THIS CANNOT CONTINUE!!🤬

I don't normally get ranty but I wanted to bring it up barely anyone seems to be bringing it up. The way Konami handled the physical release of the Switch version of MGS Master Collection Vol. 1 is incorrigible and abysmal. There is nothing on the cartridge, how can they keep getting away with their antics? It's just a digital download with extra steps!!

They might as well just save more money by making it a code in a box than spending money on producing cartridges with nothing on them. To make it worse, PlayAsia can't save us this time because the Asia version is the same. A special kind of incompetence indeed for Konami. For crying out loud the .Hack Last Recode collection on Switch from Bandai Namco has four games, 3 of which are PS2 games, and it's all on one cart, to give an example. And you know they're not gonna rectify this cuz it's already set in stone and they have two other console versions (PS5 and XBOX) that don't have this issue. Jeez it's like they saw what Capcom was doing with their collections in the early days of the Switch and said "hold my pachinko machine."

​ There is no respect or effort being given. To them the Switch version is the runt of the litter, an acceptable loss because they think they'll make most of their profits off the other console versions. To Konami, Metal Gear is not a cherished and renowned series, in their money-grubbing eyes it's a popular brand to be sold and so, they think people will buy anything with MGS plastered on it even if it's half-assed, that's the obvious and harsh reality of it. They want a quick profit and take us for a couple of chumps and suckers. Unfortunately, there are a small few I've seen who have said they're okay with it as long as they have the case and cartridge, instead of demanding better.

Think about it. The last physical releases they've done have been for Classic Castlevania and Symphony of the Night but not the Advance collection. My guess is because Classic Castlevania and Castlevania Symphony of the Night are the most recognized, marketable and profitable, and that's why the Advance games got nothing. Hopefully this ages poorly in the future, but for now that's what it seems.

"Why not just buy it on PS5 or XBOX?"

 The problem isn't a lack of alternative console options. The issue is how BS this practice is and how blatant the lack of effort is when compared to what the competition has done as of late. How can you sell a PHYSICAL game cart with NO games on it? You may as well not have a physical option. Also, not everyone has a PS5 or XBOX and it's not right to be screwed over for your choice of console, especially if it's not because of technical limitations, but instead it's because of the lack of effort and care by the company. That's the bottom line. Konami is pulling a Konami again.

I hope the upcoming Snake Eater remake is good because if it isn't it's obvious why that happened. Konami sees a profitable entry, not an acclaimed, classic title that left a deep impression on gaming and players. Again, I hope this ages poorly and I'm proven wrong.

UPDATE(7/8/23)

If Konami couldn't get any more scummier, they omitted having to download the games in the Amazon descriptions. So people are going to fooled into buying the Switch version thinking all the games are on the cartridge.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!???🤬🤬

Yesterday I started listening to a couple of Limp Bizkit songs, those being:

Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle) — Chocolate Starfish and The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Take A Look Around — Chocolate Starfish and The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Gold Cobra — Gold Cobra (Deluxe)

Shark Attack — Gold Cobra (Deluxe)

Shotgun — Gold Cobra (Deluxe)

...and started getting an idea of what music I think Big Boss would listen to quite often. I do bet that the album 'Gold Cobra (Deluxe)' would be his favorite to grind on.

Maybe Venom Snake would try out Limp Bizkit songs, but idk.

What are your ideas for the B&B unit what details would you want to edit/add [besides the obvious oversexualization n such]

Starting with gameplay: 

(I know you said besides the sexualization but I'm cheating and telling you exactly what I'd replace the sexualization with.)

I'd like to swap the fanservice/sexualization second half of the boss fights with more characterization. They came close to this but they really missed the mark. 

After each of the unit members come out of their suits, their breakdowns can stay essentially the same but instead of them suddenly switching to this weird seductive demeanour I think they should remain in their upset state. 

I believe it's Drebin who states that the unit has been ordered to kill Snake and believes that doing so will "cleanse" them (heal their trauma in a way I guess?) so I can see them still trying desperately to get at snake even when they've come out of their suits.

I imagine they would do this differently though depending on the character so I can explain the individual ideas I have for this. 

