It's weird to see Big Boss in a bandana - you'd think he'd outgrown it by now.

He also didn't make neighing noises when Big Boss got on the horse...I'll forgive him though.

I had finished 2,3,pw, and 4 about a month ago and I've been busy moving so haven't been able to play much. I'm replaying 4 since I did a no-kill run on my first play through and I wanted to try out some of the weapons but going on a murder spree doesn't feel right. I still use the tranq constantly. I didn't do much of the pw end game stuff, worth going back to?


I just started playing gz but need to set up my computer again. I don't like the keyboard controls though and my drat rabbit bit right through my 360 controller wire.

ive been playing gz a ton since i can finally play it on pc and i really like the kbm controls, it makes me wanna wait two weeks for phantom pain on pc

The way story missions are set up episodically makes me think they wanted you to have the freedom to approach every mission individually without chaining yourself to a single play style for the entire game. Praise be to our benevolent overlord hk

Also I need to know how many dedicated members the cardboard box team has

Someone post the webm. The sheer beauty of the animation as BB effortlessly swaps box configurations the way ocelot spins a revolver... what an achievement.

Apparently the early design of The End fight was intended to be beaten over the course of one to two weeks, and they play tested it and people said it was impossible, so they toned it down to what it is now. I wonder what that original design was like...

playing these games for the first time one thing I notice is how effectively each installment has added progressively more elements yet by MGS4 it doesn't feel like your character is overburdened with a bunch of junk he'll never use. everything's all very balanced. MGS4 might actually be the best-playing installment of the series, despite Snake Eater's overall superiority as a game

also young ocelot = best character. him killing hundreds of bees by spinning his revolvers really fast is what longinus was referring to when he spoke of "the sublime"

I notice BB takes his hair out of the ponytail when he wears the bandana. Not too important, just something to think about..

I don't think I'll be using the bandana.. just seems pathetic for BB to wear it at this point.

I wonder if there will be an option to remove the eyepatch and just walk around grossing ppl out with his burned up eye socket. I imagine Skull Face would approve.

They scavenged a bunch of spare parts from Solidus to rebuild BB and they didn't bother with the eye. Kinda hosed up IMO.

I may be getting the chronology wrong, but Solidus lost his eye in MGS2.

He loses his eye in MGS3, his hand after Ground Zeroes(?), then Solid Snake burned him to death with hairspray and The Patriots(?) kept his barbequed corpse barely alive on life support and then when Solidus died in MGS2 they used his parts to rebuild Big Boss but he was missing the same eye.
