I know that, but Orionangel hasn’t finished the game yet. It is the real Big Boss in MG 2: Solid Snake though, and he’s still very much of a dick. The conclusion of this game does not properly explain the transistion, which it could have if they didn’t try another “You’re not playing as Snake in this game!” trick.

It took me a while to grasp the plot and ramifications of MGS 2 and 4, so I thought the same. Looking back on it all, his actions and motivations are pretty forgivable, but the tonal shift of the character is a bit mind boggling.

And he’s not the only one! Still not sure about what makes Big Boss go from all around…

He does seem to be a bit different than his other iterations, doesn’t he? In MGS3 he’s a bit of a brash and confrontational youth, in MGS5 he appears to be absolutely uninterested in vengeance or doing anything immoral, and then in MGS1 and on he goes back to brash and has a huge vengeful streak in him... before the…

Early Game SPOILERS!!!

I was kind of uncomfortable with Kojima putting the credits at the beginning and including the “guest appearances”, but I came actually stopped paying attention to them and came across Mission 16 without any knowledge the Skulls would be there, I had an Assault Rifle, a tranq sniper, and a sniper…

Wow. Great job creating an incredibly ignorant article. Ellie is specifically talking about the roles that people see black people having in the movie as being limited and possibly offensive. Matt is worried about not hiring to hit some type of diversity marker, but the people they feel are best qualified to bring…

I very much agree with you that it was very strange, especially when I would just go across the street to get it from Best Buy. It sucked. They told me that they only ordered enough to cover their pre-orders (and this has happened more than once). Perhaps it was just a really dumb store manager and this isn’t an issue…

Stop it! Stop coming up with great ideas that run completely counter to lines in the sand I’ve drawn! My... bowels... PLEASE!!!

“When it’s my jam... it’s super my jam!”

Hmm... I will be closing this window now...

Can we not do this please? Regular characters in the ‘verse are good for world building. Stop giving every character Iron Man armor, spider-powers, secret abilities, and the like! Aunt May will be the line. If you give me an Iron May, I’m going to lose control of my bowels...

For the most part... using certain items like stealth camo will also restrict you to only A or below ranks. I get that using the stealth camo is a form of easy mode, but don’t provide a tool that has limited use anyway and then say that I’m less skillful for having used it and completed the mission in a still Snake…

Though the big twist was fairly easy to see coming, I’m still really disappointed. The twist that you’re actually a clone of Big Boss in the Metal Gear series was a fun one, and being able to play as that initial character in MGS3 and Peace Walker felt like you were playing as through Snake’s genetic heritage... it…

Dinklage seems to have the more monotone robot voice, while North has somewhat of a C-3PO personality behind his. The difference is subtle, but I think distinct and I prefer North’s interpretation.

I’ve got to defend Metal Gear Solid and their depiction of the lady sexiness. You’re right, when you are playing there is a lot of “Male gaze” about but you’re playing from the point of view of a male. Capturing a glimpse of a butt or some cleavage is absolutely what Snake would be doing in these situations, and…

According to the one of the developers during one of the E3/Gamescom/Tokyo game shows it takes you back to Mother Base just as it would had you sent it alone.

I do, but one of the things that makes one sensible is admitting they’re wrong when presented with evidence. I’m more than happy to admit I’m wrong in something should sufficient and verifiable evidence be presented. Is there something specifically that you have an argument against?

A majority of your examples are nonsense. Things that actually effect the integrity of the game (like bounties or cheating) should absolutely end up as a stiffer penalty than items that are outside the realm of football. Yeah, he’s been a bit inconsistent because everyone is second guessing his decisions. Doesn’t…

Chico is Quiet

I highly doubt this one. Even if we decide for the time that the age is right and the trauma he received somehow made him decide for a sex change, Quiet’s first actions in the game is the attempted murder of Snake. While I’m sure he isn’t too pleased with what happened to Paz, I kind of doubt he would…

Chico is QUIET???

(I’m kidding, I love Outside Xbox though!) If Venom Snake becomes Gray Fox... I guess I’ll be okay... but I play these games to be a Snake. (I’ll even take Metal Gear VI being Liquid Snake on missions for FOXHOUND!). I even played Revengence knowing I would be Raiden again and just didn’t get hooked.

I…

I went from thinking “this dude is scared and having legitimate sympathy for him (I was getting pretty nervous and I knew how the trope was going to end)“ to “did he just pee himself to make the guards think he was a dead body voiding his bowels??? Genius! Maybe?” and I had thought they may have assume the liquid on…

Assuming you’re 100% sincere... isn’t this just another Raiden thing then? You know, the guy Kojima tricked us into playing when we though we were going to be playing as Solid Snake and nearly unanimously ticked off the world with? Has the man learned nothing???
