Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Hidden Cut Scene

I finished all 10 missions to see the ending.  I saw Big Boss dazed and confused on an empty deck.  Big Boss chased a black butterfly that disappeared when he tried embraced it.  I was left wondering what doesall this mean, so I did some internet research on Paz and the hidden mission. 

Paz is a 16 year spy on a mission and a triple agent working for Cipher, KGB, and CIA.  Paz knows a lot information about the nuclear weapon ZEKE and Zeroes location, so she is eventually captured by enemy forces.  Another child spy named Chico is sent to rescue her but he fails and gets captured at camp omega.

In March 1975, Chico was captured while trying to rescue Paz from the facility, but their reunion was marred by Skull Face's brutal interrogation and torture methods, which consisted of beatings and rape from soldiers on Skull Face's orders. 

Paz was later located by Snake and placed on board the chopper. Chico later discovered the surgical cuts on Paz's stomach, with Snake correctly deducing that a bomb was placed inside her. Emergency surgery was carried out by the medic on board without anesthetic in order to remove one of the bombs, causing great distress and pain for the conscious Paz who fainted afterwards.

Paz eventually regained consciousness when she was interrogated by an angered Miller following an attack on Mother Base, during which she revealed there was a second bomb inside of her that the MSF had been unaware of. She then sacrificed herself by jumping out of the helicopter, exploding in midair, sending the chopper out of control and into the path of a XOF chopper.

9 years later, we catch up to Paz's story in phantom pain. Paz is alive, but she allegedly survived the suicide attempt, and is damaged mentally.

After the 30th mission or sooner you will receive a measage to come to a hidden area to meet a familiar friend, Paz. You will be briefed by Miller that Paz has Dissociative amnesia where the memories get blocked out to protect the mind and Dissociative identity disorder where the whole personality changes.  Paz believes she is a student living in 1974. She has no memory of the war or the organizations.  

Hideo Kojima was more ambiguous, stating "Paz's flashbacks are meant to make the player think. Are they hallucinations? Or are they a reality? Or are they a phantom pain?". 

After Venom Snake's encounter with the phantom, he encountered a mysterious butterfly that would vanish before his eyes after clutching it in his hand. Butterflies often symbolized death in Japanese culture, and its supernatural appearance is possibly symbolic of Venom Snake coming to terms with Paz's death.

All this seems unimportant until you finish the game and see that the snake you play as is not Big Boss.  This snake is medic.  Big boss is in hiding, and he assumes a new identity.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

"In his mind, he think he is a

Shining white knight that stood up against the dark army. 

One day he will realize phantoms will catch up to him.

Blabbing on about Injustice and hiding behind a fool's idea of morality and all the other fools will knod with him.

One day he will see through the lies he built up and realize the kind of man he is.

What goes around comes around 

You can't run from yourself."

I must say Metal Gear Solid V lived up to my expectations but like all good games, it left me wanting more.

This time around metal gear solid took an interesting twist with gameplay and story development. As usual gameplay encourages players to sneak around applying stealth and using tranquilizers to immobilize enemies.  The buddy support system and new weapons are a real treat for fans of action games.  The addition of vehicles and animals help snake transverse across the open map and cover large chunks of land to complete the missions and push the story.

The story is driven by an all star cast of voice actors such as Keifer Sutherland and Tara Strong. This time around story is more about phantoms of the true heir to the metal gear franchise. I will let you play the game to understand what I mean about that😉.  This story covers big boss raise and the events from 1974 to 1984 in the MGS franchise.  46 missions cover a lot of back story that we read about in previous games, but we didn't see until now.

Now down to the review.  It's a beautiful and ambitious game.  I must admit one set back is that the story is pushed by repeatitive missions and stealth driven combat.  Most items on the battle field can be collected and sent back to your mother base as resources.  Other than support you never get full use of the mother base system.  There's a pvp feature for the mother base which allows you to steal resources and combat other players via the online multi player, but I didn't spend too much time on it. 

Overall, Metal Gear Solid: the Phantom Pain is solid. Graphics and gameplay are on point.  You can use the environment to your advantage to help you in stealth driven missions. Sound and acting are perfect. You can even use the rain to mask the sound of your footsteps. The ending was reminiscent of bio shock infinite. That's all I will say. I give Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain a 9.5 out of 10.  

A need for research

 

A scene from metal gear solid really had me intrigued. Detailed a mental health issue following a traumatic brain injury.

"Dissociative amnesia where the memories get blocked out to protect the mind. 

Dissociative identity disorder where the whole personality changes 

Believes she is a student living in 1974. She has no memory of the war or the organizations.  

She doesn't respond to anything that conflicts with her internal timeline 

We thought old photos would jog her memory but no luck"

Only that would do is cause more stress and a stroke
