Just like Metal Gear Solid changed the way I related to videogames, Metal Gear Solid 4 changed the way critics view games. The oven scene in the last act was amazing, breaking the 4rd dimension once again. And to see so many homages to previous games was awesome. The story never lost its charm and in the end everything is understandable and satisfying. This is one of the best games ever created, perhaps even THE best game ever crafted. Many will imitate it, few will nail it, but none will ever duplicate it. I will never forget this game.

Subsistence was the first one with free third person view. I don’t think Twin Snake had third person view, it was still top down. Subsistence was the first one with free third person view.
