Good evening steemers!
Today I would like to remember those old times, times when you only wanted to finish school, run to home and drop your backpack full of heavy books and just turn on the TV, while your video game console was waiting for you with a CD of the video game you were trying to finish.
On this occasion, this game is one of those that Me and my childhood friends are very fond of, its name its Metal Gear Solid designed by Hideo Kojima and developed by Konami for PlayStation 1, this game not only brought laughter, anger and competition but also It stimulated your mind to think about how to solve the difficulties that the main character was presenting.
For those who never played Metal Gear Solid, the story revolves around Solid Snake, An elite soldier expert in espionage tactics that infiltrates a base of the terrorist organization called Foxhound that threatens a nuclear attack, while he was there Solid Snake has to Free the hostages, deal with genetically altered soldiers and some other characters who are insane.
The game usually takes place in Alaska where Solid has to infiltrate, search and destroy their targets preferably without getting detected, if any of the soldiers gets in range of the radar they will enter a warning mode and will beging looking for the intruder (in this case, Solid Snake) in order to eliminate him, you as a player has to find a way to not be detected, from crawling on the floor and passing under rubble, even getting inside a cardboard box and stand quiet until the warning mode of enemy soldiers passed.
As for the crazy people that I mentioned before, these are the characters that we can call "bosses" of the game and my favorite, which I will always have in my memories will be Psycho Mantis given his story is so well created and his peculiar way to be played.
Psycho Mantis was a KGB Agent who possessed psychic abilities, he was born in a small town in the Soviet Union during the Cold War, his mother died giving birth to him, which caused his father to have a terrible grudge against him from an early age , one day he discovered his psychic powers, and read the mind of his father where he discovered his feelings of hatred towards the little Mantis, the little boy afraid of being killed by his father, burned his village and fled through the smoke.
Growing up he was interned in a laboratory in Moscow where he learned to control his powers and to use a gas mask to prevent the emotions and thoughts of others from entering his mind without permission.
In one of the multiple jobs he had as an agent, one of these implied submerging himself in the mind of a serial killer to see where he hid the body of his victims and thus be able to incriminate him, he immersed himself so much in the murderer's mind that he himself began to carry out murders (Poor Little Mantis).
The game's way to defeat this character was for me the best I have seen, it was a work of art, since you were in a room with him while he had a hostage under his psychic powers shooting you right and left, in turn he used his psychic powers to "Change the TV channel" while guessing all the movements you could make, it was practically impossible to pass it if he read your mind to predict your movements, after a while trying to finish him off, our playmates call Solid Snake through a radio and they tell him that to stop reading your mind you had to connect your console control to the second player's port, only that way Psycho Mantis was unable to read your mind.
Incredible right? Even more so for the time of which is the game (1998) for this and many more things became one of my favorite games worth remembering, you. What do you think about it? I hope you many of you enjoyed it.
Dont Forget to share this post if u like it and let me an Upvote! Thank u Steemers!
Okay so ill have you know that The Metal Gear Series Is my absolute favorite video games.
Ive been playing MGS my entire life and have played through every single game in the franchise -with the exception of the newest one, which I’ve only played small amounts of.
I have tried to convince so many people to give it a change and stick with it but the controls of the old game are dated and difficult- so i understand.
Where the game really shines is in the story, I feel like Snake is a dear member of my family lmao...I know his life, his world and have shared memories with him.. and his clones lol
I don’t rant about MGS much anymore but thank you for giving me the opportunity to do it once more!
MERYLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks to you for take your time and read my post and im absolutely agreed with you, the story is amazing!
Absolutely man- us minnows gotta stick together. Just cause we’re small- doesn’t mean our content isn’t good. Good luck out there friend. Just followed you!
The walk (okay run) from the bus or school to home to get back in front of those games for a while was truly something I remember fondly! Though I was in high school by the time PS was kicking around I still remember the same feeling regardless!
its beautiful remember those times, thanks to read my post bro!
