I got a mod to take away the beginning credits

I think it's more fanservice. It's more than obvious Big Boss and Solid sound different. Besides, since Hideo is so "pro-western" and his games literally ride on American lore for a lot of his canon, AND he cares a lot about who casts for the English voice actors

I'd say it's canon they're different. But again, it's how you interpret it. I like to think you can look like someone and not sound the same. Twins don't sound the same either. I would assume clones don't.

Well, we know Big Boss looked and sounded identical to Solid in his youth. His voice change in MGS5 was ostensibly because

Spoiler

it isn't really Big Boss, but both Bosses have the same actor, so that rather muddles the whole thing.

I assume Solid Snake's lifetime of smoking as well as quickened aging altered his voice; perhaps if he had gone nine years without a cig he'd have sounded like Keifer Southerland as well.

You'd be a better boxer than Muhammad Ali with that long reach.

That's how I felt about MGS V

Much like how we associate huge empires with the English accent because of the British Empire (Rome, Galactic Empire, etc).

Thanks, brits.

I suspect it's more because no one wants to listen to an Italians speaking for an hour and a half.

Latin and Italian are two completely different sounding languages. Media just potrays huge empires with an English accent for whatever reason.

I'd expect an Italian accent is closer to a Roman one than a cut-glass Oxford one.

Well yeah. They obviously didn't sound British, I'm just going by how the media potrays empirical powers (when they're white. I should mention that.)

A soldier to surpass Metal Gear.

But seriously though Venom Snake is A+ in every category. That guy is better than him in every way.

Maybe he's the guy who replaces Venom Snake and is his doppelganger an- no? Okay.

Hm... well if I deploy as him and he dies, is he gone for good? He's not as fast as Snake either :<

I never finished Peace Walker

Not spending 3 hours soloing PW m8y. It would have been different if I played in its prime.

I couldn't either before MGS V came out. Just watch the movie on YouTube, it still gives you the amazing experience.



It's long but I highly recommend it. You'll enjoy the story, trust me. If you have to, watch it in bursts.

How do you get it? Beat mission 42?

Never played it but from the scary games I HAVE played, I'd say night. You wanna immerse yourself as much as possible, so that means nighttime, lights off, and headphones if you can.

Which is fine, but the fact he doesn't talk in important cutscenes is also a pretty bad problem. He doesn't talk a lot in the tapes either honestly. He is massively underused.

Oh, one more thing.

The Venom Snake twist is so fucking retarded. It's Big Boss for all intents and purposes until the end. I know this game (MG1) is over 20 years old, but there was really no point in giving him a clone, especially since we were promised to see Big Boss "turn into a demon". Talk about false advertising. That and Big Boss literally says at the end of that game "this isn't the end. We will meet again!"

That right there is our "phantom pain". A bunch of lies in advertising for a sub par character (which is stupid because he NEVER talks, and you hire someone like Kiefer Sutherland who costs a shit load of money to do it).

MGS V is a massive disappointment for me. Perfect gameplay, but repetitive missions and a story that takes a back seat = one of my least favorite in the series.

I have to say, and I know this will be hated by a lot of people

I enjoyed my first playthrough of MGS 4 far more than MGS V. Why? Because even though the story and cutscenes were fuck awful long, at least it HAD a damn story. It's such a crime everything is removed in this game, and the few cutscenes are ARE good, are so few and far in between.

So when infiltrating FOB bases, is there a point to extracting soldiers or would I do better to just sneak to the goal?

The more I play this game, the more I get depressed when I get Peace Walker characters thrown at me. Why?

Because that game had so much more effort put into the story and soundtrack. God damn does the story for MGS V and the soundtrack suck compared to ANY OTHER MGS game. Seriously. NONE of this game came close to having lovable characters either like Peace Walker. Strangelove had personality, hell even Huey did too.

Ocelot is just a radio dictionary too I should add, and them never showing him going to grumpy old man bothered me. Though seeing his little torture scenes, I must admit did a good job. Like putting that needle under Huey's leg. That's Ocelot torture for ya.

Also, at no point in this game did the story reach the same climax or same tension as the nuke scene in the war room in Peace Walker. Such a massive fucking disappointment. If this was any other game I wouldn't mind, but when it's an entry to a franchise renowed and built on intricate storytelling, cutscenes, and dialogue? It's just so bad.

The gameplay is honestly the ONLY saving grace to this game if you ask me, and that's even tested to the max with the constant repetitive fucking missions you're given. All of these characters are handled poorly in my opinion, ALL. OF. THEM.

The potential was so great too, but nope, nothing happens. I guess that's the players PHANTOM PAIN LOL KOJIMA SO GENIUS!
