My suspension of disbelief is challenged only in certain instances or when I feel like being a smartass.
The MGS series is of special note here. In each installment, they up the realism of the combat engine, eliminating unrealistic but fun devices like instant-heal rations and a motion detector--neither of which I had any problem with--on the grounds tha they're not realistic enough. Yet at the same time, the plot becomes more ridiculous. Undead bisexual Gypsy? Check. 105-year-old super sniper? Check. Living bee swarm? Check. Those are fine, but not instant-heal rations, oh no--too unrealistic.
As for Dr. Wily, the trick is that he's really just rebuilding the castle over and over again, on the same spot using the same parts (mostly the giant metal skull left over from Dia De Los Muertos 1985). It's the perfect plot--who would ever expect such a move?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
