So, I recently have been hearing about metal gear from that invisible song trend, No it's not my first time hearing about metal gear, I have always seen solid snake, raiden, jetstream sam and armstrong in memes as well as OSTs WAY BACK IN 2016 (First access to the english speaking world) and I have not paid much interest in it other than music until now. I am a baby gamer and I was used to the combat in gacha games like genshin, honkai impact 3rd and even Wuthering waves and I never realized how much I felt glazed in them to realize i'm TRASH at actual action hack and slash games, not a single pretty girl or spamming right click for dodge (thats just me mentioning WUWA dodging) is going to help me beat blade wolf so I chose my fate and played easy mode to get used to the controllers and perhaps... learn to parry maybe? I've been too much of a perfectionist in my EASY run, I've forced myself to try a no hit run or a S rank combat but it's stupid, why should I try something that probably won't matter but waste time? I did it anyways because I wanted to (stupid decision)

I will talk about boss fights.

Blade wolf: bastard and a ugly one at that, ever since I saw the before and after I was shocked because I didn't notice.

Mistral: Genuinely fun, kind of painful though.

Monsoon: SO MUCH FUN OH MY GOD, PARRYING AGAINST HIM IS ALSO SO MUCH FUN, GOOD SONG.

Sundowner: Same as blade wolf, he looks like my classmate which is even worse.

Sam: Genuinely heartbreaking he's dead, I know i shouldn't like villains but God, I love him so much it just breaks me.

armstrong: Bastard, it was only fun at the end.

Thoughts about raiden: I've gotten to know him a bit from last games and honestly seeing him rebuild his life despite the issues being a cyborg and his life as a child soldier makes me proud and melancholic at least... seeing him embrace his past feels weird due to how depressing raiden was in MGS2 and MGS4 it makes my heart drop. I saw a reflection of myself in his story despite we almost have nothing in common.

My thoughts: Good time, Short story and a hook to a sequel that leaves us in a cliffhanger, I hope platinum and Konami recognizes the sudden popularity of metal gear rising and attempts to capitalize on it again instead of leaving it in the shadows unmentioned because it didnt go the way platinum initially wanted. i won't care where it takes place past future or present in his timeline, I want to play him again and see him 4k. if nothings heard... I'll just write my own sequel and see where it could lead me, not uploading though... I would be ashamed to write something so imperfect.

Thanks for tuning in.
