Metal Gear Solid 3

[arwingyoshi]

Well, for the second time in less than a year, I replayed Metal Gear Solid 3, and just beat it again tonight.

I love that game (along with all the other MGS games), but the ending is just so sad. I think it's the only video game I've ever played that actually made me cry (although, if I had played FFVII back before Arieth's death scene was well-known, I'm sure it would have made me cry too). Now that's the sign of a great story, if it can make you feel in such a way. Metal Gear Solid proves that video games can have deep, meaningful stories and drama, and not just be another mindless form of entertainment (although games with simple stories, like Mario and such, are usually fun too, as long as the gameplay is fun and more than makes up for it). It'll probably be a long time before I'll be able to play that game again, just like the first time I beat the game.
