MGS4 Reaction
Yesterday my brother bought Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, and we spent the entire day playing through it. (Well, he played and I watched.) Playing through in one sitting = 16 hours. We had a case of Mountain Dew to keep us going until 4:00 AM, when he finally finished it. Totally worth it. I was exhausted and my legs were stiff from sitting for hours at a time, but the game was so awesome I didn't care.
Since this is the end of a legendary series, it's only right that I express my reaction to it through netspeak and excessive fangirling.
HOLY SHIT MGS4 IS EPIC. HOLY JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE. ALSMDVIEJRKEJFKLDJFDKLSFJSDKLFJASDLK;F *flails*
SNAKE AND OTACON ARE SO MARRIED. THIS GAME JUST CONFIRMS IT. ♥
OMG AWESOME RAIDEN IS AWESOME. TRUFAX. I MUST MARRY HIM NOW. (It always irritates me when people bitch about him in MGS2. I was one of the only people who actually liked him.)
JOHNNY SASAKI. DEAR JESUS I LOVE HIM. HE IS FUCKING AMAZING, BITCHES. XDDDDDDDDDDD
Who would have thought that Johnny of all people would be involved in a serious storyline and have it totally work? It was glorious. ^_____^
HOLY MOTHER OF CHRIST THE PATRIOTS. WTF. WTF. O____O
OCELOT. OCELOT. HOLY MOTHERFUCKING CHRIST OCELOT. SFKSDJFSDKFJSDIMASVIJDFKDJFDKS *headdesk*
MY MIND HAS BEEN BLOWN IN SO MANY WAYS. I HAD NO EXPECTATIONS PLOT-WISE BUT WAS STILL SHOCKED BEYOND BELIEF. EVERYTHING IS EXPLAINED AND IT WAS AMAZING OMFG. *dies*
I am never going to look at MGS3 the same way ever again. Holy. Fucking. Crap.
Someone on my flist needs to obtain the game so I can have someone to flail over it with. (My brother just left on a three week choir tour of Minnesota, so he's out. I am sad.) Or if you're like me and you're too lazy to play through it, I will gleefully spoil major plot points for you.
1. Which unexpected (but totally plausible) pairings happen in-game?
BONUS #1: Which unexpected (and completely incomprehensible) pairing happens?
2. Who were the founders of the Patriots? (I've never played Portable Ops, nor am I familiar with the storyline. There's a clue as to who founded the Patriots in it, but as I had no idea I was blindsided. It was awesome.)
3. Which "good" characters turned out to be villains (for lack of a better word) and which character we all previously thought was a total bastard turned out to basically be one of the good guys?
4. How in the fuck was Liquid able to possess Ocelot?
5. Which characters that we never in a million years thought would make another appearance do just that? You'll never guess. Seriously. I nearly hit the ceiling.
6. Guess which character gets an unexpected but totally deserved happy ending. I was smiling so hard. :D
7. What happens to Snake at the end of the game? SLDMVDJFKDJFDJS
8. The surrogate mother of Liquid and Solid is revealed!
9. Big Boss' rotting corpse: Where is it?
BONUS #2: We actually get to see the thing (or what remains of it). What shocking fact is revealed about it later?
10. Who unexpectedly dies in the very last cutscene of the game?
BONUS #3: Who unexpectedly dies during the game?
BONUS #4: Who dies during the game, period?
11. Once again, Snake has to fight a psychologically unbalanced group of WTF villains. Who is the unexpected mastermind behind them? (Also one of the answers to #5.)
12. The identity of the infamous Dr. Clark (who turned Gray Fox into the Cyborg Ninja) is revealed. Who is he/she? FYI: This was the first of many twists that made me gasp out loud.
13. How did Vamp survive a shot to the head in MGS2?
14. Guess where Act 4 takes place. It's a location of much joy!It actually isn't.
15. What sounds like the summary for a crack fic but actually happens in-game?
16. Whatever happened to Olga's baby and Raiden's unborn child?
17. Who suffers the least violent death in MG history?
18. Who are the Patriots now?
Pick a number, and I will blow your mind. To be fair, I viewed most of the game in the wee hours of the morning while only being awake because of caffiene. And my brother unfortunately took the strategy guide with him to read on his trip, so I'm unable to look up a few specifics concerning the plot. (I'm talking about the intricately detailed information concerning the Patriots' modern goals and other stuff like that. My exhausted brain was only latching on to major plot points by then.) Specific questions will be reinforced in July when I can steal the strategy guide. :D
