lol
 
This series is so ridiculous, every major joke/plot point in this series has been spoiled for me in the last `126 hours and I'm loving every moment of it lol.

edit: Now it's over, oh man what a ride this series is. I need to get to playing it.
 
I'd agree with this. Last line was pretty good actually. But in retrospect holy shit this story is bonkers. But i think thats why everyone loves it.

it was bonkers when they talked about clones and nanomachines in MGS1 where just about everyone started in the saga lol
 
That was good. But damn getting Johnny and Meryl married still bothers me.

And Kojima really went overboard with the Zero and 100 thing. One analogy was good, not 5 for God sakes.

They really oughta explain why Zero and Big Boss hated each other in The Phantom Pain. Major Zero didn't really showed to be very invested in The Boss anyway.

EDIT: It does get me happy that Big Boss ended that way though. He finally gets it why The Boss sacrificed.
 
I thought it was a prequel?

It is. It's set
9 years after Peace Walker
.

WHAT!?, I haven't been keeping up. I thought Ground Zeroes was just a little demo for The Phantom Pain later this year. :(

Well those hundreds of times of GZ content doesn't get made in a year!

Christ this game's been in dev for at least 3 years.
 
I'm so confused now,
how does the story continue with Big Boss if he just died
?

Phantom Pain is another prequel set between Peace Walker and Metal Gear 1 (not Metal Gear Solid 1 )

Well didnt Big Boss ditched Zero which starts Peace Walker? Then it was all about Zero getting him back for Cypher(Patriots) for that game. Then boom MGSV is about BB getting into a coma and MSF being destroyed by Cypher, which leads to BB making his new army and Kaz being hellbent on revenge against Cypher ie Zero?

It really was, but the game was pretty self contained if you don't include the phone call post credits. Once the sequels came it really ramped the craziness up like mad.
 
Y'all know that Kojima needs to do a WWII Cobra Unit game before he's done with MGS.

Stranger is that "Snake is back in FOX". And it wasn't really for getting him into Cipher, but sabotaging MSF.
 
AH ok, see I thought, for some weird reason, that Kojima had said it was a proper sequel to MGS4 and I was confused on where they'd take the series with that. Good to know, I guess.
 
It's a prequel, but what I'm confused on several parts of the Phantom Pain's trailers, especially
the robotic arm

Big Boss loses his arm and replaces it with a prosthetic. Notice how he had gloves just now in this MGS4 scene? His body in MGS4 is taken from pieces of Liquid and Solidus so it's not even mostly his.

This isn't something just invented out of thin air by Phantom Pain either. Even the 1990 Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake game recognized Big Boss as part cyborg.

That would be really cool, yeah, although I would be fine if it just focused on The Boss and not the Cobra Unit as a whole.

I'm not sure I want to play as The Pain lol

edit: In fact they could have the Boss beat the different COBRA unit members and they would become loyal to her. They'd be the bosses of the game.

I guess that explains a bit of confusion.

Oh yeah, that's pretty much what I mean. Play as the Boss. Then Kojima can do whatever he wants with his life. It's been hard for him y'know.
