OH MY GOD HI. BIG FAN

idk what are you talking about tbh, pw has many new cool features starting with consecutive c!q!c! and grilling and ending with cool mission types such as finding stuff (documents, the guy with the banana, zadornov, the right door), pooyan, monster hunter ops, r&d management, optional quick time events in ai mech fights (i like them if they're rare) and ability to make codec calls without pausing the game. while also having nice stuff from previous games such as location partition similar to mgs3 (both indoors and outdoors locations with natural looking "doors"/transition points between them) or base management. the only boring stuff is the quantity of mech battle side ops and grinding high rankings recruits to meet development criteria imo, which is only an issue bc there's a ton of the same thing.

and kazuhira "work ethics and nature protection laws violation" miller is the cherry on top. i am very fond of him as a character but his most obvious features and interests in pw are a collection of flaws that'd make me instantly dislike a person irl, ig it means he's very well integrated into the game to make the opposite impression.

anyway "boring" is a matter of taste ofc, it's just an excuse to me to represent the pw simping part of the players too and to yap about gameplay

kojima made peace walker’s gameplay the most mind numbingly boring ever and created kaz as an apology

did you notice that in mgsv miller is talking about ordering the r&d team to develop a burger, yet you can't find it on the research tab or use it? this is a reference to the fact that in peace walker you can't feed miller future curry, well done ration or other food during mission 68, so in return he won't let you have a taste of that burger now.

i think that's part of the "live and die under your orders" thing. (more below bc long post)

he was willing to sacrifice his life to shield big boss, so it is possible to assume he would be willing to give the rest of his life to the cause of big boss, and being big boss himself is a reward of sorts. also it is not only for personal safety of ishmael but to raise the chances of him achieving his goals; i don't think he thought venom snake will be ok at all, but i think he thought it is worth it and that venom snake would agree. which is still a very questionable thing to do ofc.

it's funny that you see him as a villain only bc for me it's the opposite: i have to remind myself what's wrong with him to not just see him as a cool guy lol. i was looking closely while playing pw to see the hints of him becoming evil or smth, and there were very few. even in mgsv i was upset the game isn't finished bc among other things i hoped to finally get the explanation of how he became the evil guy (if ever). now i hope to get it in mgs4 but will see how it goes.

in peace walker and portable ops there were two "villainy" things i noticed: kidnapping people to his pmc (which i at first disregarded as limitation of gameplay mechanics but is more fun to take literally) and being really dedicated to his goals and putting them first (as in when chico feels bad for breaking, he comforts him in a way that will make chico join the msf). and the second part is rather likeable to me than a reason to think he's a villain ngl. people in real world (not everyone ofc but many) were happy to have an opportunity give their life and death to a cause. huey really highlights it in mgsv for me: in a way, dd is play pretend, but i don't think it's a delusion bc they make it real with their own effort: they do impact the world and even their big boss becomes real big boss via his accomplishments and struggle.

i think that the boss was so loved by her followers bc she gave it her all, and big boss tried to follow and surpass her in that, and that's the appeal and i can't really see him as a villain (especially since he's fictional and thus any of his wrongs can be forgivable). interesting to see a person with opposite opinion.

also earlier you've posted that ishmael, unlike ahab, didn't even cry for his dead staff or smth. that's creepy of you ngl :) as a person who doesn't always cry at funerals of people i cared about, kinda scary that it could be perceived as me being indifferent rather than expressing my feelings in a different way (or not expressing them at all). as for big boss, there is an entire scene in portable ops when a staff member dies. it is not a 100% proof of what snake thought and felt, but i assume the game should more or less reflect his pov, and he cared, just thought that whatever losses can't be prevented are acceptable for a worthy cause, among soldiers and military people who signed up for it at least.

Venom's arc explained in a picture from the player's perspective

Playing MGSV:TPP you have 2 choices:

You can be good or bad. You can kill, destroy, use and do everything in your power to be the worst person alive. You can be kind, you can save animals, kids, soldiers, grow a family and be a respectable man.

There's actually no choice. There's no two-tracks. The ending is the same. History will see you as a villain. You are a villain. You are, currently, the perfect depiction of the most wanted and most evil man alive, according to the world.

You have no lever. You cannot stop this from happening. Either close your eyes or watch, the ending will be the same. Your life will end in misery. The only relief? Boss will pat your shoulder and let you die with a false sense of accomplishment. Congrats. That's the panthom pain everybody talks about.