(And none of that hugging Snake to death shit they want him dead dead fr)

I believe Laughing Octopus' dialogue saying "I won't laugh anymore, I can't, I don't want to." Is definitely said with a lot more panic than how it's said in-game. She would try to get to Snake by very quickly walking maybe a bit slumped over as I imagine the way she'd be feeling would be similar to an intense anxiety attack where standing up straight or running is difficult. 

The strategy would be to stay on the move so she can't reach you. 

And if she DOES get to Snake I can see her jumping on him and trying to maybe suffocate or choke him causing a button spamming QTE to get her off of you. 

Raging Raven's dialogue about "let your anger flow" is completely cut out of this. She's not saying this to Snake she is definitely preoccupied with other thoughts.  And during the segment of her trying to get to snake I can see her yelling things similar to her flashbacks during the pre-cutscene ("the birds are picking at my flesh") and such. Her statement of "I'm not angry, I'm scared" makes me think she'd be a bit less into killing Snake to cleanse her mind and more stuck in a state where she thinks shes back where her trauma started and Snake is just mixed up in this. 

She is definitely running and lunging at Snake but in a bit of a less calculated manner. Short burst attacks that do a lot of damage if they hit so the dive roll thing is the best strategy for this I think. 

If she makes contact with Snake she would do a lot of damage on impact but also continuous damage with what I can best describe as scratching and pulling at his face so I think this should require a multiple button CQC QTE to get away from. 

Crying Wolf's breakdown cutscene is probably so similar to the canon one I can't think of any immediate changes. 

I think she would be more slow in reaching Snake. kind of a staggered walk to him but as she gets closer she speeds up.

This seems easy to avoid but I'd like to add the extra challenge of the wolf dogs in the area attacking Snake as well. That way the game requires you to keep Crying Wolf away while the wolf dogs are attacking because if Crying Wolf gets to Snake she grabs onto him keeping him from moving or doing any attacking while the wolves do damage. 

The QTE I imagine takes a while to do and is probably a button spam thing like with Octopus, and every time you shake Crying Wolf off the wolf dogs get more aggressive.

For Screaming Mantis I imagine she walks at Snake similar to in canon but a lot of reaching and trying to grab at him which briefly slows you down if her hands make contact with Snake, giving her an opportunity to get closer. 

I also think her screaming should blur your screen vision or maybe distort it in some way making it harder to navigate. And I think she should be harder to hit and she should dodge bullets more than the others (I don't really imagine the others dodging bullets a lot in this but I imagine they take a lot less damage).

Her reaching Snake would cause this longer QTE where you have to block her hits which would kill snake if the QTE was failed (her screaming also distorting the message saying what buttons to press) and even if this is done perfectly she still ends up getting on top of snake and ultimately trying to rip his head off. Stopping this would require several QTE's in a row and highly decreases the stamina(?) bar. 

Also, none of that weird white void with the sex noises nonsense it makes no sense. 

I wanted to add some variety to this section of the fights because they seem like nothing but fan service and are extremely easy to beat. I think they deserve to have more to the fights than that.

Also I imagine in canon they don't die like how in mgs3 you get the option to kill Raikov but in canon he doesn't die.

And none of the curling up in a ball as they die stuff they stay in the position they fell down in.

Now onto design: 

The game builds these characters up as being these beautiful ladies under the suits. 

And they are, but I think it's a bit disappointing that these characters are all the same height and body type. If they wanna have these beautiful lady characters they could have shown a bunch of different body types since being beautiful isn't reserved for people who are just skinny with big boobs

I drew this a while ago but here's a bit of an example:

I imagine Wolf is taller than snake (maybe 6'1 or 6'2) and Mantis is about his height maybe a bit shorter, Octopus is around the same height she is in-game and Raven is considerably shorter. 

(I also imagine Mantis to overall be a bit wider than in this drawing but it's old so)

I drew Wolf Raven and Octopus the other day as a little doodle which gives a slightly better example:

I stuck to their in-game designs in this pretty closely other than their body types but I did have this idea for Mantis' face the other day:

And I also like to imagine that Octopus has freckles and Wolf has very irritated skin on her face from the crying. 

(Btw I like to sometimes imagine Wolf's hair in microtwists I think that would look cool) 

Tysm kind mutual I had a very nice time explaining this 

Btw here's a little Crying Wolf doodle I did the other day as a treat:
