I finished Metal Gear Solid IV.Right now, I'm unchaven, wearing filthy clothes......and in Dire Need of a bath.Still,it was worth it.I can honestly say MGSIV now ranks as My Favorite Game Of All Time, though the main reason that is, is because I've been following Snake and Big Boss' Story through all the different games in the series.To all those claiming that one game isnt worth buying a console....your so wrong, offcourse the PS3 has other games which to are great exclusives, like UnCharted for example, so that argument is completely unfounded.
Anyway, this blog is to give My impressions of MGSIV, not to advertise its system.Calling this My Favorite Game is perhaps not 100 percent correct, since its the story and its cinematic aspect which carries the entire thing.Gameplay's Great to offcourse, one of the best created up to this point, but its not the Sneaking that will Forever Burn this Game into My Head, its the characters and the Messages Kojima brings so succesfully through this medium.
Since I'm quitte Cynical By Nature, I tend to brush of most storylines and melodramatic scenes in games, and yet I can say that I havent been this affected and stunned by a game since Final Fantasy VIII back in 1999,Perhaps even more so.Snake and Big Boss' Stories are done, and though some extra prequel games might still be produced to cash in further using this series.I Hope that Konami doesnt make any games set in the future after Metal Gear Solid IV, Since that would ruining the meaning behind MGSIV's Ending.

Early on I think I see which character they want to choose for the next leading character for MGS-V, and they may or may not use elements from MGSIV to tie some certain things together...or make reference, but not tied DIRECTLY to the story would be the way to go.
I loved what you wrote in the beginning about being unshaven and needing a shower. 
That was hilarious. I'm sure you're not the only one to have experienced that after this game. Take care Faller. And I like your icon by the way.
