People bringing up asmongold saying “I hope they don’t make it political” about MGS3 remake as though that’s an inherently ignorant thing to say. I’ve played MGS3. It is an incredibly cheesy game targeted at teenagers with incoherent politics on the level of a james bond film. You have people running around saying the series is anti-war or whatever the fuck. Maybe you can find some buried recordings with the characters talking about some CIA op to topple governments or something. It is not front-and-center. All I can really think of is Ground Zeroes that has you infiltrating Guantanamo Bay. Peace Walker also has you fighting alongside some group who were socialist IRL.

Anyway I just say all this so you aren’t as let down as I was when you play the MGS3 remake expecting some sort of full-throated communist propaganda.

    MGS3 really is just some cheesy James Bond installment (but with camouflage). Para-medic goes on a long winded discussion about From Russia with love when you save the game

    And when you finish the game one time regardless of how you did, you unlock a tuxedo suit.

    Still love the game, tho mgs2 had a better message because it was basically a dunk on the reactionary contraptions of American media and culture.
