3. The System Is Liquid Ocelot's
My first playthrough of MGS4 was wonderful. It was one of those games that amazed me at nearly every turn. The graphics, the dialogue, the core gameplay, the music - just about everything was better than anything else I'd played up to that point. What amazed me the most though - and this is something that divides gamers over MGS more than anything else - were the cutscenes. In particular, there was one scene that just absolutely blew me away. It was like watching an action movie, only better - there was a real sense of helplessness in one way but total awe at the same time. The scene in question, of course, is the one where Liquid Ocelot puts on a show of almost God-like power (due to his control over people's nanomachines), and pretty much single-handedly annihilates an entire enemy force. It is both cool as hell and a little bit silly, and quite justifiably a total WTF moment.
