Unless you've been living under a rock for the last twenty years or so, you'll have heard of the legendary Metal Gear Solid series. Undoubtedly, someone you know will have gushed to you about its greatness for hours on end while you sit there and struggle to understand everything coming out of their mouths - that's the MGS effect. It's definitely a series that needs to be played; words simply cannot do it justice. Not only does it create intense, atmospheric stealth gameplay - it also has a sprawling epic story which ties together a number of plot threads at once with lengthy, movie-like cutscenes creating memorable moments throughout. Intriguingly, Metal Gear isn't bound by realism. Instead, somewhere in development, creator Hideo Kojima decided to forego convention and simply allowed himself to make Metal Gear as bonkers as possible. As a result, it doesn't always initially make a lot of sense, but there's always something exciting happening or developing in front of you. In fact, it's probably that crazy, over-the-top nature which has endeared it to fans so much over the years. The crazy side of Metal Gear Solid simply has to be embraced and this article is here to help. These ten facts are examples of the ridiculous world of Metal Gear Solid and they are simply things you'll have to get used to (and perhaps even enjoy) in order to fall in love with the series.
I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
