Metal Gear Solid - Tactical Megathread Action VIII - We Are Diamond Dogs!

[QUOTE=RikohZX;47395836]I still don't get this. It's not even just a meme anymore, it's a [i]genuine theory[/i] that people are spouting adamantly. Like they tried hypnotizing themselves into thinking it's real like Ocelot did to pretend he was Liquid in MGS4.[/QUOTE]

They think that Ocelot chopped his own arm and leg off, waddled around with a cane with an exact look alike of himself on Mother Base. Then years later he trained Solid Snake and helped him kill Big Boss (which makes no sense if Ocelot is actually Miller).

Then Ocelot got a brand new artificial arm filled with human blood, allowed Gray Fox to chop his arm off for no reason, then had Liquid's arm transplanted onto himself, then he removed that arm and got another artificial arm.

A Hideo Kojima game.

Or not, am I right Konami? Heyoooooooo.

[Janus Vesta]

Too soon.

[Dr.C]

Hey if MGSV sucks, it's a big fuck you to Konami and their name is tarnished even further![sp]and it means I wasted $109 and it means every series I like (mass effect, dragon age, STALKER, Stargate, spongebob) is eventually murdered brutally[/sp]

[IlluminatiRex]

ok just realized that I could still preorder the collector's edition on Gamestop's website AND I don't get charged until it ships.

Hella happy.

[Yummy Pie]

It still says "A Hideo Kojima game" on the Steam page :v:

[PotatoArmada]

Anyone know what the 24MB update is about?

[QUOTE=Yummy Pie;47397492]It still says "A Hideo Kojima game" on the Steam page :v:[/QUOTE]

Steam version confirmed canon only

[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;47397514]Anyone know what the 24MB update is about?[/QUOTE]

Just played around with it a bit. Can't see any changes. Must've been minor.

[PotatoArmada]

I keep hoping they fix the sensitivity issues with snipers and binoculars, but they haven't done anything yet.

[RaikohZX]

Was being able to select music for your chopper always available in the PC version, or was it just [i]custom[/i] music that was disabled?

Why does the Colonel sound so bored in mgs2? It's not just him either, everyone treats Raiden like a moron except for Rose who is contrarily really nice to him. It's like they're all playing mind games with him.

Not far. I just beat Fatman.

Yeah okay. Just wait it out and enjoy.

[Egevened]

metal gear trivia time again

while subsistance was chosen because it sounds cool, MGS2's re-release was called Substance because of the album Kojima listened to while writing the game

[video=youtube;tyTtC5hmQDQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyTtC5hmQDQ[/video]

kinda makes you understand why the game was like it is

Please keep us updated.

[IlluminatiRex]

man you're in for one hell of a ride in mgs2

speaking of which, there are so many god damn VR missions. But I will 100% the game dammit.

[Spookly]

[QUOTE=JesterUK;47398314]Not far. I just beat Fatman.[/QUOTE]

for whatever reason a bunch of the VA for mgs2 really phoned it in, especially the colonel. stories still really great though; just stick with it till the end.

There's also a nightclub called Outer Heaven, that's hosting a "masquerade night" full of Konami characters.

They don't much like it when you interrupt the show.

This is of course saying nothing of lil' Metal Gear Mark II, but we've all known that Kojima's a self-referencing cuss for years.

iirc that community manager at konami said that they didn't have time to put it in and something about having to license the mp3 format again

[JackAttack]

Can someone please repost that image showing everyone why Plissken is Great and why Snake sucks.

[Shugo]

Kojima is still alive.

Not that I actually thought he was dead, but it's good to see living proof that he's still working on the game rather than Konami's carefully-worded PR.

People thought he was dead??

[Fosax]

Kojima has been dead since 2008, all this time it's been Decoy Octopus pretending to be him

No, it's Pliskin.

[TheAlkaline]

I'm hoping we get to see a young version of Solid Snake and/or Liquid Snake in the Phantom Pain. Otherwise, I'm excited for the release!

given how definiteively final Metal Gear 4 was, and it had a throwback from every character who was still alive, and MGSV is purpoting to be much the same thing I'd expect lots of cameos. I fully expect Gray Fox and all of Foxhound to show up at somepoint.
Fanboyish? maybe but this man loves that shit
