What exactly were this guy's goals, I'm pretty lost.
What exactly were this guy's goals, I'm pretty lost
Preservation of culture
He had a lust for revenge
scare everyone with his big robot and kill the english language
Delete english by using a parasite that activates whenever you talk english by living in your vocal chords. There are expansive tapes where an old man explains this to you as slowly as humanely possible. It's dumb but it's metal gear.
Yet another wrong interpretation of The Boss' will
So everyone would be speaking Russian instead? Or Chinese?
>Wants to preserve native languages and culture
>can't even speak his native Hungarian without dying
I totally forgot haven't played it since release, why did he want to wipe out English?
What is this will that everyone keeps talking about, she never mentions anything off a will in MGS3.
Pretty much any other language, there are 5k of them iut there and only 5% of the world has english as their mothertou gue. Oh he also would be giving out nukes/metal gears with nukes to ALL countries because "no deterrent if everyone got a deterrent lol enjoy"
>the chain of retaliation is what truly will bind this world together as one
I hobestly can't remember the reason. The MGSurvive beta gave me an itch for TPP so I'm replaying that currently.
When she went to space she realized the true beauty of world without borders. Everyone then inserted their own interpretation of it, while what she meant was that rising above wars and bringing peace all over is true freedom, or something like that, kinda hard to explain delirious babbling of a woman that fought for opposite.
Wait a minute, wouldn't that mean that he was born or raised during Soviet occupation of Hungary? Why would he target English then and not Russian.
...
the soldiers, FOREIGN SOLDIERS who raided his SMALL VILLAGE spoke English
The question is legit but we have tons of soviet fetishizers to this very day, had to sit through a year of classes where the teacher constantly talked about how much better it was back in those days. They're generally the people who hate the english language too, so I can absolutely see that mindset. I'm also sure Kojima wouldn't know that.
He was Tsundere for Major Zero
you forgot this
youtube.com
Was horrifically scarring her body worth giving the kid his faggot amulet back?
He made Zero into a vegetable, that's a little over tsundere
I-It's not like I wouldn't know that, baka
His primary goal was to create a Tower of Babel scenario where people could not communicate in a spoken language in order to prevent Zero / Cipher from accomplishing his goals. Cipher was attempting to use the Philosopher's Legacy to create a one-world government (which is why the AI systems were created, the major focus of MGS2 and MGS4). Back when Cipher was still using his name as Major Zero, Skullface was a Black Ops "clean-up crew" to remove any and all traces of FOX from being at a scene. However, Skullface's psychotic tendencies eventually got the best of his nature.
As a child, during WWII, he was thrown around the Eastern Front, never getting his own language as each new captor introduced a new tongue, which made it difficult for him to socialize, make friends, and even understand warning signs. He also became irreparably scarred during these events, both physically and emotionally. Looking into the abyss of men's hearts, he absolutely hated Zero's attempt to realize The Boss' dream by uniting the entire world, and therefore sought to prevent it from happening by creating XOF.
In order to facilitate his goals, he had parasites developed that would only activate if the vocal cords of an infected individual vibrated at the right frequency in response to a certain language being spoken. By preventing people from speaking at risk of death, it would theoretically prevent Cipher from creating a united planet. After failing to defeat Big Boss and his rapidly-expanding guerilla team, he had Sahelanthropus constructed, a machine so powerful there was no available fuel source to operate it at the time, and required Psycho Mantis' telekinetic powers to do so. By arming himself with a bleeding-edge hyper-weapon that could tear down Mother Base and Big Boss, he could continue his operations uncontested. While he did die, it's thanks to his parasites that Cipher theorized a new way to control people: Nanomachines.
>Skullface was a Black Ops "clean-up crew" to remove any and all traces of FOX from being at a scene.
Wait I thought the point of FOX was that they were so good that they didn't leave any traces behind.
Just forget about that other user pojection. Mgsv story is a typical kojima fucking unpolished mess
Skullface explains his connection to Major Zero as going in behind the operatives to leave no traces. He even taunts Venom about it by saying he's not as good as he believes he is, since Skullface had to follow him around in MGS3 and, unsurprisingly, didn't even notice he was being dogged the entire time.
It was to show she is a good person, unlike the self-centred brat Eli, who didn't care one bit about his own comrades, much like in MGS1.
Oh right, retcons.
