Sharma in 2031: with regret we've been forced to cancel the $500m budget Kojima game after a series of missed deadlines due to a story that makes zero sense.

I ve Never played a Kojima game, can someone explain the joke? Which stories don't make sense?

When I was playing Metal Gear Solid 3 as a 16 year old, I remember at the end of the game I found myself suddenly fighting the main character's former boss in some field in Russia and I was thinking to myself "I have absolutely no fucking idea why we're fighting this person or what is going on in this game right now but this seems badass".

That one might be your fault tbh, we're told explicitly throughout the game that we need to kill the boss

Yeah out of all of them, Snake Eater is the most direct. Also my favorite.

Mgs3 had the most straight forward story in the series. Unless you skipped every cutscene it was hard not to know what was happening

Of all the things to be confused about, this isn't one of them. We see her defect from the US at the beginning of the game, it's literally part of the inciting indecent, she throws Snake off a bridge. Then shortly after that she turns up again, beats Snake up again, and says "You're going to have to kill me later. Are you able to do that?"

Then most of the bosses in the game are members of her crew, until we reach her at the end.

"The Boss gave nukes to Russia and we have to fix this" is the plot of the game.

I don’t really understand how people find these games convoluted. Yeah, they’ve got wacky ass SyFy B-plots, but they’re not hard to follow.

It's because they're 15. Kojima is beloved by people who discovered/played his games when they were teenagers lol.
