HOLY SHIT!

Hideo Kojima, you glorious bastard!

I completed the main story line yesterday, and now working on Chapter 5, which is supposed to represent Outer Haven's rise to power. But I have to say, I'm quite impressed.

While the core story itself isn't too strong (METAL GEAR! NUKES! GAAAAAH!), I felt like everything involving Jack and Boss to be quite touching. Even more so with that ending..

There are PLENTY of story missions, side-missions, bosses, etc.. to keep you busy for hours.

I also can't shake a Monster Hunter vibe from this game, which is ironic cause of the Monster Hunter missions... but seriously, how you obtain vechiles and get extra parts for your Metal Gear feel like I'm playing Monster Hunter. With guns and rocket launchers. Also, with some of the harder bosses down the line, I can't help but feel like multiplayer is needed. Not that I'm complaining, I'm having a blast with my friends.

I had a long-term goal of raising enough money to buy myself a PSP and the game. But I failed my dedication because of the games releasing along the way.

Just beat it myself. Man the boss battles in that game are retarded hard when you play solo. One of the side missions involving an attack helicopter took me 17 mins to beat. Peace Walker it's self must have taken at least 30 mins. I didn't fail, but shit is way to powerful. Still very thrilling none the less, i need to rest my left hand after 2 straight days of playing. As for the story, it's acceptable. I just don't like how Kojima takes a shit on Big Boss's character with every new entry. Turning him into a misunderstood anti hero from his evil, bat shit insane, war hungry mind set that he had in MG2: Solid Snake using good ol' retroactive continuity. Also, the story was really silly in some spots. Overall it's a good game, but flawed. (At least this game didn't piss me off like MGS4 did.) If you have a PSP, buy this game. It's the best PSP game to date. (assuming that the PSP has good games to begin with. :P)

This is the reason why a month ago I bought a PSP off my friend who had no use for it. I am really excited about it, considering that I am playing through MGS1 right now, good to hear that it has lived up to the hype!

THIS!

God damn, to progress the story somewhat, I have to fight all the different variations of 'Attack Choppers', 'Tanks', and enhanced forms of the AI weapons all over again. And this is where I think the game was intended to be played with three other people.

Well, since I'm a big Monster Hunter player, Kojima blessed us with using the 'Hunter' type controls. Which are the same as MH's. So I've grown used to them. Don't know about the other control schemes though.

Oh come on, Peace Walker wasn't THAT bad, but yeah, it took a bit of a while.

And the PSP has plenty of good games, or at least enjoyable ones. I think so anyway.

Disagree with you on so much levels. Big Boss is so less interesting and more generic now. I would've preferred if the game more focused on his transition from being a "hero" to the "villain" we see in the MGs.

Well, that does happen in MGS: Peace Walker...

...Just at the very end of the game..

How many levels? = P

I actually agree with you in that respect, the transition not being the main focus. Less interesting part, *shrug*. More generic, nope.

Yet (call it total fanboyism on my part, it's cool) I really did not mind it at all. I'm too much of a fan of the whole story to truly hate something. Everything just boded well with me and I liked it.

You can beat the main story all by yourself with no help necessary. You'll die for sure, but it can be done. For some of the side-missions, unless you're ridiculously good in the game, then you definitely need other people playing with you.
