I dunno, I don't see where the retarded part comes in. I still hold onto the fact that execution matters a lot when it comes to storytelling in games. You can get away with a lot of things if you pull it off right. I didn't find Lott or Lily annoying in GS, since they showed up like 3 times, and Lott was a pretty interesting character given the whole "superior people" indoctrination. They never gave it much attention though. So they were fine by themselves, but fuck their voices.
Are you saying the older main line games are better because they are more complex? Complexity doesn't really determine whether a story is good or not. Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots is complex. It is still a piece of shit.
Nobody's giving Sugimura more credit than he is due, just saying that they simply aren't that bad and the execution and direction seems to hurt the series storylines more than the scripts. You think a creature with an electrical current is stupid, I pointed out how it's perfectly fine, you still think it's stupid. I personally don't understand your annoyance with that in a series where "genetic experimentation" can cause a salamander or a human to grow to mountain size or someone can have literally no mouth or throat yet still speak clearly... and with a virus that is known to completely destroy the host's brain cells.
I find all of the scenarios enjoyable as a single mythology. I don't view them as much as singular stories. That's probably where we differ.
