Finally finished it now. Enjoyed this playthrough despite sticking in getting GA-KO and Kerotan, still have a couple to get but mostly early ones. Have an extra appreciation for Josh Keaton's performance as Ocelot. I didn't really realise how much the series spent its future after MGS3 relying on a chunk of EVA's monologue recording to Snake, about how no-one will ever understand The Boss or what she did or wanted. I am able to enjoy MGS3 now after many years of struggling with that with the game, but I still hate that feeling that it gives me knowing what it resulted in the obsessiveness with The Boss down the line.

I still think the boss might conceptually not be a particularly bad zeitgeist for the franchise story - but the issue is these games were always made in isolation with Kojima assuming “okay THIS is the last one fr” so no real ground work was laid for sequels.
