Cool Ghost posted:The first two Metal Gear games have no supernatural elements to speak of, so it makes some sense for Snake to be wary. I guess they're pretty run-of-the-mill in MGS, though, since Snake doesn't really react when anyone tells him Psycho Mantis can read minds. I still love that NASA had a secret Ninja spec-ops team in Metal Gear 2. Even when it's not crazy bullshit, Metal Gear is crazy bullshit. Delightful.

vdate posted:Eh, by MGS standards, we're currently at about a 3/10 on the weird-o-meter. Not acid trip territory yet! It's not that weird by Metal Gear standards, but the weird is too early. Normally, Metal Gear starts out looking like a serious military drama, adds some weirdos, and then gets legit batshit. It's the floor dropping out from under you as you start to rely on it. Here, there isn't the ground state to really let you appreciate the crazy.

Ace of Aces posted:This was my understanding as well. There are other reasons for this interpretation but they're spoileriffic. Let me guess. The van team was known for teleporting using their psychic powers?

I learned young that killing your enemies felt good. Really good. In America, my friends, my family...they helped me forget the devil inside...but who am I kidding? I was born to kill! I'm saying Jack is back!

Just a guess, but "OK, time to put the clock back!" sounds like a mistranslation meaning to say "Now you're back on the clock." or similar. This is near the era of "Whose secondhand?" after all.

Kase moch posted:I enjoy lovely grumpy Snake. Looks like he's become waaay more jaded since being hosed over and lied to in Shadow Moses. Good for him. This Snake never went to Shadow Moses. It would be rather odd if he had, considering his opinion on psychics.

Bruceski posted:Teliko says Snake was her hero. Hans Davis used the Snake persona to be a hero to the children they were experimenting on. I've seen enough Metal Gear games to know where this one is going. Extended monologues about meme theory?

Blaze Dragon posted:This reminded me of MegaMan Battle Network's GameCube game, where this situation was distressingly common. Your important movement options (Dash, Double Jump) were all Battle Chips so you had to draw them to use them. It's really bad design. IIRC the Wonder Swan game (which also wanted to turn BN into a classic Mega Man) just let you equip Chips instead. At least Network Transmission let you lock chips as your default draw, guaranteeing them every pull. Meant a lot of sitting around sometimes, though, giving you that for free.
