10 Divisive Video Game Endings Nobody Agrees On
2. Metal Gear Solid 2
To say that the plot of Metal Gear Solid 2 - or any of them for that matter - is 'complicated', is an understatement. Series creator Hideo Kojima is notorious for filling the games with his own personal brand of insanity, and the most extreme example of this is probably the second games ending.
In a nutshell, it is incredibly convoluted to the point where a significant percentage of gamers were destined to be left confused and unsure of what is going on. For those that love creator Hideo Kojimas style and can decipher the method in his madness, it can all be extremely enthralling, but for anyone on the opposing side, everything comes across as polarising, to say the least. Youll find just as many people claiming this ending to be pure nonsense, as you will those proclaiming its brilliance.
In a way, Metal Gear Solid 2s ending is a microcosm of the overall series. It appeals to enough people to create a long-running franchise, but many just do not understand it and likely never will.
