Yeah, after MGSV a Liquid game would be the best thing ever. Him getting captured and being a POW would be interesting and a good way to show how his already jaded personality dips off of the deep end.

Exactly. I want nothing more coming off MGSV than to play a game featuring Liquid's story.

Hell, they can pull a Ground Zeroes and let us play a "prologue" of MGS6 that is just a restored version of Kingdom of the Flies (aka mission 51 aka chapter 3).

I mean, the odds are low now that Kojima is gone and considering the direction Konami is going in the future... but god damn, I'm desperate. MGSV has left me very desperate.


I'm just clinging to Rising and praying they lend the franchise to a talented team that can put out something worthy of the Metal Gear name, even without Kojima's involvement.
 
Someone on Reddit posted a formula for creating a pretty decent Samuel L Jackson. Insert Snakes on a Plane joke here.

SAY WALBACHIA ONE MORE TIME !
 
I care about Solidus.

Solidus is true Big Boss. Venom and "John" can suck it.

Edit:

Solidus deserved more.


Now a game with him would've lived up to the promise of taboos and shit that Kojima chickened out of. The stuff that Raiden describes in Liberian War....no way you gonna whitewash feeding children gunpowder.

Heh, Kojima can weasel out of anything at this point. He'd probably retcon the gunpowder as being super power fuel that Solidus accidentally had lying around and some kids stole from his cookie jar. Solidus was just living a nice suburban life until he decided to help the neighborhood kids deal with some bullies.

Anything is possible, my friend. Let's be glad he didn't bring up Solidus, it would have probably sucked. Zero not mentioning him was too bad, but I'm glad Solidus stayed away from the main events anyways.

I really would have liked him to have shown up or be mentioned in some way, but with the way the core turned out, mentioning him would have probably just screwed with the character. Eli really didn't gain anything, neither did Psycho Kiddo either honestly, they weren't ruined by any means, but they didn't really do anything but act as plot devices to screw up things.
 
I think Kojima really regrets thinking up Solidus. Seems like he never wants to talk about the poor guy; the LET Project is always just Solid and Liquid.
 
Solidus is a very important figure in 1,2, and 4 and still doesn't get a mention in the timeline. Don't know what Solidus did to Kojima...
 
Miller somehow rose from the dead after being completely ignored after MGS1(and he was actually dead the whole time).

Solidus can come back too dammnit, with Kojima gone the chances only go up! Oh wait Konami......

I can't wait for that story to be told...as a turn based card game on android.
 
Finished the game, the final mission was stupid but I think the game is great.

But what the fuck, what happened to Eli? Am I supposed to watch the Mission 51 stuff?
 
What? In MGS3 he talks often enough when talking to Eva, Ocelot, The Boss, Sokolov. Even more so in codec calls obviously, including characters other than Para Medic.

You should also play through MGS4 again because snake is far more chatty in other sections of the game than just when talking to Meryl. The return to Shadow Moses is pretty much a two man comedy duo of Snake and Otacon as they look back on the events of the previous games.

Edit: Hell MGS4 opens with Snake giving a monologue.
Lol that monologue lasts less than 2 min. I just replayed the whole series, so dumb that people keep telling me to go back and replay. Nostalgia is a helluva thing!

Ima just leave this here.

"We need a cute anime pin-up for the cardboard box, and we want it to be a female character from the series."

"Well... in MGSV there are really only two female characters, and one is hated by everyone at Mother Base."

"Right, then let's use the other one."

"The one that was savagely beaten, tortured, raped, physically and sexually mutilated, and then murdered in one of the most graphic and disturbing deaths in the franchise?"

"Yeah! That'll be appropriate!"

PAZ IS BACK!! Wait no errrr...
 
Oh, that's supposed to be Paz? I assumed it was a generic anime little girl
 
Just a quick question. Pretty sure I just finished MGS5, got both the ending with Quite and "The Truth", and then got promptly put back into the ACC. I assume there isn't really any more and it's just there to let you keep playing side ops if the player wants, but just checking to be sure.

The Truth is the real ending
 
I been thinking.

Solid Snake > Big Boss as a soldier.

MGS2 made Raiden about equal to Solid Snake. If MGS4 never happened, Raiden would be the best soldier in the world due to his age not being a limited factor.

That was pretty much the point of the 1 vs many rays part I felt. Even up to MGS4 Snake has never done something that insane
 
So I've been wondering if we didn't really fall from grace in TPP.

Like, Skull Face is pure cartoon villain. He's not really sympathetic even with his tragic youth. He's a monster. But he acts as a distraction from the more subtle actions Venom is taking. Mechanically, when you're fultoning soldiers, you likely only picked the ones with the best states. Anyone else is expendable. You're only letting some live because they have worth to you.

You don't use the child soldiers as soldiers, but you still use them for other jobs around Mother Base. "You're not as bad as the other guys" is a pretty poor excuse. You take contract jobs to kill a bunch of Soviets (who if you listen to, fucking hate being there) to assist a group of people that turn into the Taliban and al Qaeda. Then you turn around and fight for the Eastern Bloc in Africa.

Sure you're trying to prevent Skull Face from unleashed hell on earth, but the means you get to that point are often not related to that goal. Solid Snake never did wetwork to support Philanthropy.

Raiden destroyed like 20 Rays, that was insane indeed. Yes those were mass produced, hence weaker, but they are still Metal Gears. 1 of those Rays gave Rex a run for it's money.

Raiden > Solid Snake > Liquid Snake > Big Boss > Solidus.

Yes I put Liquid Snake above Big Boss. He gave Solid the most trouble, he just wouldn't die.
