I know they're anti-war and anti-nuke, so there's that if nothing else.

    The whole series is fantastic, both politically and as games. People love to say the writing is lame, but it's actually really well thought out and researched. It's really rare to have an in depth leftist analysis of the military industrial complex in popular media, especially for video games.

    The US military spends a ton on video game contracts, and as a result it is rare for a mainstream AAA game to take on the military industrial complex. Even Spec Ops: The Line doesn't really go after the military as an institution. To my knowledge, Metal Gear is the only AAA game series that is explicity against the military industrial complex.
