I like to think MGS2 was very well intentioned: things *seemed* unreasonable, outlandish and outright aggressive in its assertions that it needed to be the way that it was
But displacing time away from it and examining the entire experience having been something with deep intention from the start really makes the case that everything from jungle boogie to "I need scissors, 61" being faithful elements in the hellthread that was MGS2
but real talk Naomi should have stayed British but I realize they really liked Hale and she's not a bad egg, so there's that I guess

> I like to think MGS2 was very well intentioned:
The whole game was about how much sequels suck, then big facets of the story were exaggerated digs at sequels (including Ocelot's speech where he retcons something he had just retconned immediately a minute ago), and then Snake and the Colonel talk about how stupid gamers are. I mean, I fully believe he intended to make a great game but he also said he didn't plan to make a MGS and that he didn't want to make a sequel and then he had to.

Same with Mei Ling, they took everyone's accent away and then everyone was just American.

THE REASONLESS ASS-PULL WAS THE BEST PART OF MGS2

Lotta cool moments like that but every time I think about Naomi, I wish they'd kept the accents.
> hard to believe it was so long ago now
I had a regular, non-HD TV. I got an HD-TV from woot.com because of that game. That's how long ago it was.

@unlight @Koropokkur @Soma @Tony @admin @fuckracists @graf @locagainstwall @miscbrains HA, that was great. 4 felt like it had a lot of effort put into it, it was really amazing.

4 gets swept under the rug for a lot of reasons: I unironically enjoyed it, a lot, and the plot twists were well done and didn't feel like ass pulls for no reason
the game was so thoughtful and intuitive with how you approached many different situations even if the most obvious choice did lead you to the correct spot, but I remember being led astray by "Naomi's" garments in SA only to find a hut rigged with bombs for my first playthrough
or the branching paths for the European episode
or... the entire 4th episode that hit me right in the childhood
hard to believe it was so long ago now

I never thought to try to octocamo next to the statue

@graf @Koropokkur @Tony @Soma @admin @fuckracists @locagainstwall @unlight @miscbrains I think it's okay to write misleading things on the box.

I've taken it upon myself to write "The Orange" on boxes at work to see if anyone gets the joke
So far no one has
I am always sad about this
