I know this is a big ask (and most likely a no) but would it be possible to trade in my Japanese PS4 premium code for the equivalent PC DLC. Please.

Again sorry for asking this. Please don't think poorly for me for doing so.

I don't think there is an equivalent on PC... But if there was I would be unable to do anything, the codes we have are already allocated to various teams.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.

how is this even possible

He has plenty of character when he talks. The fight scene and the funeral scene in particular show him as a sensitive, reserved man who is even a bit of a poet. He's more aloof and introspective than Boss, and carries his charisma in a different way.

Making him into a psuedo player avatar is this game's greatest sin, IMO. V would be much more interesting as a fully fleshed out character with more dialogue and history.

Serious question...

Why was there ever a need to use Big Boss's genetics to improve soldier potential? After Venom, it's revealed that all anyone would need to do is use hypno therapy to implant Bog Boss's combat therapy on to anyone else. You can literally take a medic, a type of soldier that has a minimal combat role, and you've got a badass on par with the man himself. On that note, I really wish that they made Venom any type of other soldier. Seriously? A medic? Why not a water purifier? I'm looking at you Pauly Shore; You're next.

The answer to every problem in this game is Kojima didn't think it through.

This is basically the reason why I'm going to hypnotize myself to forget the story of MGSV.

Making webpages and some phone calls to plant various things that somewhat relate, will make a thread in 3 months to start us connecting it all causing head transpant 2.0

Apparently I'm in need of a head transplant. Moby Dick was missing it's EPILOGUE, not prologue.

Thanks.
It's edited though. First part is from the first try (mainly because pretty shadows on the wall) and from the end of cutscene it's try no.4.

It's an easy way to get fast results than use hypnotherapy on shit tons of people that may take a long ass while to achieve which is what we got in MGS1, many genome soldiers ready to go. I also don't think Ocelot has the time to use hypnotherapy on fuck tons of people.

is it stated that Ocelot himself hypnotized Venom? I'm at the end of Chapter 1. I haven't had much time to play since I moved in with the girlfriend. Anyhow, I see your point. However, the gene therapy was a failure due to the mutations (they needed Big Boss's remains to cure said mutations if I recall). Not to mention, I'm sure there are plenty of injured soldiers that they could have susbjected to similar treatment as Venom concurrently with the gene therapy program. Of course, the true answer is that the events of V hadn't even been thought up yet. But still...

Without saying anything to spoil you, you'll be getting a bunch of very interesting tapes once you're done with the ending.

Because
Big Boss isn't actually that special. Zero just thought he was. He was just a soldier put into some crazy circumstances and became Big Boss. He's a man like everyone else.
Hell, that is proved in MGS3.

Seriously though, the entire theme of the MGS series is that
genetics don't mean jack shit but everyone in the world thinks it does. Zero included.

This is also proven in the MGS4 final fight when they have the (tagged for those with no context on previous posts, only a mgs4 thing though)
"I was the dominant one"
thing. Also in class but will write up on that when I get back in a few hours and a thing I've always wondered- a discussion point.

Okay, sooo

In MGS4- when they talk about having the dominant genes- do they mean superior? I've talked about this with many people and we tended to agree it can be interpreted either way, but yeah, it's worth discussing.
The thing is, if you meant dominant as superior, it makes sense. However, when talking about genes, dominant has a proper meaning. And having the genes that are dominant doesn't necessarily mean they're superior- to have the dominant genes could be a major flaw to yourself, causing the whole obsession by Liquid to be even more nonsensical.

Whats your takes on it?

I think it is either a translation error, Kojima misunderstanding the terms/science, or Kojima understanding the science and not giving a fuck because it's a pretty good motivation for a bad guy.

I like the fact that the central relationship between Solid and Liquid is basically an anime retelling of Twins.

Exactly the same with me. I remember when I first got quiet everyone decided to watch me play and I was like shiiittttt. Luckily they left right before quiet showed up and the tit and ass shots began.
And yeah after the
full suit
I always use her now.

My girl gave me the business when she saw me playing most recently. She called me a pig because I chose the "naked, big boobed girl with a gun" rather than the cute little puppy. Then she proceeded to give me a lesson in the female anatomy 😏 COPULATION. Seriously, how many times does Code Talker explain parasites with that schtick? I've heard it 3 times so far.

Code Talker would say.

Don't turn that dial now, we're just getting started.

3 is just an intro to what awaits for you. :)
