reader, you do not know the pain i went through to play this game. my ps3 stopped working, i tried to repair it, bricked it. i bought another second hand one on fb marketplace, but to get it i had to walk for about 45 mins in the rain in the middle of the night to an area in my city where an infamous mass shooting took place. i picked it up, didnt get shot, excitedly listened to mgs2 soundtrack while i walked. i imagined i was a member of a secret anti-metal gear group on a clandestine virtuous mission of my own, to pick up a mysterious package which may contain knowledge of some new metal gear... the roadmen that passed me by were the faceless, nameless soldiers of whatever military organisation was the enemy of the day. i was ready to take them down, kill them if i had to. they are people too, i know this. but as soldiers we take the risk of death as an everyday hazard. we are all fighting for something, we all believe in something. i will remember them, once it is done. but i will not hesitate.
anyway i got the package back to base... i mean, my flat. bro sold me a broken ps3
at this point i was at my wits end, even my parents were invested in my quest to just fucking play this god damn game. they helped me out with some money to buy a refurbed ps3 and AT LAST! AT LONG LAST! A WORKING PLAYSTATION!!
i excitedly set it all up, put in another game to check that it worked... it did!!!!! THIS IS HAPPENING BABY
my friends trickled into the livestream, boy were we going to have the time of our lives watching the finale, the end to the story of solid snake and otacon. the moment we had all been waiting for..!

this game is pants. i wasted loads of time and money on it too so im gonna be more bitter about this fact, but it is a load of pants. the ONLY things i liked about it are below:
- guinea pigs
- liquid fist fight obviously went hard
- laughed a lot with my friends at all the awful shit things this game does

dont invest in nanobots
