Why was he brought back in MGSV
>>748189826Just an all around hack thing to do.
Kojima lost his fucking mind.
>>748189826His favorite Marvel character is Ghost Rider probably jizzed his pants when he learned about Ryan's takeover
when you play this game the jeep ride feels like the part where kojimbo was let go.
>>748189826I forget the explanation for his super powers. Was it tech or just a magic ass pull?
>>748190090nanomachines son
>>748189826Kojimbo being a hack, there is no other valid answer.
>>748189826revenge, hollow, phantom pain, etc
>>748190090just magic like the rest of the boss' squad. 'burning with revenge'/man on fire i think was partially accelerated by soviet experimentation on him.
>>748190186*ParasitesThey don't rename them nanomachines until the 90s.
>>748189826to show that revenge is hollowto look cool for trailer shots
>>748190090Isn't it just Psycho Mantis revived him and his way of dying combined with his electricity ability?
>>748190682>to look cool for trailer shotsI feel like this is what Kojima designs his games around at this point
>>748190682What's the point?
>>748190090iirc Volgin was born with electric powers but using them without his rubber suit could kill him.
>>748190090>Was it tech or just a magic ass pull?Parasites.
>>748190090His mother ate these mushrooms which restore battery power while she was pregnant.
>>748189826
>>748189826How'd they get the gimp mask over the bullets?
>>748189826Because he had the biggest revenge boner for Big Boss.
>>748190090wolbachia
>>748190090he had fire aids
>>748190090It's never explained, he's like Psycho Mantis and The Sorrow, he has powers because the story needs him to have those powers.
>>748190090He got his powers from being a flaming faggot.
SUCH A LUST FOR REVENGE
>>748190090>born with bullshit electric powers>gets fucking toasted and riddled with bullets, supposedly dies>remains alive out of pure seethe for Big Boss>becomes soviet test subject, wheeled all around the place for random bullshit>wakes up at the same time as Venom>psychorapes shota Psycho Mantis into powering him up>revives as the Man on Fire, goes on rampagethat's about it
>>748192269WHOOOOOOOO
>>748190586did the fury even have any powers? nigga just had a space suit and a jetpack
>>748189826I wonder how many people played this as their first MGS and thought it was going to be tacticool stealth like Tom Clancy stuff only for a magic fire monster and psychic ghost kid to show up in the first few minutes
>>748193308What did the Fury even do in World War II? His backstory is that he went to space and got mad but humans weren't sent to space until 1961.
>>748190946It wasn't the parasites though. Those were only used to explain Quiet and the Skulls.IIRC they even mention in the tapes that Psycho Mantis was sent to a school for people with paranormal powers
>>748189826>>748190090ANGERY
>>748193308He could turn into a giant face made entirely from flames I guess.
>>748189826sometimes i forgot mutants are canon on the mgs universe.
>>748190682He doesn't give up because of such a gay epiphany, though.
>>748192994And then falls for the bait and switch at the hospital, chases venom around afghanistan and the congo, and dies of disappointment when he finally catches venom and realizes that he's not big boss
>>748190829Yeah he definitely loves cutting promos more than he loves making games.
There lived a certain man in Russia long agoHe was big and strong, in his eyes a flaming glow
>>748192173Eva's medical history disagrees.
Carrying two entire belts of ammo on your body when you are the electricity guy seems very counterintuitive.
>>748189826not even kojima knows, you could remove him and absolutely nothing would change
>>748194546That's why he wears a rubber suit which doesn't conduct electricity.
>>748190697Nope, its Volgin.
>>748194774He's such a goober in MGS3, being revived as the Man on Fire almost made him cool.
>>748190090suit
The Cobra Unit was so fucking lame, MGS3 is hyped far more than it deserves.
In this house, Big Boss is a hero. End of story.
When comparing to how weapons worked in MGS4, MGS5 took a step back by not allowing you to change to different ammo types on the field. IE, the Laugh rounds for the tranq gun
>>748189826Kojima asspulled Volgin back in for MGSV because of the theme around lust for revenge or something.
