there is so much stuff to parody in Metal Gear Solid: Kojima's weirdness, meta stuff, conspiracies and codec calls, but writers rolled with just some lazy box jokes.


There's more to it than just a box section. There's the whole issue with lights, the hilarious ineptitude of the guards, the fact that the evil version of the main character kills Miller, and that the boss fight is basically Revolver Ocelot, Vulcan Raven, and Sniper Wolf all rolled into one. Hell, even the speech evil Boss gives is Metal Gear-esque.

I'm finishing up the last homie recruitment mission, about how far into the main story am I? I have not started Emergency Situation yet.

Maybe four missions left. The final mission will have a warning text from Kinzie to complete any loyalty quests and a warning if you attempt to start it.

I have a question about the final mission.

If you select Pierce/Shaundi for the second stage, who is the guy that spawns when you clear Shaundi's platform? I didn't recognize him. Looks kind of dark-skinned, wearing a wide bandana and maybe short dreadlocks?

I think it's one of the generic Samedi goons that appears during the loyalty mission. For some reason they didn't have the Samedi wear green.

I was tooling around with the Genki Girls and decided to go ahead and start Asha's loyalty mission. I figured they'd get auto-dismissed as soon as it started.

I just about died laughing when I started driving away with the VIP and one of the Girls powerbombs through the car's window into the backseat and the other (the third was, in fact, dismissed and her spot taken by Asha) commandeers a car and starts following along with us.

My only real complaint with this game is that the radio stations all need like 20 more songs apiece, the repetition is even worse than actual radio stations.

It's in MGS1. You spend the whole game chatting with Miller, only for it to be revealed near the end that Miller was found dead in his home and had been so for a long time, and you were really talking to Liquid in disguise.

Sorry if it's been brought up but I did some searching and couldn't find it. Is there a mod that resets targets like Virus Uploads? I feel like doing that would make getting the kill X aliens with Y weapon challenges a lot more bearable.

Was it ever established in a previous game that the Saints like Jane Austen? I thought it was a one-off joke that a psychopath puckish rogue would read Pride & Prejudice, but after the post-credits scene, I wonder if I missed a running gag.

Yeah in my game I had Kinzie with me in that mission, which was funny since she was super powered at the time, so while your powers got turned off, her didn't and it was her constantly speeding around the streets while you drove in a car.

Troy Baker Boss admits to having read Jane Eyre 13 times at the end of The Third. Not written by Austen, true, but maybe The Boss digs works from female writers of the 18/19th century, as Keith David points out by their love of Austen.
