First I would like to say that I love MGS2. One of my favorites in the series, chief reason being the story and character development, but looking at it with the \\\"Shaggy Dog Story\\\" definition...
That game definitely qualifies. MGS2\\\'s plot in the long run, for the protagonist, was a complete waste of time. For the bad guys, it was a total success, but for our hero it was nothing short than a long winded anti climactic conclusion to an ultimately pointless mission. The entire mission was a set up by The Patriot AI, more so than any other MGS game because this time The Patriots had direct interventions and speaking to him directly instead of working through a proxy. The setting itself, the special forces unit Dead Cell that served as antagonists, scenarios, and even the main lead\\\'s love interest were all a massive facade for the purpose of recreating the events of the first game; so they can collect battle data, determine if they can manipulate belief, and train someone on par with Solid Snake. In the words of the AI itself, \\\"The exercise was a resounding success.\\\"
The main heroes (including Solid Snake, who at one point seemed to outsmart The Patriots by stealing a disk which revealed their identity) gained and won next to nothing. They had immense personal losses. Raiden felt extremely violated and used by the missions end, with his mind unraveling around everything he thought he believed and knew. Otacon loses his sister, who is killed after they barely make up for 10 years of absence, and Solid Snake fails to stop Liquid Ocelot.
Just when the player things Snake got the upper hand with that optic disc, it turns out in the \\\"After Credits\\\" scene that the Patriots had already been dead for 100 years. And in MGS4 it turns out that all the data in that disk was \\\"a load of crap.\\\"
So, does MGS2 make the cut to go on the page? This is just my case for it, this is not what I want to put on the page. The entry would be much more brief and concise.
