00:00:05of Metal Gear Solid 3 my favorite video
00:00:07game without a doubt of all time was
00:00:10metal gear solid to the sons of liberty
00:00:12now Metal Gear Solid 2 took place two
00:00:14years after the exploits of metal gear
00:00:16solid one and it introduced to an older
00:00:19slugging more weathered snake now snake
00:00:22finds himself on a tanker chasing after
00:00:24metal gears as he usually is and from
00:00:26there the game just explodes this game
00:00:30really had one of the best stories I
00:00:34ever remember experiencing not only just
00:00:36in a game in any form of media I really
00:00:40found myself not only caring for the
00:00:42characters in this game but sincerely
00:00:44and really sitting on the edge of my
00:00:47seat during action sequences ordering
00:00:50even the story sequences now i must say
00:00:53that Metal Gear Solid 2 did receive a
00:00:54lot of flak for two reasons one people
00:00:57complain that the cinema scenes were
00:00:58just way too lengthy and that if they
00:01:00wanted to see a movie they would do to
00:01:02the theater I beg to differ however but
00:01:04I must say I’d remember some cases where
00:01:06I’d be watching a 15-minute story
00:01:09sequence and then oh get down you know
00:01:11some gameplay and I would run down a
00:01:13hallway play for about 10 seconds go
00:01:15open a door and then sit through another
00:01:1720 minutes of story now if you’re into
00:01:20the story however and by this point if
00:01:22you play through the first metal gear
00:01:23which is an absolute must if you plan on
00:01:26playing metal gear solid 2 you’re so
00:01:29enthralled in the story anyway so it
00:01:30really doesn’t matter it’s actually
00:01:31treat to sit there and really find out
00:01:34more about the characters and see the
00:01:35whole plot line evolved but that is one
00:01:37of the criticisms that received another
00:01:39criticism that Metal Gear Solid 2
00:01:40received was people said that the story
00:01:42got a little bit a little incoherent at
00:01:45times where some of the characters you
00:01:47know
00:01:47found themselves fused with other
00:01:49characters will remain nameless for now
00:01:51and the story just went off on these
00:01:53sort of crazy tangents now yes it did
00:01:55but that really i believe is consistent
00:01:57with that sort of quirky Hideo Kojima
00:01:59style often his games do you have sort
00:02:01of off sort of story lines but at the
00:02:03end of the day it’s really about telling
00:02:05a solid story with a good narrative
00:02:07throughout so as long as you do that I
00:02:09think it’s okay to sprinkle a little bit
00:02:11of candy here and there which is sort of
00:02:12what I think about that now Metal Gear
00:02:15Solid 2 I must say received flak for
00:02:18another reason and that was here’s a
00:02:20spoiler for anybody who hasn’t played it
00:02:22that you spend most of the game I’d say
00:02:25about ninety percent of the game not
00:02:27playing a solid snake now what this game
00:02:30did is it introduced a new character who
00:02:31was named ride in and ride into his
00:02:34often criticized for being this squealy
00:02:36sort of you know asexual character and
00:02:40you know had long blond hair and sort of
00:02:43had a high-pitched voice and and you
00:02:46spent the first bit of the game playing
00:02:47with ride and thinking you’re actually
00:02:49playing a snake and then sort of making
00:02:50the discovery that it wasn’t snake now I
00:02:53personally didn’t mind playing with
00:02:55ridin I did find that he wasn’t his
00:02:56coolest snake but at the end of the day
00:02:58the gameplay and the story was so
00:03:01incredible that it really doesn’t matter
00:03:03who you play with as long as you’re
00:03:05enthralled in the experience mental your
00:03:07solitude for anybody who has not played
00:03:09it I believe that if you really are a
00:03:11gamer and if you’re really into sort of
00:03:13action games and if you like stories
00:03:15basically if you like games it is an
00:03:17absolute must play there is no if and or
00:03:22buts about it
