The actual execution was a mess, but Skullface’s inspiration for his parasite weapon being the experience of linguistic imperialism as a child was a really novel premise. The idea that he would get his revenge by creating a weapon that killed anyone who spoke English is some cool super-villain shit I don’t think I’ve ever encountered before. “Race-selective” weapons, genetic-targetting weapons, religious indoctrination viruses, I’ve seen all those, but I think MGSV is the only time I’ve encountered a weapon that targets a language community.
how do you know he didn’t but he’s constrained by the capital requirements necessary to finance his games into always toning things down into wacky lib shit
could a person so consistently nearly hit the mark if they didn’t really know what they were aiming for??
Kojima consistently hits near the mark but is given way more credit than due. He has a few cool concepts and accidently came up with post modernism a second time but he’s fucking stupid as hell in most ways. Pretty sure if he’d read Lennin he’d have a less cartoonist view of the cold war than he exemplified. A brief look at mgs3, peace walker and 5 shows he had a massively lib brained view of the world and complete and utter historical illiteracy. He is I Am 14 And This Is Deep embodied.
