RIGHT?! especially the bit at the end where he says, "I'll see you in Hell, 'Boss.'" That complete condescension in his tone at the end says it all on how he feels about the legendary soldier...
What doesn't make sense about him? He's the commander of XOF, which was the secret mirror to FOX during the 60's. He wants to create a world where English is wiped off the face of the Earth in order to fight Zero. He infected Zero with the vocal cord parasite after Ground Zeroes. I don't see the confusion.
Skullface is the worst villain ever created by Hideo Kojima, he makes zero sense and when everything is done the player still isn't sure about what he was trying to do. His motivations only become semi-clear after he's defeated after listening to all the cassette tapes and even then is incomplete. Why does he hate Zero? Zero had nothing to do with his childhood so why does he have such a personal hatred towards him? Why does he hate Big Boss? How exactly was he going to acquire a personal arsenal of mini-nukes? Why would any sane individual follow a man that wants to destroy the English language? Afterall, XOF was an American outfit. And, the questions keep going. Terrible character.
Similar to Gene from MPO, Skull Face is a horribly underrated villain. 1) like all MGS villains, the true motivations of the villains are not revealed until after their defeat, usually by supporting characters or by codec conversations. 2) he has no personal hatred against Zero - he simply has a motivation, and stands in the way of that. He only hates Zero because, well, he does. That's human nature. We've all meant people who we just hate - Zero is an evil man, Skull Face knows that, and therefore hates him. 3) he says to Paz that he doesn't hate Big Boss, he just stands in his way. 4) the personal arsenal of nukes was never well explained, but it has something to do with Metallica Archaea (whatever that is). The idea is that Skull Face exhibits a sense of charisma and, yes, is actually compelling when he appears on screen. This scene is powerful - excellent dialogue, excellent visuals, and Skull Face has a cool voice and a cool appearance. Like Gene from MPO, he exhibits qualities of an excellent villain - even if not to the caliber of Liquid Snake or The Boss.
+TheLobsterWrestler Remember Volgin... Snake: What is the philosophers legacy? Volgine: Ill explain it to you,before I kill you *giving Snake just enough time to recover and beat the living shit out of him*
It’s so chilling how we don’t see ST-84 but we get a sense of how huge it might be in the fog, and it’s the first teasing glimpse of an actual Metal Gear for the first time ever (not counting PW because it didn’t fully walk on 2 legs), and what would later be bootlegged into Rex.
I've posted this a few times now 🙈 but I read that Zero admired him as an assassin and military tactician so him not being a brute warrior like the other villains makes sense. Also, his plan was going well until someone with a greater lust for revenge turned up, which clearly shocked him. "Whooooo!!!?" Cheesy as it is his shock and surprise is a great reflection of how deep his hatred and desire for revenge is. So deep that someone else surpassing it wasn't possible in his mind. If you miss this then it seems like he made a silly error but it's really just him having confidence in the unmatchable amount of poison in his heart. Granted, still an error, but in his mind never a silly one. My only wish was obviously more screen time and less hammy/cheesy. I'd have preferred it if he remained dark and unafraid of death. Cold til the end. With the same attitude you see when he delivers, "Rest in peace this time." (2:58) The way he looks at Venom when he says that is subtle, scary, and perfect.
+callahaine100 What is so cheesy about a perfect ethnic cleanser? Would you like a weapons like that to exist in real life? I'd love you to see you call it cheesy if it's even made

I expected skullface to start choreographic group steps with his zombie skulls to the sound of man who sold the world. I mean, that fedora and the suit, the way he acts it all sets the moment just for that.
Looking back at the trailers and the few cut scenes of mgs5 really makes wish it would have turned out to be the ultimate mg game that it should of been but it just lacked so much of what made the first 3 great.
