>I deliberately brainwashed myself to make everyone believe I was possessed by your dead brother.
ok but why tho?

Something to do with defeating the patriots? I forget

Kojima is a hack

MGS1-3 are fine to understand. 2 is only confusing on your first playthrough

>why tho
nanomachines

>pretending to be possessed by Liquid was a great way of disguising the fact that Ocelot was working for Big Boss the entire time to bring down the Patriots and the War Economy
>actually being possessed by Liquid was too random and too disruptive to what he actually intended to do
>so he cut off the arm and hypnotised himself into Liquid Ocelot to both confuse the Patriots and make sure Liquid's ghost never got to interfere
Pretty sure MGS4 says all this

>>724119013 (OP)
So he could destroy The Patriots

>>724119013 (OP)
wait what the fuck? i always believed he was being possessed by liquid

>>724119013 (OP)
It's because Patriot AI surveils and knows everything except for this man acting retarded, and taking his retarded antic at a face value

>>724119607
>The Patriots
literally who?

how do you brainwash someone who is aware it's taking place, shits dumb

>>724119013 (OP)
How the fuck did he cut off his arm and get a new arm without anyone snitching

>>724119758
self-hypnosis is a thing tho

>>724119876
so you're saying sissy hypno is real?

>>724119927
It can be

Even the Patriot AIs thought "ghosts? that's fucking retarded" and got so angry/confused that they also became retarded

>>724119854
I know mgs4 lore down to the every bit, but this part is literally unexplainable
How did the almighty Patriot not think twice about MGS2's meaty prosthetics turning mechanical in MGS4
I guess players didn't think twice about that too, so I assume Kojiumbo wanted to say something about that but absolutely failed to make a point

>>724119013 (OP)
i think half of 4 is just kojima panic retconning things people didn't like from 2.

>>724119013 (OP)
5D chess.

Cracked me up in V when the excuse was "I'm Russian so I'm good at doublethink"

LIQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID

>>724119013 (OP)
He wanted to destroy the AI slop machine

>>724119013 (OP)
Only way to get close enough to the Patriots to enact his plan, you fucking idiot. Were you even paying attention?
