It's been 10 years and i still have such a complicated love/hate relationship with MGSV.

Otakon didn't suffer.

Meanwhile I have a very uncomplicated hate-hate relationship with MGS 4
Always had, still have, always will have. Until I'm dead.

>Otacon
>suffer
Dude cucked his dad to death, created a giant death robot and completely fumbled reconnecting with his step sister before she died. How has he suffered? Because some woman he had a crush on died even though that woman didn't care about him? Or because some other bitch who he had a one night stand with died?

The only people who suffer are people around him.
>>
>>722626254
You would've suffered too if you lost your young sibling just like he did

MGS sucks

>>722626254
This, MGS4 Otacon fucking reeks of fanfiction tier dev self-insert. Huey was based and entertaining
>>
>>722625478
WTF is Kojima's problem with this type of person? He wanted people to hate Otacon, but they didn't. So he created Huey and made him worse, but even then he made Huey right about what he was saying, so he still failed to get people to hate Huey as much as he wanted. Did a bunch of anime nerds wedgie Kojima on the flagpole when he was a kid? His obsession with getting people to hate the Otacons of the world just isn't natural.
>>
>>722625861
His faggot dad put him in a metal gear as a baby, killed his real mother, and played the victim the whole time. Imagine having to grow up with that, not to mention the whole incest and suicide thing, whatever happened there

It wasn't incest, she was his step mom. And cucking your dad so hard that he kills himself is just about the most alpha Chad thing you can possibly do
>>
>>722627058
You niggers will say this but then act like Shinji is a bitch.

Huey didn't give a shit if other people suffered or not, he just wanted to make huge mechs no matter what it cost (other people)
>>
>"I suffered so I'll make sure they suffer even more"
>>
It's a dog. Fuck you, Huey
>>
>>722627489
He's the stand in for the Japanese's eternal hatred over being nuked. 80 years later and they're still all seething about having lost the war. Seething because losing the war is a constant reminder that they're not naturally superior than everyone else.

>>722627058
>whole incest thing
Incest? What incest? I can't remember any of that shit from MGSV

>>722627971
In MGS2 it's revealed that Hal's step-mom groomed and raped him. Huey's response to this was attempted murder-suicide of Emma.

Shinji never once acted unreasonably or cowardly - he just didn't know what he wanted

>>722627012
I never got the impression that he wanted you to hate Otacon, he's one of the best characters in the series and treated as a tragic hero.
Huey was obviously meant to play with your expectations by having the same appearance/voice but the opposite character.
>>
>>722627012
>So he still failed to get people to hate Huey
Plenty of people who played MGSV hated Huey for killing their innocent DD soldiers who did nothing to him

>I never got the impression that he wanted you to hate Otacon
Me neither, until Kojima stated it himself in interviews that he wanted people to hate Otacon and was shocked when they didn't. That's the entire reason he made Huey, because it was his 2nd attempt to try and make people hate that archetype.
>>722628497
Yeah, people hated Huey because he called out the Diamond Dogs on their bullshit and many players put themselves in the place of the Diamond Dogs. The writing in MGS5 is just so bad though. We've got Ocelot saying that he can get the truth out of anyone, that he even has a special truth serum that works 100% of the time. Yet all his torturing of Huey doesn't get him the answers he wants, so he assumes Huey is lying. Hey, Ocelot, I thought you said before you used that Serum that Huey would 100% be telling us the truth. Now because you're not getting the answer you want, you do a 180 on it. Kojima really wants the player to hate Huey, but still writes him as being right about everything and not guilty of the accusations against him. Such terrible writing in that game.
After MGS3, it became really obvious that nobody was reigning in Kojima anymore and he went totally off the leash. Nobody was willing to step in anymore and tell him that his ideas were stupid and needed refined.
>>
>>722625861
He got abused by his father and molested by his stepmother, which led to his dad killing himself and almost killing his sister, ruining their relationship forever. Then tricked into making nuclear death machines and having his first love killed by his soon to be best friend/husband.

>>722629165

Wow, what terrible writing. I wonder what point the writer could've been making about the characters with that.

>>722629364
But he doesn't make the point about Ocelot being wrong. Everything is framed as Ocelot being right and that somehow Huey is still holding out on them. Framing matters and the way all those scenes was framed was to make Huey look bad, even though the writing didn't support it.
>I wonder what point the writer could've been making about the characters with that.
Buddy, Kojima's writing isn't that complex. He gives his characters name like Fragile, because she's fragile, the Fear, because he invokes fear, the End, because he's at the end of his life, Fat Man, because he's named after the nuke and likes bombs but he's also actually fat too, and other such names where he just wants to smash you in the face with the idea. Kojima's writing isn't good enough because the point the writer was trying to make is that Huey was bad and lying and that Ocelot was actually right, unlike what you're trying to imply with your snark.
>>
>>722627012
Everyone hates Huey though, even if he's right. Like he did succeed at that. Did he ever explain why he wanted people to hate Otacon because aside from being a retard who unwittingly helps make nuclear death machines he doesn't do anything villainous or bad, he has a very positive and heroic character arc

