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

I'll get back to this game after I get my Australium Gun Mettle Coin. I have to hurry up with that, it ends tomorrow ;_;

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 :<

So anyway I just found out all of the Snakes aside from Liquid are voiced by the same guy in the Japanese version. I guess that means they all canonically sound the same except for the limey bastard of the bunch.

I don't think that really matters, does it?

It matters more than you know.

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.

Also holy crap FINALLY got the last Battle Dress for my FoB soldiers. What. A. Grind.

But when I saw 3 containers of the Precious Metal in the airport, I nearly wet meself.

yeah, that's basically an extrapolation upon what i was trying to say

This forced romance between Quiet and Snake hurts. Just got the rain cutscene where they do that awkward laughing (the only time Boss actually laughs at all, or smiles in the story happily).

It was handled so much better in MGS3, even if it was a cheesy 80's movie style.

This is now a Suarez thread

Suarez gets paid £10 million to play a meaningless game that accomplishes nothing of value.

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.

He's also happy when he picks up little Diamond Dog.

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

Sutherland claimed the voice change would be explained in TPP (implying Boss did sound like Solid at one point but didn't by '84), but nothing of the sort happened, so there's little left but speculation.

Edit: or, after doing some digging, apparently he didn't. Huh. I was told he had.

Not everything has some crazy lore behind it. The simple fact of the matter was Hayter was doing each installment of Big Boss worse and worse, and Peace Walker really showed that.

They needed a change that fit the look and tone of Big Boss much more, and Sutherland apparently fit.

I'm aware, but will speculate nonetheless because it's fun.

At no point are the Skulls a surprise, Skull Face is always expected, Sahelanthropus gets called out before it appears, and you'll definitely know when Mantis and his lackey are going to show up. I get the whole 'interactive film' thing, but it'd be nice to have some suspense as to what opposition is in each level.

I got a mod to take away the beginning credits

me when my base gets invaded

I did mission 43 finally last night.

I have to say it's probably the best narrative mission in the game (I wish we had more quality like that), but I think some people really were overhyping how emotional it was.

However when they all salute you, THAT part was kinda morbid and "oof...." feeling. Other than that, eh... I was just happy for some freaking cutscenes and emotion.

Finished mission 46

but I think some people really were overhyping how emotional it was.

Those pesky expectation spoilers... this is why I try to avoid 'em. Suddenly I don't seem so unreasonable, huh?

No, but really, it wasn't just emotional. It was so freaking thematic. It was a perfect storm of atmosphere.
