It would be impossible to engineer the genes to say "once you hit 40, you're going to slowly die", y'know?

Plus Solid Snake looked older than 35 in MGS2.

His look is off, though. He should look like he's 16 or 17, not 11 or 12.

But he is like 12.

Accelerated aging, nigga.

She's cute, though.

It's too much effort for me to do honestly, and I'm afraid I'll mess something up. Besides yeah, I'm afraid something will mess up via cutscenes or something, and I want that full experience. Once I beat it I'll think about doing it.

Gotcha. No worries.

My review playthrough will be on PC after I finish reading Lord of the Flies, Moby Dick and 1984 (to refresh my memory of it's concepts and understand some of the imagery in the game a bit better), so I'll probably use these mods on that playthrough.

It starts off rocky, but he starts to hit his stride after the the second Ocelot confrontation.

Ehh... still one of his poorer performances, IMO.

Trying to keep the Metal Gear posting to a minimum. I'll do my best.

That's not the mod I was talking about. Look up MSF Fatigues or something.

I don't have a PC yet. Probably getting one this month, though. Once I do I'm getting TPP and playing as GZ Big Boss.

I need this mod in my life.

I like keifer more than hayter

Hayter always sucked as Big Boss, though. He's always been excellent as Solid Snake.

The avatar creation needs more hairstyles. There's no good reason not to have a mullet option.

Good. A company their size would have been batshit insane to go the mobile-gaming route.

Yeah, any Kojima-less MGS sequels would only be so bad at worst, unless Konami just up and drops the ball, because Kojima and the gang have been making the blueprints for a long time now.

Literally anyone can take what TPP had and make it again. For them to fuck up the gameplay in any regard would be the most amateur thing ever.

The story is key. They need someone good.

fixed. you had two Lists before my quotes, and it fucked with everything else in the post.

Ah, okay. Thanks.

Isn't MGS dead without Kojima?

You'd think so, but I'm of the opinion that it's ultimately a good thing.

If I look at Metal Gear's history, I can see that the only truly "bad" Metal Gear without Kojima's name on it was Snake's Revenge. The other main ones I'm thinking of, Portable Ops and Rising: Revengeance, were both good, or at least, passable in their own right. Portable Ops was very true to it's Metal Gear roots, with it's story feeling very at home in the canon. The problem was the gameplay. The team was assigned to create an entirely new kind of game for a new system (PSP) and was tasked with following up the INCREDIBLE Snake Eater.

If they can somehow get writers that know the lore, and the remnants of the KojiPro team to follow up the open world infiltration of The Phantom Pain, it's possible that we could a true "missing link" in the MG canon.

I mean, it's clear Kojima is one of two things:

• He's a poor creator incapable of delegating and organising people to meet deadlines

or

• He's a shit writer.

Either way, he's constantly disrespected the franchise that put him on the map. And while Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain are all great games, they lack the imaginative flare of the original 3. His departure may be a blessing in disguise. And as a fan of his work, I hope he can find a studio where he can make more of what he really wants to -- stuff like Silent Hill.

I will remain cautiously optimistic about the future.
