8 Controversial Topics That Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain Could Tackle

Prisoner Executions

Death is inevitable in war. And most of the times, it takes a brutal form. The Phantom Pain’s trailer shows enough hideous deaths of captives to make you wince. One of the most heart wrenching sequence is when Punished Snake gives diamonds to captive children and then supposedly guns them down. As many theories as we may form about how Snake is NOT killing those children, the game has enough elements to point out that we will witness some gruesome killings, and a lot of bodies that are going to be laid to rest will be that of children.

Prisoners have been executed time and again, and we have our history to point that out for us, the point is, how is The Phantom Pain going to tackle this treacherous ground, with already so much criticism that revolves around prisoners and their treatment.