Phantom Pain is so boring to play. So much wasted time in loading screens, chopper and menus. Which is a shame, because mechanically it's great and it has some of the best individual moments in the series, even if the plot on the whole is retarded.
>>748196391He was gay, Raikov?
>>748189826>remember>remember that guy from the prequel gamekojima invented call backs btw
Kojima makes a lot more sense when you realize the first game he made without his co-writer and translator tard-wranglers was MGS4 and everything has been shit since.
>>748190090>The Sorrow>Psycho Mantis>The Fury>Volgin>Man On Fire (Volgin + Psycho Mantis)Supernatural Powers>The EndParasites (Natural)>Quiet>Skulls>Metallic Archaea>Vocal Cord ParasitesParasites>Everything elseNanomachines, son
>>748197241I'll defend Ground Zeroes but since it's a 20 minute investor tech demo that ended up far surpassing the game it was made to save, he probably had nothing to do with it.
>>748197164Yeah the gameplay can be pretty short with all the only missions it has. I usually try going for the perfect stealth score bonus to pad out playing the game but you miss out on using a lot of the mechanics the devs spent time making.
>>748197241Peace Walker was good.
>>748193738https://youtu.be/3Ao4WTcMtY8
>>748197164>>748197413>stealth game with ranking >the ranking has more to do with time than stealth It's shit. As usual.
>>748197379>>Everything else>Nanomachines, sonEven Fortune's last stand? That one felt supernatural as well since it was out of nowhere.
>>748197164Its kind of a pain to replay. Trying to replay it now cause of vol2 coming out and I've beaten all the mg games. Going from rescuing a guy to suddenly being behind rocks getting shot at by quiet, to the next mission has me opening the door to huey and sally with no transitions is fucking lame. And I don't remember what order I got all the cassette tapes so trying to listen in order is fuckin with me as well
>>748197650I don't know. I only played the odd numbered Metal Gear Solids. The even ones are trash.
>>748197379The Pain was in the same category as The End too.
>>748197547Usually the perfect stealth score bonus guarantees an S rank regardless of time spent so it ultimately is dependant on stealth.Not sure though since I haven't played MGSV in a while.
I always wonder why Kojima gets a pass for being the proto woke movie game guy. MGS3 is literally about open borders.Death Stranding is a Drumpf allegory that attributes its setting to fascists building walls.DS2 is the same but with trannies in it.Perhaps the media literacy meme is true and /v/ is simply too stupid to pick up on these things.
>>748197785lol, I disagree about 2 at least. And, do you count V as odd or not since it's technically not 5? It's also the worst in the series.
>>748197419LOL
>>748197886Chuds do this thing where they grandfather in woke guys who made games they liked as kids, even when the woke guy is openly woke and explicitly hates them lmao
>>748197821Sorry, not the perfect stealth feat but rather actually the 'No Traces' feat.
2 > PW > 3 > 1 > 4 > V
>>748196391>got carried by women in 3>failed his startup island>took credit for the ideas and efforts of others (The Boss, Kaz)>fucking made a copy and betrayed his friends so he could fuck offBig Boss a shit
4 = V > 1 > 2 ...didn't play the rest, don't care.
>>748197896>It's also the worst in the series.Maybe. But that doesn't mean it's not also the best one.
>>748197164>Doing all the wonderful mission tasks like "Extracted 6 prisoners", "Listened to all 4 prisoners' interrogations", the conversation task in Traitors' Caravan, the yet another conversation task in The War Economy and so onI just wanna get all the cheevos for this game. I like the gameplay but these mission tasks are just awful and I bet no one likes them
>>748197419was she legal?
>>748197419I didn't like the grinding in PW when it came to the Monster Hunter bosses.The ultimate co-op weapon slingshot was not fun grind for since I had to constantly beat the crap out of Gear REX.
>>748197886aieeee not zion don my clitty is swelling with anger!!!
>>748198279It's the only one I didn't finish, smooth gameplay just isn't enough by itself.3>2>1>4>V
>>748198290I rememeber before the game came out /v/ thought you could customize Mother Base and walk around in the mess hall and shit lmao. Then it turned out to be empty platforms with different paint jobs.
