!Yo the president wants to see you. Oh BTW the president is your mother. Oh and she’s dying. Oh and once she dies you have to take her body to this spot so that everyone doesn’t die. Tomorrow? No right fucking now. !<
I couldn’t get into it, and I’ve beaten every MGS, so I know how weird stuff can get. I’ll have to give it another shot one day, but it was not clicking with me.
Nah, that’s not the insane rush, that’s actually a really chill first mission to help you get into the swing of them
The opening where you run down a big hill and then a cutscene where a bunch of shadow creatures attack and kill some guys really horribly and then a big explosion goes off and kills your character but the baby in his throat stops sucking it’s thumb so he can be reborn
“Get the presidents body the fuck out of here” makes perfect sense and looks tame as shit after THAT
I can imagine there’s some crazy shit in the game, being from Kojima, but it’s one of those games where I’ll have to come back to it in a better state of mind. Maybe I was too baked to enjoy it at the time.
Oh it’s for sure a trip, I fucking loved MGS but I have yet to actually finish DS, despite reading up on the lore and loving that I figured out some of the big twists before episode 3 by sheer Kojima pattern recognition
Its a dense game that’s surprisingly taxing on your brain as you move around, then it slaps you with deeply metaphorical bullshit while your burnt out to confuse you extra
It really was a slow burn. I had to progress through 4 or 5 story missions before it really clicked for me. Probably around the time I got >!the first exoskeleton!<. The story starts to do its kojima thing and sucking you in with weird questions, and the gameplay finally starts to feel like you’re making a decision instead of just on rails.
I don’t know about chill. The first 5 minutes:

Good game, good game.
