>>9702678yes and no because metal gear solid is a game that kinda plays with what you expect a game to treat a player as, especially mgs2
and as i said kojima is a very big movie buff, so the games are more like movies with some gameplay (sometimes REALLY TEDIOUS gameplay) in between. mgs2 was infamous for having the record for the longest single cutscene in video game history until it was beaten...by mgs4 (i think another game now currently holds the record but still, i'm talking over 40 minutes of cutscene iirc)
i only played mgs1 and i watched onii-chan play all the others
