Set before the second battle for the Hoover dam. This story tells of the NCR offering the Courier a position in charge of the new NCR Courier Corps. The position as leader entailed the responsibility of training and organising the corps activities, which are to ensure strong military communication lines. The Courier has his own terms for taking the position, which the NCR reluctantly accept. The terms are to owning several properties on the New Vegas strip, and making these properties outside the law of the NCR. The Courier gained these properties after the battle, and immediately set up a hospital using the Followers of the Apocalypse as its leaders.
Many people were displeased with the ending of Fallout: New Vegas. This fanfiction was enjoyable in that it explores a possible expainsion of the story. it was somewhat indepth with the use of the the Courier setting up immunity for his buildings then having the Followers of the Apocalypse take up residence in his building. the writing style was good and made me want for the author to go more indepth with their story, as the can clearly think of a unique expansion to the Fallout story.
A first person fanfiction written from the Ship Normandy's AI "EDI". Written in form of the ship's log. it takes place from the start of the story from when Joker openly hates the use of AI through to the end when Joker unchains EDI and lets her EDI open use of controlling the ship. which it was not allowed to do at the start. It shows EDI questioning whether of not it is feeling certain emotions.
I enjoyed this fanfiction, it was written from a good perspective. it was a somewhat unsual perspective. Although it was not necessarily correct from the start that it is only emotion that was unsual for a computer to understand. but the higher cognitive ability of questioning certain actions and in itself questioning whether or not it is feeling emotion is unsual for a computer.
this story starts with a thought from Solid Snake about a past love interest that died in a previous fanfiction story. It shows a side to Snake that you dont see in the games, shows remorse and regret for the situations he has been involved it. it then continues to Otacon flying Snake to a 'plant'. Snake then exits the helicopter and swims to the plant. He is then somehow trapped by an enemy. This unnamed enemy then questions snake and begins to torture him.
This fanfiction ignores parts of the main story of Metal Gear Solid, in that Solid Snake was genetically modified so that he was not so intelligent as he would start to question the orders he has been given, or show remorse for the orders he carried out. The story seems to take place for no reason, and stops at a time where the story could get interesting. but it takes place in a snippet of time that doesnt seem significant to anything else relating to the story of the series.
An unexpected conclusion
The final boss battle between Solid Snake and Liquid Snake/Metal Gear REX takes place in the lower regions of the military base in Alaska. As the battle is about to start a support beam falls from the roof and crushes Metal Gear REX with Liquid Snake inside, killing them both. Solid Snake then catches Meryl who somehow got to the roof and then fell. Then Solid converses with Otacon about the final procedures for the mission and what has to be done for it to be finished. It then finishes with a terrible pun.
This fanfiction was terribly written. it had spelling mistakes, and misuse of sayings, such as calling a Dragon's body a "fleshy hull". It would have been much better if they explained why the beam fell from the roof. The best bit of the story was when Otacon was explaining how he was wishing REX would have at least done somewhat better in the battle, because he created it, and wanted it to be used to its full potential. Even though it was a walking tank that could have been used to kill millions of people. The worst part was the pun at the end.
Crysis 2
Snake watches Otacon play Crysis 2 and peppers him with questions about the game. He explains how there are similarities between the games to do with their characters 'nano-suits" and how you can gain invisibility by using them.
The characters in the fanfic speak somewhat convincingly compared with how the characters speak in the game. i wasnt a fan of the end joke, it just seems to step too far out of the realms of what i imagine fanfic to be, in that they are assuming that the Metal Gear series has not been made. Also the story would have been better if it gave some clues as to where this was taking place. i would assume that by the fact that they are sleeping in bunks that they are in the nomad, which is there mobile base which is in a plane.
