Metal Gear Solid: 10 Most Ridiculous Things We Just Had To Go With

7. Everything Vamp Does In Metal Gear Solid 2

Konami KonamiWhere do you even begin with Vamp? First introduced in Metal Gear Solid 2, Vamp's every appearance results in him doing something ridiculous. He murders an entire team of Navy SEALs and drinks their blood. He gets shot in the head and survives. He runs across water and up one of the Big Shell's support struts after being shot down in a harrier jet. He explains to Raiden (before his boss fight) that anything that falls in the water below them will not come back up due to a lack of buoyancy... Before falling in and returning later on. It's fair to say that something's up with Vamp. Funnily enough, Metal Gear Solid 2 never gives a definitive answer as to why Vamp possesses these seemingly supernatural abilities. In Metal Gear Solid 4, it's revealed to be nanomachines within his body (seemingly Kojima's favourite plot device) but during the course of Sons Of Liberty, we only see Vamp as some sort of freak. Even his name is ridiculous - it's not even in reference to his supposedly undead state of being; Solid Snake states that it's because he's bisexual. He's permanently laid to rest in Metal Gear Solid 4 but without the explanation or hindsight as to why he is the way he is, Vamp in Metal Gear Solid 2 is simply bizarre.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
