Correction.

Also i loved 3, besides the story being pretty ludicrous as well

3 was way more down to earth in comparison.

I always gathered the story was somewhere between the 4 options given.

The story was really out there, so even posting about it is failure, but whatever.

-The ai program was just to see how well they could predict/control human reactions.

-The tanker incident was part to ruin snakes good reputation which was out of their control, and to create a diversion to make a huge base/gear/thing near the coastline, and ruin the marines plan for reduction of gears.

-The controlling information thing seemed like a comparatively reasonable story arc thing.

-Ocelot's shit made no sense, so I ignore it. Maybe he was just an idiot.

-None of the bosses made any sense, except for fat man. Who was awesome.

Wait till you see the bosses in 3.

I can control wasps, too.

Look, its solid snake. Absurd plots are only to distract the lesser minds from the game play. Think of as a zen mantra
I am the president's clone of the illumanti's secret plan to control the small minds of americans in new york through ai and nuclear missiles.

/mgs2 made more sense that the above. But it reads like a peter jackson game without beetles references.

I just kept leaving C4 in the spot he got out of the water every single time. Blew him back into the water without him even trying to attack.

Oh yeah - what was the parrot supposed to be telling me the first time you go into the computer room? "Top of the locker", "baboom!"

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Hedio Kojima ruined what could have been the greatest game series ever with his insanely shitty writing and storytelling "abilities."

I mean, the gameplay and visual design are awesome. But it's broken up into what feels like a series of mini-games instead of a whole, cohesive game so we can suffer through Kojima's third grade level drivel. He's either retarded or on a fuckload of drugs. Probably both.

- Bill Clinton is secretly Dr. Octopus, and knows how to use katanas. And when he was young, Dr. Clintoctopus forced white kids to fight in African civil wars by putting gunpowder in their food and showing them Die Hard. Also, he is a clone of Solid Snake.

-The Tanker Incident was just a setup to create the Big Shell Incident which was just a setup to recreate the Shadow Moses Incident which was just a setup to make Solid Snake "ready for anything," even though he'd already defeated like two whole countries with only a rocket launcher and a cardboard box. Also, the whole multi-billion dollar plan was all to train Raiden to make him like Snake, but then he's allowed to just walk away and now everybody knows the Patriots' evil plot.

-Dr. Clintoctopus' plan is to take over the Metal Gears to launch nuclear weapons above Manhattan to create an emc pulse that will wipe out every electronic device in New York as a diversion so that he can get the names of the Patriots out of the computer he's been standing next to for like two days. He kidnaps the President so that he can get the launch codes for the nukes. But wait! His plan is actually a TRIPLE CROSS against his own army, because he doesn't really want the nukes, only the information from the computer that he doesn't at any point try to get. He only hired an army of fat people on roller skates and Russian mercenaries and kidnapped the president because it was the only distraction he could think of while he went after the Patriots.

- Fortune wasn't immune to bullets, but she really was, except sometimes.

- Otacon left his kid sister to drown in the pool when she was 6 because he was screwing his stepmom, which made his father kill himself. His 16 year old sister then decided to create an artificial intelligence capable of controlling every information system in the world to get back at him. But she wears glasses to be more like him even though her vision is fine.

- Raiden's girlfriend is a spy who is also digital plankton from the Whitehouse from 200 years ago. And even though she controls the minds of every feeble minded American and Raiden doesn't know who she is or what she actually really looks like, he still loves her and wants to marry her. Baby on the way!

That game was fucking awesome. I have to play part 3 now.

Push the start button.

It's one of my favorite games, but I never bothered with the story and skipped all the cutscenes. The gameplay is where it is at. The part where the colonel tries to convince you to quit playing, will go down in gaming history.
