I Just Beat Mgs2

BadKarma · December 2003

It was Otacon and snake. And your all kinda missing the point. I was wondering what your thoughts were on the need for digital censorship. Do we want the lies, slander, random idiocy floating around? Will it hurt the human race? Or do we need uncensored information?

Isn't that pretty much exactly what I just said? Although you phrased it better.

Someone posted about this a while ago, called it "suspension of disbelief". You see the hero of a movie jump off a 50 foot cliff and live because he "lands correctly". Your mind can just about handle that it could be possible to do that. Then you see him get shot in the head five times and live. This you can't believe, as there's no way anyone can survive that.

Same with Vamp, you see him drink blood, fair enough, maybe he's just a freak. You see him run on water, levitate, and deflect bullets with a knife. Riiiiight....

The same goes for Liquid's arm, there is no way I can see that you could take over someone's body through their arm. There have been no recorded cases of people with pig heart transplants being possesed by the pig.

Psycho mantis was believeable because..... I don't know. Somehow psychic powers and cyborg ninja's just seem believeable, wheras a bisexual vampire doesn't. (you find out Vamp is in fact bi in a conversation with Snake/Pliskin)

You are led to believe that the big shell was a "real" simulation.

However, how can you, as the game player, prove it?

There was already at least 2 AIs in the form of the Colonel and Rose, so whats to stop everyone else being one? Whats stopping the entire thing being played out by Raiden's nanos?

When you die, why does it come up a detailed computer simulation error screen?

Its *all* simulated!

^^ And that is exactly why MGS2's story pisses me off so much...

BlackMage · December 2003

colnel: doesnt exist, hes an ai program
rose: see above
olga: her kid is beng held by partiots, if raiden dies, kid dies. she is also the ninja
snake/pliskin: wants to save world/destroy arsenal gear/look damn cool doing it. helps raiden
otocon: helpin snake

the actual truth about the real story unveiled:
the whole thing, gw the president arsenal gear etc. was actually a test for a different ai system to see if it could cause things that would make people do what it wanted them to do, somewhat willingly. it, unfortunately, was a success as it caused raiden (an inexperienced VR numvaek) to go through the game with a whole lot of references to shadow moses (mgs1) ie: harrier == hind, vamp == psycho mantis, the missle thingy, solidus == liquid, fortune == raven etc.

shadow moses was chosen as the 'level' because it was (also) complicated as hell.

note that: solidus, dead cell, president, emma, olga and raiden were pawns in the 'game.' sanke + otocon showed up of their own accord. ocelot was there to observe and make sure things ran smoothly

yes doom. the game did end when the tanker got blowed up. get substance, vr missions.

All I've done is watch my mates play MGS2, and I can say that those two parts of the game made the experiance a whole heap better <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Well Rose obviously DOES exist because Raiden sees her at the end. The real question is, at what point did Raiden stop talking to the real Rose and start talking to the AI? Personally I think just before you meet Snake in arsenal gear.

Personally I found Substance to be teh suck tbh. The VR missions were quite frankly pants, and the Snake Tales were poorly tacked together sections from the original MGS2 played in a different order. Couldn't they have at least shown us the struts you don't visit in MGS2? Or the shell 2 core before it floods? Why wasn't there a mode where you could play through the big shell from Snake's perspective? That's what I thought the Snakes Tales WERE!

Plus the Snake Tale "External Gazer" was obviously created under the influence of drugs/alcohol/cheese/all of the above.

I loved it!

I also loved it when I locked her in a choke and dragged her over the cockroaches. Once I was even a little too forceful and snapped her neck.
Oh, and knocking her out then crawling on her body and calling Otacon was simply a hoot. Tee hee.

As far as being in a jungle, that is goig to rock. Its great to get back to the roots of Metal Gear, as the first game the insertion was in a jungle. :) Very cool.

Although I think you're confused about a few things:

1) MGS3 takes place in Russia, not Vietnam.
2) You're playing as Big Boss. It takes place in the early 60's, before Solid, Liquid, and Solidus were cloned.

</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>

And your evidence that he's really in New York is... ?

If you die to Solidus, you get the simulation screen. Thus, its not real. The apparent facts are that Raiden never had a "real" adventure, he's likely hooked up somewhere being fed a VR simulation.

So, taking this logically on from when he "wins" the simulation, Rose still isn't real, neither is Snake, in fact nothing of the Big Shell episode is actually real. Sure, some bits and pieces might be real, for example there probably is a Solid Snake since we've played as him for a ton of games, however the Snake in Raiden's simulation is just another AI.

Or at least thats how the "its all a simulation" theory goes.

a snake eater is a member of a certain special forces unit...

Venmoch · December 2003

Am I one of the only people that thinks that Snake may have had a brief stint in the SAS?

Or is that just me (AFAIK there were at least two pointers to it in MGS2...)

Kage · December 2003

Snake messed up when he said "He who dares, wins" (SAS motto, correct?) He was supposed to act as a marine, but said the wrong motto when he was talking to Raiden. This sort of blew his cover.

Majin · December 2003

Raiden is a Puss
Snake would kick his as-s

The next game had better all be snake, or a robot that looks like snake!

Well mate, back in the 60's, no Delta. Some SEALS, they were new, and Green Berets. And special forces in general were pretty much known as snake eaters.
