Hooray, I've finally caught up to this. Looking forward to the continuing adventures of Worst Soldier Snake. You know, their plan to hang out at Shadow Moses Island and take on the world is pretty terrible. The advantage of a walking nuclear tank that can launch from anywhere is kind of defeated when you decide to stay in one small location. Then other countries can just nuke you right back.

LashLightning posted:I think it's more that the US isn't meant to have the Metal Gear, and revealing that would severely harm it's reputation. The Metal Gear, the nuke, the genome soldiers - everything on the island is a big list of things it has told the UN it doesn't have. Oh sure, the screwing over the US part is fine. I'm talking about his plan starting about here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXdsplYASCk&t=1630s "We'll get some extra Russian soldiers and just dig in right here to take on the world! We've got a cool weapon and spare warheads, what could go wrong!" Well, the fact that if you ever decide to actually ATTACK anyone with nuclear weapons, they knew exactly where you are on your tiny island and could wipe you out in retaliation.

Their "taking on the world" language made me think they're planning to have a more public presence than just "punching countries in the dark" to screw over the U.S. They're talking about having money, more soldiers, Big Boss' DNA, and Metal Gear Rex to allow them to become a military power in their own right, to initiate conflicts/make demands on other countries. And going "public" like that means, once countries get past being mad at the U.S., Outer Heaven becomes an international target for retaliation. They're not really equipped to handle that, even with Russian military backing.

Oh wow, I had no idea you could do that last mission that way. That's pretty awesome.

Yes! I got the right solution.

This part of the game felt so horribly padded, what with having to go through the hall of cameras and climb ALLLL the way up and down Metal Gear so many drat times.

For how important genes and genetics is to the entire story and character motivations in MGS1, you'd think someone on the writing team would've... I dunno, read a little bit about genetics.
