You will never experience the Phantom Pain theory threads ever again

>you will never experience the Phantom Pain theory threads ever again

Remember how great the game was before it was released? How Venom was Gray Fox, Ishmael was The Medic and how the second Liquid on the helicopter was Solid Snake? Sniper Wolf was going to be found in Africa, Kaz was going to turn against you, Skullface was the real Snake, shit like that.

That entire experience broke my capacity to feel excited for games because it absolutely could not live up to the hype.

I went in blind as fuck and had no prior experience to MGS and had a fucking blast!
definitely in my top 10 games of all time

Same, I really like the game and how wierd stuff gets. Im only like 20% done to.

Kojima learned his lesson and refuses to release new info on his game which will be out in a fucking year and 2 months

from a lore standpoint, this game really, really didn't need to exist

This. I wish it didnt. 4 was sort of mediocre, but it was fun to play. V is just trash.

>it was fun to play
It was a fucking chore.
No post-MGS3 game has any redeeming features.

>How Venom was Gray Fox, Ishmael was The Medic and how the second Liquid on the helicopter was Solid Snake? Sniper Wolf was going to be found in Africa, Kaz was going to turn against you, Skullface was the real Snake, shit like that.
Well, if you wanted that shit.. I'm glad Kojima did what he did.
I hope Death Stranding is the same, too. Just to see you more butthurt.

Venom should've been Solidus

>tfw no solidus game where you go fucking killing people left and right and raising child soldiers

I agree.
>wahhh why wasn't the game exactly what I predicted it would be

I get that you’re both retarded but you’ve missed the point of the thread

It wasn’t that it was what we wanted, it’s what it could have been

Go back to your Nintendo threads where every game is exactly the same

Remember the Chico = Quiet theory? Who was the retard that came up with that shit?

...

could have been what you wanted

I played mgs 1-3, ac!d 1 and 2. Skipped mgs4 and PW. Jumped into v. Had a blast with v until chapter 12 when I had done over 60 side missions of rescue a person or kill someone. Also the traveling and he'll rides got boring.

He would have been 12

metal gear solid has one the most retarded story in videogames, literally like playing an anime. Only Kingdom Hearts exceed this. Do the japanese just not want to make sense or anything?

Solidus appears much older than Snake in MGS2, despite being born later. Considering the age fuckery already present in the series, him appearing as an old man at the age of 12 is hardly a stretch.

THIS
fucking /thread

It was a really weird game. I can see where Kojima was going with some of the stuff in it and I kinda appreciate the idea behind them but shit like the side ops or both regions being mostly empty deserts were just objectively poor design decisions.

>being this real on here.

True

The hype threads were better than the game

I really wanted it to be the link to the original MGS or at least the warming up act where you see Liquid in middle east learning and growing up in the British Army, save Sniper Wolf in the battlefields of eastern europe. come across Grey Fox and a young Naomi etc.

Really wrap it up properly, even make it a 2 part game where you see Boss slowly turn into what he became at the start when he hasd no problem creating and using child soliders.

Peace Walker was... mostly inoffensive.

underage Sup Forumstards get out

...

Solidus was a mercenary in Liberia in the 80's

>Liberia
>in the 80's
Solidus didn't get involved in Liberia until the start of the Liberian Civil War, which didn't start until the end of 1989. Given that the Liberian Civil War was the first conflict he had to deal with, he wouldn't have been active until he was a teenager; even then, at the most generous rates of rapid acceleration of age, he wouldn't have looked old enough to be the phantom Big Boss.

It shouldve been muppet babies with all the bosses from MGS1 but little kiddos.

Meanwhile western games can't construct a plot more complex than "kill tha bad guy"

I'll take jap games and their weird stories any day over that mundane shit.
