after years of wait & wait, i finally finished my most wanted franchise that i have been dying to play ever since i bought a PS One ,i am talking about the MGS franchise ,i finished all the games in the MGS franchise including MGS 3 , MGS 1 , 2 & 4 . its spoiler free ,so feel free to read . i am quiet short on time , so let me make this quick & express my thoughts on the MGS series . in one word . SOLID , after Half life , Halo , GTA , Gears , Crysis , joins Metal Gear Solid in my gaming hall of fame .cant believei missed out this awesome franchise for so long . it was hard to go back & play on ps2 at first after playing some stunning games like Crysis & Killzone 2 , but hey graphics alone arent my cup of tea , gameplay matters to me the most with story . since we are short on time . i will discuss this some other time , got other awesome games to play as well . all i ll say is that Big Boss ,Solid Snake were just amazing in the series & for some reason i enjoyed the charachter of RAIDEN more than Solid Snake or even Big Boss , there are somethings & events in Raiden in MGS that reminded me of myself back when i was a teen , how tough those days were 4 me to live , fighting every day to just survive & eventually becoming something different i never thought of , things like that alone of Raiden in MGS just left a huge impact on me , making me the biggest Raiden fan ever . thanks to hideo kojima for creating such an awesome charachter like Raiden .with Raiden , it reminded me of myself , over the years , i ve been impressed with icons such as Master Chief , Gordon Freeman , Marcus Fenix & Niko Bellic .

I am not a tough guy in real life like marcus or the chief, its just that these charachters inspire you a lot & you feel like becoming them in some sort of way, but with Raiden , its like i am seeing myself here to what i was & what i ve become now ,during MGS 4, for the first time ever in a game ,my tears dropped onto the controller while playing it,sounds crazy , but mark my words ,if you dont have emotions in life ,MGS 4 will make sure you have some,still cant believe myself that i dropped some tears in a video game . RAIDEN was a total badass in MGS 4 ,hands down my favourite in the series . solid snake as well , but not that kind of impact like Raiden had , in short i am Raiden s biggest fan in this world, might even change my gamertag to some Raiden name in future. all i know is that The Metal Gear Solid series is 1 of the best in our industry , if you are about to retire from gaming, which i hope you guys never , however if you do , do yourself a favour to your gaming life ,Finish The MGS franchise before doing that , it is A Masterpiece, i dont know whether i ll be playing something s good as MGS 4 in future . thanks to hideo kojima , i got to play 1 of the best games ever made :wink:before i leave , here is a video from MGS 4 featuring Solid Snake & The Lightning itself known as RAIDEN .[video=6174329]
