It blends authentic historical atmosphere with a band of anime villains, purporting, for instance, that real-life Soviet Leader Nikita Krushchev is engaged in a behind-the-scenes political struggle with a man who can shoot lightning out of his hands. It includes time-consuming running jokes. It takes itself very seriously a lot of the time but pokes fun at itself on the margins (there is a codec conversation here that mocks the entire notion of a "Metal Gear" for example). almost as if that sort of complementary design would impinge on the player's responsibility to experiment. Its scenarios and spatial configurations do not fully dovetail with its grab-bag of weapons and gadgets. It "lets you do" a wide range of things that "make sense" but fall outside of conventional videogame logic. It explains things that don't matter and doesn't explain things that do. On the one hand, Snake Eater is indelibly a "Metal Gear" title. Probably the the weirdest game to ever be discussed as an all-time great, as it was for a few years after release (in fairness, it is easily a Top 5 aesthetic and technical achievement on the PlayStation 2). If there's one thing that really discourages me from a second playthrough to more fully explore MGS3, it's the ludicrous and exhausting 45 minute sequence with Volgin and the Shagohod.įinal Stats: 62 saves, 46 continues, 58 alerts, 224 kills (lol), 134 injuries, 38 life bars of total damage (received?), 5 life medicines used, 29 plants and animals captured, 65 meals eaten, special item (?) not used.Ĭommentary: A strange and compelling game, groundbreaking at times and alienating at others. I also defeated The Fury wearing all-black Camo wielding only a combat knife, which felt pretty great. As for The End, let's just say I exploited his natural vulnerability (couldn't resist after reading about it years ago). I also "beat" The Sorrow properly, though it took a while. I did not try for a pacifist run and in fact the only boss I defeated with non-lethal weapons was Volgin, which unlocked the Cold War camo.
