>takes place in the 1960s concerning American covert ops and the administrations of JFK and LBJ
>subtitle is derived from a term for survivalist soldiers in Vietnam
>but the story has ACTUALLY FUCKING NOTHING to do with the Vietnam War
Explain this
Snake Eater has to do with two things you illiterate retard.
1. Snake literally eats snakes.
2. He 'eats' The Boss and becomes the next Boss.
>you now remember that MGS3 has been retconned so that Big Boss is no longer a talented and gifted soldier, but instead was handheld through the game by Skullface.

It's an anime disguised as an American shooter. What were you expecting?
Why can't a story have a setting without being dedicated 100% to that happenings of that setting?
Can we not have Vietnam War games where you run a nice icecream shop?
NOT FOR HONOR
Metal Gear Acid was the best in the series.
It had nothing to do with Acid.
you're still in a dream
>>343539612
kojima was a mistake
Yep, it sure is a video game alright.
>>343539612
Friendly reminder that Kojima is a hack that hasn't made anything good in a decade and Death Standing will suck.
>>343539383
>muh realism
>illiterate rice farmers developing nuclear capable battle tanks
C'mon now.

>Kojima is a talentless hack
Color me suprised.
>>343539612
afaik skullface only cleaned up after snake
>>343539612
If Big Boss was never seen and never took down anyone, it was still entirely him.
I think they only said he was 'back-up' in case Snake died as well.
>>343539612
>You're Big Boss now, dedicated fan!
>also Big Boss was pointless and never important
MGSV was such a mess.
tfw Kojima had been trying to get rid of Hayter for years. And then finally did. :(
>>343539612
It never said that once.
He cleaned up behind him, that's it.

>>343539383
MGS3 is fan service. You wantu be Snakku so damn baddu? Werr herr, you are snake, the badu snakku that fucku evelythingu up!
>wow Big Boss is so awesome!
Then Kojima went on to make MGS5 as final fanservice so that retards who thought BB was cool could pretend to be him.
>>343540665
I never understood the "kojima is a westboo" meme, guy blatantly only cares about the japanese version
>>343540909
MGS3 is the third part of a thematic trillogy
mgs2 is about Memes, the passing of information and how that effects that paths someones life can take
mgs1 is about Genes, the inherant traits that determine what paths someones life can take
mgs3 is about Scenes of history, how the time period someone is born in will determine what paths their life can take.

Snake Eater takes place in '64, the military didn't go full in Vietnam until '65.

top kek
i guess i didn't visit /mgg/ in a long time
>>343539383
Kojima has never made a game actually set in another war. MGSV's theme of language and revenge are pertinent to the Afghan invasion of the 80s in tone and setting. MGS3's theme of scene determining who are enemies one day and allies another in the jungle setting is related to the Vietnam conflict.
>tfw there's no metroidvania Metal Gear game where you unlock doors and shortcuts in a facility filled with guards.
>tfw no roaming bosses on top of regular bosses that appear before you can do anything major to the plot.
>tfw closest we got was Metal Gear Solid 1.
>>343543212
metal gear 2 is more open ended then MGS1
so is the NES port of metal gear 1 because they split three buildings in a linear path into like six arranged throughout a jungle
>>343543212
I think 1,3, and V were all close. 1 due to its physical limitations and V due to its open-world had you revisit old places with different challenges and skills. V got close with Quiet's appearance and 3 with The End. Even 2 had you running through platforms to find bombs and escape to Arsenal. I think backtracking is unpopular because it's not like if it's not focused on and roaming bosses are difficult to balance.
>>343539640
BUT FOR YOU
>>343543212
Uh what you're asking for sounds way more like a sandbox than a Metroidvania and that is basically what V was in large part
>>343544659
>>343544051
I think 3 and 4 are the only odd ones out in terms of strict linearity imo
Like they're big but you only ever move from one chunk to the next and there is no real incentive to revisit anyplace, whereas MGS1 has the whole hide-in-a-box-in-a-truck mechanic to fast travel anywhere on the map and MGS2 is specifically designed to be interconnected and send you back to multiple locations you've been before under new circumstances

>mfw Hayter voices the main character in an anime I like
Weird hearing that voice I associate with Snake come from a pretty anime boy
>They could've given us night shirts...
>>343545471
>watching anime in EnglishI honestly wish I could stomach it, I'm just too much of a tightass when it comes to hearing character's voices as I figure the creator most closely intends for them to sound. Subtitles are distracting as fuck
>>343545658
Same with me, I took two years of Jap in high school, but I watched that in English because

feelio when you strongly consider learning Japanese only to make watching anime better
