Solid Gameplay

Bleeeee-aaaaargh!

Trying to blaze through the last portions of the transcript is fun, although I've still got to edit and get all my illustrations done. But for now, I gotta focus on the big prize.

And stop pulling all-nighters with Metal Gear Solid 4. Well...maybe not stop entirely.

Speaking of MGS4; incredible game. If you haven't played it yet, go play it. And if you don't have a PS3, go get one (Pimpmasta S, ah'm lookin' at you!).

The refined controls make blazing shoot-outs much easier to handle, although I miss the haxx0r-like "Tactical Reload." It's not a glitch if they tell you in the manual how to implement it.

POW! POW! POW! CLICK-CLICK, Full clip!

Otherwise, it's perfect. I wish they would have made the BB corps fights a little more interesting. The Beauty and the Beast unit is probably my favorite adversarial group in MGS history. Although, I miss the old days when you would defeat a boss and they would chat it up with Snake about their past with their dying breath, instead of Drebin calling you up and telling you, which begs the question, "How the hell do you know that?!"

After completing it, I went through again on a No Detection, No Kill game to get the Stealth Camouflage and Bandanna, which wasn't easy. The game goes a lot quicker if you skip the cutscenes, though!

If you're playing Metal Gear Online, I'm under the character name "Belts," and maybe we could play together.

Anyways, I'm gonna get back to writin', so I'll see you later kiddies!
