I swear, Big Boss is the definition of a troll. Just Like Kojima. Kojima really is big boss. also, I don't know if it's a bug, but schneider never called me to tell me where the gas mask was. I never found it. Luckily using rations was enough to overcome the gas until the end.

Yeah, and a troll is a monster - a demon! Big Boss must have gone through some **** to become a manipulative ******* like this lol.

Not sure who Schneider is, though. Probably the resistance guy?

I just began playing MGS3. It will take some time getting used to, since MGS2 is still so fresh in my mind. When I'm done, i will play MG2, PO, PW and finish with IV. Then i will be ready for TPP.

I see. MGS3 is more James Bond-ish and very cheesy. It intentionally doesn't explain many things since there's no need to. Also, it's kinda humourous too - the main character's more of a chill guy. And if you go with this light-hearted tone, you may be shocked towards the end.

Enjoy! If you like it, that is.

Stupid nitpicking, but everything else in that picture has unbelievable and well defind textures, then you look at his fingers...

 

[Spade]

So...the trailer leaked. Someone on Konami JP's YouTube account is getting a scolding.

Lots of bewildering moments, but I liked it. This is already gorier than any other MGS game and it's not even out yet.

*Critical levels of hype reached*

EVERYBODY ABOARD THE RUSE CRUISE!!!

 

[Benstamania]

Well, if that trailer is any indication I hope we do t get scolded for taking people out rather than stunning them. If Big Boss is out for vengeance I want it to be vengeance dammit.. Not a "aw, don't kill them" type deal.

 

[Benstamania]

Also, I still hate the **** out if that "horn."

 

[Havok83]

GZ is under $10 and $15 for PS3 and PS4 on PSN tomorrow

Well Boss is making diamonds out of dead bodies. If the diamonds are to fund Diamond Dogs then this will be the first Metal Gear that actually gives you incentive to kill.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Were you ever really "scolded" for killing people in previous games? You got better rankings for non-lethal and stuff, but the game itself didn't really punish you for being lethal. I would be disappointed if there wasn't a non-lethal option, if that's what you're getting at.

 

[Ajendo]

Lol at BB owning Liquid.

BB has clearly gone mad. I love how he's literally forcing the MSF soldier to stab him.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I wonder about the actual context of those scenes, though. I remember in the trailer last year it seemed like Boss was choking out Chico out of rage and torturing Paz, but what was actually happening was starkly different.

I don't think MGS2 has anything other than the metanarrative of Solidus being right about the player/Raiden being a sadistic murderous monster no better than the villains.

MGS3 has the river of Sorrow.

MGS4 has Snake vomit if he kills too many.


I'm not saying it would be lethal only, but if we assume the higher ranks are the "canon" ranks. Then it shows the madness Boss has descended into, he no longer views killing as something that should be avoided, but pursued to further his goals (ie diamonds from corpses replacing GMP), and as such be the first game to do so.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, but those are fairly weak punishments. The river of Sorrow is maybe the biggest one, but even that one isn't bad really since you're supposed to fail it anyway. I don't see how ranks can be canon?

I don't know, I still hope we have a non-lethal option. I don't want to be forced to play a way I generally don't.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

So I've been playing MGS4 for old time sake. just finished beating it. Probably one of my favorites. Nothing will beat Metal Gear Solid though.

Gonna try at some point to get Ground Zeroes.

Well it wouldn't be the actual rank that is canon, just the constraints applied to receive it. Would Big Boss or Solid Snake really be so well respected as solo sneakers if they constantly alerted soldiers or killed them?

I'm betting there will be a non-lethal option. There always is, and I think it will be harder to expand DD that way. Big Boss isn't a good guy anymore. He's a warlord, and he needs money to further his wars, he makes it from diamonds from the bodies of dead allies/enemies.

I don't know, that seems like looking way, way too much into the ranking system to me.

I'm aware of this, but that doesn't really matter to what I'm talking. I like to play non-lethally as I have pretty much every game in the franchise. I don't find this related to the story.

 

[Boom]

Surprised no one has commented on the new trailer yet.

"Holy ****," is all I can say.

it's cause it's being repeatedly taken down by Konomi in place that put it up and Spade did in fact mentioned it.

Huh? There's comments just a few posts up...

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

The highest rank is named after one of the main characters.

Doesn't seem like a huge leap really.

Well then your pretty much in a T3 situation:

Spoiler

Tough ******* Tron

You're playing the game as a maniacal nuclear terrorist who murders.

You had to kill the first three too.
