the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
How come? Are they all, like, clones or something?

In 1972, Big Boss fell into a coma. Unsure of how long he would remain in this state, Major Zero and the other members of his intelligence society (which would become known as The Patriots) decided to clone him.

At the time, Big Boss was a world-renowned icon, a figurehead for, truth, justice and patriotism. In order for Zero to extend the reach of his agency, he needed the illustrious celebrity persona of Big Boss to be at the forefront of his operations. In case anything ever happened to him, there needed to be others to take his place. Hence, the clones.

3 clones were extracted from Jack (Big Boss): the first, Solid, was to only represent Big Boss's dominant traits. The second, Liquid, was to only show Big Boss's recessive traits.

The third, born sometime after the first two IIRC, was to be a mixture of dominant and recessive genes and become a "well-balanced masterpiece". He is basically an exact clone of Big Boss.

After Big Boss awoke from his coma, he left the Patriots. The nonconsensual cloning was the last straw for Jack.

Okay.

Why is he called naked snake?

He goes into each mission with no equipment.

Because Kojima.

No, he was "naked" on his mission. All his weapons and equipment were procured on-site. Meaning, he went in with nothing, ala, naked.

Thank you. I was confused when you said 'she' for boss but then it made more sense with big boss.

Aren't there like, five snakes or something in MG?

Naked Snake
Solid Snake
Liquid Snake
Solidus Snake

So, 4.

How come? Are they all, like, clones or something?
Liquid, Solid and Solidus are clones of Naked Snake/Big Boss.

They're the result of the Les Enfants Terribles program.

That makes sense. no one likes the french, anyway.

So... when do I get to meet that prick from revengence and kill him?
Which prick?

the guy you play as
Raiden isn't an antagonist. He's an ally.

I can still kill him though, right?
If by kill, do you mean play as for 2 games?
I won't tell you the other game he's in because spoilers.

No problem. I like it. PM if you have anything in the future you're unsure about.

I can also give you a rundown of stuff in preparation for TPP once you beat Ground Zeroes.

In one game you can kill an exact duplicate of him with a similar name. Kojima knew how hated he was in the west.

No one likes him, honestly.

He's either whiney and a discount  version of Solid Snake or he's a melodramatic lil' bitch.

thanks :3

it'll be a while before I get TPP, if i get it

I generally stick to a two games per year rule so I don't blow all my money on games I don't end up playing, and so I can act smart about by choices

And I'm not cancelling anything for Halo 5 and Fallout 4.

I can't wait to have a proper single player game again to spend hundreds of hours on. All my games on XB1 are multiplayer based (BF4, Halo MCC, Titanfall, GTA) so I'm getting a bit bored of them.

He's also John, which is IIRC short for John Doe, but I could be wrong.

Which makes the coincidence even greater

because my name is John

but people call me Jack.

Though "John Doe" is just a pseudonym, IMO. It's like, the most basic name ever.

I think that's the point. In case he ever gets captured, nobody really knows who he is because he has such a common name.
