That's awesome! Shame we didn't get that motorcycle as an unlockable item.

I've gone 180 degrees in my opinion of you, Neiteio.
You are a gentleman and a scholar.

If it's the same bike, why does it have less polygons in the future?

.....wear and tear?
I like your read of it, but I just think it makes the pleasingly simple Metal Gear into this unwieldy mess.
It's actually the bike's phantom. The real bike went off to create an automotive nation in Central Asia.
Step up your insurance game bruh, I got full polygon coverage with my job.

I'm pretty chill with most aspects of the plot but I can't believe Chico seriously just fucking died in the helicopter crash.

It's funnier when you realize he was the only one.
And the pilot, I guess.
Fuck Chico.
Morpho was turned into the Medic's phantom. He went on to found Outer Hospital.
And yet the Japanese text makes it clear it's the latter ("種", i.e. "species").
And Morpho...

*Sigh* So I guess that's the last bit of EVA we see in the games. She helped relocate Big Boss and lent him her motorcycle. Anyone notice if the license plate is the same as in 3? Still cool, but another reminder of what could have been. I was seriously looking forward to a motorcycle to switch things up from the four(+) wheel vehicles.
No EVA in person was massively dissapointing though. I guess BB saw her probably, ha, maybe they couldn't put her in because Suzetta Minet (the mysterious pseudonym for the unknown VA of EVA) had disappeared like BB. Obviously not, because Kojima seems not to care too much about VA continuity, but an amusing thought.
Yup, I thought at least he would make the cut into TPP. So dumb not to bring him in TPP as one of the most driving forces for DD's revenge. He could have been a great addition.
Back when I had hope for Gray Fox, Naomi, etc. I thought that Gray Fox and Chico would be like older brothers to Naomi and the child soldiers, with them all having a pseudo familial relationship with Big Boss as the "father". I thought Eli's inferiority complex could have stemmed from feeling like he was being talked down to as a child by GF and Chico, and would hate their close connection to BB. I also thought he'd try to steer their loyalty to himself, but Gray Fox and Chico would be the main reason most stuck with BB.
I have more elaborate thoughts on this but its all meaningless "what if's" now. It's interesting to share these ideas and stuff but I don't want to spend a huge amount of time on it, since its not relevant to the general discussion.
"She said "I'm prepared for the worst." Sounded a little too cheerful to me."
To be fair, she was also said to "miss him" 9 years later, also by secondary source, but at least their is something. I also thought Amanda should have shown up. So many female characters who should have been here but we only got Quiet and Paz. One was an example of needless sexualization and writing contrivances for the sake of drama, and the other was imaginary. At least Paz had an interesting purpose, to show Venom's unravelung mind, and her scenes were the most emotionally investing in the game. Quiet had an alright ending, marred by a needless scene consisting of "attempted rape - triumphant fight back - boob shot", poor gameplay, and contrived justification for the character's sacrifice.
Kojima has no interest making a game about his bland waifu.
I can't believe how little anyone cares about Chico it's borderline ridiculous.
Best part about Chico is yelling "Chicooooooooooooo" while an imaginary mariachi band plays in the background.
I just literally lol'd at this one, haha
I remember thinking to myself there had to be something going on with Chico, he hadn't been seen or mentioned in any of the trailers or anything. Even when they revealed that he died, I thought "no that can't be it, the twist is probably going to be that we're playing as Chico".
That would have been an amazing twist, same reasoning as Venom but something like "we harvested Chico's brain to control this Big Boss clone body". It would've made the Paz scenes more poignant in retrospect.
We should be writers apparently we're great at it.Miller's reaction would be even better.
Ocelot: We brain jacked Chico to pilot a creepy clone body, and Big Boss was super into it.
Miller: What the fuck is wrong with you people?!

Eh he was always kind of a piece of shit even before he effectively caused the whole helicopter explosion coma thing.
Mantis reacts to Chico's lust for revenge against himself, punishment for playing the traitor. The Sahelanthropus fight is really a fight with a mirror image of self-hate.
Its fun to play Kojima, turns out just about anyone can do it
He wasn't so bad the net reaction to his death would be "Who?".

Haven't finished it yet, but I know about the plot twist.
I'm currently on mission 16, and I've been hearing that Act 2 is kinds half-assed, with a lot of repeating missions. And just now I heard that you can finish the story without playing the repeating missions.
Can anyone please tell me which numbered missions are important and which ones can I skip?

It's made very obvious which ones are repeats, you won't select them by accident or anything

Stealth camo. With it you can get in, do tasks and get out very quickly.
When you need to listen to conversations, pick a safe spot away from all enemies and listen with your scope.
Don't worry about rank, and don't try to do them all in one go as some clash and make others extremely frustrating (Back-up, Back Down).

In act 1 you've gotta do all of them. In act 2 you can skip the ones that are obviously repeats (they have quantifiers like SUBSISTENCE or EXTREME). Pro tip: anything with a yellow dot next to it is important for advancement.

When you get to Chapter 2, it's obvious which ones are the repeated missions. They have blue markers instead of yellow, and all have some tag like [Extreme] on them.
To avoid doing those, just do all the important (yellow tagged) missions, side-ops, and cassette tapes. At a couple points you'll run out of important things to do, and at those points you can usually do either 1 repeated hard mission or 3 side-ops to advance the story.

The lack of Chico or Amanda is such a shame. I mean, I guess as we don't go to Central America there isn't really a reason for her to show up but there could have been. How cool would it have been to go to Central America and see Amanda leading and Chico all grown up (after recovering from the crash and going to help his sister out).
But nah, Chico dies. Would have been nice to see the effect Big Boss has on child soldiers, how Chico turned out after spending time and doing work for BB and then leaving him to go back to his family and country. Like, would he be pissed at BB, would he miss him, would he know Venom isn't really Big Boss?

Can confirm but it has to be done on 9/11 while you have the Mission 51 video playing in the background. You need to develop the last nuke right as little Liquid shouts "IT'S NOT OVER YET!".
Twin Towers was a reference to 9/11 which in Europe (Liquid's home) is November 9 which is written in American (Venom's home) as 9/9 which reduces to 3/3
Once nine out of nine November nukes are developed Chapter 3 out of 3 unlocks and reveals the true ending.

I don't know if it's even possible.
Maybe you could do it by immediately taking out the search team and rescuing the prisoner they're going after, then head north above the supply outpost and take out all the vehicles from there?
When the tanks/helo come you don't have a time limit anymore, so you're free to get the remaining prisoners, if none of them are scripted to be executed, that is.

In other news, I got 100% in Ground Zeroes again yesterday/today and man... TPP sure plays a hell of a lot smoother. GZ movement is so stiff in comparison.
That roll after diving off a ledge is so smooth. Cracked the biggest grin the first time it fired off.
I've developed a route but I can't get the timing right to save the prisoner while simultaneously blowing up one of the vehicles with c4

There's only one prisoner that gets killed if you take too long, iirc. You could stop the first two vehicles and get to them in time

You'll have to refresh my memory about when these two things happen. I don't recall anybody fawning over Chico or him being solid at anything ever.
