Metal Gear Solid 4 = Sexy

Merry Late Christmas! XD

My favorite day of the year has been gone for almost a week now and it's been even longer since I updated this blog. Shame on mwah. I got a few things for the big day, like a much desired PS3 from me mum and "MGS4" and "Heavenly Sword" from mah boyfriend. I got "Left 4 Dead 2", too, but opened that way last month, HAHA!!!

Okay on to the meat of things... MGS4!

First off, I've been lusting after this game for over 2 years now, when it was only being promoted through teasers flooded with hints and easter eggs Kojima is famous for. (I've even bothered to insert my own easter egg in one of the pics up above! I'll give you an easy hint: it's in the 4rth pic). Although the trailers were gorgeous, that's not the main thing that had me sold. The point that this was another "Metal Gear" game had my interests peaked. I told myself I would have that game as soon as it dropped June 12, 2008.

But when the economy decides to go crazy and you wind up without a job or steady freelance, you'll find yourself waiting over a year and a half... LIKE ME -_-

However, it's mine now, I have my copy, my "precious" (LOL) and here's what I think so far:

It rocks. Period.

I know I haven't even began to uncover most of the secrets and story as of yet but what I've played so far had me entranced and I can say with full confidence that I know the rest will live up to my exectations. Having beat all the games on the playstion formats (not nintendo) the previous story is still pretty fresh in my mind. So when the MGS4 references the earlier games in clever ways, I feel proud as a fan and gamer to be able to keep up. It's like I'm part of a lil club or something, I don't know LOL. One example is when Snake is first introduced to Akiba... their scenario played out identically to how when Snake first met Meryl in MSG1. "I'm no rookie!" LOL

Another major thing I LOVE is how early you can get the RPG for your weapon. I get ignorant with that thing LMAO. Aaaaaannnnd.... you can buy ammo for it whenever you want in the start menu as long as you have enough points from selling weapons to Drebin.

One thing that I find hilarious is that Colonel is now married to Rose, who was previously Jack/Raiden's girl. I haven't played long enough to find out how that came to past or even how Raiden may feel about it, LOL, but I shall see soon enough!

I've been a "Metal Gear" fan for 10 years now (got MGS1 Christmas of 1999) and always have a blast guiding Snake through his heart-pounding, jaw dropping missions. Now, after a 3 year haitus, we're back together haha! I'll say it again as Raiden said before, "Snake, I'm at your side."
