He was in the Army special forces, right? Was that a *standard* military haircut for the Army when he began serving in the 1950s, or did they just start allowing that in the 1960s when Snake Eater takes place? I mean just how stupid do they think we are that we're going to just look past that?!

this game has people with superpowers and you are upset about a haircut deviation from real life
i think you dont actually care
>super soldiers with bizarre powers
>homosexual lightning man
>the world's most legendary soldier is a woman
But OP has a problem with a mullet.
>>the world's most legendary soldier is a woman
she was part of a team of super powered people anon
>gives birth on the battlefield
heh
Don't forget the human that does photosynthesis
Don't forget that she's not just a woman as the most legendary United States soldier ever in the midst of the Cold War era, but she was pregnant on the shores of the D-Day invasion in Normandy. The Boss is the most hilariously mary sue nonsense of doctrine and historical wank and people ignored it for years.
Can't really be a mary sue and get shot in the face in your first game can you
But you admit it that it's bullshit, right?
Yeah I suppose so.
"You admit its bullshit if you believe the game is trying to adhere to military standards of real life and cares about realism to a significant degree"
no actually I dont find this to be bullshit in the game where you, a lone soldier on a death mission, single handedly dismantle a military force chock full of people with superpowers by using a tranq gun and melee combat. its not trying to be a representation of a realistic military conventions
It's alt history so you can't say
>umm this didn't happen
The Boss is the mother of special forces in MGS, maybe she liked mullets unlike the miserable c**t who founded special forces in real life
you said it yourself, he WAS, not IS, so there is no reason for him to have a drone buzzcut.
so no.
During the events of Snake Eater he's still a member of the Army Special Forces, so of course he should still have to adhere to official military regulations
Regulars have a very tight hairstyle enforced, special forces dudes like Green Berets can be a bit more lax (but still need to be sharp in general).
However, a lot of times, longer hair and beards are even encouraged if they are contingent on the mission. Like those operator operators in the middle east a decade ago going around with full beards because beards are favored in the local culture to the point they looked down on clean shaven men.
Okay sure TODAY, but in the 1950's and 60's? Do they really expect us to play this game set in the Mad Men era and really buy that he would be allowed in the military with that kind of hair? Give me a break. What a joke. Completely unrealistic
Does it really matter if it's bullshit or not? Going by that logic, everyone should have had buzzcuts during the events of mgs3 except for Eva and imagine the fricking Boss with a buzzcut, she'd look ugly as hell.
Ganker is the same board crying about unrealistic rolling in armor is in the souls games. The series with magic, demi gods, dragons, giants, and all sorts of other shit. Rolling in armor? Too far.
Its called physics u moron
Rolling in armor isn't even unrealistic. There's plenty of evidence of armor allowing for high mobility.
People complain about not being able to swim in Souls games even though that knight's armor would definitely have you sink like a stone
Well Kojima was gonna get sued until the director of Escape from New York met up with him and said Kojima is a good guy
>what do you mean that a game obeys the rules it sets for itself?
>IT LITERALLY HAS MAGIC, NOTHING IN THE UNIVERSE SHOULD MAKE SENSE THEN
This argument is so fricking piss poor, and you dumbasses don't even realize it.
SUPERCONDUCTORS EXIST AND YOU'RE EATING BOILED BEEF AND POTATOS!!>!>!
the superconductors boil the water
To be fair, this character in this game delivered the line about engravings providing no tactical advantage on the battlefield
he's supposed to be part of a military that has strict grooming standards, stop pretending you don't know how suspension of disbelief works
>strict grooming standards
He's in theater you dipshit
are you suggesting he grew that mullet and beard on the plane ride to the.. russian tropical jungle
dont look up how the special forces guys that rode into afghanistan on horses looked or you might lose your mind
>different skin pigmentation is equally as unbelievable as future tech
Africa obviously doesn't exist in fantasy worlds but neither does EVROPA you mongoloid. Elves are usually similar to humans but are sometimes depicted with paler skin or other distunguishing skin features. So what makes a nig so unbelievable?
Black folk living in some place down south where the sunlight is stronger is perfectly believable, a fantasy medieval kingdom having demographics indistinguishable from san francisco is not
Nta but fantasy as a genre usually takes traditional folklore from ancient times as its base inspiration. In those times all the different societies were extremely homogenic and monolithic. So it is extremely improbable to think that the characters from the ancient legends and tales were created in the image of people of other races. Unless of course they were specifically depcited as such.
But not only that. It is also extremely unaesthetic if not just plain ugly. People of different races adopting ancient customs, attire from different races look out of place, ugly and even silly. The final rpoduct always ends up as a low quality mockery of an actual adaptation.
immersion ruined
Give me 5 reasons why his goddamn haircut matters and I'll stop laughing at you
snake has a mullet because kojoma watched escape from new york and thought plissken’s hair looked cool.
