That is percisely the downfall of its storyline. IMO any storyline that doesn't at least try to deal with relevant philosophical, social or political questions is worthless. They are merely of entertainment value and nothing more. |
For the most part games are either for entertainment or educating young children, I have never found a game designed to educate an adult - largely because it would be nigh on impossible to convey an understanding of anything complicated and meaningful through games. The Metal Gear Solid series certainly doesn't give an understanding of philosophy to the player and never actually tries to, it uses philosophy for entertainment value.
If you want to learn philosophy or politics go take a university course on them, or even just get a book on them. No game will give you any sort of decent grounding in any of these things and no game to my knowledge has ever claimed to.
