Oh the romance. Such a moving song. I don't know whose idea it was to do a piece like this for this game, but thank God they did. Masterpiece.

But in the current, digitized world, trivial information is accumulating every second, preserved in all its triteness. Never fading, always accessible. Rumors about petty issues, misinterpretations, slander...All this junk data preserved in an unfiltered state, growing at an alarming rate. It will only slow down social progress, reduce the rate of evolution. You seem to think that our plan is one of censorship. What we propose to do is not to control content, but to create context. The digital society furthers human flaws and selectively rewards development of convenient half-truths. Just look at the strange juxtapositions of morality around you. Billions spent on new weapons in order to humanely murder other humans. Rights of criminals are given more respect than the privacy of their victims. Although there are people suffering in poverty, huge donations are made to protect endangered species. Everyone grows up being told the same thing. Be nice to other people... But beat out the competition! You’re special. Believe in yourself and you will succeed. But it’s obvious from the start that only a few can succeed...

You exercise your right to ‘freedom’ and this is the result. All rhetoric to avoid conflict and protect each other from hurt. The untested truths spun by different interests to churn and accumulate in the sandbox of political correctness and value systems. Everyone withdraws into their own small gated community, afraid of a larger forum. They stay inside their little ponds leaking whatever “truth” suits them into the growing cesspool of society at large. The different cardinal truths neither clash nor mesh. No one is invalidated, but nobody is right. Not even natural selection can take place here. The world is being engulfed in “truth”.

And this is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but a whimper.

We’re trying to stop that from happening. It’s our responsibility as rulers. Just as in genetics, unnecessary information and memory must be filtered out to stimulate the evolution of the species. Who else could wade through the sea of garbage you people produce, retrieve valuable truths and even interpret their meaning for later generations?

That’s what it means to create context.

I wonder if MGS2 being the first and last one I played before MGS5 helped me appreciate the brilliance of both playable character , the grizzled vet and the overwhelmed rookie, coming in with no expectations whatsoever other than the cool cover art to my elementary school brain.

I still remember playing the MGS1 demo cd that came in Official US Playstation Magazine back in August 1998. Era defining stuff.

I am haunted by the time I was at a Scumbag’s house in 2008 and saw in his search history: “is MGS4 coming to 360.” But those are the fans really. The whole thing works on multiple levels really. It sells itself as a stealth game but that’s not what they really are, especially MGS1 which has like 5 rooms with guards in them the whole game. And with more installments and the more “snake dealing with guards” acreage there is the less of a stealth game it became anyway. You can basically run and gun through MGS3-5 iirc, on normal anyway. Anyway it’s basically a bait and switch that works on multiple levels in terms of both story and gameplay. MGS games start out as playable to western Scum attention spans. As you progress they become more Loser friendly. And that works bc Losers are more likely to finish games anyway. MGS4 literally looks like a COD campaign when you start out lol.
