i love this game's story and how it caps off the metal gear series chronologically but it kind of sucks. like most of the actual game parts are kind of trash. the boss fights are so repetitive and I find myself trying to just get through some of those parts to see more of the story. what really interests me with the gameplay is the unique weapons this game has with almost ratchet and clank-esque equipment and weapons for the player to unlock like the mantis dolls and the tranq darts that change enemy behavior. the thing is if you read about what they wanted to do with this game it will make you mad it was a very ambitious project that was meant to have much deeper gameplay and an (arguably) even better story. regardless of those things i have a pea brain and i love the fan service stuff and the returning characters and then metal gear goofiness at its peak in this game.
