Ghost possession was a thing in MGS2, MGS5 had Magic Parasite Bullshit, so yes psionics were the most believable power in the canon.

gently caress, MGS3 had a man create a working tommy gun out of living bees, a russian astronaut turn into the worlds angriest fire ghost, and quite loving literally everything about Volgin. Really, I think the only reason Snake is in disbelief about psionics is because it isn't anywhere near bullshitty enough to be believable to him.

That all happened to Naked Snake (Big Boss) not to Solid Snake.

Yeah I'm aware, but still. If anything that means this super weird bullshit is older than Snake.

What's fun about Metal Gear is it looks like a fairly serious, realistic, military-based combat game, and then you play it and realize it's deep into absurdist fantasy soap opera territory.

Even the characters initially without any fancy bullshit powers have stupid fancy bullshit, like Ocelot. Before he has a ghost arm he can aim guns so the bullets ricochet off a wall into people he can't even see. He's also a double triple quadruple who the gently caress knows how many people he's currently backstabbing agent.

Ocelot coming back from the dead just to gently caress with everyone's plans would have been an interesting third-act twist in MGR.

Ocelot reveals he's back from the dead because Senator Armstrongs nanomachines are powered by Ocelot's pacemaker and his ghost has possessed him now.

gently caress it, dumber things have happened in MGS.

Metal Gear Acid wasn't an accidental name.
