Regardless of Konami dropping the ball at whatever capacity, players purposely fu--ing with the missle counter on purpose... Troll *****. FOB missions always seemed like a fruitless endeavor overall. I love the game, but never messed with that portion of it for that reason. Regular MGO is fine with me.

I still don't get the message the developers were trying to convey with the zero nukes goal. Kojima, of all people should know that that's not how things work in real life, no country will give up their nuclear arsenal and it's childish to even suggest the idea. Is the game being patronizing? That if we all loved each other, the world will magically be a peaceful place and all wars and terrorism will stop? Or is the game trying to say that if all sweaty nerds like me would give up my virtual, make believe nuclear arsenal then maybe the world's superpowers should do the same because love and tolerance exists? Gimme a break.

Maybe in a fantasy setting- where the world is threatened by fire breathing dragons, that giving up our nukes will lead to tolerance and the princess of the fair land could finally mate with the elder dragon and give birth to a new Snake, then yes I see the point.

This is juvenile at best, and doesn't do anything to raise awareness of nuclear weapons coming from a series that did it so damn well in the past.

I think what he may have been trying to show or say is humanities penchant for destruction, as I don't think he intended for all players to disarm. The secret ending was meant to show there is a reward for de-nuclearization just as the world would benefit from it as well.

Humans may never get along or be peaceful through and through but we may have crossed the line at Nuclear and Viral weapons, up to that point no war threatened to end all life as it does now.

That's what I believe is the message he was trying to communicate. Solid Snake would find that a worthy goal.

 

[Jameson Rook]

I see your point there higgins, but don’t you think that such a message goes without saying? Besides, the secret ending would have been hackable in the game’s files so there won’t be any kind of surprise if it did happened.

If this happens how much you guys wanna bet it doesn't include MGS or MGS4 and is literally just a port of the old HD collection.

If Konami really wanted to make money they would start at the Original MG and do remakes one by one. Realistically they could do this every couple generations and people would still buy it.

Whelp false alarm I guess.

Metal Gear!

No figures/customs indeed.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Oh crap! Wrong thread!

 

[Solidus]

All of the MGS threads are rubbish, anyway.

Rising was riding on the series' stupidity that was born from MGS4 onward, which is why I love it so much. It's clear that canon or not, the writers were having fun at the ridiculousness of the series and just rolls with it. It's also the game Kojibros hate the most after MGS2 and MPO, thus makes me love it more.

"But it's not Metal Gear!", some people say. You know what classic MG staple that Rising brought back that none of the MGS games MGS4 onward had? Proper CODEC calls.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Rising is a "dumb" MGS... but it doesn't try to be smart and fail miserably like Fanta Peen.

I also love the fact that it doesn't have "Solid" in the title. It makes the search for pictures and stuff so much easier.

Also, It's a pain in the arse to search for anything related to Solid Snake because 80% of results are Big freakin Boss. That's yet another reason why I hate Piss Walker and Phantom Peeness. Solid Snake isn't even remotely close to bein' part of those games. It made sense with Snake Eater - it was an inportant story to tell before finishing the series with MGS4... Big Boss' games should've had their own title.
