Metal Gear Solid/YMMV: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: In ''The Twin Snakes'', during the Psycho Mantis scene when he's forcing your controller to move, he begins laughing. A second later, three photos in the back, which show real people in them (including Kojima), come to life and begin laughing in extremely high pitched voices that serves as both [[Nightmare Fuel|frightening]] and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|quite]] [[Most Annoying Sound|hilarious]]. That's never explained nor mentioned again, though it's not entirely out of the realms of possibility that it's all an illusion created by Mantis.

* [[Breather Boss]]: The Hind D.

** Also, Liquid Snake desired to murder Big Boss in revenge for either allegedly being knowingly given the inferior genes by Big Boss or being told by Big Boss repeatedly that he was inferior, and hated Snake partially for stealing that chance. Liquid Snake's VA, [[Cam Clarke]], later voices [[The Lion King|a character]] who attempts to avenge his father after discovering that he was murdered by his uncle in [[Kingdom Hearts II (Video Game)|Kingdom Hearts II]].

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Remember the Yoshi doll in ''The Twin Snakes'', the one that, unlike the Mario doll, doesn't actually do much for you when you shoot it other than having it cry its name? Well, with ''Snake Eater 3D'', the Yoshi doll will have a bit more use this time.

** Worth noting, however, is the fact that the enemy AI in ''Twin Snakes'' is vastly improved over the original, making them much more difficult to run from, hide from, and fight.

* [[It Was His Sled]]: The one scene described in great detail whenever anyone tells someone who hasn't played it is Psycho Mantis' boss fight and the trick to beat him.

* [[Recycled Script]]: Several plot elements and set pieces used in ''[[Metal Gear 1987 (Video Game)|Metal Gear 1987]]'' and ''[[Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake (Video Game)|Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake]]'' reappear in ''Metal Gear Solid'' with no comment from anybody.

** [[Big Bad|Liquid]]: Seriously, when you think about it, especially given what happens in the rest of the series: he's played like a fiddle and given a ({{spoiler|unjustified}}) massive inferiority complex by Ocelot, suffers not one, not two, but ''three'' brutal beatdowns at the hands of Snake, {{spoiler|and is ultimately killed off in a cutscene by FOXDIE when he pretty much had Snake dead to rights}}. And then, just when you think {{spoiler|he's getting his own back at Ocelot by taking him over via his reattatched arm and masterminding the events that follow, it turns out he was just a [[Virtual Ghost]] used by Ocelot as part of his scheme.}} Kinda makes you feel sorry for the poor guy, even if he was an evil mastermind in his own right.

*** On the other hand, he was a hop skip and jump away from being a complete monster, so how much of all that he had coming to him depends on the player.

** [[Evil Is Sexy|Sniper Wolf]]: Similar to Psycho Mantis, though not quite as dark.

** [[Smart Guy|Otacon]]: He's really not cut out for this sort of thing to begin with. He also is the helpless pawn who's horrified to discover what Metal Gear ''really'' is for. Also, his [[Stockholm Syndrome]] for {{spoiler|Sniper Wolf}}. It would be a lot more effective if he didn't [[Wangst]] so much about it though.
