in the past


Como disse um amigo, o arco geral da crítica nos últimos 20 anos pode ser descrito da seguinte forma: de "podiam ter feito banda de rock em vez de escrever crítica" (era Assayas-Van Sant) até chegar em "podiam ter feito terapia em vez de continuar nesse meio" (era Aftersun-Hansen-Løve).

Some of the VR missions were miserable, but satisfying to pass in the end. Game was amazing too amd had loads of replayability

Perhaps the best narrative ever spun on the PS2; Metal Gear Solid 2 works as both a celebration of, and a cautionary tale of the information age we are currently living in.
Going in, I had an idea about what the game was going for, but to my surprise, it wasn't as cynical as I'd feared.
No, this game is as hopeful as it is critical of our behavior as human beings.

I'm unsure I have the ability to properly put into words what this game means to me without sitting here for more than a couple of hours just thinking about what to say.

It's a good game, and you should play it.

Não há palavras para descrever o quão maravilhosa é a escrita de Hideo Kojima nos jogos desta franquia. O enredo parece simples pela sinopse, mas ao longo do jogo você se aprofunda na complexidade da história, juntamente com a jogabilidade muito boa que, para muitos, é confusa no início, principalmente se você estiver vindo do MGS do PlayStation 1 para cá. No controle, você pega o jeito facilmente, mas se estiver jogando no teclado, é só encontrar uma boa configuração de teclas e ir devagarinho que você pega o esquema. Os gráficos, obviamente, deram um upgrade em relação aos do PlayStation e que upgrade! Gráficos muito bonitos, design dos personagens também está muito bem feito, os cenários, iluminação, design dos itens, das armas, etc... Resumindo, uma obra-prima subestimada que deve ser jogada e rejogada por todos.

This is the best game i have ever played. Genuinely everything about this game is incredible. I'm not going to say much about why I love this game, but it has to do with the fantastic plot, and how much attention to detail this game has. (If you haven't, you GOTTA play Metal Gear Solid 2 PLEASE)

The main differences between this version of the game and the original is the addition of a ton of side content. 500+ vr missions, a new difficulty, and skateboarding, just to name a few!

A story that is an ode to the beauty of the information age and the democratization of knowledge sharing that came with it, but also a forewarning of the profound artifice that would come along with the digital age.

Even that is an extreme simplification of this game though, because this game still has so much more to say. About individualism, the nature of a person's legacy, about regret and the repetition of history. The story bursts from the textual to the meta-textual in such a mind-bending and thought-provoking fashion that it gives whiplash. The good kind.

I'm not the greatest story analyst but even i feel like I could go on and on until this becomes an essay. I haven't even mentioned the flawless stealth gameplay that is simultaneously pristine and daring. Basically, I'm just trying to say that the game is good.
