I honestly think the line in MGS4 was almost required. So yeah, it was kind of forced, but really, what else does Ocelot say when you beat him? It was fitting.Thunderhorse31 said:It still felt incredibly forced. In MGS is was cool, in MGS 3 is was extremely cool (as you said, nostalgia), in MGS 4 is was shoved in there and just made me think "Again? Really?"
It also served to aid the GIANT RETCON that revolved around Liquids arm.
