a game with the highest highs and the weirdest lows

i'd rate it lower for the little annoyances this game has
like caricatured NPCs that are there as a way for kojima to talk shit about people he doesn't like.
the massive downright absurd, humongous padding to make this 20 hour game a 50 hour game.
the ending mission, if you know you know.
those NPCs who made me cross rivers and mountains for them only for them to be uneducated jerks who tell me to F off, sam is surprisingly calm because i would have told these pricks to F off themselves and let them to their devices, what point in need someone to do stuff for you only to treat them like shit ??

but,through the weird lows, comes the massive highs.
an amazing reactive gameplay where you have plenty of choices of how to tackle challenges.
an ever expanding arsenal of tools to help you complete your journey.
a very fun (and probably very expensive) cast of characters.

it was gonna be a 7 for the little gimmicky annoyances this game provides sometimes, but no game that manages to get me this emotional gets a 7 in my book, in fact, its one of my favorites from that year, the konami nerd did it again
