Damn. MGS IV really fell off a cliff compared to last year for me. It's one of the few games I've played that for whatever reason I start to like less as time goes on. Although I'd still consider it to be a good game, the convoluted story, mediocre boss battles and Chapter 3 really started to hurt the game for me.
My 49th game allows you to shape your own history whether it be with the longbow, sword or even diplomacy (sort of).
