I'm back at it again with poorly recapping Metal Gear Solid plots baby.
So basically you play as this guy with the code name Naked Snake (he's Big Boss but before he became Big Boss) and you gotta go rescue this guy named Sokolov. Sokolov here being one of the biggest ops in gaming decided creating basically a prototype metal gear would be AWESOME. It's called the Shagohod. After rescuing Sokolov, Snake decides to teach Ocelot the basics of cqc by beating his ass so hard Ocelot became big boss sexual. After that brief encounter we run into the Boss (Snake's mentor) who defected to the Soviet Union and brought a few nuclear war heads with her. Then the Boss throws Snake off a bridge and nukes the abandoned factory Snake rescued Sokolov from. I should mention that this game is a prequel set in the 60s before it's too late.
Might as well introduce the cast now.
We got Naked Snake: He's Big Boss yo
The Boss: Defected from the US and is Snake's Mentor
Major Zero: The founder of Fox and the CO for Operation Snake Eater
Sigint: He's a cool dude who's a weapons expert
Para-Medic: She's a movie geek who wants to create a unit of paratrooping medics, she may also have an interest in human cloning (definitely not important later)
Eva: She defected from the US to the Soviet Union allegedly, Definitely not a chinese spy
The Villains:
The Pain: BEEEEES
The End: Sleepy old man
The Fury: SPACE
The Fear: Idk this guy is just fucked up
The Sorrow: Bro is DEAD, Also Ocelot's dad and The Boss' lover
Anyways Snake has to commence Operation Snake Eater after a week due to him having to recover from his bridge falling related injuries that he survived from because he's BIG BOSS BITCH. Snake Eater tasks Snake with rescuing Sokolov and killing the Boss. Anyways for most of the game it's just heartwarming moments between Eva and Snake and the occasional fight against the looney tunes esc cast of villains I listed earlier. Trust me, ladders are climbed and snakes are munched on.
Eventually after Snake infiltrates a Soviet base by pretending to be a Russian Colonel or whatever Sokolov dies and he's found out by Volgin, I forgot to mention him but he's like the big bad of the game. He also has electricity powers. Snake gets tortured and his eye is shot out (tragic). After escaping the base and getting a cool eyepatch and shit, Eva is like "Snake you gotta blow up the shagohod" and Snake's like "Bet"
Snake sneaks back into the base and plants c3 all over the place. After he's done doing that, Volgin shows up and rants about the philospher's legacy iirc. Basically it's a shit ton of money hidden by the Wisemen's committee, which is divided up into 3 sections. A US segment, Russian segment, and Chinese segment. Snake then fights Volgin before the base blows up, Ocelot also tells Volgin to stop being a pussy ass bitch, Snake beats the shit out of Volgin and escapes on an awesome motorcycle chase segment with Volgin chasing in the shagohod. After blowing up the Shagohod and Volgin like 17 times (seriously that man REFUSES to die) Volgin is finally defeated.
After the Volgin fight it's a boring escort mission with Eva who has the munchies and will probably eat every single piece of food you can get your hands on.
Naked Snake now has to complete operation Snake Eater by fighting the Boss in a very awesome and emotional heavy boss fight against her, idk you just have to be there. Ocelot and Snake then have a heart to heart while Snake tries to escape. Ocelot's name is Adamska, and Snake's name is John.
After Eva hits Snake with a one night stand she hits him with a lore dump. The Boss never defected from the US and was instead tasked as a scapegoat which would go down in history not as a dedicated WW2 veteran but as a terrorist, and that Eva was actually a spy for the Chinese wiseman committee and she just stole the philosopher's legacy piece Snake had. Just kidding due to a post credits scene Ocelot reveals he's been working for the CIA the entire time and planted a fake legacy piece on Snake KNOWING Eva would steal it and give it to the Chinese wiseman's committee. Ocelot's just cracked like that.
Naked Snake is finally given the title of Big Boss for perfectly executing his mission of killing the boss, he leaves his ceremony without a word and salutes the Boss' grave as the game comes to a close.
I skipped over a lot in this game, so if you decided to read a summary of the story without playing the game for some reason, Play it , the game is literally cracked and is peak. Also the US wiseman committee later went on to become the Patriots so that's cool. ALSO THERE'S LIKE A FULL ON LIKE 6 MINUTE CLIP OF RAIDEN GETTING HIS SHIT BEATEN OUT OF HIM IN THIS GAME, NOT TO MENTION THE RAIDEN LOOK ALIKE YOU BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF, RAIDEN NEVER DESERVED THIS DISRESPECT WHAT THE HELL.
