Massive Game Progress

crankyoldmanI decided that I was gonna finish at least one game this weekend. I did! And I'm getting really close (well in RPG terms... it could be another 8 hours) in the other one.
Spoilers all over this.
So let me go on record and say that boss fight was stupidly hard, and I have been working on it on and off all week. All week. WHAT IS THIS. AND TWO PARTS? Fuck you Liquid. I don't care if you get interesting later, you're an asshole and I hated your boss fight a lot. DIE A BAJILLION TIMES. Since there is no actual levelling in that game and bah. I came to appreciate the sneaking, but the boss fights were kind of ridiculous for the most part. MGS2, you better have fixed this.
Final gameplay time: 27 hours. Yeah, I'm really good at this, clearly.
PLOT THOUGHTS. omg Fox. omg. I would say that the stupidly hard boss fight was worth that, but I really cannot express how much I hated that gameplay. But it was a really emotional sequence and omg Naomi and yeah. Well done on that. REALLY fucking well done there. And all the stuff about FoxDie. Just. All the things.
However...
What the hell was that ending sequence. Voiceover Naomi? Sappy romance ending? Um, was this from the same game?
Don't get me wrong. I REALLY ADORE MERYL. A lot! She was totes adorbs and I even liked the slightly cliched "rookie trying to prove herself" type of attitude because it was done lovingly. I missed her while she was being all captured and stuff.
However, that girl at the end... I dunno, it just seemed like they had replaced her with a femmebot? Same with Snake a bit actually. It was so pastede on yay. Like they had to satisfy some fanboys with OH AND HE GETS THE GIRL THE END.
I was mostly confused, and a little annoyed because the emotional payoffs I was looking for didn't happen. And it's not like I don't want Snake or Meryl to be happy! I actually really do. I just don't think that was their kind of happy ending? Yes war is hell and nukes are bad, but Meryl really wanted to be a soldier. So let her be one! And Snake wants to stop being a tool and other more complicated things. He can do that in a great number of other ways!
So, in conclusion, I clearly need to play the other games in this series, if only to get over that ending. XD
I also have all the fanfic ideas. We'll see what pops up.
Despite my bitching, I liked the game. Really!
....omg Teepo.

Also, I really want to make Naomi/Meryl happen. Um.(no subject)
Date: 2011-12-18 07:24 pm (UTC)afaik I am the only person to have written Naomi/Meryl and it was on the kink meme, um.(leans a little tiny bit on MGS2 and MGS4 but not in a spoilery way).(no subject)
Date: 2011-12-18 07:38 pm (UTC)And my definition of "prettyboy" has always been skewed. XD Like, as far as pure visual attractiveness goes, Ocelot wins that award for me. Especially after he loses his hand.
Yessss, femmeslash in the kinkmeme.... I love all queerness. <3
