I think it's safe to say if you don't tear up at this ending than you were never a real MGS fan to begin with.
>That speech
>The amazing music accompanying it
>That salute
>That part where Snake hands him the cigar

It was hard to cry after listening to the absolute retarded dribble about "Zero returning to zero" or whatever the fuck he talks about
>>377545507
Well, I cried on play tutorial again in mgs5.
Kojima is a genius.
>>377545618
This. Fuck big boss showing up at the end of MGS4
>>377545507
No.
I'm a big MGS fan and found this game (not just the ending) retarded. Didn't blow my mind like the previous three games did. Only underage and edgyfags think this was a good conclussion to the story
best MGS
>>377545507
Otacon's "snake had a hard life" line is much more sad, especially on a first playthrough
>>377546028
Yes after mgs2 and 1
>>377546130
This. If it had ended there, it would have left a better impression on me.
>>377546028
name ONE thing it did better than any other entry
sure, crouch walk, camera, gun porn, ok, but it's just so...meh. MGS is known for super unique shit that blows your mind. MGS4 was disappointing

Did Raiden have the hardest life?
>Was a child soldier
>Tried his best to get away to forget his past
>Abusive girlfriend won't leave him alone
>People say you're a fag online for years
>Your creator makes a video making fun of you
>Meets the man who killed your parents and made you live a life of war
>People online say he's the good guy
>Girlfriend was working with a secret organization that controlled your life
>Game ends think you're gonna get a happy end to go with it
>Nope
>Body gets destroyed
>Have to live though a machine
>Wife takes kid and tricks you into thinking it's dead and that she cheated on you
>Realize you're entire life has been a joke
>Spend life on the run
>People online call you an emo fag
>Game ends
>Think you're gonna get a happy ending
>Nope
>Go back to being a mercenary
>Get your arm cut off by some dude
>Have to fight a super powered president who has all of America on his side
>Start to wonder what you're even fighting for
>Think you're gonna get a happy ending this time
>Nope
>Go back to being Jack the ripper the past you wanted to escape
>>377546307
Online and boobs.

I laughed at the blatant shoehorning of Big Boss. That whole scene was so unnecessary it was unironically funny.
You could really tell that Kojima didnt give a fuck about the game.
Pic related. Even 9gag saw through the bullshit
I used to think people were exaggerating when talked about the lenght of the cutscenes... until I played it. My god.
It's like they didn't want this game to be played at all except for boss battles and the ocassional stealth segment (where you just have to use the flanks without worrying too much anyway)
>>377545507
The speech was OK until the retarded pseudo math bit.
>zero becomes one, one becomes one hundred blah blah blah delet zero
>>377546719
It held world records for longest cutscene(s) on release. Not sure if it's been beaten yet
>>377546719
>ocassional stealth segment (where you just have to use the flanks without worrying too much anyway)
So much this
I don't remember using CQC more than 2 or 3 times for the entire game. The level design was crap and it made the game piss easy
>>377545507
And the part where they rape the MGS3 codec team, the Patriots and MGS2.
If being a MGS fan means eating this shit up, i'm proud to not be one.
Glad this franchise is dead.
>>377546372
I can't wait for Rising 2
>>377545507
Shut the fuck up, nigger. This was the worst fanservice bullshit ending that just went on and on trying to explain away every minute plot inconsistency in this shittily written game so it could have one final masturbatory fanservice scene with Snake and BB for absolutely no God Damned reason. Any """real MGS fan""" knows it's shit.
