Surely that has to mean something, Kojima can't just be that moronic, right??

Not an argument
Yes it is. Here's the long version: considering the musical trends among band groups, particularly that of The Cure, which their debut to fame was in the 1980s in spite their career activity starting in 1978. You could say even that in spite of some albums coming out one to three years after the decade of their heyday of which their sound as a band was mostly associated with, it belongs to earlier times. In fact, a lot of music from the early 1990s (1990-1993) was throwbacks to the 1980s with a more decisiveness in sound and better production. Because of that it works well in the video of a fictional 1984 set game.
That's a very autistic explanation. I like it.
homie, that anon nuked your entire argument
No Kojima clearly thought it was an 80s song because all others are. One is a remake of an 80s song but that can be forgien. Kojima is moronic. You already see Kojidrones making up excuses ITT
literally the first metal gear man
it's fiction you dumbass
The bigger problem is how every single Soviet soldier is somehow listening to the latest (at the time) Western hit song. They would NOT be listening to that, I can guarantee you that, and it's not even because of the Iron Curtain or anything.
Kojima doesn't want to talk with Russians about getting Lyube or Kino in his game, he scarfs down American culture
>Lyube
kojima want frick with those pro putin twats
>Set in the 80s
>Rebel Yell (2008 Remaster) starts playing
AFGHAN
AFGHAN, AFGHAN
It doesn't even have 80s vibes, clearly feels like a 90s song. No idea why he wanted it in the game
yaeh that gave me pause as well.
but i like the song so I didn't really care, so oh well.
it means he liked the song, so he put it in the game................................ moron
Playing MGSV on friday nights is top comfy
Just sneaking around while listening to spin me round

THIS IS THE SOUND OF MY SOUL
THIS IS THE SOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUNNNDD
MGSV is anachronistic not only to reality, but within the MGS timeline as well some examples:
reality:
The beginning of MGSV is an attack on what is for all intents and purposes gitmo, nearly 30 years before it
sahelanthropus is named after a hominid that wouldn't be discovered until the 2000s
mgsverse:
sahelanthropus is clearly the most mechanically sophisticated metal gear ever created
holographic projection and such from the idroid and phantom cigar is way ahead of the curve
wormhole technology is developed and actively used
there's a lot more but you get the picture
this isn't an accident there's two reasons for it:
the first is that MGSV is really about the present and is using the resource wars of the 80s as an analogue, this is in contrast to the previous two prequels which were very much about the cold war and had fewer (likely all accidental) anachronisms. the second is that it establishes the extent to which the information control of the patriots is already in play
cope. Kojima just wanted wacky stuff in his game, he didn't even think about shit like that.
you're too stupid to analyze anything:
A terrorist attack is perpetrated on your motherbase
Upon awakening you begin rebuilding your base and start a war of revenge against an ill-defined enemy, most of the war involves fighting people tangentially or completely unconnected to your original foe in resource rich third world nations. There's a guy on your team who obviously knew about the attack and is a huge piece of shit but you just let him hang around anyway because he's smart.
2/3rds of the way through the game you kill the instigator of the attacks, but this does not stop your war
not only that, but without an external enemy uniting people your base starts to turn on itself totally gripped by paranoia.
(this next part was accidentally prescient)
The final major narrative beat of the plot is a pandemic breaks out on your base, and what should have been a simple medical quarantine turns into a bloodbath because nobody trusts each other anymore
MGSV is obviously about the present, which in turn means it's anachronisms reframe your mind towards present politics instead of being immersed in the period. use your head, it literally does not matter if Kojima intended it or not (he probably did, Ganker is just desperate to discredit him as a hack because he didn't make the game they wanted) what matters is that it fits the narrative perfectly, it's present focus, and it's emphasis on the concept of information control
It leaked back in time through the wormholes, like in Metal Gear Survive
Song selection could have been better. Duran Duran - Planet Earth. Frankie goes to Hollywood - Two Tribes, I would have put in there
