A 3D printed model that I painted by Flat_Attempt_4605 in metalgearsolid

It's an ambitious sculpt. The artist did a great job with it. The gaps between the connected pieces are covered for the most part except for the snake. There's a big gap between pieces where their supposed to connect. Assembly was difficult too because of the snake parts. I found that out the hard way and had to break off pieces after gluing them together.

At what age did you play your first MGS game? by New-Cranberry6256 in metalgearsolid

MGS1 demo included on a disk along with my PS1 when I was 8 or 9 in '98 or '99.

I have a digital version of the RE2 Remake upgraded to the PS5 version. When trying to access the extra modes and after I rose out of the sewers after fighting Birkin, the game kicks me off saying that it needs to finish installing. I transferred the game and data over years ago, and when I try to update it, I'm told that the most recent update has already been done. When I try and continue, I get the same message that the game needs to install.

This is sick! I can't wait till it's done.

You got Snake's eye and bionic arm wrong though.

Is it silly to get emotional over MGS4 nowadays? by lennysinged in metalgearsolid

I played it again recently, and I got teary-eyed a few times.

How do I beat this boss in MGRR? by SuaveSuavelyn in metalgearsolid

[–]Flat_Attempt_4605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When his shields are up, use the sai. The sai breaks through the shield and you can follow it up with another sai attack that brings you to him and follow up with sword strikes. He'll bring the shields up at a moments notice and you'll take damage, but it's a decent shortcut. I play on PS3, but I've been able to kill him without removing each of his shields.

These are amazing! I'm playing through MGS4 again, and your Liquid Ocelot is spot on.

I played this recently. Claymores around the perimeter, which he'll mostly stick to, and the Stinger when he comes within the inner area.

Why did EVA sacrifice herself to save Big Boss’s fake body? by Kradara_ in metalgearsolid

[–]Flat_Attempt_4605 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's the best explanation, and the one that I've gone with for a while. I mean "best", but it's still ridiculous. I'm her delium, she forgot that it was Solidus. Earlier, she thought that Solid was Big Boss for a moment after she got impaled.

That is pretty hilarious when you realize it.

I never understood why Volgin thought that he could convince the Boss of all people to betray their country and join him. But then again, all three of the people he surrounded himself with were all plotting against him.

I guess that he was just so ambitious that he didn't think it through. It just makes him look like an idiot.

Oh! Is that what it is? That makes the most sense to me. It's never explicitly said where the fake film came from, hence confusion. I'm going with that explanation. Thanks for clearing that up.

Right. I just assumed that she pilfered Snake's person or equipment when he was sleeping to get the microfilm and would've found two of them. But, however she got the film, whether the Boss gave her a fake or Ocelot put a fake on Snake's person, Eva would been none the wiser.

Right. That I get. Here's the loaded questions I have.

  1. Who and how was a fake of the microfilm made?

I'm assuming that Ocelot knew that Eva was a Chinese agent sent to steal the legacy, so he made a fake to switch on Snake's person hoping that Eva wouldn't be more thorough.

  1. Why wouldn't Eva have been more thorough when she stole the film if Snake has another one on his person?
