I hate having to ask. I suppose, I am not. I am however hoping that someone would be kind enough to allow me to play Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain. I’ve played pretty much the entire series and, to this day, it remains my favorite series. I took Solid Snake from the snowy fields of Shadow Moses to fight his twin brother on the metal gear (!) to taking Raiden, a surprise character, to fight off Solidus on the Big Shell whilst watching Solid Snake help me from afar and from close but never really controlling him. Later on, I visited the story of Big Boss and the sorrow he felt having to leave behind the country that he once swore to protect. After all, Naked Snake had to become the Big Boss someday.

I remember the day they released the trailer for The Phantom Pain and someone had just edited the image to show the Metal Gear logo in the background. I nearly, or perhaps I did, shat myself. I was thrilled. I was happy. I was going to see Big Boss again. I was going to experience the genius of Hideo Kojima once more. Nothing, at the time, mattered more to me. I think I must have watched the trailer 90 times trying to figure out every single little detail I could. Who was this man with a missing arm? Why is his arm missing? Who is helping him? Why is he helping him? Is that Snake? Is that Big Boss? Is it even really Metal Gear!?

Finally, it was confirmed. This is indeed Metal Gear… and I want to experience it. I say “experience” because nothing ever came close to having the same type of effect on me. Metal Gear is just… unique.

But how is that I am not buying it myself? Unfortunately, I am currently in between jobs. I am hoping to find something as soon as possible but I know that GamesPlanet has it currently for $22 USD with the Ground Zeroes portion for free! I would hate myself for missing out on this amazing game and the ratings are just so good. I have been playing a lot of PS4 with Overwatch but I don't want my PC to collect dust. Perhaps it's time for me to kick it on for Metal Gear! (!) Snake? Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKEEEEE!!!
