Welp, after weeks and weeks of sleepless nights, the script to Merry Gear Solid 2 is finally complete. Yep. 7 days before the game’s release date.

It’s literally 70 KB worth of some of the most incomprehensible, utterly redundant text I have ever written in my entire life, with plot holes so large and obvious that it’s been said that traveling through them could take you back in time.

The obvious punchline here would be: Kojima would be proud!

I would suggest to anyone who will be playing the new game, to either play the first one, or watch DeceasedCrab’s Let’s Play video of it, so you can start with a working knowledge of the story so far. I TRIED my best to make the game work by itself, without prior knowledge, but you’ll enjoy the game a lot more if you’ve seen/played through the game at least once. A working knowledge of Metal Gear series will also help a lot.

With that said, it’s only a few more days until the game’s release. Now what I’ve gotta do is get all these separate parts I’ve got of the game, and synthesize them into something resembling a continuous story. It’s been a MIND NUMBINGLY FRUSTRATING EXPERIENCE getting the game to where it is now, but the worst of it is over. But know this: this game has ruined my entire Winter and I will be quite upset if this game falls short of winning the Lifetime Best Game Based On Both Metal Gear Solid And Santa Claus Award.
