He's there for the whole thing but he's never actually the protagonist because he's always just someone's puppet
Perhaps he only exists to propel big boss's genes to the future

Konami should definitely get kojima back to figure out the raquel welch/orangutan/spaceship part of metal gear

moderately annoying

I like that almost all of the units in BAR look like the OTA ones filtered through a different art style and and have similar but different names. And then the basic T3 bots are almost 1:1 a Vulture, Owns and Catapult. The Catapult is even just named Catapult.

Why go through all of that effort to be off brand TA and then just rip poo poo from Battletech

the first 6 metal gear games were pretty on track building a world and characters

metal gear
metal gear 2
metal gear solid
metal gear solid 2
metal gear solid 3
metal gear solid portable ops

and then metal gear solid 4 kinda hosed around too much with Naomi Vamp Meryl... the beauties... and especially Zero/Cypher. But the ocelot stuff was good

Peace Walker (do over of portable ops)
Rising: Reveangance
Ground Zeros

all good. and then metal gear solid V which was a real mixed bag narratively but mostly bad. except ocelot again and Kaz I guess. Liquid and psycho mantis that's ok maybe. best gameplay tho it needed more bases

Is portable ops worth checking out? I've been going through peace walker again on the deck and having a great time with it, definitely open to another smaller metal gear

it has a top tier song and some good boss fights. worth checking out/emulating. the ppssppss emulator thing i think even has working multiplayer for it and some upscaling/higher texture patches?

iirc it is worse than peace walker gameplay wise but also has the recruitment mechanic, but without fulton so you have to drag people off the levels. its good to play it first since peace walker is a refinement and more zany.

Peace walker was basically made to replace it because kojima didn't direct portable ops and also kojima's kid was making fun of him for not inventing monster hunter

storywise it has a few characters return from mgs3 and it shows how Campbell and Frank Jaeger (Grey Fox (Cyborg Ninja)) met Big Boss

Ocelot works for big boss, naked snake, liquid, solidus and the Patriots simultaneously. Then he lies about using self hypnosis because he's ashamed he got possessed by a ghost

Feb 12, 2011

he's not possessed he just bullshits himself because he's already upset that his one true love Big Boss is beyond his reach

I actually haven't really bought anything from a major Steam Summer/Winter sale in a few years. they've been kinda weak compared to the glory days of Steam coal circa 2011

When Fallout 76 launched the mic was hot by default. You couldn't change the settings till you were done with character creation, so it was just me and another guy unexpectedly speaking to each other for like 20 minutes while I was making my dude. His girlfriend said hi over the mic. It was surreal. Then I played the videogame and like chatted 3 times total over a 120 hr playthrough.

76 is so loving baffling because it has all these coop and pvp things set up but like, the game servers were max 14 people and the map was fallout map sized, so you would literally never see someone except if you cruised into a world event and even then it wasn't a guarantee
