I started a grounded playthrough, and am convinced it may take me 200 hours to finish. I'm so bad. I've played the same encounter where Dina has to save Ellie from the Seattlians like 70 times and I still can't beat it. And I'm not even at Hillcrest.... anywaaayyss I'll come back to this from time to time with the hope that one day I might wake up with the god given ability to be good at this game
The series is at its best when the stories they are telling are small scale, centered around a few people and their interpersonal relationships. This DLC is the best version of that
this game is really good and i think every suda fan should play it! the story is fantastic and the gameplay is great! since there is no official fan translation patch for the game, here are the resources i used in order to experience it.
- this game has zero tutorial, and if you dont know what you are doing its impossible. luckily here is a thread that tells you how to play: https://hg101.proboards.com/thread/977/control-fire-pro-sotenga
- there is this awesome translation thread by "shadowmaster" which i used to follow along with the story. most of the translation is solid, and to me i got a great sense on what the story was trying to say: https://criticalclub.com/thread/1657/super-wrestling-special-translation-project
enjoy!

One of the greatest games I've ever played, hands down.
Everything about this game was remarkable to me. This final outing for Solid Snake is expertly written, voice acted and directed, and although the game put a lot of emphasis on its cutscenes, the quality of those cutscenes made it all worth it to me. The emotional weight of MGS4, particularly its ending, was something that hit me hard. The jump in graphical quality between MGS3 and this is absurd; I couldn't believe a game from 2008 running on a PS3 could look this good (the tears on faces when characters were crying shook me to my core, how could they look like that??). The gameplay was refined to a T - I loved that you could take a more action-oriented approach, and the wider variety of weapons to use this time around was something I personally enjoyed a lot. I did have some technical issues on the used PS3 I played this on, but that's a minor gripe compared to everything that this game did exceptionally well.
This review feels scattered; I'm writing it right after finishing and I have so many thoughts swirling around my brain. I found this game to be so so good in so many ways. I know people have their issues with it, but it was such a unique and powerful gaming experience for me. I've grown very attached to these characters and this series over the last few months, and I know I have a few more games to play before I'm finished, but this was the pinnacle of the Solid Snake story for me. It's hard to believe this game exists, but I'm damn glad it does.

too reliant on previous games in the series for how short it is, but still great fanservice and a hell of a lot of fun
This is one of the most frustratingly written games I've ever played
Ichiban is one of the most likable protagonists of all time. the general pacing of the game gets a little weird after chapter 10 or so. the gameplay is much better than 7s. I'd personally say the story and substories are about on par. The mini games are slightly better in 7.