Eradicate the English language to halt the spread of cultural annihilation due to being absorbed by the Lingua Franca, and make cheap, ‘legal’ nukes available to every nation, corporation, terrorist group and rich eccentric to level the global political playing field. He lost or had taken away everything that made up his identity, and after learning that his boss (Zero) wanted to unite the world by homogenising language and culture for complete control he sperged out because he knows what having your identity taken away feels like. So in essence he has fairly noble goals in wanting to stop the spread of cultural imperialism and empower everyone to choose their own identity and destiny, but in practice he was a scummy cunt who even admitted himself to being motivated by revenge and hate, thus perpetuating the endless cycle of war fuelled by men like Zero and Big Boss.
Exactly. XOF was apparently controlled by Cipher until Skull Face's coup, but considering neither XOF nor Skull Face is mentioned until Ground Zeroes, it's safe to say that this unnecessary plot point was added in an attempt to establish Skull Face as a villain.
What do you think Skull Face and his team had to clean up if in MGS3 you did a No Kill Stealth run? His shit?
There are people in this thread that take the plot of MGS seriously
Naked Snake obviously wore diapers that he filled up with his stinky poopies haha
all the empty ration cans, and peel the darts off the enemies
What I didn't get was how much influence Skullface had in Cipher. Did he control it all in MGSV or just XOF? Doesn't Ocelot have higher authority in Cipher than Skullface anyway? Why couldn't Ocelot just fucking shoot Skullface the minute he walked into the office?
Kill the english language xD
Cipher isn't an organization, it's Major Zero's codename after FOX is disbanded and he's founded The Patriots using the Philosopher's Legacy. Skull Face took control of XOF after the CIA tried to disband it along with FOX. As for hierarchy, Ocelot at this time was still working for The Patriots, making him extremely below Cipher, a Founder.
Thanks, I think I understand it better now. It still sounds like a clusterfuck though. So Zero just fucked every other founding member out of having any real power?
The Boss had the overview effect, Astronauts have it when they see the earth from above and it kinda looks small to them and like a single piece, makes them lose their understanding of what borders are and why they are necessary/Why people are so retarded and fight each other 24/7
I don't get how what Big Boss did was an interpretation of her will though. All he wanted was eternal war. Nor do I remember why School Head gives a fuck about The Boss' will or if it was his own will.
Eliminate the English language.
Expositionary jeep ride.
Venom ruined it.
Well i have no idea what The Boss actually wanted but most people thought she wanted a world where soldiers had a purpose and not simple tools for the government to later be discarded like The Boss was
Zorro said in one of the last tapes that he was also an Boss fanboy and wanted to fulfill her will but i really don't know why, it wasn't mentioned at any other point in the game
Honestly all this post MGS3 The Boss wanking is kinda embarassing
No, Zero was the one who got ruined because he went into a vegetative state thanks to getting infected with a parasite by Skull Face, which allowed the other Patriots to operate without Zero's insight and allowed MG1 and MG2 to happen, which is what ultimately leads to Solid Snake no longer being a "pawn" and instead becoming a "player" threatening enough to take down the Patriots' after they've died and left their mark on the world. Compare Solid to Liquid and Solidus, who were easily manipulated by Ocelot, a Patriots member, in Zero's absence.
I think the ninja killed one. And another became the DARPA Chief.

During MGS3, we get "The Boss' Dream," she wanted to believe that one day, soldiers would no longer be used by the governments that employ them, so soldiers could be free to do the right thing. Both Naked Snake / Big Boss and Zero / Cipher misinterpreted that message thanks to their personal experiences, with BB getting a medal for killing his mentor because she refused to compromise her morals, even though the US set her up to take the fall to prolong the war machine and the Cold War, and Cipher hearing her story about how, while in space for just a few minutes, she saw how meaningless borders were.
Cipher, with the Patriots and AI system, sought to tear down all the borders in the world by making it so that there WERE no borders. By establishing a one-world government, which uses AI to sift through, process, and sort all of the information being blasted, as well as using technology to heavily control and police the entire planet, it would end war as we know it because there wouldn't be another country to declare war on. Soldiers would never be abused, because there wouldn't be any soldiers left. No one would have to suffer the pain of combat casualties, or PTSD, or having to kill another human. It would be a perfect world... in Cipher's eyes.
