I was like writing down plotpoints for this game but I forgot to do it for the first act so like uhh from what I remember Liquid is spotted in the middle east so Campell takes Snake who has aged like 70 years in 2 out of retirement so he can beat some ass. Wars become a well oiled machine and there's a guy with a monkey in a diaper who follows you around the whole game (Drebin is awesome). Anyways enjoy the notes I wrote for this game because I didn't feel like writing a real review
Liquid is chilling in South Africa, he wants to break free of the patriots control, and has control of most of the major PMCS. The patriots want to take over the nanomachines in the soldiers because this will allow them to control the war economy, and basically continue controlling the peace and information flow of the world. The soldiers have basically become a well oiled machine. Their nanomachines control their emotions and abilities basically making them combat vets over night. It also controls what weapons they can fire. So basically Patriots control the nano machines which controls the soldiers and that controls war which controls the peace equilibrium. Anyhow the current mission is to save Naomi from Liquid’s base in South Africa. If you hack into the Patriots AI SOP you get a safe haven where you can hide from them which is what Liquid is aiming for. Turns out the Patriots already basically control the war economy all that’s left is retaking information control. The SOP controls emotions and sense, so when Naomi deactivated them all the soldiers were hit with guilt and grief so immense they started to lose it. Also turns out Snake was born with a limited lifespan in mind. They didn’t want the clones of Big Boss to be used by the enemy so the clones were born with excelled aging. His lifespan is further decreased by the foxdie inside him which is mutating to become an airborne disease that kills anyone. He has 3 months to live. On another note Liquid wants to take over the SOP so he can rebel against the patriots. Finally Snake does rescue Naomi and that’s that. Next Snake meets up with Big Mama in Europe, she’s Eva from MGS 3 and is technically Snake and Liquid’s mom. She has big boss’ body and Liquid has been gunning for it cause he needs BB’s biological data to infiltrate the Patriot’s AI. After a chase sequence and a whole lot of trolling Eva dies, Johnny Sasaki makes out with Meryl, and Liquid gets the corpse. Next up he wants to fire a nuke, and he needs to pump the shit out of the MGS 1 fan service machine in order to do it. He goes back to Shadow Moses in search of Metal Gear Rex’s railgun. This lets him bypass the patriot’s system cause they got a lot of like walls and security you gotta bypass if you want to drop a nuke and Liquid ain’t having any of it. Anyhow after like an hour or 2 of fan service Snake kills Vamp, and then Naomi says she has cancer and that she’s like Vamp in the sense she’s a walking corpse only kept alive by nanomachines so she decides to kill herself then and there. Poor Otacon huh? Every woman he’s close to dies tragically while he can only watch. After Otacon stops being depressed Snake and the BOYS (Raiden is there) hop onto Rex and start gunning mfs down while escaping Shadow Moses. The act ends with Snake fighting Liquid in a battle of Rex vs Ray, which is raw as hell and probably the peak of the game. I mean idk at the time of writing this I haven’t seen act 5. Liquid escapes to a ship while being the world’s biggest dickhead and like I gotta say he is the best villain in all of Metal Gear. Yeah sure Armstrong is cool but Liquid is such a shitposter in anyway or form he shows up in this series you gotta love him. Anyhow since Snake is like having a panic attack really close to the boat Liquid tries to run his ass over with his boat, and Raiden just stops this shit? He cuts off his arm moments prior and then just brings this giant ass floating bunker to a standstill??? Raiden the fucking goat how did anyone ever hate this man. Snake needs to infiltrate Liquid’s little bunker and has to go through a microwave hallway, there’s a few bumps in his way but he makes it to the G.W control room thing and Otacon uploads a virus called Foxalive into it, this was made by Naomi to destroy the entire AI network and as a video plays of her last words she tells Otacon he made her feel joy. After the AI shits itself Snake fistfights Liquid at the top of Outer Haven. This fight is amazing it takes you through every mgs game and the fight finally ends with MGS 4, Old Snake is playing in the background as you lay the final hits on Liquid. Ocelot regains control of himself as he dies and hits you with the last “You’re pretty good” of the series. Oh also there’s a wedding between Johnny and Meryl but I don’t care honestly.
