Default Re: MGS4 Article in NYTimes

Interesting article. I think the MGS has a lot of underlying truth to it (Especially MGS2), but its decorated with with a lot of fantasy enemies and situations. PMCs are real, the concept of the patriots (aka the Illuminati) existed before the game. Many people in reality believed that human cloning has been tried/done. Most people in america doesn't really feel that their vote counts for anything, and don't have faith inthe voting system. The government as a whole does censor a lot of information, and usually does keep the public in the dark about their true decision making. Etc..

And most importantly, thanks to our human nature. War is what build the world the way it is now. Any freedom anyone has anywhere, tons of people died for it. People call it blood money and don't want to accept money if someone was killed to obtain it... yet this whole country was built from killing millions of people.

MGS is just like a world where all this crap is brought to light. Be it realistic or not, no way to prove it one way or the other.

I find it funny that they even compared it to halo 2 at the end.
