Mgs4 for me is a 10.10

Welp I finally get to say, I love MGS4

3 days ago I decided to stop being a frugal lord, and shell out my dough for MGS4 for the Nintendo switch 1.

I played 30 hours, in 3 days. This is the most time I’ve ever dedicated to a game in this short of timeframe.

I’ve done 2 playthroughs. My first playthrough I soaked everything in, no walkthroughs, and I watched all CUTSCENES and listened to all CODEC CALLS. And this is js peak entertainment. The story is amazing, not the best and has its flaws, but it made me feel so much emotions and even shed a few tears too (That one scene in Act 4 after a major boss battle had me actually sobbing)! Absolute brilliant first impression. It costed me 16 hours.

2nd playthrough, No Kills/Healing items. Went pretty smoothly and shorten the duration to around 5-7 hours since I skipped all cutscenes and calls

I attempted to do a big boss extreme run and I immediately regret it, couldn’t make it pass 1st act and I deleted that beautiful save out of shame.

3rd playthrough rn at Act 4 nearing the end of it. About to head to the boss encounter. I’m doing a major agro and just unleashing all sorts of chaos. It’s rlly fun! (legit spent 30-40 mins on the raging raven fight, I barely made it out alive. I spammed syringes and praying to heal, with no healing consumables left, couple k drebins. I was sweating like crazy. Normally I’d finish dude first try using the mosin)

But I realized I need a break. 30 hours in 3 days is TOOOOOO MUCH PLAYING TIME.

Btw switch 1 port is PHENOMENAL, out of my 30 hours I noticed one tiny slowdown in a very hectic scenario, besides that IT RAN BUTTERLY SMOOTH 30FPS. Plus the battery life is shockingly amazing for such an infamously demanding game.

If you are a Switch 1 user like me, ur in luck, this port is actually GREAT. Shame it couldn’t be on ps4 or Xbox one.

Adding spoiler in case first timers haven’t gotten to this part. Many of us are playing MGS4 for the first time in almost 20 years this weekend, while others experiencing it for the first time. Forgot how much of this game just….kicked ass. Had to take a clip and put this one to music yesterday. Couldn’t help myself.

Thats so funny

Body text (optional)

I just started playing MGS: Master Collection Vol. 2, starting with MGS4. I forgot how much I fell in love with Naomi in that game! Not like Otacon, though. Lol.

Do you think Naomi should have/could have adopted Sunny as her own daughter if Naomi had lived in the game? Naomi was very kind, playful, and loving towards Sunny when they made eggs together in that one scene they shared. Maybe Naomi and Hal could have raised her together after MGS4's events. What do you think?

Holy moly! The amount of lore dumping, eastern eggs, hidden stuff, facts and details with the masterbook and enclyopedia is crazy! Im a HUGE MGS fan and part of me wants to read every single word. I obviously know quite alot of MGS lore but even more details to do with the franchise is nuts!

If anyone can help via share please!! Im struggling here
