The following is my thought's about MGS2's secret items
-----------------
Well, after 3 days of playing the tanker level through the first three difficulties, I have finally gotten the secret items, Stealth and bandanna.
I wasn't ready to part with a month of my life to do the Plant level
Firstly, mythought's on the Bandanna
It's a very exciting moment when you unlock your first "special item" I was feeling quite smug with my new item, but after 5 minute's I thought "Oh crap, this is utter plop"
Although the unlimited ammo was very useful, it's just not a big enough reward for all the hard work. Plus it's plop
Today has been dedicated to try and get the stealth camo.
To my utter horror I completed the last difficulty 2 tags short of the elusive 78 mark, I punched myself in the face many times until *shock, horror* the screen, "new item obtained" came up with the joyous picture labelled "stealth"
BROWN UNDERWEAR ALERT!!!
So I think to myself, (acting rather smug) "let's go onto European extreme mode"
So I skip the Video sequences (as usual) which strangely seemed to take a longer time to skip.
Then there I was, going through my inventory and.... BadaBing, Badaboom
Solid Snake was standing there in his glorified Translucent green.
1st test: Confrontation
I walked up to an unknowing guard and shot him, he fell unconcious.
Conclusion: Failure. Must keep them concious so I can laugh at them
2nd Test: Confrontation
This time I walked up to a guard and smacked him in the face (very funny), he then called for back up, punch more guards in face. Get's repetitive
Conclusion: Success, funny to start off with, then it get's boring, which results in me continuing hitting myself in the head
"2 days wasted"
Overall: Don't spend day's looking for those elusive dogtags, 72 hours of gameplay hardly makes up for something that loses it's charm after 5 minutes
Just a word of warning for those of you who eat sleep and drink MGS2,
IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
Now you can all laugh at how stoopid I was.
