>"This, Snake.. This is the man who sold the world.">*retarded old man noises*bravo Kojima..
Just like his favorite film character he hasZero awarenessZero thoughts running through his headSeven concurrent instances of voiding his bladder/anus
why the fuck did his downfall happen offscreen? is this a joke?
>>748889194Kojima has hated his own fans and creation since Metal Gear Solid 2
>>748889194lol 'downfall'? Growing old?
I still don't get why they wrote the whole "poisoned pin badge" thing to try give an explanation as to why Zero was like this in MGS4 fucking 30 years after TPP when he wouldv'e just naturally been like this because of old age anyway. I guess it was more about selling Skull Face as a bastard and to explain why he was able to commandeer XOF and essentially split it off from Cipher.
After playing through over half of MGS4's PC port, I must say this game sucks ass. Every complaint everyone has about the MGS series, is all concentrated right here. Plot that is retarded and gets more retarded as you go in? Yep. Endless fucking cutscenes all over the damn place? More cutscenes than gameplay. Gimmicky boss fights? I've literally had the game decide "No, you didn't GRAB vamp, you just grabbed ahold of him to throw him" when pressing the grab button.They couldn't even bother to playtest this piece of shit to make sure you can play from beginning to end without crashes, because the game will lock up hard after beating the MGS1 flashback sequence if you don't modify the game.
Why didnt nanomachines save him
>>748889194The good games werent written by him, and he didn’t have an ego as big back then4 is when he fell off the wagon
So like did BB kidnap him from an aged care home or something
>>748889194>why the fuck did his downfall happen offscreen? is this a joke?The point is that people with good intentions can create evil systems
>>748888961and he'll do it again
>>748889596BB explains that Zeros location was hidden within JD which they discovered when JD was shut down iirc. He was probably in a secret safe house under constant care (he is in a similar facility in the MGSV tapes, in Hell's Kitchen, NY).
>>748888961HOT COLDMAN ???!
>>748889668He didn't really create it. The only reason PatriotGPT took over was because Skullface sent him into a coma.

>try out MGS Peace Walker PC port>framerate is all over the damn place, audio will not sync up to what's happening on screenSo outside of the MGS3 remake, all of the Master Collection is poorly done PC ports, great. Thanks a fucking lot Konami, you worthless cunts. Very glad I pirated this half-assed crap.
>>748889831The AI would've taken over eventually regardless, because Zero lost faith in humans to carry on the plan. Skull Face just sped up the process.
>>748889919It' runs at 60fps stable what crypto mining torrent did you get this from lmao.
>>748889831>>748889963It was SIGINTs fault, he initially set up the AIs. They went haywire on his watch.
Zero was 57 at the time of MGS3.>MGS3 happened in 1964>MGS4 happened in 2014Zero was 107 at the time of MGS4.
>we have to reset zero... back to nothingZero IS nothing you pretentious wankstain
>>748890123They went nuts after he died and Emma's worm made the AI go nuts after MGS2, which was years later. If SIGNIGGA had still been alive, he might have been able to stop it.
>>748890174Zero to one to one hundred to zero to one to one hundred to zero
How did Big Boss himself just managed to get hold of the leader of the Patriots and carry him all the way to the graveyard where Solid Snake was without anyone noticing?
>>748890140>>748890174And don't forget that MGSV retcons things so that Zero became a braindead vegetable in the early 80s.
>Snake, did I ever tell you about Punished "Venom" Snake? He was a combat medic that worked for me in Militaires Sans Frontières, the PMC I ran with your Master Miller in the 70s with which I fought against flying AI machines and a Metal Gear piloted by a not-teenager in a bikini while she was singing J-POP, using my bare hands to stop the mech from crushing me. Anyways, after a gray faced weirdo from the janny team blew us up, that medic saved my life after which Zero over here turned him into a physical and mental copy of me so he could go clear mines in the desert, Fulton goats, have a trial against your good friend's dad, blow up an island with Liquid in it and bang a mute woman with a talent for exhibitionism after she was infected with the same vocal cord parasites that some grandpa I killed two decades prior had. He was actually the "me" that you killed in South Africa 20 years ago, after I convinced him that getting his past life taken away from him and being forgotten by the world as someone that never existed was an honor. And he was a good friend.
>>748890309Anyone who served the lalilulelo was probably too busy crying and shitting themselves once the nanomachines got turned off
>>748889497Wasn't he turned into a potato by a virus during MGSV?
>>748890438To be frank he was already pushing 80 at that point. I feel like Kojima was just searching for a way to make it so that Zero could be "alive" for his inclusion in MGS4, but also not able to even make the slightest input on the events from MG1 until then.
>>748890309Sunny lobotomised the Patriots with FOXALIVE so they wouldn't do anything but keep running the global economy so human society didn't collapse overnight. I'm fairly certain that's also what caused Big Boss to be woken from his coma in the first place.
>>748888961>"This, Snake.. This is the man who sold the world.">MGSV trailer music is The Man Who Sold the WorldSasuga Kojima
>>748890317What's even funnier is that this confirms that Sigint was the head of the Patriots that implemented all the Draconian AI takeover of humanity shit. This means the biggest villain of the series was the diaper chief that Ocelot tortured to death just before the start of MGS1.https://youtube.com/watch?v=Nolq5EPpOcA
>>748890174A philosopher might disagree on that, and some mathematicians
>>748890651>A philosopherKuwabara, kuwabara
>>748889194>That fucking TPP tape where he accidentally infects himself with ligma which ultimately is what puts him in the vegetative state in MGS4The fact that it's on a tape recording just makes it all the more farcicle.
