What is it with you and your hard-on for comparing me to Thompson? This is a different situation. There are people out there that will honestly believe that everything in this movie happened. You know such people exist. Not everyone will fall for it, but plenty will.

Or because they didn’t like it. Different strokes for different folks son.

Yeah, I get that now, but even when I get it, it’s still hella confusing to explain.

That better be a stage in the new Hitman or I swear on Odin’s Beard...

I’d like to see something like this in Dark Souls.

If only tagging literally every single piece of art here and saying it’s beautiful wouldn’t get repetitive.

Mugen?

Again, all fine and well if you get the story without having to research the whole thing, but that doesn’t make it less difficult for the rest of us to comprehend it. Partially, if not entirely, because of the issues you mentioned. The story of Metal Gear is told in a messy way.

I have literally met people that believe these kinds of films are telling the truth, but in a storytelling fashion. That’s why.

Or maybe it’s because they don’t like the gameplay or story. Do you know why I don’t like games like Battlefield? Because I don’t like it! Do you know why Luke didn’t like The Witcher or Metal Gear? Probably because he didn’t like them.

That’s fair. I didn’t like some of the cliche anime stuff in Persona, but usually it handles itself pretty well in my opinion, so I think I’ll be able to live with Persona 5.

Sure, people will realize that at least some of it’s dramatized, but not everyone will. They’ll assume that this is what actually happened, because they’ve been led to believe that’s the whole point of this film.

For MGS5? Maybe. But as a whole, the Metal Gear series is all over the place. Most people agree on this. If you don’t have an issue with it, fine, but don’t say that Metal Gear is not convoluted just because you’re OK with it.

And what if a person understands that they don’t really like the majority of games in a franchise? It would make sense to assume that a new game in a franchise would be at least somewhat similar to the past games. Sometimes the changes the new game brings is enough to fix your past issues, but not always.

I mean, if it’s the next game in a franchise, and you didn’t like the past ones, isn’t it fair to assume that you won’t like the new installments?

Most people have to pay very close attention to understand Metal Gear, even the hardcore fans. The story of Ocelot alone is too much to handle. (what side is that asshole on?!)

Are you fucking kidding me? Do you realize how convoluted and insane the Metal Gear mythology is? I wouldn’t have it any other way, but seriously.

I used to hate JRPGs. And you know what? I still hate them. But I’ve learned to love Persona.

What the hell are going on about? I never said Thompson was right. Quite the opposite.

Making fiction out of real events is not a good thing. Not like this, at least. And we both know that there will be tons of people that don’t realize that a lot of the things in this movie are fake.
