He didn't wear it in MG1, he might've worn it out of a strange sense of respect the same way Big Boss used to wear The Boss' after... you know. So maybe Solid took it up after he did what he did. I wouldn't entirely mind if the bandanna is something that comes full circle since it's so incredibly iconic That being said though, I think Venom Snake [I]shouldn't[/I] wear it, mainly because I think Venom Snake is supposed to be an unfriendly, hostlie version of the character we love. So I quite like that it's optional, but I won't be using it.

Which is good, at this point, he shouldnt be wearing it.

Right? I get that it's fanservice and that's groovy with me but Big Boss with the horn looks so fucking EVIL. I love it. He looks like a fallen hero going off the edge.

Unpopular opinion time: I think the horn is an unnecessarily hamfisted way of showing Big Boss turning evil.

I very faintly see the horn peeking through the top of the bandana I also notice his shadow has his hair unlike gz, im glad they fixed that

MGS4 ending spoilers: [sp]Doesn't BB call SS his brother? I thought that was a nice touch because being a father is some tough shit and too much of a responsibility for BB or anyone, but calling him his otouto acknowledges him as family and puts him in a position where he can accept himself.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;48145031]I think considering the other one is floating in a bay somewhere, we can safely assume it isn't [sp]The Boss's[/sp] and therefore doesn't carry the same significance.[/QUOTE] The final upgrade you can research will be fishing out The Boss's bandana

so I was playing civ with my friends and of course I had to rename my cities... [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/446204222617871999/88E1350876717C46EAF17AE42ED908BBBA67B713/[/t]

A bit out of touch here with this but I'm seeing a lot of people complain about repetitive sounds(Quiet's humming, BB "Hiya!") but hasn't the series always had that same sound cliché for everything?

WHOSE FOOTPRINTS ARE THESE?

[QUOTE=LTJGPliskin;48144170]Obligatory. [t]http://i.imgur.com/Jmn2jUI.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] In my opinion big Boss is a infinitely more interesting character due to being a hero who fell from grace and became a villain, and for valid reasons. Solid Snake is just the stereotypical hero archetype but flipped and altered a little to show war is bad. It really works in Snake's arc and is great but Big Boss serves that purpose is way better and made more interesting.

Had to flip it but: [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/rQM2o5.png[/img]

All three of his games were just him dicking around being a fucking goof. After 3 he just kept whining about The Boss, and didn't even have much character development. Meanwhile, Kojima was just shoving a bunch of characters and plot elements from Solid's story in there to try and tie everything together like fucking George Lucas. The entire point of Big Boss's story is to see him becoming a villain, and we needed 4 games for that to happen, where it should have taken no more than 2. Solid Snake actually got character development. He went from a young FOXHOUND recruit all the way to a tired old man who gave up everything to keep the world safe. Meanwhile, Big Boss was whining about The Boss for 10 years straight and didn't give a shit about anything else. He killed tons of people with no problem, and still had this dumbass goofy personality. Solid Snake was actually a character. He showed emotion, pain, remorse, and even love and compassion. Big Boss babbles on about guns and cardboard boxes like fucking Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. Solid went through everything. He saved the world a multitude of times, but lost so many people doing so. Big Boss lost his mentor/mother figure and a bunch of faceless mercenaries. Big Boss is a fucking joke.

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;48146248]A metal gear game with hamfisted symbolism? It can't be! :v: Hamfisted or not, you can't deny Big Boss makes a horrific injury look bloody badass.[/QUOTE] I feel like it's a lazy way of showing that he's evil and if it grows as he gets more so then it's case in point really. Although he became pretty fucking evil, it always seemed to me that Big Boss saw justice behind his actions. It doesn't feel right for him to suddenly look like robot Satan and say stuff like "I'm already a demon." I hope the game has gradual character progression that we're yet to see.
