Do I want to play this game?

I'm not Metal Gear die-hard, but I enjoy the series a fair bit. I've only played the 4 console games, skipping on the handhelds because I didn't have anything to play them on and I didn't have any desire to go back to them with the HD re-releases. My only Peace Walker is Metal Gear Scalon and I didn't pick up Ground Zero's because the stuff I heard about the story really turned me off. Then seeing it turned me off even harder.

As someone who's only player 1-4 for the goofy nonsense, is this game for me?

The amount of Silent Hill 2 in this thread is really bumming me out.

For me it's System Shock 2. Followed very closely by Silent Hill.

Okay, I can understand that logic. I still don't agree with it, but I don't think you've gone totally insane anymore. Then again, I love Till the End of Time, stickily for the gameplay though. I'll be the first to admit the story is balls.

I know you've had a rough night, but lets not be crazy now. Do you really think that "it was a video game all along" is actually worse than "we all grew up in the same orphanage and forgot about it except one guy who never mentioned it even after we told him to shoot his mom in the face?" Truly? Truly?

Yes, let the hate flow through you. Fulfill your destiny.

The orphanage twist is both ironically and unironically my favorite plot twist ever. Somebody sat down and wrote that, though it was a good idea, submitted it, and no body stopped them. It's mind-bendingly incredible. I literally cannot believe it. But believe it or not, it's not over yet. Not by a long shot.

For as amazing as that twist is, I still never got past the fact that in a world where anti-magic field generators exist, the primary villain is a sorceress.

I love that game a whole lot, but even I have my limits.

It really depends on what you like about Metal Gear. Do you like the philosophical and techno-thriller side of it? Then Ghost in the Shell is what you want. IF you are more into the ever escalating absurdity of the hero's and villians and their schemes, the you might be better suited watching JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Actually, watch JoJo's ether way. One of the villains turns his hand into a squirrel and sends it to attack a robot Nazi. JoJo's is the best.

Well...I never finished all the playthoughs needed to get that ending. I might just have to now.

If only this would mean less Troy Baker in videogames in the future. Actually, can we put a moratorium on the entire P4 crew?

I drop any RPG that doesn't let me directly control all party members.
