Breaking: Metal Gear game may be a little goofy, game ruined forever

That has always been the case in every iteration of MGO

But suddenly it's a problem

Wow you still don't get it. The problem is that story characters are playable in MGO? NO. The problem is that story characters are playable and can run around with pink wigs and what not.

Thread in full backfire mode.

Zero problem. People can have their opinion, i have mine.

But you could already run around with Raiden in MGS2 while wearing silly wigs!

Why is that an issue when it happens in MGO but not when it happens in the story mode?

Hey, remember how in MGS4 Snake had that Face Camo and so you could put on the faces of other characters in the game like Octacon? That sure wasn't out of place, was it?

Is it confirmed that we can customize story characters in the upcoming MGO? We weren't able to in the previous iteration.

You draw the line at pink wigs, and not the chicken wrap for Big Bosses head?


......................Really?
 
yeah i'd hate it if the game about a man named "naked snake" "john doe," "big boss", and "punished snake" with a robot hand, and a "revolver ocelot" who is a russian cowboy cosplayer who once meowed like a cat and loves to juggle guns and is the son of a ghost medium had anything silly in it

next they'll put in something stupid like a cardboard box that has magical escape hatches and can turn into a 2D cutout of a sexy bikini lady for a soldier to be tricked like a loony tunes bit

Now THAT would be ridiculous.

I assume they also get shot to death every multiplayer game.

Multiplayer doesn't have to adhere to canon, and MGO (and MGS even) was always full of fun goofy stuff.

So what? You can't look at story mode and multiplayer mode separately?

LOL title change

Yeah, I'd quit playing the franchise if any of that crap ever made it in. MGS is serious bizness.

But you don't understand, that cardboard box is in the story mode! It's canon by all means! It's not silly, it's an innovation!

I know what you could do previously but i was just hoping since this is a new MGO they would tone down the silliness a bit. That is all.

Why is that an issue when it happens in MGO but not when it happens in story mode?

The hats purpose is to look silly if you can't do missions and have to switch to "easy mode". You're supposed to look silly.

Again, how is this a problem?

Guessing he probably hasn't played a lot of MGO and is just assuming the items for your custom character can also be used on the story characters.

Sn4ke_911: "Dude, octocamo, DUH!"

I'm a huge MGS fan, but I do have to agree with Durante and others regarding the effect the series sometimes seems to have on people's neurons.
 
They toned down the silliness with MGSV so i was hoping they would do the same with MGO.
 
LOL, that title change got me in stitches.

Honestly, without all of the goofy business, the game wouldn't be the game it is. Even the custom games that people made were amazingly goofy, like zombie and prison.

Sorry m'lady, but don't you know that Sergei Gurlukovich is the only character in this series who wears a ushanka? Please remove it at once, else I fear you will make this game look goofy.
 
Stetsons aren't goofy. Metal Gear Online has to be more goofy than stetsons. Metal Gear's goofiness is one of its selling points, after all.

If they don't release a pumpkin mask for Hallowe'en, they're doing it wrong.

You still didn't explain how is this a problem.

Well you thought wrong, but I see where you could get that idea after the very first MGO trailer ended with Big Boss taking a selfie with Ocelot and tricking a soldier with a cute stuffed puppy and nudie magazine.
