10 Best Quotations From The Metal Gear Solid Franchise
6. Politics Are Fickle, They Change With The Times. So Long As We Remain Loyal To Our Countries, Soldiers Like Us Need Nothing To Believe In. Naked Snake (Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops)
When Hideo Kojima has Big Boss as the featured protagonist in a Metal Gear Solid title, you know its going to serve as something special during a cutscene. Big Boss is one of the most effective orators in gaming, with this statement reinforced by a classic line he said in Portable Ops: Politics are fickle, they change with the times. So long as we remain loyal to our countries, soldiers like us need nothing to believe in. Portable Ops was an excellent title for carrying on the character development of Big Boss, as the soldier continued to mourn The Boss death and refused to accept the title bestowed upon him as a reward for killing her. After the player successfully completed the mission of capturing an enemy soldier, a cutscene started where Big Boss and Roy Campbell attempted to recruit him into their organisation - its also worth mentioning how Portable Ops revealed an interesting origin story of Big Boss idea for establishing an organisation where soldiers are placed first. Big Boss delivered a powerful speech to recruit the soldier into his organisation, by asking him to not believe in his country or justice, but to believe as a soldier. Additionally, Snake referred to The Boss death and how she died as a soldier, with it demonstrating how Militaires Sans Frontières (Soldiers Without Borders) was established in Peace Walker as a safe haven for soldiers.
