Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (Incluye Fix 3.55) ESPAÑOL Descargar PS3: Metal Gear Solid Entire Story Explained. The story of Metal Gear, in its entirety, begins with The Boss. The Boss is a woman who, in her mid-20s, assembled a cooperative special forces unit of american and soviet operatives in WWII that played a significant role in the allied victory (the "Cobra Unit".) Upon the start of the cold war, the Cobras were disbanded as her loyalties remained with the United States. The Boss trained Naked Snake ("John," "Jack," "Big Boss".) for at least a decade after WWII they were partners, and he was her last and perhaps greatest apprentice. They were closer than allies, than friends or family. In the late fifties they parted ways, Snake no longer her fledgling but fully capable as an independent operative. in 1964, in the height of the cold war, The Boss defected to the soviet union, rejoining the Cobras under the ambitions of Colonel Volgin's radicalist unit. There she gave her new hosts a pair of american-made nuclear shells, along with the return of their asylum-seeking weapons development scientist Dr Sokolov (the obligatory scientist-in-distress of MGS3.) Unexpectedly, Volgin used one of these shells to eradicate a soviet development site, removing evidence of his insurrections against the soviet government and Premier Khruschev. Naked Snake, her last disciple, was enlisted to find her and eliminate her along with the growing soviet threat she has enabled. She never expresses to him any purposes behind her defection, only that she is 'loyal to the end.' Only in the end do we understand her purpose. only once snake's mission is complete does he understand. The Boss's defection was, at first, an order. She was to defect to the soviet union, specifically to Volgin's command, as a ruse by the US government. Releases.com - Your guide to Game, TV and Movie Releases. They better not screw up the movie! This story is a mess. I love the first game and story but everything else has been down hill from that. yes now i can understand the story when i play MGS4 thank you!! it's going to be hard to put the MGS saga to fit a 2 hour movie. there's just too much back story to not make it a trilogy. And they say story telling and games dont work! Please, the god known as Hideo Kojima has been weaving the most intricate and amazing stories in video games for a decade now. God I love metal gear. I love the backstory of this series. Metal Gear Solid 4 cannot come out soon enough! however it get bit complicated once you get to the last part (Sons of liberty) if you read it again,then you'll have better understanding. MGS2 was all Genes Vs. MEME aspect and MEME prevailing on the end at least for what Solidus/Raiden believed in. till i looked it up and found. Kuwabara: A chant said to protect yourself from being struck by lightning. *in a rainstorm* "Kuwabara, Kuwabara. " now it makes sense after seeing what volgin usually does. Heh, I remember doing the same thing when MGS3 was released. I found it wierd tho that Volgin said it as he could pretty damn near manipulate the stuff. and he somehow dies of that fear, since the rainstorm did actually turned on him. I thought Volgin died by several hundred (maybe exagerated) Live shell cases straped to his chest exploding? . I need to play 3 again before 4 lands. Volgin died at the end because he mocked the rain: "Who's afraid of a little thunder". Because of mocking it, and not saying "Kuwabara Kuwabara", it turned against him killing him with a bolt of lightning. (And if that wasn't enough, the ammunition wrapped around his body would've done a nice overkill just to make sure of his death). Tip: Press R1 (even if the R1 button doesn't show up on the top of the screen)while Eva shows up and Snake look at each other and you'll see The Sorrow near them both while Volgin fries to death. hmmm The Sorrow didn't seem to be a bad guy after all eh? =P. This actually fills in some gaps and sets the chronological order of the games for me perfectly. I think due to the fact that they jumped around in the timeliness with the games it confuses everyone a bit. This definitely puts everything in it's correct order and really brings the story together. A must read for all Metal Gear Fans. Now I just need to get my hands on the first Metal Gear game. and what a sweet, engaging story it was. *hugs MGS3 manual* Thanks God, I was searching for this on the net. Good to see the whole story explained:P. How ironic. Just two days ago I was looking for a full explanation of the WHOLE STORY for Metal Gear Solid. I tip my hat off to you sir. I appreciate this explanation. *thumbs up* well he has the ending of the twin snakes story all wrong. He probably played the wrong, bad ending. the real ending was snake leaving with Meryl, not Otacon. Otacon stayed behind. I never got that ending, ive only ever seen meryl die, which will be odd for MGS4 to say the least. Damn whoever wrote that has far too much time on their hands. played them all, never understood the storey, but enjoyed the games imensly. pre-ordering MGS4 will get you the DVD explaining the whole story. It's got in-game footage from MGS all the way through MGS Portable Ops. Hell of a story. Is it just for me or does it cut out mid sentance? He references 'The patriots' section but never gets around to it. DAMNIT I WANNA KNOW ABOUT THE PATRIOTS. The Patriots are still pretty much a mystery, MGS4 is going to have to clear that up for you. No no, i mean he references there being a section on the patriots, but it never comes, instead it gets cut off halfway. Near the end he says: "S3, the 'Solid Snake Simulation,' (or 'Selection for Societal Sanity,' see 'THE PATRIOTS' section)" But he never makes a section called that. Am i missing something, because he does end on a semi-colon i wonder if its only half the explination. I was waiting to hear his explanation too, but, I already know about them, so il try and fill you in :) The Patriots are in control of America behind the curtain out of sight from the public, they choose who the Presidents are, and make it seem as if the President is in control of the country and make it seem as though there is a Democracy to keep the public happy. Members of The Patriots may have included, Major Zero, Ocelot and Big Boss. As told at the end of Portable OPS. Although it is said there are 12 members and they've been dead for 100 years, they still remain a mystery (MGS4 shall reveal all!) S3 (Solid Snake Simulation) as you read about was set up by the Patriots and Monitored closely by Ocelot, but the real meaning behind S3 (unknown to Ocelot(the Patriots may have back stabbed him)) means 'Selection For Societal Sanity', This you learn at the end of MGS2. You are told that this is an exercise in which you can turn a Raiden into a Solid Snake, but thats not as deep as it goes, the reason for doing so (Raiden to Snake) is to see whether human beings can be manipulated, more so it was to see if humans could be manipulated by AI, bare in mind Raiden was talking to a fake Colonel Campbell and a fake Rose(it was Arsenal Gears AI,thats why when Emma Emmerich uploaded the virus into Arsenal Gear the Colonel and Rose started being weird) the reason for this test of manipulation was to see if human beings are more capable of making decisions than AI. You may recall from MGS2 the AI of Campbell and Rose going on about 'They're not trying to control content, but to create context' (the first part of that 'not controlling content' is a straight up lie from the Patriots,(the Patriots want to sypher the internet deleting any trace of themselves) What they mean by 'create context' is basically to decide what information is significant enough to pass on in human history whilst deleting whatever information is not (especially info on themselves, you must understand that the last thing The Patriots want is for the public to know of their existence and realize that they are all just slaves living under The Patriots rule) and to test whether or not a human has the ability to make choices for themselves in order to decide what information is important enough to pass on.

