So is it really possible to kill Quiet and not do any of her stuff? I obviously didn't want to do that on my first playthrough.
Also, will I ever get her back? I mean, I spent like 2mil GMP upgrading her stuff and after episode 45 she's gone forever?

End of the "kingdom of the flies" it shows New York with Eli saying "not yet. It's not over yet." That's where people are getting it from.
An ok, this explains why chapter 2 is a fuck ton shorter than chapter 1. I wonder whether we will get something on 9/11?

Nope, he's not.
Wow, wasn't expecting that. Thanks.

How many times did he have to unequivocally state he wasn't in the game?
Probably already been posted here but I haven't been keeping up. Noticed that if you zoom in while in the helicopter, the reflection you see in the window is

Wow, that is hilarious. I can't even be mad at this "twist" anymore, since the writing has been on the wall.

I suspected it as soon they had you make an avatar. That combined with the other guys voice being Snake's voice and Kojima's record of doing shit with characters you play as (fucking Raiden bullshit) and I was on edge expecting it.
Once you go run into Huey for the first time and the AI pod says something like "Snake? No, it's not you" I knew it was coming.

The writing is so damn on the wall. The way they speak to you(Miller/Ocelot), what is said, you having your eye despite it being shot out by Ocelot...and I mentioned a few pages ago, when you die in the prologue it says 'Mission Failed', when Ishmael dies it says 'Time Paradox'. Some things are subtle, some are not, but it's put together damn well.
Just found this cool sample PDF of the Official Guide (24MB direct download):

Here's the Official Guide site too, without the solution on how to unlock Mission 46 ;-)

Bwahahaha what is this Kojima? It's a bit too much, but you're still the best Kojima. The best.
"Best Quiet scene"??

That and the helicopter scene are really subtle. Feel like the game needed more of this.

So.... do we know what super taboo subject Kojima was talking about early on they tackle in this game?
Chemical warfare? Because of the parasite stuff?
Child Soldiers? Do you ever actually fight Child Soldiers? I know they play a part with the Eli stuff but I dunno how far they go there.

Someone put this in a better way don't remember the exact words/poster but essentially you need to think to understand mgs and the moment you actually think Ts complete utter shit from a realistic point of view . But still entertaining stuff from a
Games/story /lore view . So embrace the idioticadness narrative

There are missions with child soldier enemies but it's an instant game over if you kill them.

What I don't get is why Mantis couldn't tell you weren't the real Snake given the powers he has. Maybe because you believed it until the end?

I don't think Mantis really 'cares' for you. The only person he does seem to really care about is Eli.

Way too obvious, especially since Huey is suspicious in that same scene.
It presents an interesting conundrum to the player, who's still likely gonna stick to the tranq/fulton strategy but can't shoot their way out if they get detected. But it doesn't really say anything about child soldiers, not to mention the way too blatant lord of the flies references...

I got a notification saying Huey's battle gear was available to use, but I can't see it anywhere. How do you use it?

Huey is just surprised by the shrapnel in his head, or that's how I took it.

Seeing as how Ahab is literally a surrogate for the player, it definitely is a moment that makes the player think.
And the lord of flies references...I wonder what else was cut from the game. Mission 51 looks pretty complete in terms of cutscene, just needs facial animations and some touch up. Man, it's a shame...

Bam Bam Baklava

Given the way Episode 51 ends. Maybe they cut it because it was alluding to some DLC or the next game but now that's not happening with Kojima gone?
funkystudent
Member
I would guess maybe it was cut simply because they wanted to ship the game sooner. If it was going to be DLC they wouldnt be showing it like they are.
But the game seems like you could easily slot in some story DLC. But with Kojima gone and who knows what state the team is even in these days I wouldnt bet on the single player being touched in any form. I am not even sure we will ever see a patch for single player stuff.

Man can't believe important ending stuff got cut.
It can't be understated how much endings have an effect on how people perceive a game, devs need to make it a priority to have it done before some middle stuff. Everyone should've saw what happened to ME3 when Bioware had to rush the ending and took that to heart.

I meant DLC after 51. Not 51 being DLC.
It ends in a way where it could be picked up again in DLC or the next game.

If anything I think that scene was supposed to be the ending for Mantis/Eli, that they make it to America and are recruited into Foxhound.
.....or something.

You mean like the end of the Episode 51 video thingy?
Well some people speculated that in MGS-Verse 9/11 may have been an inside job (conspiracy theorists go woooo) by the Patriot AI to expedite the world on a path to war economy by edging America towards the war in the middle east etc.

When you're sitting in the aerial command center, click and hold the right stick and look at snake's reflection in the helicopter window.
It's a clear reflection of your custom character.

Since Liquid and Mantis (and Ocelot?) go to Foxhound eventually, wouldn't surprise me if there was a plan to have the next game be about Solidus.
Eli is in Africa, Solidus is there eventually and recruits child soldiers, so he could probably recruit Eli and Mantis. Plus, he wants to take Cipher/The Patriots down, so Eli could definitely ally to him. Also, Ocelot is kind of working for Solidus in MGS1, who by then is president.
I think there is a big story there to tell, and seeing how MGSV was supposed to end it seems it would have made sense to make the next game about this.
One thing that is weird is how Solidus sounds a lot more like the real Big Boss we always knew than either BB or Venom, with him recruiting child soldiers and all that.
