10 Times Metal Gear Solid Went Too Far

Poor Otacon.

In the original Metal Gear Solid, Otacon has fallen in love with Russian badgirl Sniper Wolf, apparently on the basis that she must be a good person... because she likes dogs. Minutes later, his new bestie Solid Snake guns her down right in front of him at the climax of a deadly battle.

Grab the tissues, son.

Metal Gear Solid 2 attempts to up the sad Otacon ante by introducing his sister, only for Vamp to kill her like an hour later.

There's also some sort of weird sub-plot about Otacon diddling his step-mother, and when his dad found out he drowned himself in the family swimming pool.

All the tragedy becomes too much for poor Otacon, and he cries for like four cut-scenes in a row. It goes on and on and on. It actually becomes kinda funny after a while. There's a parrot involved for some reason. And then him and Snake have a badass high five before they go to save the day.

That bit is rad, but everything before it needs sinking to the bottom of the sea.
