I keep having mixed signals about this game, but story-wise, it is a masterpiece. Everything about anti-war, inspirations from Moby-♥♥♥♥ by Herman Melville, Japan's government's choice of creating Japan's Self-Defense Forces, and what I assume from the 9/11 terrorist attacks that flipped the world upside down. The Metal Gear series is basically representing a snake biting their own tail in a circle. When the SAGA completely ends, it's in a loop of war without end. So long till I realize how gaming can create emotions and complex storytelling. I fell deep into a techno, tactical espionage thriller that forced me to confront how my own love of escapism had blinded me to the powers that rule behind scenes. Comes to show how fearful our future is going to be. You feel it too, don't you? I wanted them to give back our past until finally, the experience made me pause and consider the phantom pain I was carrying on my shoulders. I felt so much pain and sorrow. Did I want to be haunted by loss and regret my entire life? Or was it time to finally move on? Thanks, Kojima. I'll miss Tactical Espionage Action.
