10 Crazy Facts You Just Have To Accept To Enjoy Metal Gear Solid

10. It Will Make You Feel Like A Pervert

Few games can make you feel as dirty or sleazy as Metal Gear Solid, with the series featuring a range of questionable moments and bizarre sexual references. Many have noticed this trend increasing as it went on, but even the original game is full of weird, sexually-charged moments. 'Butt shots' tend to feature heavily throughout (camera angles which focus on a character's rear end) and pretty much every female character wears something skimpy and inappropriate at one time or another. Metal Gear Solid 2 is full of posters of female underwear models too, which give some great moments; such as calling helper Otacon while looking at one of them ending in a hilarious conversation about the mission you're supposed to be on. Plus, they distract guards, so they actually have a gameplay purpose too. Of course, the most infamous moment of all comes in Metal Gear Solid 2: Having been rescued by the effeminate Raiden, the President's first act is to grab his crotch, apparently to determine if Raiden is a woman - because, well, how else would you tell? The crotch grab has since become a common feature in the series - it's just one of those things that simply cannot be explained with a straight face.
