Since I play games when I feel like playing them and when I find them on sale, instead of right when they come out like most people, I often arrive at the party very late. It took me a very long time to pick up and Metal Gear Solid, and it took me even longer to pick up Metal Gear Solid 2. I'd heard that the story was the weakest point, due to being convoluted and overcomplicated. And you know what?
I loved it.
Absolutely, head over heels, where-will-I-ever-find-anything-anywhere-near-this-great-again adored it.
Now, my problem.
What to play now?
The average mediocre story isn't gonna cut it anymore. I've played just about every RPG there's ever been several times over. Only current system I've got is a PS2, though I'm thinking about picking up a Cube since the recent pickings have been so slim. I need characters I can care about, sudden plot twists, and all that stuff that made me remember why I started loving games in the first place. Is there anywhere to find that these days?
