lying next to each other on an Afghanistan rock.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/he-once-said-playing-metal-gear-solid-5-would-be-60-hours-of-humiliation-but-snake-actor-david-hayter-finally-played-the-game-all-is-forgiven.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"caption-text\">Now he has to play it again with the co-op mod. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Konami, modded by unknown321)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;The fact that you can go into the same scenario each time, and the [enemy] soldier&#8217;s gonna be doing the same thing, but you can take on different routes or different strategies of attack, makes it feel like time travel\u2026 So, yes, that was badass.
