Story SPOILERS!!! for MGS4-don't look if you don't want spoilers, moron
This is the thread for discussing the story in MGS4. This is NOT the general MGS4 thread. You have been warned.
The strategy guide was released early so some story spoilers came out with it.
HUGE FUCKING SPOILERS
seriously
Big Boss not being dead seems pretty stupid to me. The spoilers I saw makes it also sound like Big Boss is more of a hero.
Raiden dieing seems pretty predictable in retrospect considering ninjas always die in MGS games.
The Vamp having nanomachines that automatically heal him somehow breaks my suspension of disbelief.
The Patriots being AI makes me really miss the good old days when secret shadow governments could consist of humans.

regarding those spoilers
seriously
big
spoilers
About Big Boss: seems like he just comes back for some sort of flashback or something and that he isn't really alive. There isn't any solid information regarding his role yet other then that he somehow tells Snake about the Patriots.
Regarding Raiden: he might not die. Apparently the dude who got the game early and is posting all the new pictures and spoilers said that it seemed like Raiden died but his body disappeared so he may have survived after all.
Vamp is a douche and I don't care how he dies as long as he does.
It doesn't seem like all the Patriots are AI yet, haha.

The only Patriots who aren't AI from the spoilers I read either defected or are ina coma.

They aren't being douche bags, they just don't want to be spoiled, which is reasonable in my opinion. I don't necessarily agree with them but fuck it, I didn't make the thread.

Major Zero is gross looking
The fucking thread says spoilers on it. Just because they have no self control doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to talk about it.

Not that I disagree with you but it really isn't worth the e-drama, in my opinion. I couldn't care less which thread I talk about Vamp and Raiden's gay love affair in.

Raiden dieing seems pretty predictable in retrospect considering ninjas always die in MGS games.

The Patriots being AI makes me really miss the good old days when secret shadow governments could consist of humans.
Vamp being healed by nanomachines break your suspension of disbelief? That's pretty much one of the biggest potential applications of nanomachines, although it's obviously in the realm of science fiction for now, I would wager it can and will happen in the not-to-distant future

Nanomachines can't creat something out of nothing. Vamp's nanomachines can apparently even heal a bullet to the head and somehow vamp won't be fucked up. You should just be able to change him into chunky salsa with a rocket launcher or grenade and he shouldn't be able to come back unless he is the terminator.

They don't have to create something from nothing, all they need to do is break damaged tissue into its component molecules and then put it back together.

It should be impossible for nanomolecules to put every single brain cell back in the right place. Besides that, a lot of tissue would be lost if he was shot enough times. It should still be impossible for them to save him if Snake just threw a grenade at him or shot him with a rocket launcher.

I guess that largely depends on whether he simply *has* nanomachines to fix him up, or is in fact made from nothing *but* nanomachines.

Wouldn't the second one basically make him the Terminator? That would actually be awesome.

Who believed that? Anyone who played MGS2 knows Vamp isn't a vampire, from the very apparent fact that you have a sniper fight with him in broad daylight.
About the very first spoiler in this thread
huge
fucking
spoilers
I really hope to God that the whole Big Boss being alive thing just applies to the past. It would be bad, from a story point, if he were still alive. I feel it would ruin his character, as well as the whole of MGS3.

big one here
are you still clicking?
he is not alive during the game itself, but during a flashback to just prior to the game, wherein he meets Snake at Boss' grave and contracts Foxdie, killing him

Pretty sure you're wrong
spoiler here
big spoiler
you've been warned
He is alive. The jist of it from what I understand, he never was actually killed, the Patriots recovered his body, his DNA used in the SOP program and then was basically put into a coma. He gets out of it at the end of the game and that's when he meets up with Snake to basically give him a run down of what happened.
Wait. People play the MGS series for a story? Why would any of these be a spoiler? haha
I play Metal Gear to hear, "snake? Snake! SNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKEEE!"
But seriously, don't listen to the haters, spoil away. I love the Metal Gear series and will get this game when I get a PS3, but I have self control and don't have to read spoilers if I don't want to.

I heard that he received FOXDIE from Snake, and Ocelot pretended Solidus' bodies was Big Boss' body in order to trick Eva into killing herself. Eva saw the body burning, assumed it was Big Boss' body, and burned up with him. I'm not sure if it is true.
About Ocelot,
Are you telling me that he planned out pretty much every event since the first MGS story, planned to get his arm cut off, pretended to be possessed by Snake, and got killed by Snake in order to destroy the Patriots? What is he, that kid from Death Note?

He purposely receives FOXDIE from Snake at the end of the game.
and about Ocelot,
I think that's pretty much it. Although I've read nothing about how long Ocelot has been planning this.
Ocelot helped creates what is known as the patriots today, realizes his mistake and in MGS he plans out how to take them down. I'm sure he's working for someone. in MGS3 we saw him triple cross people. He doesn't care about anything other than his own being and what he thinks the world should be.

He was probably retconed into just pretending to be an amoral bastard. He respected Big Boss in MGS3 so I don't think he is that evil.

Truly the lamest post of all time.
I'm sorry but you're not better than Pancake.
I dunno, LewieP is:
A. Likeable
and
B. Provides useful deals for Brits.
So that puts him far ahead of someone notable for picking fights with TSR.

Its more beliveable then "omg hes a vampire!!!"
I never asked for this!

Because I like that scenario much better.
I dunno, it was on some big MGS spoiler forum, so I assume it's from either the guide or someone playing the game.
Come on Thursday!!
Pretty sure you're wrong
Femtotech might be small enough to have that effect... I wonder if it's just Kojima misunderstanding the scale of nanotech...
Actually he's probably just making shit up.
