Big Boss (and David Hayter) go nuclear in YongYea's fan-made Metal Gear Solid 3 video. It was made to match the emotional E3 trailer of MGSV as closely as possible and we can't say he didn't succeed.
There's really no getting around it: many, many games are about violence, and sometimes it can be a bit much. Kill this, kill that, kill this until it all feels the same, like mowing a lawn or stomping an anthill. We've written a ton about it. But violence can also be incredibly powerful and interesting.

In Metal Gear Solid 3, there are a few points where Ocelot hits the ridiculous button and spends an eternity spinning pistols like a cowboy in a beret. It looks too crazy to be able to pull off in real life, right?

Sometimes, the obsession with guns in video games gets ridiculous. So we're celebrating acts of "gunfusion." The entertaining Metal Gear Solid series is gun-crazy. (It is!) Here's the ultimate more-detail-than-necessary discussion of a gun, from MGS3, at the four-minute mark.
