Didn't the first game have actual footage of castle bravo?
Edit: can't find evidence to confirm but I'm pretty sure THAT was the nuclear test they showed in the game.
I hate chuds, MGS is a fantastic game. If I wanted to play a game about sneaking around in a box I could do that in a box I'd play those hide and seek games on OW2
A good chunk of both MGS 1+2's cut scenes are stock footage from the military. The core theme of 1 is about the government doing nefarious testing on special forces soldiers to make them in the image of history's greatest mercenary then they revolt and hold washington hostage with a nuclear mech.
You have to be thicker than a bowl of oatmeal not to pick up on the politics MGS was putting down. The game was influential in a young me getting into politics because I was intrigued by nuclear weapons and their implications, I learned about the START Treaty from this game.
I learned about the existence of DARPA from this game, it really is hard to understand how people could just think this game was just about a guy sneaking around in a box.
DARPA Chief?! Black project?!
...Metal Gear?!
Whenever I see DARPA I immediately hear the word "chief" in my head
Anytime I see basketball scores or highlights and Charlotte come up, I always hear "HORNETS?!"
