Electric Phantasm posted:Paying loads of money to find out why Mickey wasn't wearing a shirt that one time and how this one superboss has a cape. I've never played any KH game but I'm just going to assume the explanation for both of these is the superboss stole mickey's shirt

I do want to know when the hell I'm going to be able to get/build a new trike, tho As soon as I got access to one in ep2, I lost it Skyrimming my way across a ridge to the east as a shortcut to the capital. I made it; trike didn't  (e) homeless snail posted:mgs2 is the one that makes more sense than any of them in 2020, because every aspect of speculative fiction in that game came true

mgs2 wikipedia summary posted:Arsenal crashes into Manhattan. Raiden is contacted by an AI impersonating the Colonel and Rose. It states that GW was the only AI destroyed, and that the S3 Plan's real purpose is to control human thought to prevent society's regression in the digital era from trivial information drowning knowledge and truth. oof lol

Does Fortune have psychic powers? Are ghosts real? Why does covering people in squids make them ideal operators for camouflaged suits? Metal Gear is great and all, but they never decided if magic is real or not.

wuggles posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XnIl4U4T1M&t=338s lmao My favorite factor of the KH story is how completely pedestrian the story of KH1 is if you ignore the coats of licensed paint over it. "Boy forced from his home must save his friends and homeland from evil forces, must defeat someone close to him who has been taken by said forces" is loving Star Wars for goodness sake. All the insanity after KH1 was Nomura choosing to repeatedly write himself into and then out of corners, and I respect the hell out of his commitment.

kingdom hearts also suffers from some of the worst voice direction in big-budget rpg's. the script is bad but could still be tolerable if most of the actors didn't sound like they were reciting their lines without context, in a cellar, after a weeklong fast, at gunpoint

haveblue posted:Magic is not real but nanomachines are I liked it better when Fortune's powers, for example, were kept vague and might have actually been real at the end. Mystic Mongol posted:Are ghosts real? I think ghosts are real in the Metal Gear universe because they're part of one of the supernatural elements that happen before nanomachines are a thing in-universe. The Sorrow is in MGS3, and that's pre-nanomachines, so any of the magic in that is actually magic and not super-tech. Same for the End's photosynthetic abilities.

Kerrzhe posted:that one guy could control bees somehow Makes sense to me. The Boss's squad was made up entirely of people who invented new forms of modern warfare. Special Ops, Sniping, and setting bombs in the jungle all caught on. Being covered in bees, being set on fire, and dying didn't. Harrow posted:I liked it better when Fortune's powers, for example, were kept vague and might have actually been real at the end. So did all the ghosts get killed by nanomachines?

there's absolutely spirituality in metal gear, which sometimes is expressed as paraspirtuality where there's a rational explanation for things people put faith into, but sometimes there isn't. fortune is all about that

My favorite audiotape in MGSV is the one where they explain why the Metal Gear was called Sahelanthropus even though it's taking place before the Sahelanthropus fossil was discovered in the real world... Thanks, Patriots

wuggles posted:imagine writing that in 2001 and nailing it death stranding is kinda similar in that it's making some pretty obvious critiques about the atomization of society but the timing of the release of that game is nuts. it took like 6 years for most people at large to even begin to make the turn on mgs2s story from being obtuse garbage to prescient, where DS was already pretty believable at release before it became actual reality 4 months later

C-Euro posted:how completely pedestrian the story of KH1 is The greatest travesty to me is the bad guy going from "the good guy you're searching for is actually the one who decided to end the universe for science" to "actually they're two different people, and the bad one's actually an amnesiac who used to be a good guy possessed by a bad guy who used to pretend to be a good guy and before that he used to be a good guy until he decided all was predetermined and was visited by his secret future self who gave him time travel powers to set up his plot but then he forgot about that, but actually he was manipulated by the real bad guy all along". wuggles posted:I think the plot of KH is self-consistent Nah. Like, KH2FM and Days make a big thing of teasing that Xemnas is searching for the secret room in Castle Oblivion, only to accidentally establish in BBS, the next game and the one that explains why, that it's impossible for him to have known about it, so they had to make 0.2 just to set up a way for him to be told about it.