>snake has a mullet because kojoma watched escape from new york and thought plissken’s hair looked cool.
Just that moron? That hack literally stole the plot
>stole the plot
The presidents plane crashes in a city which has been turned into a giant prison and needs to be rescued from the prisoners?
Except he already had a mullet in the Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and he cuts it off before MGS1 starts which is the game that stole Escape From New York's plot
MGS1 is about the president crashing in a city turned prison and needs rescuing from the prisoners?
It didn't steal the general concept but if you actually played the game and watched the movie you'll notice there are a LOT of similarities. Lots of similar plot details, the atmosphere and music is very carpenteresque, and of course Snake himself. There is a reason Kojima almost got sued over it, only for Carpenter himself to tell them to knock it off because he like Kojima.
Of course there's a decent amount of Rambo thrown in there as well.
Pretty sure he wasn't in the military anymore, he's just a contractor who was training special forces and doing operations with them.
>Was that a *standard* military haircut for the Army when he began serving in the 1950s, or did they just start allowing that in the 1960s when Snake Eater takes place?
Do you think he was in garrison? You think ANYONE in theater adheres to AR-670-1? What the frick are you talking about?
you think standard american military soldiers from the 60s were dropped by top secret equipment in the middle of russia to act against their own top secret nuclear weapons all on their own?
did you even listen to anything they say?
he's not in the army anymore, and even if he was, he clearly wouldn't give a frick nor would anyone in the army that owns the rank to be able to tell him anything would
>you think standard american military soldiers from the 60s were dropped by top secret equipment in the middle of russia to act against their own top secret nuclear weapons all on their own?
Keep believing the La Li Lu Le Lo's lies
What about when Leon got to keep his hair in military training?
the japanese need haircuts to tell people apart
Thats what happens when all your people look the same
Leon isn't a soldier, he's a special agent, so technically law enforcement.
Special Forces guys get to ignore grooming standards
Wait until you hear that the forest the game takes place in can't actually exist in the geographic location the game claims to be set in.
Somehow this never bothered anyone.
I remember being a dumb kid and searching for mgs3's forest in books and encyclopedias and getting dumbfounded when I did not find it.
Wait until you find out what Siberian jungles are and where thry are located.
I know right?
At least Konami has added a warning in the new collection so people understand that these works from a bygone era doesn't represent their current values as a company that taked pride in equality and inclusion.
he has that haircut because solid snake does and hes a clone of big boss. i see your point and while its silly, it would have been cool to see him with his own look especially one resembling when hes much older
How the frick did the Pain create tommy guns out of hornets?
Come on dude, you've got to be able to suspend your disbelief a little bit if you're going to actually try to enjoy the story. Let's not be overly pedantic here
It's parasites. I ain't gotta explain shit.
Why would you post an image of trees and leaves?
I don't know how things are in other countries, but special forces in my neck of the woods are given leeway to just do whatever, last I heard.
Non-standard weaponry, that kind of thing.
You guys bring up tons of good points about the Special Forces but did everyone fricking forget that FOX was a CIA unit?
Weirdest thing is Brit heading a CIA blackop in the 60s
Special forces get to do what they want with their(uncle could/had to grow a beard back in Afghan). Plus command kind of stopped give a rat’s ass about hair during the NAM according to grandpa.
There is also no jungle in Russia and still the original Mgs3 is ludokino of the highest order
Short hair Big Boss is Messi
That's a custom character, not the actual venom snake face
ah I thought it was modded. you're right
If you think that's bad, look at what Gone Home did.
>she needs to have colored hair in order for apaeople to know she's a lesbian
Jap stolen valor.
Special forces, idiot.
Spooks got to wear whatever the frick they wanted on their head.
He has a mullet. It keeps the long hair out of his eyes. BTW mullets are coming back into fashion.
What phenotype is Snake? He looks Celtic to me.
He's definitely Anglo-Saxon. What type, I'm not sure.
why does mgsv big boss look so different?
he still looks anglo-saxon
its been 9 years
He looks so Celto-Deutsch
>thick ass, wide, and smooth Germanic jawline
>facial structure and hair looks peripheral English
Medic's actual face on the other hand looks more standard English
they actually let 'operators' grow their hair out so they can feel like they are special
Stop thinking about it so hard dumbass
He went from the Army to a special secret black ops force doing shit around the world.
Then his fictional cummy mummy plays pretend villain so that she can pay a very risky lip service which ends up in her sacrificing the world to stop a nuclear war and serve a duty countries everywhere including her own at the risk of making it sound like she was a maniac in the textbooks
wait until you see the guy that controls bees
Snake HAS a mullet.
It looks COOL.
You shut the FRICK up.
have a nice day.
he's not in the army when we see him. he's a CIA operative. he probably cut it himself.
Apparently after basic training he joined the green berets where for some of that time he trained under the boss then joined fox-hound
