I was up until 6AM last night playing MGS3 and being unable to put down the controller because of the intriguing storyline :(

It’s 1964, and you’re sent into Russia to help a Soviet nuclear scientist defect. You locate him and find out that he was working on a nuclear tank and that it’s going to be used in a coup by a Russian faction. As you’re about to leave with the scientist in tow, you get intercepted by a traitor, get your butt handed to you in an incredibly dramatic battle, and then just barely escape by falling hundreds of feet off a bridge into a rushing rapid. Downriver, you attempt to recover from the broken rib, broken arm and multiple lacerations, on top of the emotional trauma of being betrayed by a close friend, when you witness a nuclear explosion on the horizon.

After these 3 hours of gameplay, THEN the opening credits roll, to a James-Bond-esque music video.

MY GOD this game is amazing.

So far the hilight of the game is a sniper duel between you and a 100 year old hunter named The End. You’re in a huge jungle that probably covers several acres of land. You’re crawling on your belly, inches at a time to try to spot him before he spots you. And what happens? After you’ve been sitting in the same spot for 20 minutes, peeking through thermal goggles and stealthily waving a directional microphone around to listen for his breathing, you hear footsteps coming nearby and you turn around to find him standing above you with his rifle aimed right at your noggin.

shotgun yeah, but sniper rifle where?

I just beat The Sorrow. That really messed up my head and made me feel so guilty.

SPOILERS You’re walking SPOILERS through a swamp SPOILERS and along SPOILERS come the SPOILERS ghosts of SPOILERS everybody you killed SPOILERS in the game up to that point, SPOILERS and I mean everybody. So if you killed 250 soldiers, every single one SPOILERS of them shows up, SPOILERS and each of SPOILERS them is sporting the wounds SPOILERS that you gave them. SPOILERS Since I had a habit SPOILERS of slitting throats, SPOILERS almost all the SPOILERS ghosts had half their heads SPOILERS missing and were SPOILERS screaming in pain. Jeez, that was creepy.

It took me about 20 hours as well.

Who was making the phone calls at the end? It was Ocelot.

SPOILERS Apparently SPOILERS he was the SPOILERS “ADAM” SPOILERS agent, since SPOILERS he was at the SPOILERS warehouse in the SPOILERS beginning and his real SPOILERS name was Adamska. SPOILERS I am also guessing he’s an SPOILERS Agent for the American SPOILERS branch of the Philosophers. SPOILERS

Now you know why Eva never knew the password when you first met her.

Now you know why The Boss kept letting you live.

Now you know why Big Boss became a rebel in the previous games.

SPOILERS It was really depressing SPOILERS that they pitted two close friends against each other SPOILERS and they were forced to fight to the death… over what? So SPOILERS that America could get their SPOILERS hands on a pile of money! SPOILERS

Also, throughout all of the games there’s a theme going on of soldiers being forced to kill their family and friends for the sake of politics. SPOILERS The Boss kills her lover, SPOILERS The Sorrow. SPOILERS Snake kills his mentor, The Boss, SPOILERS and becomes Big Boss. SPOILERS Solid Snake kills Big Boss SPOILERS not knowing that he was his father. SPOILERS Solid Snake kills Grey Fox. SPOILERS

So when The Boss tells you that your friends today might become your enemy in the future, it becomes clear by the end of the game what she was talking about.

SPOILERS I think when you face off SPOILERS against The Sorrow, SPOILERS he says something SPOILERS like “You will be killed by your sons” SPOILERS

EVA’s was mmm mmm good [in video game hehe] what could happen here is that she could have a kid!!! [for like metal gear 5 or something raspberry]

I just love this game, rightnow im in the process of getting all the camos’.
