its does but you need a really good weapon thou . or very trans venier . venier has such crappy base dmg haha <| sep |> He ' s right up there with Goodridge in the pantheon of weird finishes on his record . <| sep |> LOL . so true . From praying god of fortune to strike 4 D to praying jesus and ' prosperity gospel ' to . strike 4 D . <| sep |> Isn ' t that kind of the beauty of Metal Gear ? There are no heroes or villains , only soldiers . When you play from BB ' s perspective , everything makes total sense . He really does come off as a hero . Because that ' s how he sees himself , and that ' s the problem . He ' s like America . He sees all of his actions as justified because in his eyes , he is by definition the good guy . And when playing as him , we see that . The only times he ever seems to face himself or his sins is The Sorrow ' s river and The Boss , and those are the only two moments the games really make you secondguess killing anyone from a moral standpoint . Outside of that , it ' s all about the debriefing for Naked Snake . He might get reprimanded by someone for killing too many people . It might harm his record . But killing them is no problem for him . His entire philosophy is endless war . He murders families and kidnaps children to indoctrinate into his army , he keeps nukes and threatens to end the world , he kidnaps scientists and holds utopian technologies hostage . But the way he sees it , he ' s not spreading chaos . He ' s creating jobs for people like him . He ' s ensuring that all the thrown away veterans , all the soldiers , everyone he can relate to always has a job to do . Always have something to keep their existences justified . In his eyes , he ' s not a demon . He ' s a hero . Now we look at David . He ' s no hero , either , but he admits it . He ' s saved the world countless times , and he ' s a much better person than John ever was , but he ' s no boyscout . John saw his enemies merely as obstacles , but David sees his as equals . This justifies killing them , as they ' d do the same , and he has been trained to get a thrill out of it , but at the end of the day , he respects his enemies . He allows them to justify themselves , grants them final wishes , and waxes poetic with his foes in their final moments . They ' re soldiers on the other side . They ' re no different than him , so why should he treat them differently than if they were him ? He fights for peace . The way he sees it , nobody should have to be put through what he or these soldiers he ' s up against are being put through . He wants it to end . He ' s a dick , he ' s calloused , he ' s controlling , and from time to time he ' s downright emotionally cruel . He doesn ' t comfort people caught in the crossfire of war , he uses them . But he uses them for peace . He sees them as pawns , just as he is a pawn . His controlling , cruel nature doesn ' t come from malice . It comes from objectivity and cynicism . He ' s not here for himself or this individual he ' s just met in the field . He ' s there for the world . It ' s still wrong , he ' s still a bad guy , he ' d still suck to have as a neighbor and he ' d still suck to hang out with , but at the same time he doesn ' t need to be . From his perspective , and to an extent rightly so , he just needs to do his job , that job being improving the world , to the best of his ability . And if that means using , controlling , and intimidating people , . then so be it .
