10 Best Quotations From The Metal Gear Solid Franchise
4. Chico, Growing Up Means Choosing How You're Gonna Live Your Life. [...] Treasure Your Memories, Chico. No Matter What Happens, Keep Them Safe. [...] Nothing To Be Ashamed Of. Pain Gets The Better Of Us All. [...] Remember, Real Heroes Are Never As Polished As The Legends That Surround Them. Big Boss (Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker)
Reiterating the statement made earlier in this list that Big Boss is one gamings greatest orators, the legendary soldier takes another spot with a truly mesmerising monologue made in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Big Boss ventured on a rescue mission after Amandas baby brother, Chico, was captured by the enemy, and when he arrived at where he was being held, Snake did not hold back in offering his words of wisdom to the Sandinista child soldier. Its no surprise that Amanda believed that the great cacique had arrived to liberate her homeland of Sandinista, especially when Big Boss had built such a formidable reputation on the battlefield and as a wordsmith. Kojima has truly captured Big Boss character development perfectly, specifically for how each title demonstrated the evolution behind his philosophy whilst retaining the soldiers mentality he uses to inspire others around him. Sold Snake shared a similar philosophy as his father on the comment of Remember, real heroes are never as polished as the legends that surround them, which weve heard him say similar phrases in other MGS titles: for example, A legend is usually bad news. Someone tells it, someone else remembers, everybody passes it on.
