Welcome to the second part of the Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain review. The first part is quite the downer, because I mainly focused on the negative aspect of the game, because I am a firm believer of eating the vegetables. Now with all the bad things out of the way, I can finally talk about all the good things in the game. Which in this case, is a lot. Gameplay We all know that it is important for a game franchise to evolve with the times and good god, what an evolution this game is for the Metal Gear series. The modernized control scheme and the flawless stealth mechanic makes The Phantom Pain the most addicting Metal Gear game I've ever played. Furthermore, in The Phantom Pain, every seconds counts. On one hand, you can run around the Afghan desert or the African Savanna, capturing outpost, putting soldiers to sleep, fultoning the high ranking ones back to your Mother Base; on the other hand, you can whip out your iDroid no matter where you are and start managi...

“My mama always said, ‘Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.'” -Forrest Gump And Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is one of the best chocolate you will ever taste. I was still in Form 1 back then and just bought a PS2. A casual conversation with my classmate brought up a game called Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. My first reaction was of course, what kind of name is that, Snake Eater? Of course, 2006 is the golden era of PS2 piracy, where games cost five ringgit each, that means you don't have to regret your purchase even if the game sucks, so I bought the game. My first Metal Gear game. To be honest, I am a late bloomer when it comes to playing video games. Sure, my father bought me a PS1 when I was five,  but after a few session of FIFA World Cup 1998 and Road Rash, it was stowed away somewhere out of sight because I was considered too young to be playing video games. It wasn't until 2003, when I was in Standard 4 that I start...
