The Stupid Gamer

I was doing things act by act, but I ended up finishing the last couple of acts in one night, the day after finishing Act 3. I might be covering a lot in this post, but rather than break it down on an event by event level, I’m mostly going to sum up my thoughts on the game as a whole, spoilers included. So, Metal Gear fans, let’s jump into my final thoughts on Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, right after the jump.

Today I had enough free time to play through the entire second act of Metal Gear Solid 4, and I was pretty happy that I didn’t have to stop and save the game midway through the act. The second act was longer, but definitely more satisfying. My thoughts continue, after the jump.

Sorry, loyal readers, but I’m going to do something that I think will be kind of fun for me. Hopefully this doesn’t scare too many of you off. I’m playing through Metal Gear Solid 4 on the PS3 right now, and rather than just dump my thoughts on a message board, I figured I’d share them here. Each title will specify at what point I am at in the game, so if you’re playing as well you can avoid spoilers that are beyond where you are at and you can come back and comment later. Also, I’ll put each post behind a jump, so you’ll have to click through to the entire story to read anything discussed.

If anybody out there is playing as well, feel free to comment on each post, but PLEASE keep it spoiler free beyond what I’ve talked about. I don’t want to be spoiled, and I don’t think any readers do either. So, here are my feelings so far on MGS4 through the completion of Act 1.
