Last game you beat

[gamemaster1991]

Last year I played Metal Gear Solid 3 for a game challenge. I found it a slog to get through and pretty much gave up on the 3D Metal Gear games. This year, there's another challenge, so I did the same thing with Metal Gear Solid 2.

It is a very silly game that wants to be a serous game and put forward a serious message. However, unlike MGS3, this feels like Mr. Kojima knows what he's talking about. The game is finally tuned to be tough but fair. I was afraid that since it took place on an oil facility, I would get lost, but I knew where I was at all times. The long cutscenes did turn me off at first, but after the intro scene, they weren't too bad IMO and I pretty much enjoyed them. That being said, the last two cutscenes of the game lasted an hour including the time I took to kill the boss (which wasn't very long), and tried to jam every twist the story could muster.

All in all, I just learned that MGS3 was a fluke and just because I didn't love or even like the best game in the series, doesn't mean it's a bad series. It's not enough to make me a hardcore fan, but I'm more then willing to go play the other games. I'm even excited to playDeath Stranding now.
