A weee babe! I remember playing the MGS1 demo a billion times on my PS1 when I was somewhere around that age. It’s kinda hard to get past the simplicity of everything compared to later games so it’s not surprising you didn’t play it. Course, I had no other options so that made it easy.
I will mock metal gear and Kojima endlessly now but playing that first game and especially 2 as a kid are absolutely responsible for me being a communist now.
Ah, played them on release day aside from MGS1. Playing MGS2 right after 9/11 as a twelve year old was absolutely instrumental to my life. Trying to make sense of that led me to studying philosophy and theory at a super young age
huge soviet military installations in the game and fultoning these highly trained soldiers
That's not really the vibe I get from their depiction of the Soviets. Ignoring OKB Zero, which isn't really Soviet, the biggest military installation there is a base with three concrete hangars, one of which is caved in. It's not exactly Bagram Airfield over here.
And I'm not entirely sure how the soldiers skills work, but I'm pretty sure I find higher skill soldiers in Africa than Afghanistan.

Kojima learned world history from American action movies

Hey, he accidentally managed to do a genius postmodernism while knowing jack shit about it with MGS2. Land of contrasts

As a counterpoint, I was a libertarian for a very long time even while playing 1 through 3. I’m not very smart though.
I was like, 9 or 10 when I played the first one.
I was somewhere in my worker ‘trying to understand the contradictions of capital’ phrase while playing MSGV, myself.

Play 1. 2 almost relies on you having done that.

Well, play it if you get the chance

It's based on your general progress/online bullshit, don't think the location should make a difference.
