The MGS games were ones I had tried multiple times. The controls always seemed "clunky" to me, and I never really got past the first 30 minutes of the game I tried. Like before, I really did not care for this game when I first started it, but something was different this time...

I began to really like it. I thought the controls sucked, but it turns out maybe I just sucked. At one point, the only reason I was playing the game for was the story. Which, even then, sometimes has its issues, mainly with the women characters. Please learn how to write women. It hurts watching some of the scenes.

I don't think it's perfect, I'm playing MGS2 as of writing this, (it's taken me so long to post this I've beaten it now), and it feels way more comfortable to control. But it's up there... this game is really good. Some of the bosses aren't super fun, such as the final boss. Maybe the only unfun part of the game that I can remember. The only other moments I didn't enjoy were, as I mentioned before, the beginning since I didn't fully get the controls.

Aaaand that's it... there's probably nothing else that I can say since everything has been said before. I mean, everything I said in this review has definitely been said before. I found myself having more fun than expected, and now I finally understand why tons of people love this game.

"Please learn how to write women. It hurts watching some of the scenes."

Lmao. Hideo Kojima may be a master of creating interesting universes for games. But you're right. The women in his games are generally terribly written and hypersexualized caricatures of human beings.
