What meaning there is to be found in the petty vicissitudes of your existence must be gleaned by you and you alone. Yeah, what a win for them.Įdited by RedHunter543 on May 10th 2021 at 3:49:25 PM MGS 2 was supposed to be the final game, and the gainax ending was Kojima trying to tell the audience, no the action and conspiracies don't matter, what matters is what I'm saying to you and the themes of the I find it funny on how the Patriots boast about being able to control events thanks to the S3 program but their Arsenal gear JUST CRASHED INTO NEW YORK. So what's the justification for all THAT? Sure Snake mentions proxy wars, but doesn't really elaborate on it.Īnd Yeah. Like yeah, don't get me wrong, I see the real life parallels, like you got Vietnam for an older example, or a certain president in his farewell speech stating to beware the military industrial complex.īut like the War economy is far more mainstream and much more global encompassing that quiz shows and cook shows are made in reaction to surviving the war economy and that there are commercials for each PMC, like a regular average joe can hire them. (The Patriots really are meant to be what Campbell Codec described as the forces brewing under the White House of nationalism and idealism)īut fans demand he make a sequel.so he made MGS 3 that has no answers.Īnd then they DEMANDED he provide answers in MGS 4 when, bluntly, no answer was ever intended.Īuthor of The Rules of Supervillainy, Cthulhu Armageddon, and United States of Monsters. He was thinking more Twilight Zone and "The Philosophers have been dead for a century!" The idea that the Patriots actually were the invisible forces behind government and nationalism that could never be defined. It was meant to be deliberately No Ending. Kojima has also said that part of the problem was that the Patriots were never actually supposed to be defined. So it's not surprising that Kojima tried to avoid giving them any further screentime or characterization in MGS 4. Not with a bang, but a whimper.’Įdited by Nikkolas on May 10th 2021 at 9:33:36 AMīack then the Codec Call with the Patriot A.I.s was considered to be largely unpopular, dragged out, and overly obtuse, even to the point most fans were suggesting that if a director's cut ever be made that Kojima rework the ending to remove them entirely. The world is being engulfed in ‘truth’.Ĭolonel: ‘And this is how the world ends. Rose: Not even natural selection can take place here. No one is invalidated, but nobody is right. They stay inside their little ponds, leaking whatever ‘truth’ suits them into the growing cesspool of society at large.Ĭolonel: The different cardinal truths neither clash nor mesh. Rose: Everyone withdraws into their own small gated community, afraid of a larger forum.
The untested truths spun by different interests continue to churn and accumulate in the sandbox of political correctness and valve systems. All a rhetoric to avoid conflict and protect each other from hurt. Rose: But it’s obvious from the start that only a few can succeed.Ĭolonel: You exercise your right to ‘freedom’ and this is the result. Rose: Everyone grows up being told the same thing.Ĭolonel: ‘You’re special.’ ‘Believe in yourself and you will succeed.’ It didn't take all the shit of the last few years for me to understand the truth of this exchange:Ĭolonel: The digital society furthers human flaws and selectively rewards development of convenient half-truths. lol I realized this ever since I was a kid. It has no relation to the S3 Plan or their stated fear of information overload.īut anyway, they're not wrong. ".let's make perpetual war with nanomachines!" "We've mastered a way to manipulate anybody in any situation through information control!" The War Economy is a moronic MGS 4 retcon and has nothing at all to do with anything said in MGS 2.
