[@NPC_GENERIC_ENEMY_INFANTRY]

@@HistoryandReviews Gotta admit though, I'd take 'essentially' over anyone overusing 'literally'. Never was bothered by the word essentially, then again, I don't exactly hang around very many people that use it.

[@aki-rw9vu]

@@HistoryandReviews Is it gramitacally correct? Yes. Was it unnecessary? No.

[@videogamerNattie98]

@@NPC_GENERIC_ENEMY_INFANTRY Id use "essentially" because while you can accidentally make a statement/point more verbose then where you started in some use cases, it is still grammatically correct. The problem with "literally" is it being grammatically incorrect in using it as a stand in for the word "figuratively" which actually caused "literally" to gain a new definition by Marriam Webster. ("Literally" and its new definition - : in effect : VIRTUALLY -used in an exaggerated way to emphasize a statement or description that is not literally true or possible.) Which irks the crap out off me because that's what "figuratively" means not "literally" but is accepted as a variable definition due to rampant misuse of the word...

[@HelghastTrooper]

Everything about him is like a perfect antithesis for his father. Huey sought to make the next big superweapon that would get him remembered, stealing the research and credit of his fellow scientists to make up for his own failings, and ultimately he failed to do so regardless. Hal sought to make a defensive weapon that would serve as the perfect countermeasure against the threat of nuclear annihilation without much care for credit, and instead was duped into making the next big, perhaps even perfect superweapon, all almost solely based on his own genius. Huey was a weasel, always attempting to worm his way out of a problem he created, always willing to lie and throw blame on others instead of taking responsibility... and he's a vengeful, spiteful bastard, having torturously murdered his own wife with his own hands after she rescued their _own son_ from being used as a test subject in the trial runs of his creations. Hal, by comparison, would be the first to admit an error and strive with every fiber of his being to correct it, not to mention being an exceedingly forgiving soul who wishes ill on nobody, even those who have wronged him immensely. Huey didn't care about the potentially unparalleled devastation his weaponry would cause, or who he was servicing such devices to; only that he would be credited for their creations in the history books. Hal is currently one of the greatest living champions of The Boss' ideals for pursuing a lasting world peace through peaceful methods. Huey is a virgin. Hal is a CHAD.

True. The best scene that showcases their friendship is the aftermath of Emma death in MGS2, when Otacon was trying to not break from grief and Snake just tries to conform him in his own way. He doesn't say anything special but encourages Otacon as someone(and only one) capable of saving the civilians. That, and their salute. Sold.

[@ubermenschmexa]

[@daltongarrett3393]

I prefer to see it as more about the metanarrative of Kojima being forced to keep iterating on a series he wanted to end long before, so he just jumped to the inevitable end point of that dead horse being beaten to a loose pulp, and filling it with self loathing commentary on the state of the series, sort of like the rebuilds of Evangelion.

[@droganovic6879]

When i first came across Otacon i must've been around 10 years old. The first impressions he left on me weren't the best, what with him peeing himself at the sight of Gray Fox and actively *not helping* during the Sniper Wolf fight. But he pulls through, and proves himself to be a really good friend and person before the first game is even finished. By the time MGS2 came out i had rerun the tanker missions countless times. Just Snake and Otacon running around a boat taking stupid pictures and shooting the shit. Playing through Big Shell gave us an even more interesting view of Hal. In MGS1 and the tanker part he was *your* best friend. But in Big Shell he was your _buddy/acquaintence/mentor's_ best friend and you're just looking in MGS3 was lonely without him. The support crew was good but Otacon is your homie! Mgs4 was a _glorious_ return to the bromance of a lifetime. But the "supplementary" games.... Portable Ops, Peace Walker, Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain... I was so happy to see Huey when i didn't know any better, i thought Otacon's dad would be to Naked/Venom what Hal was to Dave, but *gaht daym if i wasn't wrong about that* The _only_ reason i didn't murk that little bitch of a Huey was because the time paradox would alive'n't Otacon and that would be too big a price to pay. Otacon is proof we're all gonna make it tho. As long as you got that one good friend, you can take on anything. So here's to Hal, one of gaming's biggest bros!

[@NightSkyNyx]

Couldn’t have said it better myself. We can also see the effects of his great parenting through Sunny in Rising Revengeance. The cherry on top is through his cameo (Idk what you’d actually call it since he’s only mentioned and doesn’t physically appear) in one of Sunny’s codecs with Raiden, in which we learns he is a giga chad (well, even more than he already was) but also just how much he cared for Solid Snake as a friend after he was gone (since if I recall, Rising takes place 4 years after MGS4, meaning Snake is unfortunately more than likely dead)

[@remigiusznowak7277]

Metal Gear Solid is not first game in the series. It was Metal Gear from 1987

[@victorsrur134]

Hal is my favorite character in metal gear series, because he is a human, with flaws, traumas and positive aspects He's not perfect, far from that, considering he suffered a lot of traumas, his mother (strangelove) death in early age, Huey',s suicide, his sister almost died drowning while he was being sexually abused by his stepmother, later when he engaged with someone, they've died tragically (Naomi and sniper wolf). And became a genius engineer/programmer graduated from MIT, build several technologies and helped his best friend save the world multiples times, he's a hero in his way, a uber nerd/otaku way, not by doing CQC and shooting guns, just by helping people with his intelligence

[@brandonperkins176]

Dark. Otacon definitely been through in his life and shaped him to be a better man, thanks to Solid Snake having an impact on him

Nah I’m pretty sure it was mentioned that Hal’s grandfather was devastated when the Manhattan project (the nuke) blew up Hiroshima and Nagasaki, so I don’t think his grandfather was that much of a douche. Though, he did raise Huey so I’m not entirely certain….

Because of MGS4 & 5, there are two aspects about his character that have very mixed feelings about: 1) Ocelot's brotherly admiration/hero worship of Big Boss. 2) The relevancy/irrelevancy of being the son of The Boss. The latter is a strange open secret that is never directly stated/acknowledged in universe and I can't reconcile if it's meant to be important to Ocelot's role throughout the MGS history... if that makes any sense.
