I mean, Kojima's said dumb shit before. I'm sure you all know he doesn't even consider games to be art.
I actually didn't know this. You'd think he'd be one of those guys that advocate games as art.

Here's a more updated point of view from him

Oh hey, I guess
Spoiler
it was Ocelot that killed Miller. Not just some random assassin like the novel stated.
Makes me feel a bit better about it.
wait what? Why???

Spoiler
The final conversation kinda hints at it. They talk about taking different sides and Ocelot says one day one of them is gonna have to kill the other.
:(

Ocelot is just confusing

Why can't we call in a chopper, get in, and fly to somewhere else in the map? You can do it at Mother Base but not the open world. Why not? Seems like a poor gameplay choice imo.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.

The quarantine mission would have been much more impactful if you didn't have the worst monster in the series calling you out for it. Even worse because you're supposed to agree with him.

What are those weird lines that appear on the screen when you advanced technology? I noticed it a few times

I'm not sure how I feel about Volgin surviving Operation Snake Eater, it seems like a huge stretch that he survived just out of his desire for revenge. But then Volgin's pretty cool in both games, so it's cool to see him again

I thought Mantis was controlling his corpse. Was he actually alive?

That level was better than the prologue chapter, IMO

it's the highlight of the game

Spoiler
He was severely burned after Snake blew up the Shagohad. The Russians transported his body to a research facility to be tested on.

Yes, he survived. But he was given control of his body again via Mantis.

The level itself was great. Huey's commentary serves no purpose other than to taunt Snake and make Huey an even shittier character.

He couldn't be more wrong. He could have made Git-mo WAY more mature and bad than what the game showed.

Actually going back on the Ocelot thing

Spoiler
It would make sense he kills Miller since Miller is on the Patriots side technically. And was when he was supporting Snake on how to take down Big Boss. In fact, I think it was him who told him to make a weapon.

I wonder why nobody tried perfecting the parasites and improving them. The Skulls were the scariest, most badass army in Metal Gear, so it makes little sense why nobody thought of reproducing them. They're better than the FROGs, at any rate.

Quick question. Is Ocelot in MGS5 "Liquid Ocelot" in MGS4?

I've only played MGS5 and watched some videos of MGS4.

Yep, but he was possessed by Liquid Snake's ghost nanomachine-hypnosis-personality in the fourth game.

Spoiler
Actually, I thought the Huey's commentary helped immerse the player in that section. I had legitimate difficult killing my men thanks to him.

I really think it's something you needed to have played to understand. It's the game's strongest point.

What kind of asshole watches their boss shower with a coworker? Even if they're apparently clothed, it's still strange.

I would've rather Boss and Ocelot have a shower together.
ayyy

essentially

though i don't consider MGS4 to be canon

or anything after mgs2 in the continuity

sorta like how noelle doesn't think stuff from star wars eu isn't canon

but i'm less serious about it obviously

I like playing as DD soldiers instead of Big Boss when I replay missions and pretending I'm being sent on super duper top secret missions

I'd assume so, going by the Outer Heaven logo you can see reflected in the glass and the Operation Intrude tape

Dang, poor guy. When is Kaz/Ocelot's call at the end? I'm guessing it's sometime after he wakes up.

Okay I'm gonna say this and it might sound unpopular honestly.


Anyone else feel the Metal Gear story as a whole fell apart ever since Kojima had to explain everything in 4? As in, it wasn't as good?
