Playing through MGS V, I fucking love this series and this game but ngl, I can’t help but think so much of MGS is nonsense, which I’m totally fine with.

But I haven’t really done a deep dive into the story or it’s commentary, so it’d be cool if someone more uhh analytically inclined could explain this shit to me if it’s worth explaining.

Edit: really cool to play in Afghanistan, not cool to be killing Soviet soldiers

It's been years since I've touched the games but it can be all over the place at times but the central theme of war being awful and soldiers being pawns of people much more powerful than them runs pretty consistent through mgs 1-3.
