History lesson:
Kojima wanted to make movies, but movies were always controlled by somebody else in some form or another. Movies were expensive and not a guarentee to get a message across. Kojima turns to vid games. NES was the start of Metal Gear.
Fast forward to MGS 1, 2, 3.
While the story keeps evolving to a supposed actual ending in MGS4, the base is the same.
One man who is physically up to the challenge and with enough training and mental anguish to keep him going can save the day.
Let's start with MGS3 since it's the prequel. You are "snake" and your object is to kill Big Boss. You fight 4-5 unhuman like mini bosses and sneak around. In the end you save the day only to know it was all a big ploy to use you. Funny how the patriots control everything, yet they make you out to be a patriot in the game.
Kojima Lesson within story: What are you going to pass to your children?
MGS1 - You fight 4-5 insane human beings, add the mental anguish of having to destroy your cloned brother and find out it was all a test. You again are a patriot.
Kojima lesson: An aspect over the whole process of cloning.
MGS2 - You now play as a person who wasn't a test tube baby but still grew up all around war. Your emotional mental anguish is that you are faced with having to kill your "Father". Snake is almost a cameo but still plays an important vital role in the whole thing. Raiden is faced with the same 4-5 unhuman like miniboss/characters as well as having to be the "savior".
Kojima lesson: The past, present and future of the information age.
All in all each game is similar, although this MGS4 looks to be a tad different. A hidden message ties the whole story development while the plot pretty much ends the same.
My "loose ends" that need to be tied up are as follows:
How does this all start?
Roy Campbell's involvment as well as the rest of the returning cast.
Olga's Baby who was stolen in MGS2 (reminds me of Big Boss and her stolen child, which I believe is Olga from what they talked about in MGS3)
The return of Raiden as the "ninja" or partner who helps snake in ever MG game.
Foxdie
And how in the hell does an arm take over a body mentally. (Ocelot with Liquids arm)
Feel free to discuss for I might find out some new intel or look at things a new way.
