Pretty much. Can’t think of any other boss fights which were nearly as creative in how to win in gaming history.

The Sorrow from Snake Eater. You had to basically shoot yourself up with epinephrine once you realized you were near death and the boss was a ghost.

Sons of Liberty, which came out in 2001, had a central theme that data and mass consumption of it could be and was being manipulated on a large scale to censor it, controlling thought across the country.

Nice touch by the developer in how they did that one.

If you killed a guard, they got eaten by a vulture, then you killed and ate the vulture, they would show up in that sequence asking why you ate them.

Hideo Kojima is the creator of the Metal Gear game series (1987-2015). In many of his games you aren't sure if the character you are playing is the good guy or the bad guy and you're being manipulated by a shadow government.

ParaMedic being Dr. Clark (the one who broke Grey Fox after Zanzibarland) was NOT something I was expecting.

What's interesting is that the AI that goes haywire once Emma introduces the virus is called JFK. The others are TJ, AL, GW and TR.

La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo...LA-LI-LU-LE-LO!!!

I need to replay 2. That and MGS 1 (which I haven’t beat) are the ones I’ve played the least. Have you played any of his earlier games like snatcher and policenauts? They have similar themes with conspiracies and such.

Wait is that some kind of conspiratorial symbolism that JFK was the one supposed to end the patriots just like how he was supposed to end the WASP establishment?

Interesting.

Let's do this.

Haven’t played either but I am familiar with them.

Snatcher’s official US release was only on the Sega CD and is extremely rare in the wild.

Policenauts never got an official North American release for several reasons including the potential headache of removing smoking from the game (I wish I was making this shite up).


Emulation is definitely out there on Snatcher or SD Snatcher.

Policenauts depends on whether they got the English language patch done correctly, which they hadn’t when I looked into it some years back.

If you beat MGS 1 (renamed The Twin Snakes when it was released on Gamecube) in the canon ending (if you submit to the torture, Meryl dies, if not, she lives), the post-credits reveal was one of the ultimate mindfricks (the revelation of who Solidus Snake is)

IIRC, weren't the two main characters in Policenauts Dave and Meryl?

There are one or more central themes to each of the Metal Gear Solid games.

MGS1 - Gene
MGS2 - Meme
MGS3 - Scene
MGS Peace Walker - Peace
MGS4 - Sense
MGS5 - Revenge and Race

One of the most depressing monologues to open a story in any media:

"War...has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles fought by mercenaries and machines. War - and its consumption of life - has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. War has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control...All in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield...controls history. War has changed. When the battlefield is under total control...War becomes routine."
