When Metal Gear Solid V acknowledges, but doesn’t accept your ingenuity

Spoilers for a Phantom Pain boss fight

Recommended Videos

Did you know the iDroid had a speaker? You can broadcast any of your cassettes aloud by turning the speaker on. Did you pick up the cassette of a guy shitting his asshole out? Yesterday I learned that if you play that boisterous bowel tape while hiding in a toilet, curious enemies will be less inclined to peek in.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is full of small, amazing touches like this. Like that very cheap way of dealing with Quiet.

I tried to put that mindset to use when faced with an intimidating mid-game (?) boss fight. Clearly it did not work. It wasn’t unanticipated, though. “That amount of water won’t do it.”

Fair, fair.
