Cardboard box fast travel is definitely one of the cooler things IMO. It isn't explained to you, but the visual clues are all there - each part of the Big Shell conveyor belt has a different box for each location. I think something that may have been missed out, is that when enemies are doing a clearing they are less suspicious if you are wearing a cardboard box that is the same as other boxes in the same area. If you are wearing an out-of-place box that doesn't match the ones in the room, they might shoot at it. That was how I interpreted my experience, at least. Maybe it was just coincidence.

[@liquidalumina7141]

Nope, that's actually how it works, I think ever since they introduced different cardboard boxes

The nostalgia from this brought up so many good memories as a kid. The gaming industry needs to go back to this style of detail and care for a title.

This level of detail might bankrupt some companies these days though…Though maybe more linear games like these would help save money instead of trying the same thing with all the open world games they make.

[@seva7500]

@@Shiratto yeah as a kid I never realized how expensive it is to make games.

[@Shiratto]

@@Maximus20778 I do believe that profit can still be made without the need for scummy micro transactions. As mentioned I think that instead of always doing those massive open worlds we could aim for more linear games like this (as in decent little zones instead of just hallways from beginning to end) so that the work that usually goes into just making the map bigger could go into making smaller zones better and more detail rich. And instead of always going for the most cutting edge photorealistic graphics maybe something more stylized would help with costs and also keep the game from getting too dated looking for longer.

Requesting backup uni-” punch them last second, and have them rinse and repeat it(they will kick you for annoying them, though). This thing is actually also something a lot of players did back then, and that's why Raikov in MGS3 was known for getting away with “Punching guards”.

the amount of easter eggs and codec conversations in this game.... kojima is a genius.

[@Firguy]

Tomokazu Fukushima is a genius, Kojima is really a pretentious idiot who takes credit for Fukushima's brilliance but has the saving grace of having a microscopic attention to detail (unless he takes the credit for that too). This is why Metal Gear Solid 4 is a dumpster fire of lore rape that undermines and contradicts Para-Medic's and Psycho Mantis' characters and story arcs, why the Beauty and the Beast squadron have their backstories front-loaded *after* you kill them, and why Liquid Ocelot has a secret base that is a pastiche of Mt. Rushmore.

Nah. His excuse for quiet not talking and looking like an idiot was she was turned into a plant person... by bugs... because she was burned alive and jumped from a window... And the bugs that healed her would kill everyone if she spoke...

He is no better than a horny teenage fanfiction writer. Disclaimer: I generally enjoy the games, they just have horrible writing.

You can definitely hear in that one line that she also voices Mandie from Totally Spies. It actually makes a lot of sense for the voice actor to slip into another role like that, too, since the release dates for both are so close together that for all I know, the VA might have been recording for both in the same time period.
