      Yeah this is the correct take. Y'all should listen to the peace walker tapes on El Che

          Yo you can help the Sandinista in fucking Peacewalker? Did they do a PS4 remaster collection because I sure as shit don't have a Vita (or was it PSP?) anymore

            If you use PSNow, the MGS HD Collection (which includes Peace Walker) is on there. But it's a streaming service so it lags like hell.

            You can also just do a PSP emulator

            They did a Metal Gear Solid HD collection for xbox and PS3, but I don't think it ever came out for PS4/5

            That being said you could probably run it on a PSP emulator for free

      You can totally put Chico into the Combat Team in Peace Walker and I'm never sure whether that's oversight because big central character or whether that was supposed to tie into the thematic downfall of Big Boss.

          Yeah I know, diehard(man) MGS fan.

          Just always found it odd that with all the discussions about child soldiers that fact always gets overlooked. Big Boss totally maybe used a Child Soldiers in Peace Walker. I mean any version after 3 and before 4 get's up too some heinous shit, but the whole "Brainwash enemy combatants to join your army" also started in Peace Walker.

          I just generally think Peace Walker was way better at portraying the downfall.

          spoiler

          Big Boss totally threatens to shoot a Child because he doesn't want to fight anymore lmao, BB in V is pretty much a saint in comparison.

      Not sure where the "Ancap Big Boss" meme came from. Playing the HOI4 mod The New Order and WerBell's playthrough is essentially just that, being both a greedy prick who wants to get rich off of conquering Russia as well as being a Big Boss Expy.

    The Metal Gear Solid series really trips me out sometimes. Like, the themes it touches on are really serious, but it's done in such a goofy way with weird jokes peppered in. How can a game about war and child soldiers be so silly?!

        I would a Japanese comrade to explain their cultural "lens" to me.

        There is so much anime, JRPG stuff, manga stuff, that I don't understand that I feel like I have a disease.

        Unlike Metal Gear, Svejk is consistently silly. It doesn't have serious heartfelt monologues on nature of brotherhood and loss or whatever sandwiched between two poop jokes.

          There are short serious bits about pointlessness of war, but they turn into absurd jokes. very quickly.

    Fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan but also pro UNITA mercenaries in Angola is the ultimate "playing both sides so I always end up on top" move.

        I don't kill anyone. I was gonna only keep the Soviets safe but ended up not hurting the bad guys in Angola either. I basically only invested in non-lethal weapons. Makes it easier to get new recruits anyways.

            I just let the auto-purger do its work or cull the lowest skilled :capitalist: At the point I'm at now in the game, I have like a thousand plus recruits so its kinda hard to deal with them individually xD

    Okay this one is... Solidus Snake right? The Q anon president who has child soldiers? People here have been slowly teaching me about metal gear lore.
