>supposed to be the game that ties to MG1 once and for all >yet doesn't even include an emulator rerelease/translation of the MSX games by M2
>the moment where Medic's true self is revealed, his revealed backstory is void of anything other than "he suddenly existed in MSF out of nowhere as BB's best soldier", losing all chance for the player to develop full empathy for the character's losses >the phone call at the end doesn't go anywhere >lots of story segments that are clearly supposed to be canon are entirely optional instead of a requirement >repeated missions after M30/M31 What was Kojima thinking????????
