Or I should say “Thoughts from watching Metal Gear Solid”, that could be a correct statement in 2009. I used cheat code to play, so I didn’t really play it.
If MGS was made by others, you supposed to solve puzzles, to kill enemies, and to have many creepy scenes. All of these are not the part of this game, or this film; the only thing we have to do is watching. It is just like films, it has riddles, but it’s more like knowing how to beat boss enemies down and you are not going to figure out yourself, you have a team back you up. You simply enjoy how the story goes. Also the twists, there are few in this game. You definitely would get shocked as characters do. But not everything being cleared, you may put some clues together after pondering in your brain. So far, I still have some left unsolved.
However, it’s a game, killing is unavoidable. More or less, you have to do it. Playing is the hardest part for me, I don’t want to play it but to watch it. I don’t like the way to play, so I used the code, that allowed me minimizing the effort of playing. I wish it had an option to just watch. If I don’t cheat, I think I would give up playing it. But I can’t, because this is my first assignment from Assignment Game, I must finish with a cheating way.
The handling methods of start and ending astound me, even this is a game 8 years ago. The cut scenes and codec transmissions play throughout the whole game, those make this game a film.
As for the story, I could say that it’s reasonable as a sci-fiction film or game, and the story actually is better than some real films. I don’t seem to spot any conflicts in the storyline. The later events perfectly explain what happened before when you look back, mostly. You wouldn’t know who’s who, who is a good guy or a bad guy, or who pulls the trigger while you are watching. If you were watching this film in theater, you can hear people lower their voices and say “That’s the one who …, must be!” Sometimes, even the film ends, you still know nothing. Yeap, there is always something left for the audiences to discuss. That’s how the films attract us, isn’t?
Will I watch MGS2? I would wait for 3 years and see if MGS2 can amaze me as if MGS1 does.
It’s a film, not just a game.
