Big Boss is about to go nuclear in METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN (and Ground Zeroes)

You can’t really move during that segment. Just move the camera and put on some jammin’ tunes.

I had a lot of fun with this game and as soon as Skullface brought up the language of nukes I knew this was a Metal Gear game after all. But oh is it dumb. I wish the game had more of this. Only with actually directed cutscenes instead of car rides. He’ll, I’ll take some stock footage of nuclear tests too.

I feel like the car ride was supposed to have a back and forth between Skull Face and Big Boss but they never recorded any lines for Big Boss and just stuck the (sick ass) theme song in there?

I also hate the next part. I’m sure whatever happened with the Man on Fire will be explained in excruciating detail in some cassette tapes but visually it’s awful storytelling. They have this cool face off then he turns around and gets squished. The End.

At least the line is great.

I mean to be fair we don’t know if he’s dead-dead from that. It’s not anything worse than he’s suffered before.

Every time somebody jumps into a walker-gear the only thing I can think about is how much piloting one would hurt your back and knees. You just have to squat in it and hold your tuchis out in the wind while it trots along.

Huey why did you make a vehicle without a seat?

Take like one look at the man and you KNOW why.

Huey’s enough of an ass to think that, because he can sit in the air with his cool robot legs, everyone else should be able to. And if they get a hernia, it’s ALL THEIR FAULT and if anything they should be THANKING him for exposing their poor health.

It’s true; the man has no ass.

That of course being just a cover for him being EXTREMELY vindictive a person. Oh you wanna have a persona mech? Fine, you get to stand like I do all day.

Truly, the most evil person in this game.

I thought they were leaning on their shins.

I haven’t been able to catch up on episodes until now and boy did I miss out. Have some comics that should have come earlier.

If only D-Dog could use a gun. Then there’d be no reason to bring Quiet what with D-Dog being better at stealth than a woman who can turn invisible.

I’m very impressed at how forgettable Skullface is. You’d think that body horror edgelord cowboy who speaks entirely in monologues would stand out more.

Thatfake ending came out of nowhere. You meet Code Talker, learn about the parasites, and then suddenly you know where Skullface is hiding and it’s final confrontation time.

Episode 51 is up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IAZetGx1vE Miller’s gone a bit nuts.

It’s great how Skullface’s motivation and entire plan can be summarized as: He’s French-Canadian, plus nukes.

Is anyone else just a little bit concerned that just just chucking the vials into a fire probably isn’t the safest method of disposal?

I honestly think this actually foiled Skull Face’s last glory moment, he was killed by fucking Huey of all people and in a very anticlimactic way as well. He had to have tried to spit out “wait, anyone but YOU”

Also I guess there was a bit embracing of all three Snakes in this. The three must fuse at some point into one to overcome even the most overpowered of bosses.

That does give the great mental image of all three snakes doing the DBZ fusion dance.

But what was Vapor Snake’s contribution to the fight?

The fact that you can get dressed in an entire new suit during a mech fight.

Also the flamethrower dick.

Big Boss kept Pequod safe.
Venom Snake was blowing up the giant robot.
Vapor Snake was laying in the grass, mashing the “RESUPPLY” button on his iDroid. (he was desperately trying to get more phantom cigars and squirt guns, but signal interference from Sahelantropus changed the requests to “more rockets for Venom”)
