Here is what I think.
You will find out the war is being run by the patriots who are really the owners of all fast food joints in the world who had come together to rule the world, and turn everyone into fry slaves. This is only the first step but the true goal is Mars, because thats the only place int he galaxy where you can get Radium 22 a rare ore they use to create the ultimate Metal Gear that can launch dark matter nuclear missiles to outside our galaxy, this will be Metal Gear Sanchez.
But right before you get to the end you find the true intentions that this was only a wild plot to give humans a decoy to fight against while the real evil lurks behind the curtain doing what ever it is necessary to complete their goals.
So while Snake is busy fighting Cyber-Scientologists, and robot beavers all the while trying to stop Metal Gear Sanchez from being completed he finds out that the whole things was masterminded by Uwe Boll to make the new Ninja Turtles movie, about pyromaniac Russians who find a love for Australia and want to raise rabbits.
So Snake finally stops Uwe in a massive boss battle that takes place atop the Eiffel tower, which got moved to Africa by Metal Gear Sanchez so they could use it as a giant broadcasting tower to send the movie to the far reaches of the universe. Uwe get kicked by Snake off the top and he falls being impaled on a elephant tusk, but attempts to escape because his cybernetic body given to him by the scientologists is able to keep him alive, but Raiden shows up to stop him, where Uwe grabs his balls thinking he had to be a woman before he dies.
Snake rides off into the sunset to parts unknown with Meryl because she has a thing for older men.

Legitimate question: if you have (what you reckon to be) a really innovative game idea with story, gameplay, gameworld and full mechanics of it all mapped out, what can you do with it?
Is this the same as movies? Copyright and pitch?
I'm concerned because the full concept and execution would probably command a AAA-budget, to be realistic, but I think it's a pretty fucking awesome game idea.

Now I want to play all the original GTA and GTA2 again :(
http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/17/prior-offenses-a-grand-theft-auto-retrospective/
I tried GTA once but it ran way too fast and I couldn't figure out how to fix that.
I've never tried GTA2 again since I played it the first time around, but it was fun. Weird but fun.

I don't get the hate for this game. There are some clunky parts, but running around the city is a blast and assassinating people is kind of challenging and interesting.
There were definitely some points at the beginning of the game where it was unskippable cutscene after unskippable cutscene that annoyed me, but once I stopped being in the (sue me for spoiling the first 10 seconds of the game) present every five minutes and I could just play the damn game it got really cool.
