I actually cant believe I'm having trouble understanding this games plot. I understood MGS1 plot very easily and undertood MGS2's plot easily too, but I can't seem to understand the plot for MGS3.

The main thing that is bothering me is who is working for who. From what I understood:

EVA was pretending to work for the KGB but was really working for the chinese government.

Snake was working FOX.

The Boss was pretending to work for Volgin but was really working for the american philosophers/ the patriots

Ocelot was doing the same thing as the Boss. Ocelot was also ADAM

Now, if Ocelot and The Boss both wrok for the American government, then why did they try and kill Snake or was the only time The Boss tried to kill snake in that final battle?

Also, were Ocelot and The Boss working together. They were both trying to get the Philosophers Legacy for they same person werent they?

Why was The Boss only allowed to be killed by Snake and why could she not kill herself. I understood that it was so America could prove their innocence, but I could be wrong.

EVA says that the public were not allowed to know about the defection of The Boss and that Volgin destroyed Sokolovs design bereau. Didn't Kurschev say that the Russian public knew about the destrucion of the design bereau and why was it neccessary to make sure no one knew that the Boss defected?

You know there is a stickied MGS3 topic right? No offense but you should try and ask in that thread where its already being discussed rather then spamming the frontpage with another MGS3 topic.

But the game is underperforming so we gotta flood the forum with MGS3 threads!!!

You're the guys that are spamming, did you really have to post those comments?

No one will notice this post if I put it in the MGS3 thread. I'll try putting it in their and I'll see if anyone answers

I think the plot in MGS3 is easy to follow and pretty much every significant event is clearly explained.

well, considering the title of the thread is "Just completed MGS3 for the second time and I still cant understand the plot", you would have to be really dumb not to know that there would be spoilers and if you don't want the game to be ruined for you, you shouldnt enter.

Both Ocelot and The Boss were searching for Philosophers legacy , but in different ways , I think that no one really knew what the others was doing .

I liked better the explanation about The Boss doing this cause the dead of The Sorrow but at the end The Boss was just another puppet in Patriots thread .
