METAL GEAR SOLID 2 (2001)
The ending.
Seriously, we haven't got a clue. Something about the President of the Internet fighting his gay son's clone with a dead man's arm and a pregnant lady in a mech tells the real or maybe fake Snake that he has to get to New York before the anniversary of George Washington's inauguration... or the terrorists win.
If you want a real attempt at summarizing this nonsense, go here. Our head hurts just watching the condensed and edited footage below.
Huh?!
The whole game is like this. In fact, the plot synopsis on Wikipedia is over 2000 words long, includes four subsections, contains almost 70 reference links and still doesn't make a damn lick of sense. So why single out the ending?
Because millions of trusting and loyal fans believed that the ending would justify their patience with the rest of the game. They diligently memorized every detail, followed every twist, profiled every character and accepted every philosophical rant in the vain hope that it would all come together somehow in time for the credits.
It didn't... it only got worse... and Metal Gear Solid's reputation as the definitive WTF franchise was sealed.