MGS1 > MGS2 > power gap > MGS3 > power gap > the rest
>>748198290Here's arguably the worst achievement in TPP.
>>748198387weird
>>748193610he was just 'the kinda pissed off'
>>748197810The Pain, The Fear = Mrs. Robinson (Human doing something supernatural)The End = Pillar Men (Biological phenomenon)The Sorrow, Volgin etc. = Stand Users (Human with supernatural powers)Vamp, Fortune, Armstrong etc. = Stroheim (TECHNOLOGY)
>>748198450Oh yeah, that cheevo exists as well. The one regarding mission tasks is also wonderful because due to the coding of the game you may break some of the mission tasks accidentally due to reason or another, IE being too close to a prisoner in Lingua Franca
>>748198371There is no age of consent on Mother Base.
>>7481984261 had good story and character cast, but the problem is that it's a PS1 game, and it's very dated.
VIC BOSSVIC BOSSVIC BOSS
>>748192269>>748193065Kinographique
>>748198679The most dated aspect of it is the codec. Playing through them again now I'm constantly forgetting to use the codec and thinking "wasn't there a lot more to this?" Makes the terrible Drebin calls about B&B make more sense.I think the first game probably holds up the most, it is so simple no particular part stands out. I think it is very easy to go back to compared to the clunky controls (especially without analog buttons) of 2 or the weird stealth mechanics of 3.
>>748198426TRUTH NUKEThe MSX games are also great, especially MG2.
Master Collection Peace Walker with mouse and keyboard is the best MGS game. It's responsive, snappy and fun. And it has soul.
>>748198556Naruhodo.
>>748192159>he has powers because the story needs him to have those powersAnd that's what makes those characters cool. Honestly surprised those characters didn't get explanations for the sake of it.
>>748189826Because there are times to be kino and there are times to be campy, double so with vidya. Kojimbo actually understood this about his medium. It might not make good story telling, bjt it makes good vidya.
>>748189826I thought he was electric man in mgs3How did he become fire man
>>748199845Young Psycho Mantis is controlling the body. Not even a hidden sub text things either but shown too you clear as day. This thread is filled with bots that never played the game.
>>748200071Yeah I remember young Mantis floating around before that white horse arrives.. I think? I gotta replay TPP!!
>>748190090He wears clothes that have recently been static charged by tumbling in a dryer
>TPP doesn't have volume controls>dialogue is super quiet>effects and music super loudBravo, Kojimbo. Very cool.
>>748200943Works on my machine
>>748198556>both series has a blond twink protagonist killing the president of the United StatesWait...
>>748190090Volgin was a James Bond villain-ripoff with a gimmick to match.MoF was a corpse brought to life by Yung Mantis.
I'm surprised to see MGSV's MGO3 is somehow still alive.
>>748190090the explanation is kojima is a fucking retard
>>748189826To give us two pieces of context mostly.1. That Psycho Mantis reacts to powerful wills around him, particularly those who are violent and directed. Sufficient enough will allowed a corpse to get up and rampage about. A greater will usurps him readily, but also important is that when his will surrenders, he just fucking dies on the spot.2. That Punished Snake isn't Big Boss ahead of time. Volgin's the only one who sees right through it when he gets into the man's face.These factors combine leading to Volgin poofing. "Ah, wait, you're not the jackass I'm looking for. Peace." Vengeance level reaches 0 and he's gone.
Part of me wishes that we got like a Metal Gear Liquid that would flesh out Eli's relationship with Mantis and Ocelot and help set him up as a legendary soldier on par with Solid.
>>748202486It's pretty much downgrade from MGO2 but I had fun with it
>>748203370how is it a downgrade? (serious question)
>>748203458Didn't find it as fun as MGO2. Hard to explain but partially it's because of the progression and you having to level up the character to unlock new stuff like weapons instead of being able to buy a gun after respawning.
>>748203515Yeah it sucks>t. level 40 scoutDon't know what the MGO3 devs were thinking with that
