About Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty is the sequel to the espionage action game Metal Gear Solid. Much of the gameplay remains the same, as the game's protagonist has to sneak past guards, outsmart them using various gadgets and defeat the tricky boss enemies. The game expanded its predecessor's cover mechanic, with Solid Snake or Raiden able to take cover behind walls or objects and pop out to shoot at enemies, while the improved enemy AI allowed enemies to also take cover from the player. Metal Gear Solid 2 is considered to be one of the greatest video games of all time, as well as a leading example of artistic expression in video games.

80 hours into RE4 that same year, then this flipped everything I expected from the genre.

It gets less credit every year for what it actually attempted. I still vote for it every time anyway.

Lo jugué en casa de un primo que tenía todos los juegos de la saga. Recuerdo quedarme extrañado con el cambio de protagonista a mitad de partida, no lo esperaba para nada.

Le twist de mi-parcours m'a laissée complètement perdue la première fois, je m'en souviens comme si c'était hier. J'ai appelé un ami pour qu'il m'explique ce qui venait de se passer.

Compared to what came after with Uncharted, does anyone even remember games taking this kind of risk?

Bref, ce moment reste gravé mais sur le coup j'étais surtout frustré de ne plus contrôler Snake comme avant.
