I disagree on some level. First of all Kojima has reiterated during interviews and his own blog in the past that he doesn't want people playing his games purely for fun, entertainment or as a means to escape boredom. He wants there to be meaning and thought behind his games that drive people to think about themselves and the world around them while (obviously) being wrapped in an entertaining package so that anyone can enjoy it on different levels. I think if you play each of the 4 MGS titles, really do in-depth research on them and a lot of thinking of your own they alone do provide a foundation from which to build your own intellect and philosophical worldview upon. It doesn't replace more high concept ideas such as those presented by Kant or Neitzche but for what it's worth it does provide enough "meat" in a few dozen hours of presentation for the average man to feed off of for many years as the basis of their own intellectual development. |
I don't actually agree to be honest. Building your intellectual developement on Metal Gear Solid would not, in my opinion, be a good idea. think we're going to have to leave it on this one.
But now that I think about it Mass Effect does explore the morality of creating and destroying Synthetic Intelligences to some level, its not a blunt instrument like MGS and not as in depth either but it does explore it. Isn't that the type of thing that you like?
