In my memory Act 2 was the best in the game. Laughing Octopus was definitely the boss that stuck with me the most-great to have her turn the octocamo around on us after we’ve enjoyed using it to sneak past enemies in Act 1.
And yeah MGS4 is definitely where Kojima’s scanning days began getting in models he found attractive to portray the B&B unit. Part of me wants to argue that it shows the duality of “Beauty” and “Beast” with their bodies being objectified as objects of war on the battlefield and objectified as objects of sexual desire off of it-never existing as people but simply as objects to be exploited, with only a second hand account of tragedy from Drebin to let us know them in any capacity. But I think I’d be hard pressed to make that argument in good faith while knowing the kind of man Kojima is LOL
Really enjoying this write up Nate, makes me excited to revisit one day soon!
