14 Incredible Video Game Stories You'll Never Stop Discussing

3. Metal Gear Solid

Metal Gear's story is often labelled as needlessly convoluted, and although it's definitely true that creative overseer Hideo Kojima likes to mould his baby into a variety of different freakish contortions depending on whatever's going through his mind at the time, it hasn't stopped each title being a rollocking ride from start to finish. Highlights from part one include finding out the true identity of a certain codec caller who you can interact with to throughout, and especially when all is said and done in MGS 3 we challenge you not to be reaching for the tissues during those final revelations. Say what you like about how over-stuffed each plot-thread has become, in the end it's the intent to entertain that shines through on every release.
