But.. it gets to be mixed with the fantasy of being single person heros (won't happen in war) and with those over the top bosses with their strange backstories. Though no matter how insane, to an extent, people believe in a lot of the issues presented in the game to one extent or another.

They say the best stories are the ones that really happend, or are the ones with some truth to them. That's what MGS is.. be it the real truth, or the false truth. Its very heavily based in reality and what people "think". That's why a game like that can be paired up with real events and times.

Can call it "nuggests" of truth if you like, just google something in the game (outside of the stupid bosses) that's a 'fake' real issue, and someone will be talking about it.
