Today’s game is some more Metal Gear Solid 3. Today is gonna be quick because I basically had to backtrack after getting forward a bit because of some save issues. But despite that I realized this game has a lot of cool ass secrets that actually affect the game.
Like I went off the beaten path and found a sniper rifle. Completely out of the way. No message pointing me there. Just a completely random sniper hidden.

What really is cool though is what it’s used for. If you have it the game basically gives you a clear line of sight to take out The End. You don’t have to fight him later that way.
That’s what I ended up doing. I popped a cap in his head and he blew up. I feel a little bad because it’s my first playthrough. But also having just found this completely on accident I had to do it.
I also wanted to bring up the stealth. It’s really grown on me. Having to use the camo and slink around feels really good. I do feel like I lack any good ranged stealth weapons (suppressor broke fast) but it does make it satisfying to to a CQC Takedown. Just crouch up behind them and take them down.
Anyways, after discovering that secret today I had to share it. I love when games have secrets like that and this is no exception

Oh you’ll love the song by the band “Starsailor” you hear near the end of the game. Don’t look up the scene with it if you don’t want it spoiled for you
EDIT: Also holy shit a SITE THAT SELLS LADDERS MADE AN ARTICLE ON THE LADDER SCENE
The article reminds me of this video I saw on Ladders in Halo CE. It’s interesting to see such a dedication to an otherwise mundane topic. It makes it interesting in its own right I suppose
