    Monsoon's Sai, when you let it charge up, can be the difference between life and death for certain enemy types. Those gorilla bots absolutely hate that thing, and so do the Gekkos

    I noticed that Sundowner's scissor blade basically had armor on it in addition to doing SO MUCH DAMAGE that I would get to Zandatsu a gekko in one or two hits

    Yeah you get insane damage reduction when you're in the animation for a charged up attack with Sundowner's blade. Even on Revengeance enemies can barely hurt you through it. If you're not going for a No Damage bonus then it's one of the best enemy killers in the whole game (and even if you are, it's super useful if you're careful)

    I always think the best example of Moore's Law or whatever of electronics always getting better is videogame graphics

    MGS4 was mindblowing in 2008 but it looks kinda bad now

    All of this theorizing seems so unnecessary and I want literally 0% of it to be in the actual game

    How about it's a game about Big Boss being driven to evil in a quest for blind revenge

    What's wrong with that

    BROTHER

    Are you saying Liquid Snake is definitely part of the story for MGSV: The Phantom Pain??

    Well actually yes

    I hope with all my hope that he still has the accent.

    Everything is so washed-out and unpleasant

    The lighting in particular makes it hard to look at at times

    Eh, the visuals in 4 are fine

    It's a little jarring going from 4 to V and the yellow-green filter over everything only feels like a weirder choice the further we get away from the age of 'realistic videogames means brown and gray', but there's isn't really anything that's bad

    My big takeaway from that vid is how unengaging the choreography and cinematography is compared to Revengeance

    the world used to need a Solid hero, one who wouldn't break against even the deadliest of threats

    but the world is a different place now

    we need a hero who is malleable. a hero who can fill whatever role we need whenever we need it, who lacks any Solid form for the enemy to strike

    we need a hero... who's Gaseous

    It's Johnny Sasaki's time now.

    the only legitimate reason to not consider peace walker a mainline mgs is that it doesn't have johnny sasaki

    Until watching Metal Gear Scanlon, I had forgotten how many people in that game knew Big Boss.

    Even bloody Naomi knew the guy.

    I forgot that too.

    Makes me wonder if she and/or Grey Fox will show up in TPP.

    I mentioned this a few pages back, but some time in the 80s is when Big Boss rescues Frank from torture in Mozambique when he's a soldier for RENAMO, which is also where he meets Naomi. And considering Frank loses his nose and ears to torture there, and the fact that like... everybody is losing SOME kind of limb in TPP, I'd be surprised if he doesn't show up.

    I am pretty sure I never found that second ration at least. It's been a while though so I can't be certain.

    MGS2 in the new year (?) should be good, glad to hear he's going to keep at it, given that this was what pushed me over into Premium.

    I hear this is actually revealed to him in a codec conversation, but only on a second playthrough.

    Never seen it myself, not sure if they'll take that codec call into continuity.

    you get this convo after fighting ocelot at the ravine

    I can only assume Snake put the pieces together when he saw the Boss for the last time, but I dunno he's pretty dense in 3
