alt Hacker News>Yeah I know, sure, fake information on the internet. It's so prescient I guess, but the actual story is incomprehensible.
apply this logic to john carpenter movies and they fall apart, too.
Escape from LA is just about as absurd, just less paranormal.
Nuclear powered personal submarines, surfing typhoon waves from California plate shifts, transforming bullet-proof stealth helicopters, emp superweapons and engineered DNA-tailored superbugs ( or atleast the claim of them ) , VR replacing reality, Cuba taking over the democratic world after a theocratic US rescension.
it's just entertainment campiness. When I play a Kojima game I just sort of imagine it internally as a video game equivalent to a John Carpenter movie.

Man, now I have the music of The Duke arriving in my head.
Thanks!
edit: the soundtrack sure was a banger at the time
To be clear, I enjoy the games, I've played through MGS2 all the way through twice. It's a good game.
I even enjoy the story, but I view the story as something like a soap opera; a story that is extremely compelling and addictive as you're watching it, but upon turning it off you find yourself questioning what it is you just watched.
