Why was Boss so happy here?
This scene always floors me with how giddy she looks before she’s about to stab Snake Volgan’s Man. I know your end is coming but chillllll.

Hello, I hope everybody is well.
This is a quick post to announce that we have overhauled and updated the subreddit rules, in terms of the way they are listed in the reddit platform itself.
In essence the practical rules themselves and moderation has not changed. The main purpose of this update is to provide better clarity with Post removal messages, and to allow reports to be more specific.
You can read the new rule titles and their descriptions here.
Just three changes to note:
There is no longer a rule about spoilers when it comes to Posts. MGSV is over a decade old, and the spoiler rule was often used to report front page posts about the main spoiler for that game. Enforcing that is simply impractical. The intention of the rule remains, however, and it is now only applied to comments. If someone has stated that they haven't played the entire series, all users are still expected to respect this in their replies. Anyone can make their own choices about how far they dig through a subreddit for a game series, but putting spoilers in their inbox is actively hostile.
"Promotional Cosplay is not allowed". This is our attempt to provide a consistent rule that can be used to filter OF accounts looking for loopholes, while not punishing genuine cosplayers (including professionals) by restricting their activity. There's an element of subjectivity here, but if you think a post is a commercial account, please report it and do not engage in abuse in the comments. Just report it and move on.
AI content is now explicitly banned in all its forms. This was already functionally the case but we're making it clear with it's own rule. If you suspect a post contains AI content, please try to resist posting abuse in the comments and simply report and move on. False allegations can and do happen.
We'd also like to welcome anyone interested to apply to be a moderator. We expect to bring on a couple more people, starting out at a basic clutter removal role. If you think you'd be a good fit, please take some time to fill out our delightful application form.
You'll notice there are a couple of very specific rules that are really covered under other rules. These are for particularly egregious and common posts so that removals are very clear. Previously quite a few things kind of had to fall under "no low effort content" and that gave off the wrong idea and could be a little hurtful.
We'd like to thank the people who take the time to report posts and comments, overall the tone and discernment of reports is very much in-line with how we see the rules and how they are intended to shape the subreddit. This being said, all things considered there are very few removals needed relative to an active subreddit of this size. Things seem to be in a very good balance. I hope the community more or less thinks the same.
As per usual we are open to any and all feedback or discussion about the rules or the way you want the community to be run, so please say your piece in the comments, or if there's any questions you have or unclear rules or edge cases you can think of, bring that up too. The overall intent for the subreddit is still to provide an alternative to what you might see on a Metal Gear Discord, Instagram / TikTok etc. feed or a generic MGS-flavoured meme subreddit.

Occasional posts about general Kojima news are welcome here to a degree, but eventually Physint-specific discussion will not be appropriate.
The linked subreddit appears to be a good fit, so we're posting it here for those whose who aren't sure how to search.

It’s an idea that came to me in a dream. Dante’s Inferno (the first part of the epic poem The Divine Comedy, written by the Florentine poet Dante Alighieri in the 14th century) has nine levels. Which would be a perfect fit for the underground part of Outer Heaven Fortress. Solid Snake would have to make his way through nine levels all the way to the bottom, where Venom Snake would be waiting, depicted in his Demon Snake form. This would tie in thematically with MGSV.

Worth playing it, good metal gear game, often times overlooked, type of game you enjoy more as you play it over again but still a fun and interesting first run.

lol happened only once in that one playthrough and never happened again kek

Snake and the mysterious soldier fight off waves of attackers. The last two throw in grenades before entering. For the first time Snake shows just how fast and strong he is. The soldier panics and runs away in fear.

I dressed up a little while ago as Revolver Ocelot and I got told to send my efforts to the masses. It's kind of a weird in-between when his mgs1 look and his mgs2 look idk Ignore the images being screenshot from my own damn post Its to much work to go into the depths of my photos to find the good ones
I think mainly I need to improve on makeup and like maybe invest in shoulder pads
If you know me no you don't

What an I doing wrong to not counter the charge every time?*
I’ve loaded up the saves from volgin and the boss’ fights to practice since I’d only played the game once before and I wanna go for a foxhound run but I cannot for the life of me understand what I’m doing wrong when volgin charges sometimes. As you can see I know I can counter the charge and try doing that instead of just avoiding him but I do the same thing every time and it only counters some of the time?
Is there a difference in the charges he does? Or am I just missing the window on some of them.
I completely understand this is a non-issue especially with any damage mitigating camo but I was just curious.

