So do all protagonists in MGS games have some sort of PTSD/brain damage/schizophrenia and most of the shit are just hallucinations? Or are the games really so goofy and stupid?

ACTION MOVIE: ACTION MOVIE SUBTITLE plays like a parody of a lot of 1980s and 1990s action films.

MGS 1 to PW are supposed to be silly
MGSV has a more mature tone but uses Venom's hallucination to include more ridiculous shit in the game

Naked Snake - radiation exposure from at least 3 atomic bomb detonations.
Venom Snake - traumatic brain injury, recovering from a long coma
Solid Snake - Gulf War Syndrome, genetic degradation due to cloning
Raiden - Child soldier in a civil war (which I think got his parents killed?), mentally trained & conditioned in espionage via extensive VR simulations of Shadow Moses (ie. constantly replaying MGS1).
Metal Gear Survive protag - lived through watching their base & comrades destroyed overnight, lost their arm, infected with a zombie virus.
Solid Snake (Metal Gear Acid) - Double-reverse brainwashing
So, yeah, they're all messed up in some way.

No, they're not hallucinating for the most part. The antagonists are just that bizarre. You're basically fighting people with superpowers using a knife and punches

Kojima has a schizophrenic relationship with the paranormal. Dude can't go a game without "teehee is supernatural or not? also it was all nanomachines oops it wasnt teehee" His lack of any sort of commitment to any concrete answers is frustrating. He can go from dead serious discussion of philosophy to "HAHA I PUT VIDEO UP IN THE CORNER" with next to no transition. I know for a fucking FACT Japanese directors don't normally mood whiplash like that. He just does that shit because Konami originally had next to no actual oversight on keeping kojima in control

I just assume everything in the games happens as a fact, because kojima is enough of a kook to just make everything real. That whole "ACKSHUALLY IT WAS YOUR MIND MAKING IT UP" is a tired ass cliche
