A year ago I got interested in playing through all of Metal Gear around the time MGR blew up. I started here. This video game franchise has ruined me for life.

Its easy to see why this is one of the most influential video games of all time because its still so fucking good. People may say its graphics are outdated, but I genuinely think this thing looks amazing more than 20 years later. Most of the boss fights are fun, despite the controls being clunky and holding them back. For example, the Metal Gear REX fight really suffers from the controls. It nearly made me lose my mind. The story is weird, campy, kind of stupid, yet made me genuinely emotional. I think this game is going to stick with me forever.
