Snape kills Big Boss.

It's not about who dies or not, it's about HOW it happens. There's a lot of ambiguity between Peace Walker and the very first Metal Gear, and while MGS 4 explains the general gist of what happens in between those games, there's still a lot of stuff that isn't clear (like how Big Boss defects back to the US while secretly building Outer Heaven)kuolonen said:
It's not about who lives or who dies. In Metal Gear lore the period MGSV takes place is the period where Big Boss goes full bad guy, and it's not really explained in other games beyond "shit got REAL bad". So now we get to see just how bad shit got and we get to see Sake's fall from hero to villain and I'm so excited you don't even know.kuolonen said:
2/10, there's no Tubular Donkey to be found (his avatar also gives off a Destructoid vibe, no?), but at least I have yet another Erin avatar to use if I ever want to:Teoes said:

S'pose you're right - if they were really dedicated to this strip then that account would have been set up and tweeting months ago.Skatologist said:2/10, there's no Tubular Donkey to be found (his avatar also gives off a Destructoid vibe, no?), but at least I have yet another Erin avatar to use if I ever want to:Teoes said:

Get with the fucking program, guys!
Yes, they deserve a -3/10 for only tweeting out stuff relevant to previous within the last 12 hours. What they should have done is play the long term game and planned this shit out months or years in advance, making Erin's account private and just make it public now for this strip. That would at least show they have real dedication instead of this quarter-assed attempt. That's right, this isn't even half assed, it's quarter-assed!Teoes said:S'pose you're right - if they were really dedicated to this strip then that account would have been set up and tweeting months ago.Skatologist said:2/10, there's no Tubular Donkey to be found (his avatar also gives off a Destructoid vibe, no?), but at least I have yet another Erin avatar to use if I ever want to:

I've personally took to hiding in locker to avoid spoilers. A carboard box sounds good in theory but when I tried that before MGS4. I opened it up on launch day to find I'd been shipped to Reykjavik. 
-"Read Don Quijote the other day. Good fun, but it was really sad when he died."
-"Hey, spoilers! I was totally gonna read that! Thanks for ruining it, wanker!"

As a fairly obsessed Metal Gear Solid fan, I'd like to dispute that...Hoplon said:

... But I can't.
Nonetheless! It is entirely possible to spoil this rambling bullshit, so please don't. A surprisingly large amount of people actually care about it.
... wait ... so people are complaining about spoilers for ... a game about a period in the mgs history that we allready basicaly know what happens in. I mean sure, we don't know the exact details of every action, but we do know who lives, who dies and what the general flow of the plot is. What's left to spoil? The exact butcheeck big boss gets shot by a bullet because he got spoted for the 10th time that day? Come the fuck on ...
And the key to actuly understanding the Metal Gear plot is to drop all pretense that Kojima had any sense when he made the games and play them not in release order, but in "in universe" timeline. As in Starting with MGS3 and ending with MGS4. Do that, and thinks start falling into place without the need for years of line graphs and spreadsheets of what plot point connects to what other one from what other game.

What's that? Play the game before seeing what everyone on the Internet's talking about? That makes WAY too much sense for Erin to try!Caramel Frappe said:
