Episode notes

"Metal Gear Solid after two is like the two versions of how Kojima approaches storytelling and games just constantly conflicting for the rest of the franchise," he says. "You really never know exactly what direction he's gonna go in and where he's gonna succeed and fail, but it will at the very least be fucking ballsy." He adds: "It is a real, in my opinion, a real tragedy how hard it is to play these games".

This week, we're joined by GameSpot's Tamoor Hussain to discuss the second installment in the Metal Gear Solid series. How well does the game's AI-controlled vision of the future match up with our own reality two decades later? Also, what's Raiden's whole deal? Like, what's he even DOING here?

Also discussed: Diablo IV beta, You Must Build a Boat, Destiny 2, Octopath Traveler 2, ForeTales, There is No Game: Wrong Dimension, Dark Souls 3, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Dredge
