I’ve witnessed something of an anomaly over the last couple years. It seems that Metal Gear Solid, its sequels, and by extension, game creator Hideo Kojima, have become a kind of punching bag; a go-to for snide remarks about convoluted story, outdated gameplay mechanics, and a reliance on pretension and self-importance. So I feel it necessary state my own opinion, nay, my own bias, in as clear a manner as possible.
