I'm going to put a suggestion here in the form of a question. What about Skyrim?

I keep seeing screens of it and it looks GORGEOUS, but I don't know anything about the game in itself. I remember my bro telling me the previous game was pretty boring.

As for MGS, I can honestly say they are the best games ever when it comes to graphics, gameplay and convoluted storytelling. The gay undertones are also all over the place, and I love the characters. MGR isn't developed by Konami, so you should keep in mind it's a totally different game. The villains were pretty good in that one, but the music IMO is atrocious (and I'm used to having magnificent soundtracks with MGS, so...).

The last of us I didn't buy yet, but it looks amazing tbh. I think I'd go for that if I were you, and if you are not familiar with the MGS saga (in case you want to try one, I'd go for MGS2 and MGS3).

Skyrim is a damn good game and MASSIVE (seriously, you could spend hundreds of hours on it), but it has its downfalls. I can't imagine playing if you mind micromanaging things. (Like your inventory. If you feel compelled to take EVERYTHING you're going to be over-encumbered frequently, and even when I'm not nabbing everything under the sun stuff accumulates pretty fast.)

Plus, it's insanely easy to get distracted by side-quests, and because of how much freedom you're given sometimes it can start to feel like you aren't making any progress. I've been wandering around for over 130 hours now, barely even touching the story. Still enjoy it, but for some people that would get boring. (Especially since, even if the game is gorgeous, there are lots of similarities in locations and there are only so many crypts and dungeons and things you can travel through before you start to think, "Haven't I done this before?" It can be repetitive.)

I don't know about graphics, but MGS3 certainly looked amazing on PS2.

wtf are you talking about, the MGR soundtrack was unironically fantastic if you like buttrock. Also the sound direction for the boss fights was really cool, with dynamic soundtrack usage for different events and segments being underscored by changes in the music (entry/exit of vocals, for example).

IA, the soundtrack is wonderful and incredibly catchy. It fits perfectly with the feel of the game and the fast game-play. I listened to that shit for a month after finishing, and there aren't many bosses in the MGS series that felt as dynamic as the ones in MGR.

I still listen to that soundtrack sometimes. Took me a few months to get it off repeat. ;)

Oh yea, I still listen to it sometimes too. It's one of my favorite 'easy listening' soundtracks; I never get tired of hearing it.

All the MGS soundtracks are incredibly good, but imo the MGR soundtrack was just as excellent (it's just a different style).

I love the series' music. It's all fantastic, even when not the same. Makes me excited to find out how 5's music turns out.

Yea! I always expect a lot from MGS's music and the soundtracks always deliver. It'll be exciting to see where they go now.

IT MIGHT BE. >.> I haven't been on much. But this thread basically summoned me from the FFXIV realm, haha.

lol, the MGRR soundtrack was totally addictive. It fits with the game, I thought, and I'm an adrenaline junkie.
