It's kind of silly that Venom doesn't say anything about it when he first sees her up close, but then again Venom doesn't say much of anything, to anyone, at any time.

Does Ocelet give it back? Because he takes it from her, which is why she shoots at him and the bullets whiz around him.

I was never sure whether that device Ocelot attributes to her luck powers is something he lifted off her or if it was something that he used to control her powers from afar. If she needed that little box on her person to cheat death all those years, surely she would be aware of it? Idk.. its a forever loose end

Somebodys theory in one of the MGSV threads was that GW reactivated Fortune's EM field to save the lives of Solid and Raiden (both so that they could be utilized in the future and so that the S3 plan could be completed). Ocelot going loopy wasnt part of their exercise, and that missile attack would have killed everyone in the area.

I really don't buy this. The whole point of that scene was that the Patriots weren't in total control of reality as they'd like everyone to think they were and Fortune's power was a genuine spanner in the works, if they only achieved anything because the Patriots let them it undercuts the main thrust of the story (taking control of your own life, rejecting authority, etc) and turns Fortune's death into a joke. Plus Liquid didn't take control of Ocelot until he was already trying to kill them either so bumping off Snake and Raiden was presumably okay with them too.

One of the few things I remember about MGS4 is that it completely ruined Vamp by revealing that he's not really Anime Dracula, but just a nano-machined up dude.
I don't know, its kind of cool how they turned the vampire trope back to basics: he's just a charismatic bisexual that really likes blood. Solid even makes fun of Raiden for thinking Vamp is short for vampire.

Reflex Mode and Aim Assist auto-snap, son.

He did almost get caught several times, but he's speedrunning. If you go 15-30 seconds slower you'll be just as successful and essentially impossible to stop unless you log in to defend the very instant they invade (otherwise they'll be at the core before you've even loaded in).

I felt kind of stupid because it took me way too long to realize that Quiet was the lady at the very beginning of the game. When they reveal that she was an XOF member burned at the hospital I just thought it was during the whole Man on Fire thing.

I didn't realise it either until her torture scene later when they said she was at the hospital so I went back and watched the intro again and also the saw the flower Miller was talking about and just went "oh kojima you past referential bitch"

Same exact thing happened to me.

I also didn't really realize that Huey was so despicable until I heard other people talk about it – I just kinda assumed that he was a weak nebbish dude that was always getting bossed around. I didn't like him that much, but I didn't realize he was actually an awful person until way after he got kicked off. I listened to the tapes, so I don't really know what my problem was.

And, as soon as I heard that Eli didn't match Boss's DNA, I immediately assumed that meant he wasn't Liquid rather than thinking something was up with Boss.

Basically, I'm a giant loving idiot when it comes to this game.

How big of a Metal Gear nerd are you? Because I think you need to be a bit pathological in that respect - and I readily cop to that - to see things like Venom Snake coming. If anything, the twist was a surprise in that it was the exact thing that had been telegraphed all along. Having incredible gameplay is a good strategy when your story is going to be meaningless or incomprehensible to everyone but the fans.

a) yes, The Boss Lebowski is amazing

b) yeah, that was basically the only let-down for me. I was expecting that the obvious twist was a misdirection or just the tip of the iceberg. The fact that it turned out to be exactly what it seemed like it would be from the first 10 minutes was a little disappointing. It doesn't make the story bad, it's just not what I had expected based on previous games ridiculous plot twists.

One thing that didn't help the twist was that Fat Miller streamer idiot doing everything he possibly could to spoil the twist in his videos without actually saying it several days before the game came out.
