You do realize liquid is not full grown here yet right? Plus this is the prototype for metal gear Rex anyways. Makes perfect sense

MGS3 didn’t end with a metal gear boss fight either you know and you weren’t even the real big boss in that game so it all makes sense plus this game wraps up all the holes in the METAL GEAR series time lines with the real big boss of to Zanzibar land to start up outer haven

You do realize the the next game in the time line is not metal gear solid but the original metal gear for the msx2/fc/NES with the creation of outer haven

Agreed, although I don’t know why they couldn’t have polished that last mission or at least trimmed it back, set it in the middle of the Africa map rather than struggle making a new island before dropping it. Imagine how awesome it would have been if you finally got to deploy your huge army against that thing, taking it down quickly but with a real sense of progression from the earlier fight.
It’s absolutely ridiculous that the last Metal Gear game removed the final fight with a Metal Gear.

That should have been more of a priority. Moreso than anything in Chapter 2.

What should have happened was take the best bit of Chapter 2 (the MB infection and the last Quiet mission) and integrate it into 1, dump everything else, finish the end mission. It would have been a shorter game but at least it would have a proper ending.

I’d even suggest editing out the ‘twist’ completely, and cut all references to it from the game, because it completely deflates the game’s story. Not only that but it makes you play that prologue again, something that was already barely enjoyable the first time. Just should have dropped it, and left that particularly damaging and cheap plot twist ambiguous and something for fans to speculate. It was more fun that way.

It’s like all the wrong stuff got cut and too much crap made it in. Like it was put together by some Bizarro version of Kojima.

It should’ve ended where Liquid stole Metal gear IMO.. That would’ve been a perfect cliffhanger for a possible sequel and retcon that stupid body double twist…

What could this even mean? Are they going to finish Mission 51? Make an Epilogue DLC? Why reveal that there was a proper boss fight on a half assed special edition of the are going to release it?

I was enjoying the game so much but it really fell apart in the last couple of hours. If they plan on finishing it they should at least tell everybody.

This series should end with you taking down a METAL GEAR.

HAHAHA you’re so right!

Touche…

I’m also surprised at how dumb people in comments sections are. For instance, the use of punctuation to delineate where one sentence ends and another begins.
