I like that there is no question about Diamond Dogs being the good guys. Kaz and Ocelot constantly talk about intentionally aggravating the situations in Afghanistan and Zaire to make more money. No ideological commitment at all except for money and robot tech. In Peace Walker Big Boss helped make Nicaragua socialist, in V none of them seem to have ever cared about that and are more focused on revenge for getting their platform blown up.
They could have gone further with that and should have. Big Boss is a fucking monster by the time MG1 and 2 came around and they didn't show it. I know it's a different guy but that just adds to the issue. No one played the MSX games and MGS3 and 4 made Big Boss out to be more heroic than he should be seen as by most players. The story was done by 3 and 4 should have never happened but I liked Peace Walker as a game on its own but also showing a slow descent into the big boss of Zanzibar Land, MGSV should have been like Ground Zeroes the whole way through. If hinted at atrocities were followed through on and it was the real big boss doing it, it would make for a better game both in canon and as an allegory. Huey was fucking right to sell them out to the UN, a totally non aligned nuclear equipped PMC is Warhawk ancapistan and just no good for anyone. The game never stopped glorifying it. Also no meeting Gray Fox or anything with Sniper Wolf , instead he tied in Volgin and Psycho Mantis instead of people who actually met Big Boss during that time. It was a total waste of story potential, the gameplay was okay but got old really fast.

Yeah but he was doing it to date a teenage girl :cringe:
MSF's logo is black and yellow for a reason, I think.
