Abstract
This study analyzes the characters in the video game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and their observance or flouting of Grice’s Cooperative Principle in their dialogues,especially in narrative cutscenes. The study is guided by two primary questions: How do the characters in the cutscenes of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater apply Grice’s Cooperative Principle in their dialogues? How does the flouting of the maxims of quantity, quality, relation, and manner contribute to narrative development and player experience in the game? A qualitative descriptive approach is employed to gather and examine specific utterances from key scenes, emphasizing pragmatic strategies and thematic contexts. The results identifies how observed maxims support mission clarity and trust while flouting of maxims are intentional narrative devices rather than communicative failures. Characters flout maxims to convey psychological turmoil,ideological ambiguity, and emotional restraint, thereby strengthening central themes of loyalty, duplicity, and moral struggle. These floutings compel the player to deduce concealed meaning, rendering the dialogues a potent medium for narrative in digital media. Thus, maxim flouting in the game is not a failure of communication but a key storytelling device that enriches emotional and ideological depth. In conclusion, both observance and flouting of Grice’s maxims function as strategic elements in constructing a layered and emotionally resonant digital narrative.Keywords: Pragmatics, Cooperative Principle, Maxim Flouting, Narrative Strategy,Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Video Game Dialogue
