The following is a reference and spoiler for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

spoilerWhat we need to do is hijack a submersible fortress, steal the prototype railgun designed for stealth-launching nuclear warheads, and mount the rail gun on the fortress so you can guard it with your battle-harem of cyborg soldier women. Bonus points for getting your arm chopped off by a ninja, replacing it with a transplant, getting possessed by the donor's ghost because you were unknowingly the child of a medium, but then getting the transplant arm replaced by a prosthetic and hypnotizing yourself into thinking you're still possessed because reasons... Oh yeah, point the railgun at the orbital data center while all this is going on to ragebait the clone sibling of the arm donor I guess!

Easy!

Man, those games got wild... I mean, they started pretty wild. But yeah.

Indeed. I had to remind people that this was the actual third/fourth act of a flagship title and I was among the many people who took it very seriously because it "changed gaming forever, it was art!"

I mean, I still love Metal Gear Solid, but we have to be able to see it with some objectivity
