This is kind of a embarassing post but..I am so blown away by this game, truly just astounded by it.
Have any of you read a book where because of the great character development you start to just
love the scenarios and general world created so much that there comes a moment when you realize
your getting close to the end and you start reading really slowly trying to delay getting to the end
as much as possible.
This game is doing that to me...Now that I am in Act 4 I just dont want this thing to end....
After thinking it over I felt this way last night when playing.. it was more like Ive been reading this "book" for like 10 years or something now and cant believe its coming to an end more or less.
Sounds corny but playing through this, with the flash backs and stuff actually brought back memories of me playing MGS1 and the others, the things I was doing and the people I and places I was getting involved with at that time in my life. Its like damn this series has been with me a long ass time.
For example, I remember with MGS 1, I was in high school at the time and my mom was just barley making ends meet and she did everything she could to buy that game for me. It was the one game I wanted that year and I know she didnt have the money for it but she showed up with it a couple days later. I played the shit out of that game, played through it so many damn times..
With MGS2, I didnt play it when it came out, I had a falling out with gaming at the time and just had other things going on in my life. I heard a lot of negative press about the game and just passed on it. About 2 yrs after the release a good friend of mine at the time told me I really needed to check it out and forget what people said about the game. I sat down with it and after I was done with it I was kicking myself for listening to idiots who hated the game. Playing as Raiden was one of the best gaming experiences I had. Didnt play through it as much as MGS1 but still had a lot of fun with it.
With MGS3 I started playing it but then stopped. A few months later, thanksgiving rolled around and I dont think I was ont he best terms with my family so I decided to spend the whole holiday beating it. I had a lot of fun with it but didnt play through it as much as MGS1 and 2.
The NES versions I barely remember becuase I was so young.
Ahhh... so many memories.. and now this.. MGS4 wrapping up not only the series but now that I think about and era of my life where I now dont have as much time to dedicate to games and have to focus on more pressing parts of my life. I feel like I am old snake now..but im only 25. :lol
