Metal Gear Acid: Difference between revisions

* [[Big Bad Ensemble]]: Leone, {{spoiler|William Flemming/Gary Murray}} {{spoiler|Lena Arrow}} and {{spoiler|Alice Hazel}}.

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: The entire second fight with {{spoiler|Leone}}

* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Venus. For starters, she attempts to kill Snake nearing the end because Wiseman ordered her to. It is also heavily implied that she couldn't refuse his orders as he removed her free will.}}

** {{spoiler|Snake and the other test subjects were this, but gained amnesia. Venus was one of the more "successful" ones.}}

* [[Discontinuity Nod]]: In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]]'', rations were used to replenish stamina, rather than to heal as in the other games. However, in the ''Ac!d'' games, since there is no stamina, rations heal again. The description for the "Ration" card in the second game says that in the old days, soldiers used to think that rations restored stamina.

* [[The Dog Bites Back]]: {{spoiler|After Vincent is defeated by Snake and Venus, he learns that Rodzinski is leaving the facility on his getaway chopper and leaving the security forces to take the blame. After a particularly big [[Kick the Dog]] moment from Rodzinski, Vincent orders his soldiers to shoot him down, with the soldiers obeying the command without hesitation, presumably agreeing with him about why they should do so.}}

'''Security Forces:''' Yes, sir. }}

* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: In the second game, {{spoiler|Vince}} is disgusted by his employer's lack of honor {{spoiler|trying to evac the site with its personnel left behind when it's clear there's no stopping Kopplethorn}} and actually orders his men to kill him by blowing his helicopter out of the sky. Before he dies, he requests that Snake and Venus let the rest of his men live.

* [[Kudzu Plot]]: To a lesser degree than in the main series, but it does get complicated at times. Lampshaded in 2 - Dalton struggles to keep up.

* [[Large Ham]]: The Kerotan who advertises new card packs.

* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: {{spoiler|Kopplethorn's entire reason for going batshit insane on his own facility. To some extent, Lucy's motherly drive for her ungodly mutants drives her to use Chaioth to make the world a better place for the test subjects.}}

* [[Lucky Charms Title]]

** Or, since she uses EXACTLY the same cards you do, fill your deck with movement and healing cards, position yourself towards the edge of the area facing the entrance next to the pit, get {{spoiler|Venus}} right next to the edge, and punch-punch-kick her off for an easy victory.

* [[No Fourth Wall]]

** Snake and Venus calmly discussing the final boss's weakness as it rants on and on about her motivations.

* [[Nostalgia Level]]: The {{spoiler|Metal Gear KODOQUE/Pythagoras}} fight in the second game.

* [[Pacifist Run]]: Much, much harder, especially thanks to the range of tranq weapons, how plentiful lethal weapons are, and CQC's tendency to knock someone off a ledge... with lethal results. Still somewhat encouraged by Dalton, who will mention early on how many people you've killed so far and will note that you ''will'' be killed if you are caught, and {{spoiler|Vince, who later on asks that Snake and Venus spare some of his soldiers}}, but beyond that, there's no [[Video Game Cruelty Punishment]], aside from not getting as many bonus points or cards as you do with no kills.

* [[Parrot Exposition]]: Mostly absent from both games, but lampshaded in the second game.

'''Dalton''': Huh? Do you know anything about it?<br />

'''Snake''': No... I just felt like I should say that. }}
