Poll of the Day > What families can discuss about Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

(+) Yeah! (+)

-Families can talk about the impact of violence in media such as Metal Gear Solid V. Is there a justification for content such as realistic warfare or torture? Does the inclusion of this content add weight to the philosophical arguments raised in the game, or is it solely for shock value?

-Talk about revenge. Is there ever a justification to seek revenge? Why?

-Have you ever realized you did something wrong that hurt others? What did you do to make amends?

Here's a similar section on what to bring up when talking to kids about MGS3:


Families can talk about post-World War II Soviet-U.S. relations and cultural climate that era created. Why is this period such a popular setting for books, movies, and games? Families can also discuss whether Snake can really be seen as a hero. What are his flaws? What messages do those flaws send to players?