That's not the whole point though, and also Huey is bad though. Even if his critique of DD is right, and it is, he himself is still a hypocrite piece of shit just as bad as them. It's two assholes fighting with each other and you play from the perspective of one of the assholes.
>>
>>722629807
>Everyone hates Huey though
No. I don't. Huey did nothing wrong. There's nothing to hate. If anything, he's made out to be sympathetic.
It's the classic writing blunder of trying to make a hated character, but all the other characters around them hate him for everything he does, no matter what he does. So instead of the character being hated, he becomes sympathetic, because why the fuck is everyone shitting on him? To clarify, I don't like Huey, but I don't hate hate him either. At most, I think I pity him.
>Did he ever explain why he wanted people to hate Otacon
Not that I can recall. I think he just really didn't like the anime culture and thought others wouldn't as well. Kojima didn't understand that the anime stigma didn't exist in the west.
> aside from being a retard who unwittingly helps make nuclear death machines
I believe in Kojima's mind, he thought that was reason enough for people to hate him. Just the classic Japanese hating on everything nuke related purely because they were on the receiving end of it.
>he has a very positive and heroic character arc
I agree. Otacon's a cooler dude than he realizes and does his best to help out Snake, no matter what he's personally going through at the time. He's a true bro.

Kojimbles was this necessary

You're not supposed to be playing this as a kid lol
>>
>>722630245
Which is probably why Huey didn't bother me. I didn't get personally invested in the Diamond Dogs so I didn't take Huey's words personally, which I suspect many players did. I'd argue that Huey is not as bad as them though, considering he's always being forced to work for others through torture. He doesn't owe loyalty to any of those fuckers. Besides, they're all just stockholm syndromed into working for Venom because of Ocelot's torture.
>>
I started off as an Otacon but became a Huey as I got older.
>>
>>722630542
>No. I don't.
You don't but he's incredibly hated by the vast majority of people, understandably as he has no positive traits at all really. I feel bad for him too but he's a piece of shit, an exaggeration of a type of person you probably meet in real life. And in universe all the characters have very good reasons to hate him.

Not as good of reasons as he has to hate them.
>>
>>722629165
Huey literally doesn't think he's lying because the "truth" is a flexible concept to him. If something is convenient to him in the moment, it becomes true to him.
>>
>>722631101
Are you trying to tell me that Kojima based an entire character off of a single episode of Seinfeld? Was he aware that was a joke? Rhetorical, of course he wasn't aware.

Anon, I've been wondering that for over 20 years now. At this point, I just assume that something got lost in translation.

A vamp is a woman who acts seductively to attract men so it means he loves cocks.

It's American English but not used very often in the modern day, and is still derived from vampire myth of them having powers of seduction they use to trap prey.

why would someone trollpost on /v/?

Always thought it was dumb as shit that Otacon is just as heavily tied into the Metal Gear lineage as Solid Snake. The whole point for Otacon was that he was a random engineer hired by DARPA to make Metal Gears, and he agreed to because it was his dream to work on sick giant robots. Snake sparing him on a whim sparked his allegiance, and then in turn his friendship.

It's double dumb because the Patriots stuck their grubby AI claws into everything even remotely related to Big Boss, so why leave Otacon alone if he's the son of Huey, who worked on the first Metal Gears with Big Boss?

I mean, in his first appearance he goes on about how the Emmerich bloodline is cursed to work on nuclear weapons.

>>722641798
Yeah, cause they worked in the Manhattan project and nuclear bombs. It's a bit different when Hal's dad had basically the same relationship with Snake's dad making the same type of giant mecha.
>>
>>722637715
>It's double dumb because the Patriots stuck their grubby AI claws into everything even remotely related to Big Boss, so why leave Otacon alone
TPP actually has an answer for this. Strangelove created the foundation of the Patriots AI, and wrote in a deeply hidden prime directive to take care of Hal.

>WHAAAAT??? My bipedal mech with a tail gun on its arm and a mounted machine gun for a penis was used…for bad Guy stuff??????

>>
>>722628229
Dont forget the same sequence having Emma imply she wants to fuck her brother
>>
>>722629165
Huey genuinely believes he did nothing wrong, in fact, some can even argue he really didnt participate in the sabotage of XOF and its why he crumbles so easily when confronted about Strangelove because he DID kill her
Regardless, Ocelot does interrogate him a lot even addresses that if Huey truly believes hes telling the truth then theres nothing he can do about it except long term psycho therapy, if you just mindlessly torture someone they will just lie and make shit up so you stop hurting them like the Nuremberg confessions
>>
>>722642719

so thats a yes
