La Li Lu Le Lo - I know what you did last night


Eyeweiss watches Metal Gear Solid 3.

After approximately 15 minutes of running through the forest and 3 hours of watching the story unravel, fold, get tossed away and restart at a different point, it has become apparent that Hideo Kojima, once renowned daredevil of off-the-track game play, has finally completed his transformation and become a fully fledged B-movie director. We wish him the best of luck in is future endeavors, but won't find time to accompany him anymore. Other pressing matters, such as actually playing our games have become of interest.
We also made a mental note to heed the advise from fellow brothers-in-pain concerning all that is post-Metal Gear Solid:

If you want to know what the game is like but you don’t want to buy it, here’s what you do. Go out into your backyard and lay down in the grass for fifteen hours. Every twenty minutes have a friend come out and step on your balls. That will give you a pretty good idea of what MGS 3 is like.



from the old news in november 2004

For now, all that remains is the truth about sneaking through the forest:
1. Forget about subtlety, run as fast as you can. Bullets can't catch you.
2. Knock out multiple opponents using your somersault only. Save your bullets for the bosses.
3. Boxes don't work well in Forests. They only work in Ueno Park:



Seriously, folks: MGS 3 is entertaining at various points. It does not, however, reward you for playing logical or tactical. The more you try, the more you will suffer. Just pretend it's an action game, and it might work.
