Would you play a MGS game with "The Boss" aka "The Joy" as the protag?

[old.school]

Hey everybody,

Hypothetical question. Would you play a Metal Gear game with "The Boss" as the main character?

Kojima and Konami will probably never kiss and make up but just for the sake of this discussion i'll say that the story is written by him or someone at his caliber. Story would be near or comparable quality to the best in the series and game mechanics would have the best from all of the series and none of the crappy stuff that we all hate.

So main character is The Boss, supporting characters would be the Cobra Unit members. I think she was active during WW2? so setting for the story could be where the Germans were fighting Russia which would make sense i guess given Russia/USSR's heavy presence in the rest of the series.

If it would be good quality, then hell yes.

i would like to see foundation of Cobras.

That was actually planned. Kojima was going to do a prequel to MGS3 with The Boss.

Really? that would have been cool to see. I know someone thats trying to do some appearance mods and they said that they wanted to try getting The Boss as well but they were having a hard time finding a good model of her head with decent textures. Thats what got me thinking about a full on prequel-sequel by Konami.

I dont really like the stereotypical badass male characters in other games (ie Geralt). I prefer characters like Snake (especially in MGS2 and 3). He doesnt talk like he just swallowed a roll of sandpaper, eyepatch > cateyes, and while he acts cocky at times (mgs3, smoking a cigar on the plane before he jumped) he still gets his ass handed to himself a few times. I kinda want to see that same thing but on a female mgsv character.

Maybe i'll talk to that buddy of mine and see if i can convince them to do the "The Boss" appearance mod for MGSV. At least with that when people refer to the character as Boss its fitting hehe unlike when you are playing as female staff. Like when Pequod drops you off and he's like "be safe down there Boss" and Asthmatic Wallaby is like "roger that".

It was supposed to take place in World War 2, when The Boss gained her reputation. They never started development, since it was just an idea. I’d imagine it would also show The Sorrow, but that’s just my guess.

Yah since its set in WW2 it would have been interesting to see what they could have done with the weapons and equipment. Like how COD: Unfortunate Warfare or Battlefield 10 did when they went back to WW1 or WW2. You cant fulton anyone out with a C-130 so they'd have to do something like have a Willys "Desert Rat" SAS Jeep zoom in so you can throw in your "fulton" target into it before it zooms off lol.

Maybe it could have shown how she learned CQC through training. Maybe she forces herself to use it in a dangerous situation.

I was thinking that too since i believe only very few WW2 weapons had suppressors at the time. So it could be more melee centric which would have explained how she invented CQC.

they should make a nude version where everyone is nude so we can see naked snake

But we already have a Naked Snake. ;)

I'd love to see a game with The Boss (a good game, of course). There is a lack of good games with tough female player characters, unless you count where you just make them yourself. Not quite the same.

I want to play as sniper wolf or meryl... mgs 1 timeline is much more fun i think

Points at Metroid series, and Bayonetta. Enjoy.
