Metal Gear Solid Storyline Gripes

I know I am going to get a lot of angry emails for this one. So I will say it straight out:

Solid Snake should have died. Solid Snake should have died by his own gun, in his own mouth. I was infuriated when that didn’t happen. I love Snake, but to make the story go full circle, they HAVE to kill him. Actually I don’t mind if he doesn’t die, but I mind when at the last EFFING SECOND somehow we find out how he can live a measly 6 months. He may as well just said “Screw it, I’m not gonna do it,” but he had to have Big Boss show up, give an hour long speech, and die before Snake is like “nah.” Again, last minute storyline details that just pissed me off. Snake should have died, and it was obvious he was going to. At the last minute Kojima just decided “Lets keep him alive, make a Foxdie vaccine that kills everyone, oh and bring back Big Boss too while we’re at it. That can keep him alive and kill Big Boss off too. Wait, lets have the vaccine kill ALL The Patriots.”

Details.  We lack details here. There isn’t much more to say about Snake, other than his horrible finale, he is by far one of the most rounded characters in fiction. With this, I see the route Kojima went with Metal Gear Solid 2-having Snake in third person. It makes it refreshing to finally play as him again, and also keep him from being boring as unfortunately would have been the case if we were stuck with SOLID Snake for the whole series.

That’s really all I have to say on this. The series was awesome, just a few gripes about the direction Kojima took with the storyline. Don’t get me wrong, MGS4 was the best game I’ve played in years. I just wanted to go through a few things I found wrong with the whole thing.

Yeah, it’s a little all over the place, but there really isn’t much else for me to say that hasn’t already been said.
And the f*ckers who read this thing without playing the game should be shot.

That’s it, see you hopefully next time!
