Did People Care About The Boss?

[BigBrother]

See, I think this is the heart of it for me. MGS3 in a vaccum is fine? There's a version of this post that was something along the lines of 'MGS3 ruined MGS'. I'm not sure that's quite right - if MGS3 existed by itself it'd be fine. The issue is, for the rest of the series to link back to MGS3 - it relies on the story, and that central relationship, being exquisitely crafted and really special.

Which...I mean the Boss is fine enough - but she as a character, and her relationship with BB, wasn't portrayed in such a way that it as worthy to have the entire series re-centred around it. That's where I think there is a strong argument that the legacy of MGS3 is absolute chaos. Also an argument that Konami choosing to remake 3 with that said is very fucking Konami. Yeah, we'll remake 3 and not the original...
