I finally beat: Metal Gear Solid 4 – Guns of the Patriots
“Old Soldiers don’t die, they develop nanomachine virii, rapid aging disease, get shot, eletricuted, blown up, strangled, set on fire, and then…”
And then they do it again. Well, that’s what I’ll be doing once Metal Gear Solid 4 gets trophy support. Guns and equipment carry from New Game to New Game+. It’ll be quite fun unlocking the last few guns I didn’t find or buy the first time around, and using the late game weaponry in the early levels. There are more guns in MGS4, with more options, with greater firepower, than Army of Two. Or most any other game. And this is a game where the entire play-through, minus boss fights, can be beaten without killing a single person.
I beat this game awhile ago. It was the beginning of the long silence of gaming related posts on this blog. This was due to the fact that I beat the whole game in about a week when I got it. Each time I would sit down, I’d have to decide between writing about MGS4, or just playing it some more. Writing about it would have been a 10-15 minute break. A break I never took.
