Pretty sure the Philosopher's Legacy, what part of what actually created the Patriots as opposed to just Cipher. In Peace Walker Eva was told it is being 'put to good use'.

No, obviously whatever was left over from making the Patriots was funnelled into creating an artificial mountain on an aircraft carrier sized submarine for the sole purpose of carving Mount Snakemore into it.

I say this a lot but I wish Solidus wasn't completely hosed over like he was. He couldn't even die until Ocelot blew up his vacuum sealed comatose torso up on the boat!

Don't forget they also lit said torso on fire just to make it look like big boss.

I will never not be amused by that whole situation. All of that and no one loving notices the eye patch is on the wrong side.

It's not a bad game. Most certainly not as bad as Goons were making it out to be. How are your controls set up? Right now I am rolling with the default, but I am considering switching to the D-pad for move, because it seems less finicky when it comes to first person aiming.

One really good idea that Portable Ops had, and not other games did, was a button you could hold down to walk. That would have been really useful in Peace Walker, since the analogue nub was very difficult to move small distances. MGS3 let you sneak with the d-pad though, but for some reason that was the only way to move silently, and even using the analogue stick to walk as slowly as you can will still make a noise.

On the Jehuty, said cockpit goes full mast whenever you enter long range flight mode. They were perfectly aware of what they were doing there.

"SPIKE TV" is one of the most popular cable TV channels in US. There'll be a shocking PS4 related announcement that will blow your mind.

It's probably not the exclusive content thing as I'm sure he's aware that's common knowledge by now, but when it's Kojima who says something will blow your mind, I'm pretty curious what it will be. Curious and terrified.

They still have Gametrailers. I assume that's the only reason this is on Spike and not strictly just streamed online. Good exposure for Sony though.

There probably isn't anything that guarantees quality like Platinum making an action game.

After the war of great troll, he only stands. He now returns to the legendary city to seek revenge on the death of his village. Episode 1: "Legendary School Girl Bubble Gum! Will Senpai Notice Me!?"
Looking back at the trailer, did that town-looking area every appear in the final game? I don't recall it at all. Geckos also looks skinnier, and I don't think the cyborg enemies wore hoodies.

On a side note, I remember thinking that Sam was Vamp when that trailer came out.

Sam is very Vampish, but that's super intentional, considering that all of Rising is a MGS2 callback. I mean, you fight a big bald armored guy on a rooftop helipad.

Rosemary of course. Because she's a bitch.

Probably Vamp. Because MGR is actually an allegory about Raiden trying to get over his obsession with Vamp. Read my fanfiction to find out more.

Solid Snake. He gets tired of Raiden's bullshit, is way more informed about everything than Raiden, and even gives him the sword that he uses to kill the final boss.

He even becomes friends with a scientist named Emmerich, both of whom then take an orphan into their care that was delivered to them by Raiden.

e: which means Sunny is an allegory for both her father and his step-sister :shepface:
