Chapter 3 Peace!

Damn, so it really did exist. How unfortunate.

 

[Jawmuncher]

What if the other half of the game is sitting somewhere and Konami is just waiting for Kojima to leave.

 

[Dug]

Too accurate to just be random imo

The original reddit poster admitted it was fake a couple of days later.

 

[throwawayname]

What do you know? WHOOOOOO?!

"The enemy sniper"

 

[jediyoshi]

Everyone is so desperate for some hidden secret, it's sad really.

The sadder part is that you don't have to be too desperate for them to pop up in the first place.

 

[megalowho]

Don't do this to yourselves, guys. I know ya'll are smart enough to know how game development works and how tons of things get cut and modified over time for all sorts of reasons. Let go of that phantom pain and just enjoy MGSV for what it is.

 

[105.Will]

Can some one link me to the disappointment counter? im a little lltp on this.

 

[Hasney]

If you're sick of Miller questioning who you Fulton, just run around the first Afghan mission fultoning people for Ocelots take on your Fulton addiction

so he guessed and faked names like Metallic Archaea and Truth : The man who sold the world?

what ever happened with the canavero clone? the real guy? i remember he said he was taking all of it to his lawyers. But don't recall if anything came out of it.

The Konami Yakuza got to him.

 

[Royal Rainbow]

Oh, I agree that some aspects could've beend handled better, even outside the story. Since we had mandatory side-ops anyways, some of the main missions could've been just those. I think there should've been an better disc one villain. The first part was entirely driven by the "mystery" of Skullface that everybody already knew. They should've made the first part about the ex-MSF soldier that wanted revenge and was conducting an operation that Snake had to stop in the first main missions or something. Or make Skullface a proper Disc One villain and have him interact with Snake during the missions. Other than being super "mysterious" in Where Do Bees Sleep.

Yeah, Skull Face was pretty tame and boring. His plot was pretty interesting though with destroying the English language. I think Skull Face might have been intentionally not very evil. I kinda felt like he was set up to highlight Venom being the more evil of the two. But then Venom continues on to do things that don't seem very evil while he has an elongated horn and blood dripping off of him. It seems like there were scenes cut from the game where Venom does something actually horrific. Anyway to me it seemed like skull face was never meant to be the main villain. Who could know what Kojima intended though?

ex-MSF soldiers would have been really cool.

 

[brau]

The Konami Yakuza got to him.

oh shit... the lalelulelo~!

Konami called it.

 

[Death Metalist]

or better yet Sahelanthropus.

 

[Sub_Level]

Holy shit this post from 2 years ago in a Ground Zeroes thread was prophetic as fuck.

 

[CambriaRising]

or better yet Sahelanthropus.

He said he used the Achievements, which have those names in them.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

or better yet Sahelanthropus.

it was the parasites

he sees everything

 

[Death Metalist]

Holy shit this post from 2 years ago in a Ground Zeroes thread was prophetic as fuck.

But it isn't bad. I'm still playing it and enjoying the shit out of it, gameplay wise which is what's most important is 10/10. Story wise though? that's where it's a mixed bag but even then it attempts to do things other games don't, like every MGS, there isn't anything like it out there.

 

[Marty-esque]

Wait can I still use Quiet now?

 

[PensivePen]

Maybe this is just the Phantom Kojima and the real Kojima is busy working on MGS5.

 

[Sub_Level]

Oh I don't think the game is bad either. It will probably be my goty in fact. But I'm just playing along with the story disappointment and the fact that Konami fired Kojima.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Another blow, seems like the MSX tape from INTRUDE was just a random game.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Holy shit this post from 2 years ago in a Ground Zeroes thread was prophetic as fuck.

Except MGSV isn't "bad" it's just the story is unfinished/messy and missing the final boss battle.

He already made MGS4 as bad as he wanted to and still had to keep making more.

 

[Alienous]

or better yet Sahelanthropus.

Ugh.

It was combined preview and achievement information. Achievements and achievement descriptions mentioned "Metallic Archea", "Sahelanthropus", etc.

 

[Royal Rainbow]

Maybe this is just the Phantom Kojima and the real Kojima is busy working on MGS5.

This must have been the work of Punished Kojima

 

[indigo-cyclops]

So when are we going to find out what this whole " we're doing something you can only do with video games" bit is?

 

[Spaghetti]

well at least we have confirmation a whole chapter was cut.

also get out of here calling skull face's VA bad. it was deliciously hammy in the best way.

 

[crazyrabbits]

So when are we going to find out what this whole " we're doing something you can only do with video games" bit is?

That was something to do with the GZ savefile bonus.

