Yeah, but it's a game that takes itself seriously.
I don't mind Joe from Viewtiful Joe morphing into a superhero who has mastery over time...I mean, in the context of VJ, that makes
perfect sense...
MGS, though, relies heavily on plausibility. Naturally, sentient dismembered body parts with convoluted backstories and bad accents aren't really a good fit.
I tried suspending my disbelief, but it's kinda hard when you've got a balding gun-slinger talking in a terrible pseudo-British accent because his right hand isn't happy with what his left hand is doing.[/quote]
All the bosses and characters are larger than life, and reality has to be suspended. Grey Fox comes back to life for MGS, Fortune can not be shot, there was a vampire in MGS2, and the list goes on and on.
All the backstories do, is show how heavy misinformation can be in society and unless you find out for yourself, you should not base your opinions on someone elses words as they could have an interest in what you end up doing.
