The Limited Edition copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 I bought last week.
I caved in to common sense, buying a game I wasn't 100% interested in due to the insane amounts of positive reviews from the few remaining websites I respect and the friends I trust. Technically, Hideo Kojima hasn't let me down yet. There is just too much good praise for this game for me to skip it. I went all out (Limited Edition) because I liked the extras.
To me, Metal Gear Solid for the PSX was one of the best games on that system, bar none. MGS 2 was still fun even though Raiden was a douche.
Snake Eater interested me, but I could never get into it. Each time I played, I spent too much time listening to the characters speak on the Codec instead of going ahead with the mission. Then something else would come out and I'd play that instead.
Everyone I've talked to told me the game gets better after about an hour, so I've been playing it again($9.99 used at Gamestop). The camera(which I understand was improved in Subsistence) is annoying at times, but if you use everything at your disposal you can deal with it. It's very early in the game, but I like it so far and I'm sure it will indeed get better as everyone has been saying.
So yeah, MGS 4 is sitting there collecting dust. Well, technically not, because I do move it to get to other games in my collection. So the dust never truly settles on it.
I'll get to it when I finish Snake Eater. If HOME comes out before then, I'd be pretty happy.
Recently I finished Folklore. When I first tried the demo I couldn't get into it. I'm not sure what it was. I ended up getting a copy of the full game months later. After a slow beginning, the game really picks up and ends up being alot of fun.
Celtics won. I'm glad it turned out that way, not because I dislike a certain arrogant Laker and the way he treats his teammates, but because they were clearly the better team. A better team, with players who've been in the league for years and deserved a title to carry into retirement.
Ray Allen. Kevin Garnett. Paul Pierce. They've all paid their dues. Kevin and Ray and two of my favorites. I knew Paul was good, but he really carried this team as a leader should.
Boston's role players stepped it up quite alot. Sam Cassell wasn't much of a factor, but Rondo picked up the slack. Powe? No idea who he was until he tore through the Lakers' defenses for 21 points early in the series.
Even when the game was clearly over, the reserves were throwing alley-oops and stealing the ball. It was great. So great that it's inspired me to start practicing again. I'm serious. I'm ready to risk back spasms for the good of......mankind?......or whatever.
