Honest Game Trailers: Metal Gear Solid | |
From the developer that fired everyone who made their classic franchises comes the game series that's named after 3 random, cool sounding words in a row. Metal Gear Solid! | |
Can't it be both? I say this as a fan. The story is insane and ridiculous. But also grounded and realistic. It switches between the two on a whim. That's half the charm of Metal Gear Solid. It takes its ludicrous nonsense serious. Where else do we get a character crying at the sight of Old Snake's body, and a cyborg ninja slicing his way through an office building, and a naked guy doing cartwheels? If Konami thinks anyone other than Kojima can do Metal Gear and make it Metal Gear, they are living in a dream world. Sadly, I'm pretty sure they think anyone can do Metal Gear. | |
Maybe I'm a 9 year old stuck in a 30 year old's body...but that was a PERFECTLY executed fart joke. Thank you very much, I really needed a good laugh today. | |
Well, they clearly thought anyone other than Team Silent could do Silent Hill (except Kojima and Guillermo del Toro), so... | |
I agree, the games veer wildly between those two states, sometimes on a minute to minute basis. One minute you could be having a serious conversation about the horrors of war, and then next... Well... The best way I can put it is "Something suitably Kojima esque happens". The best example in my opinion is MGS1, Snake get's tortured in quite a shocking (I'm not sorry!) scene, and then immediately afterwards has to escape his cell, the methods of which are ludicrous and full of low brow humour. | |
