Re: Spoilers, though if you've been reading you prolly are good and rotten by now...

Oh, I've seen the Otacon ending on youtube, but not how the game deals with Meryl's absence, so that part will be interest as well. And I didn't know there were any other way of getting out of that prison cell without Otacon coming to save your ass XD

And yeah, the slash is there. Especially in MGS2. I don't *ship* characters, het or slash, because I find that I honestly don't care who the characters end up with. I mean, I can enjoy fan fiction, but I find that I'm more interested in dialogue and characterization, of which romance is sometimes a part. But... yeah, MGS is kinda gay in many different ways. And that's not even counting the canon gay provided with Revolver Ocelot, Vamp, Raikov, etc.

Also so far it has also had some of the most badass and complex female characters in gaming, so that also gets my attention. Like Fortune's Crowning Moment of Awesome which made up for her not having any pants. I'm just starting MGS3 (the game I am the least spoiled for so shhh XD), so I expect more awesome shortly).

Oh Raiden. He actually is a good example of a dynamic character who changes and grows, so I get ridiculously happy when he makes good. Also, his sword is the my favorite weapon in the game.

I think you can call someone else besides Otacon. I'm fairly certain Otacon's not the main way to go, actually... :puzzles:

I can totally respect that. :thumbs up:

OH GOD. Fortune. >.> I was ridiculously in love with her character, and not just she was the hottest set of pixels on the PS2 (I am so very shallow). So awesome, wish MGS2 had more of her, tho Vamp was pretty cool too. :D

MGS4 alone is making me regret my decision to go 360 Christmas. On one hand.... BioShock! On the other... MGS4! Ah well. Hindsight's 20/20.

I think the Colonel told me to call Otacon. I do remember there was a whole lotta talking in that jail cell, though. Because that's what characters do on the Codec. It doesn't matter if Snake is making his way through frikkin' lasers or is shirtless in a jail cell (which was probably Liquid's idea), Nastasha is gonna want to talk about how nukes are bad, just in case you missed that the Cold War happened, and Miller's going to be kinda creepy to the extent that the twist is so obvious that you can't believe you missed that this was a Date Movie and he's this close to take off his ponytail and glasses and because the Queen of the Prom, and Mei Ling is going to be adorable and say really obvious stuff in completely complicated ways. That's what MGS is all about.

To be clearer, I love reading fan fiction with all sorts of different pairings and I do read Snake/Otacon, but I usually don't care about which characters end up together in canon. Though any Snake and Otacon interaction is Win because they are amazing.

I actually at first disliked Fortune, mostly because she was wearing a bathing suit and was just being so self-pitying in a way that I felt was like the poor man's Sniper Wolf. However, then I realized that the game actually subverted the Tragic Anti-Heroine model, and Fortune was actually one badass mother- shut yo mouth.

Ah, Vamp. I really think he's well-done, creepy, and cool, but unfortunately, vampires are my pet peeve. Yeah, I know. Random, since they're not real. Plus he killed E.E.! Dick move, Nosferatu. Dick move.

The reviewer Yahtzee did once say that Hideo Kojima is in dire need of an editor equipped with waders and pruning shears. :D

:nods: I get that. I don't personally understand people who are pulling for their pairings to become canon or anything (though some things, like the Hayter bit, are nice). We are fandom! Canon is no object to us! \o/

Well, no one will ever beat Sniper Wolf. That bitch was hardcore. I wanted her to pwn Snake's ass. But Fortune rocked too.

Oh god. If I could change one thing about MGS's canon, it'd be E.E.'s death. For one- really sad! I kinda liked her! And for two- HOLY BUCKET OF ANGST, OTACON. How Hal continues to function as a mostly-sane human being escapes me. Also, someone told me once that after hearing just how fucked up Otacon was, they always assumed Kojima hated otaku and this was his way of kicking them around. If I didn't think Otacon was a bit of a creator's proxy, I'd totally agree.

Ha, no wonder I like the games. Just look at my posts!

Can I go off on another tangent here? Ok, so I guess you're spoiled for MGS2. I have a total theory that is probably not a theory so much as a reading between the lines: Hal's father was trying to drown E.E. when that incident happened. Maybe he was trying to commit suicide as well, but a six year old who just happened to be dragged along? No, I think he was trying to drown her in revenge for what Julia did to Hal. And Hal and E.E. are in serious denial that their family is more effed up than they first thought.

And that's saying something. Liquid has a less effed family-construct.

Saaaaaame. Yahtzee was all "rawr, too many words" and I was all "BUT I LIKE WURDS :D :D :D"

Oh, I totally agree. I figured that was how the gamer was supposed to piece it together the whole time. Now that I think about it, Hal's dad was kind of a bastard. :( Poor Emmerich kids. And lol, now Hal's a dad. I hope he does a better job than his folks did. Can't see how he couldn't, though. The bar is pretty low.

Lols, if I remember the scene in MGS2 right, Dave was there too, yes? I wonder if he was all, "shit, man, and I thought my past was screwed up."

[identity profile] vivalanaomi.livejournal.com 2008-10-29 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Complaining about MGS having too many words is like complaining about Mario games having too many sewer pipes. I mean, that's what the series has been like since MGS. It's partly an interactive movie, but I think it might even be closer to describe it as an interactive novel. And while the gameplay is great, Kojima gives the player the option of making the game so easy it's basically a stroll between cutscenes.

I also find Hal's dad's suicide-by-pool rather suspicious too. Although it's easy to accidentally drown, intentionally killing yourself in a pool is actually rather hard compared to the other ways you could go. Your body would automatically start going up for air, unless you weighted yourself down. But now I'm not really reading between lines and am instead planing an Epileptic Tree.

Could it be... murder?

I loved Snake in that scene. He seemed actually very sympathetic and awkward about how much Otacon was hurting... but still was keeping it together to finish the mission.
