Oh my god, that ending... MPO is still a better game, but the ending to MGA
2 makes me feel mushy and happy and yay. :D SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS GAME.
( Here there be dragons. And by dragons, I mean spoilers for the credits and post-credit cutscene. ) /spoilers
Thirdly: I actually like the plot of this one a lot better than I did MGA's. I liked this one better than MGA all around, though, so I'm not too surprised; the interface was a lot friendlier, and while the game-proper feels shorter, there's enough extras to more than make up for it (the arena, and the Solid Eye stuff-- though I don't have a Solid eye thingy, the movies are still fun to watch; MGS3 movies in Japanese sound STRANGE, in a cool way. I'm also not objecting to the other type of videos. XD;; ); I don't feel particularly deprived by having a slightly shorter game. (If it actually WAS shorter, that is; it may just be that it feels that way because MGA could get so tedious.) The utter lack of a half-hour infodump after I'd supposedly finished the game didn't hurt; instead, the exposition was spread through the last four or so levels, and made a decent amount of sense.
And finally, I still don't get Dr. What's-her-face's outfit. XD What the hell, lady, that's what you wear to work every day?
Anyway. Good game is good. I'd play MGA
3 if they ever made on, if the quality stayed up here. AND IF IT HAD DALTON
why is he so suddenly awesome >:.
