No Basis In Reality

I was reading this story about the possibility of METAL GEAR SOLID 5 being a prequel. Okay, that sounds fine. However, this part made me laugh...

"There are some misunderstandings that this is the final Metal Gear game. But it's really the final chapter of the Solid Snake story. That's all."

"I'm happy we could wrap up Snake's story in MGS4," Payton stated earlier in the interview, continuing, "because it gets to the point where if we continue on with Metal Gear Solid 5 with more Solid Snake adventures, we'll get to the point where the game has absolutely no basis in reality. I do like the idea that this character has had four or five big missions and then that's when it ended, rather than have 20 missions where there's no chance in hell a secret agent could ever survive. He's had four or five really big missions, and that seems a little more realistic to me."

Did this guy forget everything about the other games in the series? Clones, gigantic robot weapons, psychics, a guy who controls bees, cyborg ninjas, and on and on. Those things are realistic?

Don't tell the people responsible for the twenty-plus James Bond movies that four or five missions should be the cap for a fictional spy.

I personally wouldn't mind seeing Solid Snake again. (Just don't keep him old.)
