Big Mama was jumping into open flames to get ahold of his half dead torso and she had no contact with him for decades. Ocelot mindcontrols himself into thinking he got possessed by his arm so that he can perfectly play the role he needs to to make BB's dream come true. If Ocelot was in Eva's position and needed to kill himself to continue the plan you just know he'd gladly set himself on fire while clutching BB's corpse to his chest to fulfil his role. He wouldn't even think twice about it.

jerkstoresup posted:Did Huey intentionally let Skull Face destroy MSF? I know everything he does afterwards is crazy, but it seemed like he had naively good intentions for the nuclear inspection. Yeah, he wasn't happy about MSF having a nuke, so he sold MSF out in exchange for his safety. Its why Dr. Strangelove left the base just before the attack happened.

I might be misremembering but wasn't Huey gung-ho about ZEKE having a nuke in PW? Also, I cannot believe that ZEKE wasn't recovered at some point during the game. They went through the effort to recover the broken, gibbering Peace Walker pod by draining Lake Nicaragua but left the fully intact and presumably preserved ZEKE on the sea floor? What a shame.

I think the greatest missed chance [ what make's thu biggest phantom pain , ha ha] was nobody took advantage of this 9/11 conspiracy thing by making funny pictures and videos like as such : • this is pequad , arriving shortly at lz *cuts to plane enter building 1* • this is peequad , i cant land here *enters building 1* • a good twist might of been that , and i know that the part of when he says hes not going to bury them at sea is good , but imagine it was a twist that big boss venom or big boss had been a part of the pakistan attack to kill bin laden , and actually the twist is that he is saying to bin laden *after "saving him"*, i wont bury ur sorrow to the hartless see . i will always be with you. and bin laden becomes noe of the new members for diamond dogs or what its called in when that happens to this time's line • maybe the plane misses pentagon because solidus is the presadent ?

Which, if Huey really was the traitor, is probably true since Huey'd have otherwise gotten them to salvage it. Anime Schoolgirl posted:He didn't. He hypno-comaed Venom. Ocelot said he was going to do it to himself too, but in such a way that he'd remember the real Boss when the time came. It's in the "Adam/John" tape you get at the end.

swamp waste posted:I'm sorry to interrupt whatever this is but I just saw the ending and I liked it. I felt that the point was that you, the player, become Big Boss, by being assigned his past and taking on his future, as a very literal expression of the idea of playing a video game character. It makes the lore a lot gnarlier but i value the experience more than the lore, which has never 100 percent made sense anyway. In an attempt to be meta I called my guy David and made him look as much like Snake as I could, and so ended up somewhat more confused than I needed to be.

Jake Snake posted:I finished this game last night. Absolutely loved the twist, though the emotional impact Kojima was trying to create really flat for me, because I am a woman. I know video games in general ignore female gamers, so really MGS isn't much worse than any other AAA title, but I wish they had taken the fact that a woman might be playing the game into a little more consideration. I don't know what the solution could be though, because it would probably bring up way more issues if the player character had to go through a forced sex change (the identity change is plenty hosed up already). However, I definitely got the message, which is the important thing I guess. I was wondering what female players would think of this, yeah. It's so different from any real life transgender story that it probably would have been okay, but maybe they didn't want to open that can of worms anyway. Or maybe they genuinely didnt consider that women would play this.

Also the gently caress is going on here, that sure does look like the boss's snake scar but the rest is clearly paz. Confirmed to be in game files. Also chapter 3: peace. Could be where most of the cut stuff was. https://www.reddit.com/r/metalgearsolid/comments/3klvn0/mgsv_spoilersa_certain_model_found_in_the_game/ Edit: looks like you can play as the boss in mgo.

Or maybe they genuinely didnt consider that women would play this. Yeah, it's not that much of a big deal to me anyway, since I'm pretty much always getting into a game with the mindset that the intended audience most likely is not someone like me. Big Boss's "you are me" speech just kind of drove home the fact more than usual. Like I said though, I can't think of a good way to resolve that issue without bringing in more complications/drama. It had to be a character Kiefer Sutherland could voice for the twist to work. It would have been extremely difficult to pull that off if they tried to be more gender inclusive. Also, has anyone seen this? (Upper right corner): http://i.imgur.com/6YmnREP.png Someone supposedly ripped it from MGSV. Found it here: https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1443449&page=10 Could be fake just to stir up more  though.edit: dammit^

i was joking but... 1984 is track 9/11 on diamond dogs however the "big boss" song on that album is the track immediately after 1984: Big Brother which starts 1984 seconds into the album: https://youtu.be/CvgqWO_TgP0?t=1984 can't outfox me kojima

Dumb question: I only ever played the first two MGS games, and a long time ago at that. I barely remember anything from MGS2 but I remember it taking place on a series of oilrig things or something. Am I right to assume that the setting for MGS2 is the "Mother Base" I'm building in 5?

What saddens me In a series full of parallels they didn't do boss/big boss one very well. Bosses turn to the dark side was pressed upon her and she acted for noble reasons, in the end her protégé arrives and she continues to mentor him in a weird antagonistic way until he defeats her. In a game that supposedly brings the series full circle I'd want to see that plot mirrored in some way. This to me should have been a game about establishing outer heaven, not some insignificant other base in the ocean, Solid should have featured and if the back end had some of the bosses "actually I expect you to win but I'm gonna fight my hardest" element? Gravy. Also i want the series to close out with the kind of mad explosion of fanservice and madness 4 did. The plot was horrid, but I expect that from mgs. More than that though it was a send off, an actual goodbye to characters I'm invested in for some mad reason. Jesus we even saw meryles horrible wedding. These might be like, the obvious choices, but surely at this point that's earned?

No, although apparently the offshore construction technology is very advanced in the Metal Gear Solid universe and allows for platforms to be constructed very quickly.

I think that the fact that we know that all of the major characters die and that we know when and how kind of prevents the same kind of montage of endings as MGS4. Big Boss dies, Zero dies, Miller dies, Ocelot dies, Huey dies, Eli dies, Mantis dies. The only one whose fate is unknown is Codetalker but who cares about him.

I don't think the send off needs to be happy. I did expect characters like Eva and zero and maybe even the other founding patriots to feature. Zero in this game is particularly bad to me. He's not just sidelined, the conflict between those two was a pretty interesting idea and after not getting to ever see it now we see zero rendered crap and neutered.

Zero was a shithead who probably only believed in the boss in the first place due to Big Boss. Ultimately all of the groups that formed because of The Boss were terrible for the world as a whole regardless of their methods.
