Question: Do you think MGS2's themes and ideas are actually still relevant?

One of the best and worst compliments someone can pay a piece of downer/dystopian Sci-Fi is to say that it still holds up - or worse, has become more relevant with time. Sons of Liberty absolutely achieves this criteria. I agree with Departed on Peace Walker's continuation of the themes, but I think that was just one of many facets of that story. So much of MGS2 gels together thanks to the themes of truth, freedom, and the manipulation of both.
