The closest thing to it. Kinda like Luke in Star Wars. He's the special one that gets the most important plot points but really the point of the story is more about the group as a whole.

A fast casual restaurant, found primarily in the United States, does not offer full table service, but promises higher quality food than other fast food restaurants (with fewer frozen or processed ingredients).[1] It is an intermediate concept between fast food and casual dining, and usually priced accordingly. So did Hitler.

TopicWhy is Metal Gear Solid 2 the best game ever made?
DevsBro
09/21/17 12:38:41 PM
#20
It's not.

MGS2 is probably the most carefully and thoughtfully designed game of all time. But this actually works to its disadvantage as much as its advantage.

Kojima first announced that the game would be postmodern, a term shared by artists who put soup cans and urinals into museums knowing that the context of the museum and the prestige of the artist's signature will cause them to convince themselves that it is quality work when in fact it's really a worthless mess that doesn't belong in a museum and its s tsyement has nothing to do with the work itself.

It's a terrible idea to announce that this is the intention of your game before release, but the ironic thing is that hype remained high even through the announcement and players fell right into it just as hard if not harder.

And the game totally has its issues. It looks like good design but it actually makes for a frustrating experience. Guards are too smart. They'll surround you and flank you if you try to hide. They'll follow your blood trail if you're bleeding. They do regular status reports so you can't just kill them when they're in the way. They do a comprehensive search of your last kown location, including inside of vents after every alert phase. In most of the areas of the game, it's easier just to let them kill you than to try to lose them. Steut F has boxes that are obstacles instead of hiding places. Strut D has those stupid cornered balconies where enemies can see you from a different floor. And there's no reward either. The player goes to great lengths to accomplish his goals while Raiden regularly thwarts his efforts in the following cutscenes by hesitating or running away.

But even this was a misdirection as the entire game is extremely carefully designed. After the Tanker mission showed that the developers were fully capable of making a fantastic MGS2, they essentially start over, complete with tutorials on stuff we already saw tutorials on before we are thrown into this frustratingly overdesigned portion that will be the majority of the game. Then whole illusion that it thinks it's this fantastic masterpiece dissolves away near the end at precisely the time that it finally fills you in on exactly what it did there, that it did it on purpose, why and what real-world relevence this has to human psychology. It's extremely effective.

But effective and good are two different things. Being effective doesn't change the fact that all these problems still exist. It's an unrewarding, frustrting game. It's just one that makes a really good point.

They know what they are doing. It's all artificial. No company is in the business for 30 years and doesn't know that you should make more copies of something that a lot of people want

If they know what they're doing, then they're leaving money on the table on purpose, which they're not.

None of the above. Suspense films get me a lot more often than horror ones. But I'm not a particular fan of those either.

Both genres will have their fill of junp scares but beyond that, nothing really gets past my sense of illusion. However, with suspense films, a good director uses the proper techniques to make your body react with tension physically, which you can't really do anything about.
