Ace of Aces posted:MGS4 heavily implies that Ocelot was bullshitting this as a psychological tactic/used self-hypnosis to convince himself that was the case, which arguably makes less sense than straight up ghost posession given everything about The Sorrow. No, no, no. He actually was possessed by the ghost haunting his transplanted arm, which was mainly haunting him to gently caress with Snake, but then he cut off the transplant, replaced it with a cyber-limb, and used the self-hypnosis to replicate the effects of being possessed, to fool the AIs in space that control 21st century earth from behind the scenes (and also to gently caress with snake.) Easy mistake.

bman in 2288 posted:MGS4 had a lot of things it did wrong, but I don't think that Ocelot trying to get rid of Liquid's ghost was one of them. it didn't, though. Vamp? only nanomachines part of it was being able to keep resurrecting himself. Everything else, all him.

Kase moch posted:What's fun about Metal Gear is it looks like a fairly serious, realistic, military-based combat game, and then you play it and realize it's deep into absurdist fantasy soap opera territory. Its great because MGS actively bait-and-switches you by keeping the first hour or so low-key and having everything up to the Ocelot boss battle play out like a slightly more cyberpunk Tom Clancy technothriller, and then an invisible cyborg ninja literally comes out of loving nowhere to cut Ocelots arm off and everything goes off the god drat rails.

This is a snake that retired after beating his father to death with his bare hands in a minefield and then had over a decade to reflect on it in alaska with noone to talk to, yeah.
