I still can't believe MGS5 had zombies

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Imagine a Zombie mode taking place on Mother Base, like a horde /COD Zombies type thing.
Or even the Ground Zeroes Body Snatcher mission again but at Mother Base.

That's kinda internally consistent, isn't it? All of the Frogs in MGS4 were women because they were the best suited for it, right?
With the [EXTREME] tag, it's supposed to represent a repeat mission.
The frogs are the worst "elite" force in the whole series though.
I mean Maryl and Akiba took care of dozens of them while arguing and making out.
The dates aren't explicitly non-canon, and given that most of the side-ops are heavily implied to take place in the game's universe, I wouldn't rule them out. And even then, there's the fight in the showers, the onsen scene - his lust is undeniable.
It could just be a signifier of the parasite strain or the unit they belong to, not an ID for the individual Skull. Every subtype has their own number - 02, E2 and 00(?)
Kojima found a way to force them into MGS4 as well, so it wasn't completely unprecedented. The only change was what he called the nanomachines.
Uh, six shots are more than enough to kill anything that movies

Armored Skulls also have "02"
Maybe to represent MALE OR FEMALE?
(read that with code talker's voice)
He didn't, pay attention to the scene.
I took it as maybe a warning that kaz was going to train solid snake and then that would end up getting fake boss killed and outer heaven destroyed.

So after all that happened, REX was still the strongest and best Metal Gear ever?

He didn't. It's an IV bag leaking, it's just framed and cut to look like he's pissing himself because
fuck if I know

He already pissed himself when Volgin was punching the fuck out of him in 3.
Original story for revenge ancestors was supposed to have zombies iirc

It's not the vocal cord parasites Skullface attacks him with. Some other unnamed disease. Probably a parasite of some sort though because everything in this game is fucking parasites.
On that note did anyone actually give a fuck that Volgin was the fire bro? I mean not having that plot point doesn't actually change the story significantly.
you could say that about quite a few plot points in this game!
Just finished The Phantom Pain at last. Wish I hadn't accidentally read about the ending revelation. I assume I'm just going to repeat everything that had already been said but; overall I enjoyed the game emensley, Chapter One was miles better than Chapter Two by a long stretch. Best gameplay in the series but definitely most lacking in the story department. Not sure how replayable this will feel if I come to do a marathon of the series at the some point in the future.
Characters felt underdeveloped and underused or acted completely different from past entries. Still feel a bit cheated we didn't actually experience Outer Haven. Good send off for Kojima but I think MGS4 was a better conclusion.

Holy shit i forgot. Yeah it probably was this medical bag.

I just realized I was staring at Big Boss's butt in the intro
He was also a cartoon villain drained of all the cartoon villain fun
So I finished Chapter 1 last night (I restarted a bunch) My game is at 60% currently having done everything up to that point.
The Diamond Dog container things at the back of OKB Zero are really suspicious, I would have bought into the cynical "It's asset re-use" if they were a hidden out of the way thing not really meant to be looked at, but no they're right goddamn there, you see them clear as day while walking around, how did the revelation of the DD Logo take as long as it did to come out?
The Oil Field and some other areas had a ton of those containers in all shapes and sizes and the Diamond Dog logo is not on a single one.
Logo it's self isn't even textured onto the container, it's a flat sign model on top of the container model, a thing that can just be removed.
There are also XOF Pilots, so the fact Skull Face's pilot was a DD Pilot is another super weird and interesting little thing.
I know the final trailer had Skullface's head on Big Boss's body briefly and I assumed that was symbolic and not suppose to be literal, but there is some weird shit going on.

I just finished it and really enjoyed it. The big twist was handled well but I think it was hinted at too heavily as you could figure it out by the start of the hospital sequence. I don't understand the complaint about cut content as the only plot thread left unfinished was Eli and even then they ended it in a good place.
Also something I wasn't sure on, Venom was killed at the end of Metal Gear and the Big Boss in MG2 and MGS4 are the real Big Boss?

Guys is possible to Konami to release a new metal gear collection for current gen consoles and PC? I want to play mgs and mgs 4 but I don't wanna buy a Playstation console.
It tied to Psycho Mantis' revenge-trigger. If I recall right. Volgin's lust for revenge whoooo triggered Psycho's innate abilities.
Imo it would only have worked if there was an actual reveal. Like if he took his mask off and it was a burnt/edified Volgin.
Instead it's literally just a charred corpse lying there and Ocelot radios you like "So it was Volgin all along!" We don't actually see any evidence of it happening.
For god's sake.
Edit: I think I was less impressed by it than normal because literally a day before I found out in-game, somebody spoiled it for me in the OT. They put "Volgin" in spoilertags with no warning right there in the middle of a post that was otherwise spoiler-free.
Arguably, MGS2 was the conclusion, but even if you don't buy into that argument, MGS4 literally was the conclusion to the series. MGSV is just a minor, middle plot point.
The original MGS is on PC, and I really wouldn't hold my breath for MGS4 to be released on anything but the PS3.

I like that out of Skull Face and Liquid and everyone, Volgin was the only one who was all "Wait, I had this whole revenge thing in my head for years... ah, dangit, you're the wrong guy. I totally wasted it! Whoops!"
So I need to ask this, did you avoid all trailers for the game?
If Volgin spoke or something it would fine but it was nothing.
I just felt bad for the guy at that point and then he dies immediately afterwards.

Rain in Afghanistan sounds fun.
The more I think about the ending, the more I like it.
Also Huey is a prick and a bad liar. I'm glad that Otacon boned his wife and drove him into suicide.
"I haven't killed anyone."
"I did it. REVENGE."

Yes. It says so in the timeline in the credits.

Why does everyone say Otacon screwed Huey's wife? Given his age wasn't he technically raped?

It was later when Otacon had an affair with Huey's second wife, who is Emma's mother. This later leads to Huey drawning himself in a swimming pool almost taking Emma with him.
They don't use real-world guns so they don't have to pay licensing fees is the actual real-world explanation.

they could still have used gun models looking closer to SAA instead of going for full Mateba copies
That's due to electricity.

Would've been better if it wasn't actually Volgin. Man on Fire having a physical form kinda takes it away for me. Sure it is cool that he can absorb bullets and ride a flaming unicorn but I kinda wish his appearances were related to Venom's hallucinations coming to life through kid mantis. Something like a manifestation of Big Boss's past which he can't run away from instead of Volgin coming to take revenge.
I just don't see Volgin as someone coming after anyone for revenge. He's like the most goofiest villains in the entire series lol.