After a short while every country and global company had their little pet Metal Gear that is capable of launching a nuclear strike anywhere on the planet. Knowing that having tons of Metal Gears running along the planet is a very dangerous situation, the United States Marines secretly began to develop their own Metal Gear. They developed one that will be able to take down and destroy any Metal Gear Rex that it needs to. Code-named "Metal Gear Ray" the impressive new weapon is able to fire off a plasma blast as well as swim underwater. This is where Solid Snake returns to the scene. After escaping the Alaskan base with Otacon, the two have become members of the secret anti-Metal Gear society known as "Philanthropy". Snake's new job is to investigate this new prototype, which apparently is on the way to New York.

  • Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots ======
    Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots ==================== Game Title: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Platform: Playstation 3 Genre: Stealth-Action Release Date: June 12, 2008 Developer: Kojima Productions Publisher: Konami Director: Hideo Kojima By: Ben Johnson Overview The main character of the Metal Gear series, Solid Snake, now an old man, is called out of retirement by his former compatriots to stop his twin, Liquid Snake, from taking control of the worlds military. Despite his deteriorating condition, Solid Snake returns to action because everyone knows he is the only person who can get close to his twin. Snake proceeds to follow Liquid half way around the world, along the way meeting allies and uncovering the master plan of Liquid and learning of the origin of himself and his brother, their parents, and the Patriots, who seemingly control everything from world economy to the emotions of soldiers and control of every bullet fired. It is this power that Liquid is after. Snake, along with his allies Otacon, Meryl Silverburgh, and Raiden, stop at nothing to capture Liquid and save the world, including the ultimate act of self-sacrifice: death. A major theme in this game is self-sacrifice, which is displayed in the journey of the characters and the characters themselves. For example, when the game starts Snake looks to be in his 60s and is rapidly dying due to a disease, and yet he strikes out on one last mission in which he and his allies know full well there is no return. As well, at several points Snake must literally walk through fire, a symbol of what this mission really is: atonement for his brother’s actions and his own refusal to sacrifice for others throughout his entire life.

