I just realized Raiden was a genderswapped Meryl while Olga was a genderswapped Snake.

I can't believe it took me this long to realize that.

how do you mean

In MGS1 Meryl was the rookie in way over her head, who needed Snake to bail her out whenever she stumbled blindly into danger, and she had no personal reason to be on Shadow Moses aside from it being a mission...just like Raiden.

In MGS2 Olga was a cynical, unshaven badass who growled out one-liners and was far more competent than Raiden as well as she had a much more personal reason to be on the Big Shell...just like Snake.

i think that's a bit of a stretch tbh

But.

They're intentionally recycled characters in MGS2.

Except Raiden and Meryl have different genitalia, and Olga has tits while Snake doesn't.

olga is a fox reskin

raiden was never alluded to being a meryl reskin

Solidus was never alluded to being a Liquid reskin, but he was.

sure he was

the ai campbell literally said that the big shell incident was supposed to mirror shadow moses

logically that would imply that raiden = solid and the leader of the opposition would = liquid

Quote
In terms of personality and role in the plot, Raiden = Meryl, and Olga = Snake...and Fox too I guess.

i suppose but that's still a stretch imo

Nah, I'm just bullshitting. There's really no stated reason how Solid is inferior, and the entire plot point got dropped by the time Sons of Liberty rolled around.

presumably things like 20/20 vision, predisposition to physical attributes like agility and strength, instincts and stuff could make one superior to the other

fortunately that doesn't matter

I didn't understand the relevance part.

And if Solid had the dominant genes, why would he be less efficient?

the dominant genes just happened to be less efficient at being a soldier i guess


and what relevance part? what joke?

You guys do know Liquid had the dominant genes, right?

Ocelot confirmed it in the epilogue.

Oh my god no

at least this will have some relevance, eh Plotmaster?
I forgot this quote.

Was Ocelot fucking around or what? Cuz he DID say that in the epilogue.

Also don't get that link joke :<

what joke

Oh you're right. I guess I confused inferior with recessive.

But why is Solid inferior then?

presumably because his genes were less efficient

Super secret 4 child of the Les Enfants Terribles. A chick (don't ask how, not important) with the perfect balance of BB's genes.

She has a machine gun leg. Yes, she's voiced by Rose McGowan.

wtf are you going to start mgs2
I have.

what part are you at

15609
and bacon, the forerunners (i guess the precursors) are what interested me the most

15610
You mean Halo 3's vague terminals that barely made up for the game's lack of story?

considering I just stated that the "vagueness" of the forerunners is what had me interested

yeah

also, i'm not sure what "making up for" has anything to do with anything

it's still the best piece of halo related content I've ever seen

i have a better proposition

what if venom snake refers to the emotion that snake carries into battle?

in mgs3, the boss mentions that snake hasn't got an emotion to carry into battle with him

could "vengeance" or "venom" be his emotion? Could he be known as "The Venom" by some?

Food for thought

Some of the best stuff is post-Halo 3 and post-Bungie, though.

I doubt it gets any better than Halo 3's terminals.

15616
Yeah. I can understand that. It's a shame though, some of the more recent stuff this and last year has been great.

Well I mean I'm probably going to get Halo 5

and if that's any good it'll probably rejuvenate my passion for halo

if not i'll probably sell my xbox tbh

I want a female-centered game by Kojima minus the misogynistic-tendencies

but I don't want it to be about the boss like many people do
I mean, a Boss game could be cool, but it would demystify her, and I don't want that.

yeah

it would only push the "boss" figurehead further back in time

we'd get a character called "The Employer" who was The Boss's mentor

he fought in the First world war

and years later we'd want a game about him

Why?

IMO, it hasn't really been interesting since Halo 3.

The Forerunner saga ruined a lot of the intrigue for me.

flashy overdesigned pls go

it's better than being underdesigned like fox tho

Raiden looks so fucking cool in Ground Zeroes with his white armour


But fox is a way better character for sure

I hope Halo 5's final boss is a super nanomachine-buffed patriotic Didact.

DON'T FUCK WITH THIS FORERUNNER

Yeah.

But y'know what would have made it better?

If it were Gray Fox instead.

Raiden is cooler looking than Fox, though.
