But if you think back at this and see that this was all made by someone in 2001 and now look at our society in 2013,its all nearly the same. Well except for.........................NANOMACHINES. But most of that digital stuff and memes. It made for one of the best mgs stories ever. I really hope mgsV does something on the same level of even higher than mgs2 and the memes What's even eerier is that The Matrix Reloaded, released two years later, nearly did the exact same thing regarding Raiden's encounter with the Patriots with Neo and his encounter with the Architect. It was similar but not the same. Matrix is on my list of movie series to re-watch nowadays. But i think each mgs has a distinct flavour to its story.

mgs1 was more of a bad-ass action movie type that had a lot of intelligent stuff behind it

mgs2 was more of a mind-fuck philosophical meanings(For example,like leaving a legacy or if you die today in 100 years what proof do you have you existed.I mean THAT IS DEEP STUFF) behind it coupled with some bad-ass behind it but maybe not as much as mgs1

mgs3 was more like mgs1 but from someone else's POV(Bigby....er I mean Big Boss) and it had less of the philosophical stuff and more of the bad-ass stuff coupled with a deep personal story based more on a what a person would sacrifice for their mission/country(and a bit of patriotism)

mgs4 had a little bit more on your will/sense(Just see even though Solid Snake was reduced to a shriviling old man he still took the safety and freedom of the world on his shoulders and saved the it while on his deathbed and with knowing that in the end only maybe 15 people will ever know about him and his deeds thanks to being labelled as a terrorist by the rest of the world. So in a LOT of ways Solid Snake lived and died like The Boss) and it also had aspects from all previous stories as well like bad-ass(ness) and some deep(But not that deep philosophical meanings)

mgs:Peace Walker....well that questioned the true nature of peace we see today and if that is even real and if peace itself is actually a real and achievable thing or whether it is in the nature of man to be at peace

As you can already deduce I LOVE the story in the mgs series. Its one of the best if ever played in a videogame and one of the best i've ever seen in my life and i've seen a couple of them. In fact, i think(but im not sure) that the story of mgs is my faviourite part of it and i think to even appreciate the story of it you have to at least be 15-16 years old to actually appreciate it. I was actually 15 when i first played mgs and i think you have to be around this age not only to understand everything but to appreciate it aswell i mean I DIDNT HATE mgs2 Raiden and even Rose too. Because in the end Solid Snake could never bring out the themes of the story made in mgs2 and not because he's a bad character but because he would of obviously seen right through all the illusions unlike Raiden who was a noob at the time and I think it was good they put the him in the game and made it like that.

Im sorry i went a little off topic there but i had to make a point and so you guys could understand it properly(For those who actually read this)