  • A Rhetorical Analysis of the “Metal Gear Solid” Saga
    IX “Building the Future and Keeping the Past Alive Are One and the Same Thing”—A Rhetorical Analysis of the “Metal Gear Solid” Saga Sven Dwulecki One Game to Awe Them All War has changed. It’s no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It’s an endless series of proxy battles fought by mercenaries and machines. War—and its consumption of life—has become a well- oiled machine. War has changed. ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nano-machines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control, information control, emotion control, battlefield control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. War has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control. All in the name of averting catastrophe wrought by weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield controls history. War has changed. When the battlefield is under total control war becomes routine (Globalgamereport 2008: 1:24-3:00). This introductory monologue leaves no doubt that the world of Metal Gear Solid has taken a turn for the worst in its last instalment. As we take a closer look at this opening scene, we see how a game exposition may serve as a forward glimpse of upcoming dystopian events; we also remark the highly rhetorical character of the game. The monologue describes how the entire world became one giant war theatre while structuring its content deliberately through the tagline “war has changed”. Par- allelisms and epistrophes emphasize the importance of structural changes in society. At first glance the visual layer seemingly contradicts the narrator, as pictures of a “building the future and keeping the past alive…” 149 convoy in a Middle Eastern environment draw comparisons to the Afghanistan or Iraq conflicts yet both levels reinforce each other in order to create a strong connec- tion between contemporary society and potential dystopian outcomes in a nearby future.

  • Metal Gear Solid 4
    1 CHAPTER TEN METAL GEAR SOLID Metal Gear Solid 4 In this chapter, I analyze Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (hereafter “MGS4”). I use some of the tools developed earlier. I will argue that in some respects MSG4 is a virtual tutorial on what it means to play video games and what sort of conversations they can set up. It will be clear from this analysis that a discourse analysis analyzes language/worlds/games “in use”, that is, as we humans use them in real contexts. We study how aspects of a game’s design afford a certain sort of interactive conversation given a specific player’s desires, values, and skills. Story in MGS4 Seth Schiesel, lead video game writer for the New York Times, had this to say about Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: I play games because of the freedom they afford. In contrast to a book or a film or a theater performance, a game lets me decide what happens next, or at least lets me operate under the illusion that my actions matter …. Metal Gear Solid 4 is not like that. Instead it is a linear narrative by the Japanese designer Hideo Kojima. 2 You, the player, are along for the ride. M.G.S. 4 is Mr. Kojima’s world, and you are just passing through for the moment while he tells you where to go next, what to do and more or less how to do it. Seth is a lot younger than I am and he does, indeed, know his game stuff.

I explore their place in the gaming industry in order to formulate an idea of how the concept came to be, how they are created, how the concept has evolved, and how I can implement them into my future games. I’ve separated my thesis into five chapters, barring the introduction and conclusion. The first is a timeline of boss battles that have influenced the video game market and introduced new concepts. This chapter encapsulates the first boss ever in 1975 up to the late ‘90s and early 2000s.

External Examiner Dr. Todd Harper Assistant Professor Supervisor(s) Dr. Neil Randall Associate Professor Internal Member Dr. Aimée Morrison Associate Professor Internal-external Member Dr. Shana MacDonald Assistant Professor Other Member(s) Dr. Jennifer R.

This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract This dissertation uses intersectional feminist theory and Autoethnography to develop the concept of “cultural inaccessibility”. Cultural inaccessibility is a concept I’ve created to describe the ways that women are made to feel unwelcome in spaces of game play and games culture, both offline and online. Although there are few formal barriers preventing women from purchasing games, playing games, or acquiring jobs in the games industry, this dissertation explores the formidable cultural barriers which define women as “space invaders” and outsiders in games culture. Women are routinely subjected to gendered harassment while playing games, and in physical spaces of games culture, such as conventions, stores, and tournaments.
