Customized character 'reverts' back when doctor is being killed.
When you first make the changes, and right before the nurse gets killed, he shows you your 'new' face in the mirror, then just before he gets killed himself, the doctor holds the mirror up and shows you the 'old' default face. What gives?(It did this in 3 attempts of the tutorial/start mission)

That's how it's supposed to go, the customized face is (presumably) for the multiplayer stuff. Everyone plays as the same snake for single player.

Thats part of MG:O. Its not released yet.

Since V is a prequel to the other games snake can't change appearances.

lol then what is the point of the customization then and there? why not wait till after your out of the bloody hops. (Kinda ruined the experience and made me think my game was buggy, or I had done something wrong, since the controls aren't exactly 'obvious' sometimes... Half the time I'm not sure I accepted or canceled something)

Leave now before you get spoiled... Your touching on some very sensitive plot points.

Because, you ignorant pleb. If you had paid attention to the game, the doctor states he needs to change your face and then you go through the whole "avatar-creating" sequence but the doctor doesn't actually perform the operation, he gets killed. It's a nice little way of creating your online character rolled in with the single player story. That is all.

pleb? ok so explain why he SHOWS u your 'new' face in the MIRROR right before he shows you a 2nd time (as he dies) and your the old snake again? Seriously they should have simply left that part out till later when u can use it. (It serves little purpose in the story beyond telling you that you need a face change)

And is it normal for children to be so rude on steam or something, nobody ever taught you to show a little respect for others?

Do you want me to spoil the game? Like I said above this is going to be a huge HUGE spoiler...

This is your first Kojima game isn't it?

Because it's just a little tidbit to show the outcome, he shows the mirror again and your face is back to normal too, you are looking into this way too hard. That face was never meant to be snakes new face, it's your ONLINE character. You can even change it again in the helicopter.

Also, I'm not a child, I'm 25 years old. I'm just sick of having retarded conversations with people about this game, use your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ brain.

You are a child, even one of 25, obviously you were not brought up well by your parents(Shame on them)

If first reaction to a question about a game is of 'tantrum level anger' you should take a step back and go into anger management.

1.) Then you are familiar with his humor and his tendency to troll players every once in a while
2.) You know what's really childish? Assuming everyone that doesn't agree with you is a child.
