I am okay with dark, the horrible scenes was not a deal breaker for me on their own, but they are so sexualised that it just makes me sick.
And this is metal gear, the game with a biseuxal vampire that blocks bullets by dancing, photosynthetic snipers and cyborg ninjas! It should be camp and over the top and funny as hell. Not.. This!
The sad thing is that I get what he was going for. Metal gears message always was that war is hell and that it ruins lifes.. But geez! I am playing games to be entertained, not cry myself to sleep!
The road between dark and horribly sick and gut wrenching is usually very long, though it becomes a interestingly short leap in Kojimas hands. One could say he skipped entire sections of the morality meter. Going straight from "Ooh, edgy" too "AHH! Dig out my eyes!".

Say what now?
I almost didn't believe the bit Yahtzee said about the bomb surgery and had to verify it on YouTube for myself, and now you're telling me there's a gangrape? What the hell is going on in this crazy-ass game?
Don't forget the child rape, as in forcing a 13 year old boy to rape his 25 year old friend.
Then mentally crushing them both to do it willingly.
Then more rape. And a bit more, and more..
And so on and so on.
