I'm tearing through MGS:Subsistence, although with an absurdly high body count. At a little over seven hours of play, I'm at the motorcycle screens which are really the ultimate challenge of this playthrough--nailing the frogs on these screens is absurdly hard, and it's imperative I save at every single screen so I can replay them through if I have to. The shagohod sequence sucks up an inordinate amount of time as well. (The last time I played through the sequence where I'm on foot firing on Volgin while Eva circles around on her motorcycle and "assists," Eva kept running over me repeatedly. Stupid Eva.)
Still it's not impossible to imagine wrapping up the entire game in less than ten hours altogether. And there were a number of small triumphs (blowing up the Hind, drowning myself on the Sorrow showdown, and finally getting a stealth win on The Fury, which was absurdly easy once I gave up on the whole "ooo, I'll headshot him with the tranq sniper rifle in his big glass head" and took the far easier and effective "gut shoot him with the MK22 repeatedly" approach) along the way. Combined with the Infinite Ammo Facepaint, it's been a fun playthrough.
On the other hand, if I don't get that stealth camo? Again? I will throw my PS2 off the fucking roof.
I have to come up with something to write for the newsletter and pronto. I've been thinking about reworking this diary into something even more absurd than it already is...I'm sure I can up the absurdity with no problem, but can I make (or keep) it funny? Or would it just become too pathetic?
