The Metal Gear Franchise is so revered because it has an incredible talent of spending two hours ranting about war economy and the flaws in our political system and how it’ll lead to turmoil, and then just cutting to something rediculous like a “cyborg ninja” pirouetteing to destroy mooing robots, or a battle tank that sings like a vocaloid, or a man made of bees, and it somehow doesn’t skip a fucking beat.

Unlearned people usually think this is a jape, but literally, a boss within the last hour of gameplay of the 4th game is defeated SOLELY because the PS3 is a more powerful console than the PS1, and he’s so baffled by it, his ghost dies.

I shit you not.
