I just read some trivia about skullface - apparently on the bonus bluray stuff, Kojima mentions we're supposed to feel "a phantom pain" once he's gone. It's funny, I felt "a phantom pain" missing a proper antagonist the whole game.

I thought he made fun of him for it because he tried a technique he only heard about, not the technique itself.
I always thought his surprise came about because he was actually trying it. "You're just asking for your gun to jam on you" or something like that.

Nah, he specifically says that trying a technique that he's only heard about right in the middle of the battlefield was a really dumb thing.

I forgot to post this forever ago but you know how they REALLY give away that you're not Big Boss early on? When you go out into the field fresh and your magazine is full but you hit reload and Venom puts an extra bullet in the chamber. This is the technique that Naked Snake made fun of Ocelot for trying back in MGS 3. The real Big Boss would never do that trick.

That isn't true at all. What Ocelot tried in MGS3 is completely different from what you're describing. When you start fresh in the field you put a mag into your AR and chamber one bullet. If you immediately reload with another 30 round mag then you drop the 29 bullets left in your current mag and end up with 31 available to fire (30 in the mag plus 1 in the chamber).

Most people wouldn't do this in the field because it's ridiculous to chamber a round and swap magazines just for one extra round but it takes almost no time and just one button press in MGS so it's easy to do when you're starting out. Big Boss doesn't have to fumble around with a bunch of partially-loaded magazines or anything so it doesn't matter when or where you reload.

Eli kills Ralph and drops Shabani's necklace down into the chlorine tank to foster dissent among the child soldiers. He needs a good smack on the jaw.

Pretty sure Ralph has enough common sense to say "hey guys maybe this isn't a great idea" when Eli talks about a revolution and attacking the adults on Mother Base, so Eli kills him.

I kinda wanted to wait on passing judgement on Huey because MGS is always full of twists, but I was perfectly fine with Ocelot slapping him around as soon as I heard "I'M A VICTIM! [because I lost the robot I built with your staff and resources]"

Mr. Hideo Kojima intentionally remade the same model for his Fox Engines and gave it a EU licence plate and the same number as a homage instead of re-using the existing one from Metal Gear Solid 4.

It is a new model. You can tell from the polygons and graphic shaders. The plate is the code to unlock chapters 3 and 5 but not 4.

I'd have loved if we got the Ishmael version of it, but that'd require diverting development time from Quiet's horrible storyline of plotholes and dumb poo poo.

They are now convinced that if they find zeros hq in new york IN REAL LIFE and infiltrate it, IN REAL LIFE, something will happen. I'm thinking 9 years locked away is what will happen.

My fav post in that thread is the guy who thinks just because skullface said "if someone finds it, there are dozens of ways in" is kojima giving him permission to trespass in real life. Sure that will hold up in front of a judge.

this really is the subreddit that just keeps on giving.
