Welcome to Day 1 of Han's opinions that will probably result in him being stoned at some point.
Today, I would like to discuss Metal Gear Solid 3. How did I arrive at such a conclusion, you might ask? Well, let me tell a little story...
Three years ago, I bought the MGS 3-pack from my local video game store that was dying out (sad face). I started with MGS for the Playstation. I popped it into my PS2, and played it almost non-stop. The game was brilliant. The gameplay was a bit odd at points, but there was only one part in the game where I was given a lot of trouble.
Enter MGS2. First part was fun. Second part was a new experience. Some of the charm of the first game, I felt, was lost. Also, the maps weren't as fun. I mean, yay, another walkway. Oh wait, this is the same walkway, I'm just crossing it for the fifteenth time. But I digress. The game was still fun, the story still engrossing. And the finale... no words need to be said! I actually remember restarting after getting the FISSION MAILED screen because I clicked the button...
Anyway, next, it was time to start MGS3. The past two games were great, and I played right through them.
So I play. I get past The Pain. Then I just get bored and quit.
MGS4 came out, and I wanted to play, but I figured I should beat MGS3 first.
I pick it up again. I think I got to the part where you can shoot The End or something. Which was like three maps past where I left off. Then I quit.
I try once more, get frustrated, then pick up MGS4. Beat it in a few days.
Should I try MGS3 again? Yeah, I believe so. Even though I'm a bit low on time to do so. But the fact remains that I could not get into it. The game just didn't stick to me.
And that is why Metal Gear Solid 3 is the worst in its series.
