MGS2 is also complex, but tackling the issues of Identity, universal vs subject truths, "self", memes, what to pass on and a lot more is far deeper than what any film of game does. MGS3 had it's philosophical content stripped down too far. You people should read the Texas profesors essay (regardless of spelling it is good content) and James Howels analysis to comprehend the scope of the game. |
I already had to read quite a few of those in college, thanks. And comparing MGS2 to work like Descartes' Six Meditations or Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil is ridiculous at best, downright insulting at worst. Shit, it can't even compete with a movie like 2001:A Space Odyssey when it comes to the topics of man's role in the universe, free will, or self-awareness.