>>748890651Zero had to be invented. Like the word 'nothing'. They are the mathematical and linguistic representations of an absence.
>>748890643How was he a villain in any way? He died before anything went wrong and since he was dead, there was no way to correct the AIs.
>>748890643Metal Gear Bharat
>>748890956Yes there has been arguments that "nothing" can't have a symbol because the symbol is value, that's why some number systems didn't have zero as a number.
>>748890956The thing about nothing is that not even 0 can describe it. 0 is a thing. Nothing is nothing. It is the absense of thing.
>>748891046Exactly.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RjefHa316c
>>748891046>>748891109Pedantic, meaningless wank. "Nothing" is a description of nothingness as well. If you can use a word, you can use a number.Next you'll be reaching for truly pretentious horseshit like "you can't even conceptualise nothing because you're something surrounded by something". Fuck outta here. Zero = Nothing = Zero. End of argument.
>>748891198>Zero = Nothing = ZeroBut then what am I fighting for?
>>748891252If we make it through this thread, I'll tell you.
>>748891252Ask Iris.
MGS 4 was honestly so fucking bad. Making entire MGS3 cast the Patriots was so fucking retarded and random. It was never set up, it just happened randomly off screen. The whole Cipher thing felt so forced and tacked on in Peace Walker. There's not a hint of any of that in the entire game, until you reach Chapter 5, you have to grind to unlock ZEKE battle, and Paz turns out to be a traitor in the last minute and drops more retarded off-screen Zero lore. It pisses me off.
How come no one ever made an effort to recover ZEKE?Fucking REX had it's head blown apart and it still came back to the series.
>>748891019he made a heckin nuke weapon and kojima is very anti war so hes basically hitler
>"killed" by Snake in Zanzibarland decades ago>kept in a coma, with chunks missing for most of that time>reassembled with pieces from his clone son (except his blind eye) in the last decade or so>woken up out of the blue>somehow has the wherewithal and resources to track Zero down and abduct him>somehow has the resources to find Snake and get to him with this vegetable in a wheelchair slowing him up>somehow knows intricacies of the entire plot so that he can handily summarise to Snake everything that happened>including that FOXDIE has double mutated to the point it WONT kill everyone on Earth if Snake doesn't kill himself, something the woman who invented it didn't know>Frankenstein's Big Boss gets to die absolved of all the shit he did because he spent his final hour on earth infodumping to Elderly Snake about things he didn't really care about
>>748891713>MG2 Big Boss>Yes Snake I'm going to hold the world to ransom with nuclear weapons while perpetuating endless war, taking the orphans from these pointless conflicts and forcefeeding them back into the meatgrinder to create the next generation of child soldiers dying for nothing, just so soldiers always have a place in the world>Kojima in MGS3 onward>Uhhhhhhhh forget he said that he's actually not such a bad guy, much better than Solid Snake because he isn't a filthy inhuman clone, I'm sorry I made you say those awful things Biggu Bossu I love you
>>748889504>CQC grabThat's just a remnant of MGS3 that was never explained properly. If you run towards someone and hold the CQC button, you always throw them towards where the analog stick is being held.To just grab someone in place, you have to release the stick an instant before holding down the CQC button.There's also a way to grab someone, mount them and choke them, all while being prone.
>>748892168>kojima in mgs1>snek your a test tube clone baby>kojima in mgs4>no snek your ackshually a surrogate
Hag EVA with her saggy tits out being made Solid's surrogate mother, nicknamed BIG MAMA, appearing in a church, as the camera lingered on Mary mother of Jesus, was the single most embarrassing thing in the entire series.
>>748892304You need a womb to raise a baby, anon. Snake and Liquid always came from the same mother. Liquid talks about the "super baby method" where there were eight of them implanted and six got aborted.
>>748892515>You need a womb to raise a baby, anon. No you just need the eggs and a tube that can simulate the conditions of an womb.
>>748892569
>>748892569Which no artificial tube can. Let's move on from your retardation.
>>748890326underrated
>>748892780In our world no tube can do that, but in the world of metal gear?
>>748892442TrueHe should rest his head on her breasts
>>748889919RPCS3 runs it much better on my system, look into that
>>748889194He grew old, and the stress of making a bunch of AI wannabe gods that went rogue was too much for him to handle, and caused him to age like milk.Skull Face's backstabbing didn't help.
>>748892907>Liquid Snake: They fertilized an egg with one of father's cells, and then let it divide into eight clone babies. Then they transferred the clones to someone's uterus and later intentionally aborted six of the fetuses to encourage strong fetal growth... You and I were originally octupletsNot even MGS
>>748888961>Snake, did I tell you of the time where Zero helped me to create my very own phantom? I thought he orchestrated the attack on our Mother Base but as it turns out, it wasn't him, but another operative who helped me clean up the mess I left in Tselinoyarsk during Operation Snake Eater. He looked like Hamburglar from McDonald's. To make up for it, he took my most loyal soldier and had plastic surgery and hypnotherapy done on him, to act as a clone of mine, because 3 evidently wasn't enough. I understand that it had to be done so I could go into hiding, and a whole hospital needs to be massacred to achieve this as well. You actually met the phantom too by the way, you killed him before you killed me. Anyway, I never could figure out whether he hated me, or if he feared me. And he was a good friend.
>>748891487I look at it as there being no metal gear/solid series at all. There are individual games that benefit from some context but connecting them is completely futile
>>748893178I stand corrected then
>>748888961YOU'RE FACE TO FACE WITH THEAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD
>>748889498Well nanomachines in MGS World are basically capable of anything so I suppose they needed a way to explain how some who could make himself functionally immortal and eternally young with nanos could age like that.
>>748892442>saggyNot on my screen.
