If you will recall, in an earlier blog I posted about my anguish. An anguish I felt for I had no Metal Gear Solid 4. And if you also will recall, I recently came into a perfect situation which gave me the fortune of owning a PS3 and this game.
Early on the morning of Sunday Janurary 25th, a monumentus event occurred. At around three in the morning, I finished the fourth and final chapter in the Metal Gear Solid series. Hard to believe, but it’s nearly been eight months since the game was released, and now I finally have gotten to the end of a very long road. Eight months of near agony dodging any FAQ, article, review, and even going so far as to plug my ears during conversations about the game.
Even after all the hype has subsided and the talked has died down, this game still lives up to my wildest expectations. In short, Kojima tied up all those lose ends in one nice little package. Nothing felt unresolved, or cheaply resolved. I finished the game with a great sense of satisfaction and glee. All the pieces have come together, and I no longer have to censor myself or others. Also the gameplay is Metal Gear Solid refined even more. As much as I could go on and on, you already know this. All these details have been covered many times, and much more eloquently then anything I could type. Needless to say, it’s as good as they say.
Best of all, my friend Erik and I were able to hash out all the details and talk like giddy schools girls about all the juicy morsels of secrets and plot twists. Though I won’t spoil the plot details for you fine folks, I will say one things: RAIDEN IS THE MO FO IN THIS GAME! Yea, nuff said.
Ahhh, sweet relief.
