Metal Gear Solid 3 Is Hideo Kojima’s Masterpiece – Episode 228

Kept You Waiting, Huh?

In an effort to course correct from Metal Gear Solid 2, Hideo Kojima goes outside of the box and brings us Metal Gear Solid 3 on the Playstation 2. MGS 3 foregoes the complex sci-fi narrative of MGS 2 to give us a straight forward story about when the lines between duty and honor get blurred. Join us as we deep dive discuss what is quite possibly Hideo Kojima’s magnum opus.
