well i guess that clears things up, so the annoying girlfriend of his is not real? O.Oshe's real(and pregnant), the AI was using her to get Raiden motivated, which would be hard if he had never met her before in real life.
hmmmm :fogetmmh:
I actually loved those codec moments. Theres some interesting stories the colonel tells, and I believe, you can also see Mei Ling from MGS1 in a dancing vid, and also, a video of MG MSX version can also be seen :D

Way to be complete jerks. Just because somebody doesn't get something (or a lot of things), you don't have to use it to blow your load.Hideo Kojima is serious business.
Look at post #5 and ignore the rest of this topic, darkjak.
uh, hideo kojima gave konami instructions to make two slightly different copies of the game: one with the codec glitches and one without. The one without actually has a different ending. what's less known is that you can actually tell what copy you're getting from the barcode number of your game. If it's odd you have the glitched copy, if it's even, you've got the alternate ending.
admittedly, the alternate ones are harder to find. they don't really have any marks distinguishing them from the normal copies, but since the ending of the game was completely different, konami had to register a separate ISBN. If you really want to see the alternate ending, buy or rent one with an even ISBN number.
If it was me continuing to post shit after an admin said to stop, I'd get warned so fast.
Big Shell isn't real. It's a simulation designed to collect data in order to create the perfect super soldier (the genome soldier project failed because of the rapid aging process which is why the Snake bros are so fucking old looking). Raiden is the test subject. Big Shell was designed after Shadow Moses. The main group of badguys represents FOXHOUND. The entire thing was a setup from the beginning.
Dude, that turned out to be fake, remember? The real purpose of Big Shell was a hiding place for Arsenal Gear, IIRC.You know that if you read just ONE more line of Marcus's post, he actually said exactly that.

I thought that with set-up, he meant the actual things happening on Big Shell, not the Solid Snake Training thing.You were talking about the purpose of Big Shell in what I quoted.
EDIT: I really can't find anything in his post that tells us that S3, as Ocelot explains it, was a set-up by itself.
hey can someone please turn this into a saga i can claim to have been a part of a little ways down the road
i just flicked on my copy of MGS2 and decided to check in with coloneltalk about being a wiseass... honestly its odvious you ms painted that so called ''scan'' someone show him the REAL skull general codec pic, please -.-(http://www.gamingw.net/pubaccess/32812/ps2_mgs2_2001_intercom.jpg)

...i...i think it's too late for me.
i was much more confused as to how his gf got his number and why she kept phoning him about "hey remember how we met...." shit, also when i first played the game i really thought raiden was gay furthering confusion with the gf thing
Damn awesome. How comes everything in Metal Gear always turns out to be a setup or some kind of shit like that?
talk about being a wiseass... honestly its odvious you ms painted that so called ''scan'' someone show him the REAL skull general codec pic, please -.-
you're rpegnant
You were talking about the purpose of Big Shell in what I quoted.
In the second paragraph, Marcus says "Big Shell itself is actually Metal Gear Arsenal, the super computer through which the rogue AI (the patriots) run the world."
You do know that MGS2 was made and written with the purpose of mocking gamers (and the ridiculousness of games themselves and as a medium) as it's main point?
Like the main point of the game was TO BE A JERK TO PEOPLE, by mocking the Solid Snake cult. Snake's butt has more polygons than any other character. Snake was in screenshots and then replaced with Raiden to poke at the hero worship Snake has. Raiden himself was made to be the antithesis of Snake, to further provoke people's awesomely oblivious reactions. The bosses are beyond terrible and cheesy to show how bad game bosses really are (for example that invincible woman was an attack on games where characters were invincible and can't be damaged until their point to die in the story), likewise the plot pokes at the ridiculousness of VG plots, the cardboard box is an absurdity and totally surreal. The game is praised on being a realistic espionage game... yet it's completely ridiculous and so deliberately over the top, to laugh at the kind of people (or "idiots" as they are commonly known) who actually believe it is a realistic espinage game (... such as many game critics such as the guys over at GamesMaster)
Man I can't believe I posted something serious in this topic :(
dude, hideo kojimia is responsible for this game. there is no way he pulled something like that off when he is pretty much the stereotypical nerdy japanese game developer
