It has a transplant scar in the same place because he had the old one removed and put on a new robo one, holy poo poo dude. You don't just chop off more of your natural body if you're getting rid of a possessed demon limb. And Fortune was magic in MGS2 in the end, what is with you and picking and choosing what's actually canon based on completely random poo poo.

The transplant scar was below the elbow, but the artificial arm went up all the way to the shoulder! ACES CURE PLANES posted:And Fortune was magic in MGS2 in the end, what is with you and picking and choosing what's actually canon based on completely random poo poo. She was magic once, not consistently magic like when Ocelot's bullet deflection machine was on. So there was the fake magic provided by Ocelot, and some nebulous amount of actual magic. But the actual magic doesn't matter, what matters is that Ocelot was faking magic

Wtf is going on here? In MGS4 it was revealed Ocelot no longer had Liquid’s arm and he double crossed himself by hypnotizing himself to believe he was Liquid.* That’s discussed in the actual game. The PS3 database doesn’t matter bc it was probably created as marketing material independent of game development. *He had previously hypnotized himself in MGSV to believe Venom is actually Big Boss even though he knew he wasn’t.

Gripweed posted:The skin texture doesn't go all the way up like it should, but it still has the transplant scar in the exact same place. And it makes more sense because every other magic thing in MGS2 turned out to be a lie that Ocelot had a hand in. Fortune wasn't magic, Vamp wasn't actually a vampire, Ocelot wasn't really possessed by a ghost. There was real magic in MGS1, with the psychic and the ravens and all, but it was all a ruse in MGS2. The other thing that always made me think that all the database entries were at least meant to be the intended truth is the bit when you're talking to Big Boss in 4 and he specifically mentions that Ocelot started doing the autosuggestion stuff after they learned the location of Zero, which would have been after the events of 2. There's also a couple of other weird things - the voice actor switch doesn't really have a good explanation if it was a ruse the whole time imo, and neither does the fact that one of the "possessions" is when Ocelot is in the Ray cockpit and there's nobody else there to see him. There's also the thing where pointing the directional microphone at Ocelot results in two distinct heartbeats. Tbh I think the likeliest answer is that Kojima, for whatever reason, changed his mind, and that the database explanations were created to come up with the best explanation they could manage for it, but who knows. edit: Which I guess is to say that I think there's more interesting stuff to discuss w/r/t to the broader themes of identity in the series if you work from the premise that the takeover was real at first.

It's completely possible that Ocelot never had Liquid's arm, it was always a robot arm and he was always pretending to be possessed, but he was still also possessed by Liquid during MGS2

Ocelot pretended to be possessed by Liquid but he copies everything he sees so he pretended to be possessed by Liquid because he was possessed by Liquid.

the arm looks completely different between MGS2 and MGS4, of course it's different?? in MGS2 it's all skin tone, in MGS4 only the hand is e: also imagine thinking Ocelot is actually right about "cutting edge technology" when (a) he is immediately undercut after saying that by a magic lady and then possessed by a ghost who speaks in a different voice to him and (b) the end of MGS4 reveals that the "cutting-edge technology" ladies were controlled by a psychic ghost the whole time e2: ocelot's dad is a ghost ffs cargohills fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Jun 8, 2019 |

The truth about Metal Gear is that Kojima will retcon absolutely anything for convenience because he is capable of neither planning ahead nor discipline.

Donovan Trip posted:Compare Kojima to any other video game personality who does press conferences, they stand up there and talk about how many more pixels they're pushing in their newest game or try to redefine what a microtransaction is. Meanwhile Kojima talks about games like an artist talks about paintings-- he talks about process and tries to create something that the interpretation is more in the hands of the player. It's weird and awkward and provocative, he's refreshing in an industry run by MBAs. I absolutely agree. He's still trying to sell but he clearly has a vision and believe in his art. I showed that latest trailer to my 67 year old mom and she said, "oh gently caress, I wish this was a movie".

Because when you are having your unrequited crush's clone son's arm attached to your own you want someone who won't ask questions. Especially if you're a wanted fugitive.

Where they try to do this deep tech wank bullshit about nanomachines and self-hypnosis, but it's contrasted immediately by the fact that Ocelot's dad is just this cool ghost bro that has been following us around for like a century at this point just helping out when he can.
