Metal Gear Solid - A Hideo Kojima Thread - More black lines than a CIA file - Games

[QUOTE=Exooodus;48660977][sp]oh lol I guess that'd be a bit easier than my idea huh.[/sp] :v:[/QUOTE] Well the easiest way is [sp]just shooting the radio in the shack, but I didn't even know you could do that until I saw a youtube video where someone did that.[/sp] [editline]11th September 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=certified;48660398]Ingsoc is as good as confirmed not a hoax. [IMG]http://puu.sh/k7FhL/0f011ec330.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE] So can someone actually explain how this confirms the ARG as real? I don't understand how a community manager posting a weird picture/tweet combo confirms it. Some people on /mgg/ are going mental about it.

does TO BE CONTINUED appear at the end of like every mission now post 29 or so? nothing suspenseful even happened and it just went TO BE CONTINUED and its really fucking dumb because its just screwing with the pacing now

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;48661044]people will force all these random coincidences to fit their narrative "it releases on 9/11 and thats a picture of a plane it must be real"[/QUOTE] Oh wait, that's why they think the image is linked, because 9/11 and a plane? Wow.

Not gonna get my hopes up but we will all see what it is once that timer reaches zero.

[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;48661067]Oh wait, that's why they think the image is linked, because 9/11 and a plane. Wow.[/QUOTE] I guess also there's a bar near the WTC called blackhound or something. I've never seen one of these ARGs/countdowns ever not be fake as fuck

(Slight post-mission 45 spoilers)[sp]I just got a butterfly codename without having Quiet. This game is mocking me.[/sp]

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;48661044]people will force all these random coincidences to fit their narrative "it releases on 9/11 and thats a picture of a plane it must be real"[/QUOTE] It's like the Metal Gear Wikia trying to sell everyone the [sp]cut mission 51[/sp] as canon.

If the ARG actually is real, it's pretty ballsy for Kojima to use 9/11 as a hint for an update

[QUOTE=DMGaina;48661084]It's like the Metal Gear Wikia trying to sell everyone the [sp]cut mission 51[/sp] as canon.[/QUOTE] I'm not saying the ARG 9/11 thing is real, but I'm pretty sure Mission 51 IS canon. [sp]The credits mention Eli's "Kingdom of the Flies" and I think it's safe to say that even with all Metal Gear's supernatural shit Sahelanthropus and the virus didn't just vanish into nothing after Eli stole them.[/sp]

[QUOTE=DMGaina;48661084]It's like the Metal Gear Wikia trying to sell everyone the [sp]cut mission 51[/sp] as canon.[/QUOTE] That ending is canon. It came in the CE.

How do Boasters actually work? The description of their skill says they misrepresent their abilities when scanned with the int scope. Fair enough. But my int scope is max level, and they show the exact same skill levels in the staff management menu. They even level up my units when placed in them. So what gives?

People are silly if they really think an amateurish website with a countdown that ends at 4:20 on 9/11 is going to be anything legit. You guys can laugh at me if I'm wrong and it's actually a super awesome update that solves everyone's problems with the game but that's not going to happen, haha. :hypeisnotreal:

Jesus fuck I've made it up to MGS 4 and just beat it on my journey of the Metal Gear games [sp]That was an intense and fucking amazing way to end Solid Snakes story, all of it was fucking beautifal, I cried so god damn fucking much, Kojima I love you so much.[/sp]

Don't quote me on that though.

[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;48661152]That ending is canon. It came in the CE.[/QUOTE] It's in the CE as CUT CONTENT. It's not in the game. Also the plot element of [sp]Venom going colorblind from time to time was not used in the game's narratives anymore. It was supposed to happen more often, in-game and as part of the story, best example was the white peace sign in Paz Hospital Room. Yes, the "Kingdom of the Flies" is canon but you don't know what happens in that "episode" because it's not in the game.[/sp] Seriously, that's just wishful thinking. It's not part of the game, it consists only of unfinished cutscenes, animations and storyboard pictures. I wish it was in the game but it's not. A bonus video ONLY AVAILABLE in the collectors edition is not concidered as canon. It's like saying that the huge chicken is canon in Portal 2.

The weird thing is why the hell would the game end with [sp] a shot of the New York skyline with the Twin Towers still standing with Eli saying its not over yet [/sp]? It has to have some significance

HOLY FUCK. NO. I forgot to not use [sp]Quiet[/sp] on Mission 42 and now progress is halted. Is there a fix for this or am I permafucked?

[sp]If the person talking was someone from MGS2 then you could just take it as a reference to the ending, but it being Eli saying it makes it make no sense.[/sp]

The timer thing is fucking stupid I have to wait 2h 30m In singleplayer

You go colorblind in the hospital in the very first mission. It also effects blood on the ground and shit as well. In fact, anything red. [URL]http://i.imgur.com/eUXnlFe.jpg[/URL] [URL]http://i.imgur.com/mSoVzIM.jpg[/URL] No, its not like saying some huge chicken in Portal 2 is canon, [sp]the cut episode literally ends showing how liquid and baby mantis get their start. What happened to Sally-Mech and the kids, its not wishful thinking, its an end to shit the game itself builds up, it was an integral part of the story, its not like the cut content was entirely new shit, it was nothing but closure, it is canon or else they wouldnt have shipped it with the CE for people to see.

[QUOTE=Exooodus;48660961]How did you do the C2W one? The best idea I got was to [sp]quickly nab the mortar for long enough to destroy the arrays without getting shot up.[/sp] Subsistence I'm talking about[/QUOTE] You don't even need to destroy the dishes, just destroy the radio equipment in one of the huts. Found that out after an hour and felt really dumb.
