Playing through MGS V, I fucking love this series and this game but ngl, I can’t help but think so much of MGS is nonsense, which I’m totally fine with.
But I haven’t really done a deep dive into the story or it’s commentary, so it’d be cool if someone more uhh analytically inclined could explain this shit to me if it’s worth explaining.
Edit: really cool to play in Afghanistan, not cool to be killing Soviet soldiers
MGSV’s secret event ending is really fuckin’ cool and adjacent to the series’ overarching politics. i’ll spoil tag it but note it doesn’t weigh in on the main plot all that much

you’re able to break in to each other’s bases as part of the multiplayer component and steal resources and staff, but also nukes. should the community come together and focus on stealing and disarming every single nuke from everyone else, aka the total amount of nukes hit zero, you unlock the nuclear disarmament event where your efforts of forcibly removing nukes from the world is celebrated. iirc this has never been triggered naturally due to people hoarding nukes
