Hi everyone. Feeling a bit conflicted. I've played MGS1-4 and loved them. I've beaten the first 2 multiple times.

I'm trying to play ground zeroes and my god it's so hard. I got Rank E. I googled how bad that was, and the result was a reddit search of "has anyone ever gotten E?" like I'm THAT bad at this.

I'm older now. I'm 37. Life is hard, I no longer enjoy games with difficult puzzles (f you, Zelda BOTW). I love a linear game, but if I'm basically failing the tutorial, I'm wondering if I'll just end up frustrating myself.

That being said, I just beat FF16, and last year I beat FF7 remake. I love single player RPG games. But I just think there are so many variables in this game that I don't think I can overcome it lol.

Just feeling a bit old and sad and could use some encouragement. :)
