"I'll Keep Coming." | Death Stranding, A Kojima Productions Thread

So is Boss' new codename officially Venom Snake, or is he Punished Snake, or both? I knew he was originally Punished, then it got changed to Venom, but he's still called Punished for some reason. I never figured out what happened with that.

Punished "Venom" Snake

...So, why both? That would make sense if his actual name was Venom, but it isn't.

Though, I think we can all agree it'd be cool if Boss got his hands on a symbiote suit.

My best guess is that "venom" represents the emotion Big Boss carries into battle now. Remember in MGS3 when the Boss said that Jack couldn't join the Cobra Unit because he lacked an emotion to carry into battle?

"Venom" or "vengeance" could represent his homage to the Cobra Unit and his transition as a character.

As for Punished Snake, I doubt any of the characters are really going to refer to him as such. If anything, it'll be like "Wow, you're no longer Snake... you're a punished Snake. Like the one in the Bible." because of how much Kojima loves that shit.

Would buy.

I think I like 'Vengeful Snake' more than Venom Snake to be honest.

I don't know why we're not calling him Big Boss at this point, honestly.

He really should make up his mind as to whether or not he's worthy of the name.

Clearly it's because Venom Snake is actually Frank Jaeger in disguise at Big Boss is still in a coma.

Obviously.

Peace Walker True ending spoilers

(Really, it kind of degrades the ending of Peace Walker that was so effective. About moving past the Boss and such.)

Please don't do this. It's already difficult for me to keep from revealing everything, and throwing out joke theories just makes me want to spill it even more.

I hope you're not serious.

Unfortunately I am.

No you're not.

If you were serious you would have just not said anything.

That would've been the best course of action.

Now I suspect something.

I am. It's all on TVtropes. Which is why I told you not to go there.

God damnit I know something now.

Fuck.

I wish you didn't say anything.

I didn't say anything specific about anything. I just asked you not to joke about the game's story. I love informing people of stuff and the urge to explain everything is difficult to resist.

I know I haven't gone to TVTropes. I don't even know what that is.

Fuck.

Actual spoilers

Based on what you said earlier, you don't play as Big Boss in the beginning. Your aversion to the gray Fox theory makes me realise that you actually don't.

Fuck don't confirm anything I just suspected.

This is why I'm so against spoilers. Even the smallest ones.

Did I just get SUPER SPOILED?

I dunno man.

I dunno.

Stop


Pls

Maybe I'm just looking too much into it.

I shouldn't joke about the story. You're right Plotmaster.

I didn't confirm anything. Absolutely no information about the story, implied or otherwise, was passed between us. All I did was ask that you don't try to guess, even jokingly, about what happens in the game.

That's all.

Stop


Pls

TBH I don't think the theory is right

I just think Plotmaster wants to avoid having a speculative discussion, because he might reveal stuff. It's reasonable, even if my joke was a joke and not true.

I really doubt it is, to be honest.

Thank God, I nearly just had  a heart attack

I didn't confirm anything. Absolutely no information about the story, implied or otherwise, was passed between us. All I did was ask that you don't try to guess, even jokingly, about what happens in the game.

That makes me feel better, actually.

Hurt me less, Snake.

I'm having so many secret thoughts right now that I don't want to reveal

because i'm pretty sure they're true

but i don't buy the gray fox theory at all

never have

never will

When it comes to metal gear i know too much for my own good

this is torturous

Guy, go light some incense, sit down in a dark room, listen to some old guy wearing a silicon zombie mask whisper in your ear on Youtube, and chill.

will a "the office" marathon work instead

So anyway after watching Ground Zeroes again I just realized that the scar on Paz's stomach was an arrow pointing straight down to her vagina to tell everyone where the other bomb was.

I found that both morbid and hilarious.

can't find better advice to give you than this, tbh