Hey guys! I finally brought Raiden to life, it's the first cosplay I've ever done... I hope you like it!
r/metalgearsolid • u/YoungBlueDamsel • 2h ago
Just realised gibbon emblem didn’t unlock from about 5 playthroughs ago lol
Bit confused cause I got this along with the ant emblem which unlocked perfectly fine.
I farmed it between 2 or 3 enemies but I’m certain I did more than 50 hold ups. Do I need to let their arms go all the way back down?
Any idea what I’ve done wrong? Worried it’s bugged out on me lol

Going through the series on Xbox Series X and can't believe they didn't add a Pause option for cutscenes in the Master Collection. The only solution I could find for 'pausing' cutscenes is this.
With Quick Resume Enabled on your console.
Exit to the Xbox dashboard (DON'T Quit the game!)
Quickly load an app like youtube or another game from your dashboard.
Quick Resume will freeze the game exactly where it is until you load it up again and this includes mid cutscene. I figured this out on accident but helped a lot if i had to get off early.
I did notice an audio delay for about 20 seconds but it does resync afterwards.
Not the best solution but it did come in handy. Hope this helps.

I'm at the Emma sniper section in MGS2, going for the Big Boss rank. I saved and checked my stats after dying, and it showed 2 alerts. Are these the mandatory alerts, or did I get detected by guards twice? Is my run still valid?
r/metalgearsolid • u/TheRenegadeProject • 33m ago
Do you think it’s possible that a fan project will reverse engineer the slice mechanic from MGS Rising and add this into other games? Imagine the possibilities of the slice mechanic in other games. Like being able to play as Raiden, with the mechanics in tact, in MGS4. Or given the recent mod projects for MGS One and twin snakes, imagine a playable Grey Fox with the slice mechanic.

In the master collection volume 2 I have none. I think it was "athlete" or something but I swear it was an original skill, I always wanted that one and the channeler to find items.
Did I make this up? Or is it a thing?
r/metalgearsolid • u/BengalFan85 • 7h ago
Hey All,
After finishing Master Collection Vol2 Im getting the itch to play MGS5 again. I got it on PS4 (still got the collectors edition stuff in my old room at my parents house).
But I am considering getting it on Steam so i can play it modded. I have heard three are some great mods to make the game more challenging/change it up quite a bit. I have heard of:
Would love to know if any of you have a "must have" list to for a modded run of MGS5.
r/metalgearsolid • u/Lanky_Relation1171 • 2d ago
Playing on ps4 pro and it’s insane show well it holds up. Some textures might look pixelated and dated but the lighting, photogrammetry and optimization are better than some UE5 games. I’ll be testing the ps3 version too. I would’ve been fine if gaming graphics peaked with this game

I'm not a Solid Snake fan. So i decided to fix that. Last week i finished Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake for the first time. Now I'm playing through Metal Gear Solid 1.
My question is: What Solid Snake would do on Shadow Moses. Allow me to explain.
In MGS3, I'm convinced Jack would kill every soldier without thinking it twice. He is VERY, very patriotic. He would kill for his country with no problem. But this changes not only when he realizes his own country is forcing him to kill his mentor, but also when "fighting" The Sorrow and seeing how many lives has he taken from soldiers that, in a way, were also betrayed and sent to die in a war they didn't asked for.
Returning to David, i had noticed two things different from John.
1) he smokes cigarettes, not cigars.
2) He is a womanizer, and not as timid as John, ironically.
I'll still playing MGS1. I forgot how cool this game was.

I've finally got around to phantom pain. Off to a great start, just did the honey bee mission, not sure how I feel about the online aspects though. There's one really big thing that has been bothering me though (there are others but that's besides the point).
I came into phantom pain knowing about that venom snake isn't big boss and the whole "man who sold the world" thing (although I don't know the full context) and it seems like the story is presenting it as we're meant to believe venom snake is big boss
But are we actually meant to believe that? Big boss didn't have the shrapnel in his head in mgs4 and he seemed like he still had both hands
I'm fairly confident bandage head is big boss (sounds the same) but why is the game trying to hide it if it's that obvious?
Is it just meant to be hiding it from the player because we're playing as venom snake or are we meant to just genuinely believe venom snake is big boss?

Can't check right now, but I hope so.
