I don't count those two because the pretense by which meryl reconciles with roy is a marriage to an easter egg gag character that betrays a lot of her own character development in this game so that it's possible, and Raiden and his son were only estranged because Rose decided that the best thing for little John's safety was to lie to Jack, telling him that not only did she have a miscarriage, but that she left him for Roy.

I do not believe or accept that these characters had a real resolution for their relationship. I only believe that for Snake and Big Boss

I think mgs4 ends way too neat. I think it spends too much time wrapping things up in an uncomplicatedly positive way because it doesn't want to make anyone upset or create any new drama or stakes. After so much suffering there's too much fluff at the very end.

That being said, I understand why the fluff is there. I understand that it was deeply personal to Kojima to have a scene where his main character reconciles with his father, even if it's drowned in loredumping and useless metaphors. If you shave off all the foam, there's something really powerful there. I get it. I really do. Even if the ending is objectively bad, I can't be upset at it

#not that those reconciliations don't flesh out the theme its just. theyre not very good

OCELOT FIGHT TIME!!!

Tonight at 6pm Pacific: METAL GEAR SOLID 4 THE MOVIE!!! (part 2)

Did you know that if you play mgs4 just skipping all the cutscenes you would get it done faster than the whole cutscene movie we're about to watch tonight? Yeah, playing this game on a choppy emulator would probably be worse than what we're about to do. Last night's part 1 was a fucking doozy, but surely acts 4 and 5 plus the 71 minute epilogue cutscene won't be as rough, right? Right? Right?

allies get ONE letter in the acronym and it’s always forgotten

gays get EVERY letter in the acronym (lesbians = gay, gays = gay, bisexuals = mostly gay, i dont know what the T stands for but i’m sure it’s gay too)

how is this equality?

#ahead of its time by a whole decade

There are exactly three moments in the entire game where this tension actually works to a cohesive artistic conclusion, where the themes of nostalgia, decay, and the end of an endless war come together. The rest of the game is just confused and incoherent, grasping blindly at its past glories hoping it can strike gold again.

You can tell Kojima really wanted to like making Metal Gear Solid 4 but just couldn't bring himself to

He tried to show us a new kind of speculative world, the sort of terminal point of dystopia where war is everywhere and the patriots control everything, just like Solidus warned about. He has a lot of ideas he's excited for here.

It's just that he had an uncharacteristic fear of upsetting his fans even more than MGS2 did (especially considering the actual death threats he got when he tried to back out of this game). So you have a new point in the Metal Gear timeline that is simultaneously radically different than what came before, but is so drowned in fanservice that more than half the worldbuilding details connect back to whatever might have been popular or iconic in what came before.