Venom didn't say a word to Skull Face for a reason because he knew if he said something Skull Face would have figured it out that he is not Big Boss but an imposter posing to be Big Boss
It's depressing knowing this was hideo Kojima last metal gear game . After leaving konami. What a bunch of greedy ass holes. I hope hideo buys the I.P to metal gear in the future since he has his own studio. 😍
I'm not sure if you realized already, but Kojima doesn't want to make another MGS. MGS4 is supposed to be the end of the franchise but Konami forced him to.
News flash, did you know Skull Face has more cutscenes in this game than Psycho Mantis, Ocelot, Raven, Sniper Wolf had in MGS1? Not saying they are "terrible villains" or anything...but just wrecking some double standards regarding Skull Face's screen time
breakfestbacon Actually, no...he didn't fuck up Care to explain to me "how" he "fucked up Snake"? Also the fake advertising campaign was intentional, Kojima already talked about it after the game's release, stating that stories will be more interesting if they were unpredictable, and in that regard he succeeded, he played everyone like a damn fiddle.
Miyakolover Purposely handicapping the experience of the LAST MGS game by Hideo Kojima was bad design choice, while I like the message of the twist at the end it really wasn't was I was expecting ( the entire game that is ) after the excellent snake eater and the mediocre MGS4 I though we would finally get the TRUE dark story that MGS so needed.
breakfestbacon The writer has the right to write the story they want to tell and the themes they wanted to tell us, he's not forced to cater to what anyone else thinks how the story should be written. The whole part of the false advertisement was a part of that story too, all a set up to the plot twist at the end, and in that regard he succeeded. We only have the right to demand him to give us a well polished gameplay, but when it comes to story ideas nobody has the right to dictate him. While I understand you disappointment because you didn't get what you wanted, that doesn't mean it was badly written as it is. I'll say you should try to connect the dots with the rest of the series to make sense of why the story was the way it was. I just appreciate Kojima didn't re-tell us of events we already knew about from MGS4 and MGS1 regarding Big Boss' backstory and choose to be creative.
+Miyakolover Excellent reply, it's nice to see that some people don't live in a "world" of warped reality. Some of the responses that I have read in regards to the ending of MGSV have been quite astounding but not in a great way. I've read a number of responses where people have literally re-written the ending of the series to the one that fits the narrative in their head when the "expected outcome" was completely unexpected. I ask myself if a fantasy based game/novel throw these people so off kilter, what does reality do to the them?! Think about it...
So... Big Boss finally meets the man that destroyed his home and killed most of his comrades... and doesn't say shit? Alot of fans blame Konami for most of the games story problems, but no one ever really says Kojima was at fault too for some really bad decisions.
what would you make him say? since you have so much knowledge of how to convey a message through a videogame... sometimes a well placed moment of silence says more than a thousand words...
I like Shutterland voice coming out from snake but.if he was that expensive. why dont use the classic voice we all now? i Mean, its a bit worse that kiefer's but its better than NOTHING (in this case and in the skull face speech)
People still not understanding what type of character Skullface is. A boss fight against him would be useless since he's your doppleganger. Venom not saying anything is to make the player reflections take priority over fictional conversation. Sure Big Boss would have something to say to Skullface about that little incident 9 years before, but that's not the point...
@@maxfrankow1238 hes also meant to be big boss, as in all his experiences and along with that OUR experiences therefore it makes no sense for venom to not saying anything since he IS big boss
So disappointed in how Kojima handled Skullface in MGSV! My hopes for this character were through the roof after playing Ground Zeroes. He was as evil as they come.. Then we have Kojima kill him half way through TPP game!!! What the hell man?! Killing him so soon for that stupid Eli bit that wasn't even finished makes me maaaaad.. Still a great game though. But could've been much more
Its not kojima. Its konami that shat the bed. You can tell there are things missing from the first chapter and the second. Not to mention mission 51. than again its called phantom pain so it could just be there to make you feel that way.
that's the point... you didn't kill him... just look how pathetic Huey was when he finally found the revenge he was so craving for... all you've done in the game was never really to kill SF, but to find your trueself and escape your inner demons... SF was preaching so much about it in his speeches... you just werent listening because, just as Kaz, you were blinded by rage...
