This is the uber answer.>Japanese-only>conceived by the famed artist Osamu Sato that you've never heard of>based on an employee's dream diary>entire design philosophy was for it to be the anti-game that reflects the human psyche>released with a soundtrack and a book of excerpts from the dream diary>very limited release>considered one of the most experimental games of all time>game is actually just randomly generated bullshit thrown in the player's face until they get bored

mgs2 is pretentious but it's also a pretty straight forward conspiracy thriller, lots of the twists and stingers you'd expect of that sort of story. I understood the hate of raiden and other japanese gayness but I never really got people being so miffed with the game's story overall.