Big Boss wanted to create a mercenary state of soldiers, by soldiers, for soldiers. Other countries would have to come to THEM, on THEIR terms, following THEIR rules, instead of soldiers because told what to do and when to do it by some fat-assed bureaucrat sitting behind a mahogany desk chomping on a Cuban while complaining about communism. Soldiers would choose which wars they fought, who they fought against, and who or what they fought for. Now there would be no meaningless deaths, no unnecessary sacrifices, no doubt as to whether a soldier was doing right or wrong. It would be a perfect world... in Big Boss' eyes.
Her will is summed up as "Let the world be". Do your own thing but don't destroy other's things, just leave the world the way it is. It doesn't even make much sense, if that way of thinking ever worked out whatsoever, we would not have wars to begin with. Solid Snake didn't even know her but ultimately he is the only one who acted on The Boss' will by freeing it from the Patriots AI's control.
I wonder if Kojima hates all the English teachers and eikaiwas in his country.
Was he also fulfilling The Boss' will?
He was fulfilling her will in the worst way possible. While he was fighting for everyone to fight and die for what they believe, he wasn't building any form of stability whatsoever. While the end result would be a libertarian's wet dream, it would also cause millions of unnecessary deaths that could be prevented with much better planning, not to mention the numerous morality crimes he committed to make his short-term plans actualized.
His plan of eradicating the english language dosn't make any sense. "Preservation of coulture" yeah in the middle of the cold war the russian would have pretty much ruled the world after the death of all the english speaker. Also what's up with his army of metal gear if the first wasn't even concluded by Emmerich and only the flying-fuck kid could use it?
Dumb plan for a dumb villain
You forgot the people he was fighting wanted English to be the language of the world.
This was taking place at the time where the US and France was competing over which of their languages should dominate the Western world so everyone could communicate with each other via 500 "critical" words during a moment of crisis, since the world had just witnessed two massive wars in the span of two decades, and a third was looming on the horizon.
Can anyone upload a savegame from MGS5 ? My PC crashed and I lost my save, I was at the part where you have to extract that truck and those zombie ninja soldiers come up and fuck your shit.
He wants to delete the English language, so he unleashes parasites against all sorts of languages EXCEPT English.
She just healed anyway. Thats the whole reason she had the parasites in the first place, because she was fucked up after the intro mission where the real big boss put her on fire and she fell out of the window.
>Quiet was that soldier from the start
What the fuck
They weren't being cryptic about it, you can even hear her theme in the intro and later on you find out she has a petal of a white flower insider her, the same that was in the hospital room
Also they have the same voice
In the last mission where you replay the first mission, you can clearly see her face during that scene.
Well thanks for telling me that, I'm doing a new playthrough and once I find her I'm killing that bitch. She killed the nurse and the good doctor in the hospital. Jewish law applies: Death penalty.
Or wait, were the nurse and the doctor on some secret evil organization too?
Think Zero had some ties to the hospital, thus it was supposed to be safe and that's why they were moved there. I don't think the staff working there were anything other than physicians though.
Who?!
Then Quiet dies.
Her story arc is one of repentance though.
>A negro killer, most of mgs5 is filler
It does not make much sense for her to repent though. She went from murdering (at least) two innocent medicine professionals, along with trying to strangle you, to repenting and saving African kids? For what reason? There wasn't enough time for that much character development.
I woke up my roommates, thanks asshole
The idea ON PAPER is that she tries to kill you, someone else gets the best of her, so she tried again after getting fixed and juiced, and not only do you kick her ass at her own game, you spare her despite everything she's done. The idea is unfathomable to her, so she spies on you, gets caught spying on you on Mother Base, and gets taken into custody, which she does so willingly since to do otherwise means getting killed. Whether or not she was plotting for you to let your guard down to kill you is irrelevant; over time, she ends up trusting you and potentially even loving you, and willingly gives up her own life in the end by directing the helicopter to your location in the middle of a sandstorm, guaranteeing her death since she will dry out and she can't go back to Mother Base because she's activated her parasites.
Her redemption is that she goes from trying to take your life, to learning you're playing an important, positive part in the world, and giving up her life in exchange for yours, instead.
>no deterrent if everyone got a deterrent
I'm pretty sure that's not how it works.
LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF JIVING GORILLA, SNAKE.
It's the same as American gun policy.
His motives were very complex.