“People who own GZ will be able to play a different mission(s) at Camp Omega in TPP. That’s the current plan. There’s something of a big feature involved. It’s never been done in the games industry before. So I can’t go into detail about it, but I think when you experience it for yourselves you’ll be surprised. It’s something that’s only possible through video games.”

Whatever it is didn't pan out, evidently.

 

[poodpick]

So when are we going to find out what this whole " we're doing something you can only do with video games" bit is?

Probably got cut

 

[Sub_Level]

Is it really confirmation? It wouldn't be surprising in the least but at the same time making a black screen with white text saying CHAPTER 3: PEACE is not exactly the hardest thing for a fan to make a photo of either.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Probably got cut

Thought so. No surprise there.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

I find it hard to believe there was going to be an entire other chapter given how long the game already is. A few cut missions? Yeah. But not another chapter.

 

[piccio_ssl]

He said he used the Achievements, which have those names in them.

Ugh.

It was combined preview and achievement information. Achievements and achievement descriptions mentioned "Metallic Archea", "Sahelanthropus", etc.

now it makes sense
thanks guys

 

[Zabant]

I think Skull Face might have been intentionally not very evil.

He did rape and torture a woman, then force a minor to then rape that woman under threat of execution.

So, pretty evil.

 

[Hasney]

Thought so. No surprise there.

Well I don't think you can fire rockets and zebras and the only thing that happens is you get aa text message that says your hero score has gone down in anything but video games. I don't even think they track that in the army.

 

[Chariot]

I find it hard to believe there was going to be an entire other chapter given how long the game already is. A few cut missions? Yeah. But not another chapter.

Not like chapter 2 is that long though. A third chapter could amount to just a few missions plus harder older missions.

 

[Ozium]

So when are we going to find out what this whole " we're doing something you can only do with video games" bit is?

watch it simply be the fact that YOU are Venom Snake!

"NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE IN GAMES I THINK" -kojima

 

[Sumio Mondo]

Revive characters from the dead? "You're not actually playing as the guy I have led you to think you are. Har dee har." - Kojima.

Or the Phantom Pain theme of disappointment with how things feel unresolved and we're left clamouring? Meta Gear.

 

[poodpick]

He did rape and torture a woman, then force a minor to then rape that woman under threat of execution.

So, pretty evil.

Not to mention all the people used as guinea pigs to produce the strains of parasite he wanted.

 

[PensivePen]

I find it hard to believe there was going to be an entire other chapter given how long the game already is. A few cut missions? Yeah. But not another chapter.

Well, Kojima was originally saying he wanted the game to be "300 times larger than Ground Zeroes"

 

[Ozium]

I find it hard to believe there was going to be an entire other chapter given how long the game already is. A few cut missions? Yeah. But not another chapter.

I find it hard to believe that you seperate your game into CHAPTERS when it really only has 1.5 of them.

 

[Hasney]

He did rape and torture a woman, then force a minor to then rape that woman under threat of execution.

So, pretty evil.

Seems innocent enough, but I'm probably desensitised to it compared to Huey "Cuntface" Emmerich

 

[DeSolos]

"NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE IN GAMES I THINK" -kojima

Either this, or Episode 43 where you yourself must execute each of your infected troops.

 

[Death Metalist]

He said he used the Achievements, which have those names in them.

It's weird though that many were spot on and are not related to achievements and how it almost mimics the actual mission list.

His list.

Episode 1 : Phantom Limbs
Episode 2 : Diamond Dogs
Episode 3 : A Hero’s Way
Episode 4 : C2W
Episode 5 : Over The Fence
Episode 6 : Where Do The Bees Sleep
Episode 7 : Occupation Force
Episode 8 : Red Brass
Episode 9 : Back Up, Back Down
Episode 10: Angel With A Broken Wing
Episode 11: Cloaked In Silence

In Game

Yet there isn't a mission named Lingua Franca(14) which sorta makes me want to believe him that he made it all up but who the fuck knows lol.

Ugh.

It was combined preview and achievement information. Achievements and achievement descriptions mentioned "Metallic Archea", "Sahelanthropus", etc.

Remember, this is all in good fun. Some people really are "NO FUN ALLOWED" all up in here when it comes to theories and discussions lol.

 

[Alienous]

"NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE IN GAMES I THINK" -kojima

Yeah, of course that's it.

I want to know what was up with Ground Zeroes' Camp Omega, though.

 

[Royal Rainbow]

He did rape and torture a woman, then force a minor to then rape that woman under threat of execution.

So, pretty evil.

Forgot about that. He doesn't really do anything of that caliber in TPP though.

 

[Chariot]

Either this, or Episode 43 where you yourself must execute each of your infected troops.

It was said im context of Camp Omega though.

 

[RandomSeed]

Lots of speculation for everyone.
