message: In the themes section, it mentions Gene, meme, scene, sense, and peace as the themes for most of the Solid games. Yet it does not mention the theme of Portable Ops. Why is this not included? 134340Goat (talk) 22:05, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You know I kinda notice a pattern here. In the characters article, you whine about the lack of an MPO section. And in here, you make another question that has an MPO element added in? Are you really that desperate to have anything about that game included in anywhere Metal Gear? --Eaglestorm (talk) 13:52, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The list seems incomplete without it. If you'd seen my other "whining", you'd have read that before.I'm not whining, I'm simply asking why it is not included. I'm not demanding anybody do anything. The article just seems to be lacking. 134340Goat (talk) 20:08, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, I do not understand why my addition needed to be removed. 134340Goat (talk) 04:47, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

text: Don't try it. The game has no theme, and I will revert it. Provide at least two primary references with a theme, otherwise it will not be valid. --Anddo (talk) 17:06, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It is documented nicely here. You asked for two examples in game: 
1.) Early on, two soldiers are talking about their dissatisfaction with Gene as their leader due to his brutal methods.
2.) When Gene explains his goal for his Army's Heaven, Snake calims that he is nothing but a dictator, and what soldiers are really looking for is outside his "heaven".
Need any more? 134340Goat (talk) 18:40, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Uh, yeah actually, much more. Not a one of those references refer to a single word or phrase as an overarching theme. Give me something like Gene, Meme, Scene, Sense, Peace or Revenge to write around. All the themes in the series revolve around a single word, otherwise it's just a detail the developer wanted to convey, not a general moral. Find me something like that, anywhere. --Anddo (talk) 19:08, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No need to be so rude about it. Judging by your history, you do that a lot, though. Just tell me why the theme shoud not be documented here. The article would benefit from at least a brief mention somewhere. Did you read this? Also, now that I re-read it again, it mentions the themes of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake. Those are unable to be expressed in a single word, yet they are still mentioned. 134340Goat (talk) 19:12, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The bottom paragraph deals with Metal Gear Solid titles in one-word conventions, while the above explains MG1 and 2's theme without a one-word convention. If an MGS title really has a theme, it's one word, so the MGS paragraph is branched. MPO does not. The MGS series splits off from MG1 and 2 anyway. If you really want to lay out the theme for MPO, why don't you do it in an entirely separate paragraph since it has no word of its own? --Anddo (talk) 20:13, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: You make a fair point about the MG/MGS split. Problem is, if I wrote anything there, a troublesome user called Eaglestorm would remove it without explanation, even when asked. Oh well, there's always the sandbox to go to... 134340Goat (talk) 21:01, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Themes  

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Metal Gear's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Gamespot":
From The Phantom Pain (video game): 
From Electronic Entertainment Expo 2010: 
From Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 03:43, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

message: Read this article: http://www.siliconera.com/2013/03/27/the-phantom-pain-and-metal-gear-solid-ground-zeroes-are-two-separate-games/ 
I saw another article, though I can't seem to retrieve it now. In it, Hideo Kojima confirmed that Metal Gear Solid 5 is not a game. It's a project composed of two games - MGS:Ground Zeroes and MGSV:The Phantom Pain. He did later say he was unsure of HOW they will be released, but he did also clarify that they're still two games. In addition, the official Metal Gear website still lists MGS:GZ and MGSV:TPP as two separate products.
Also remember that trailer confirming Metal Gear Solid V is NOT pronounced as Roman numeral 5, rather, the V is literally pronounced as letter V (the trailer flashed across words like "vapor, victory, V has come to", etc.
So with all this confirmed info, why is so much in this article inaccurate? 134340Goat (talk) 21:51, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain are NOT the same game 

message: Does anyone else feel like we can make a splinter page for Metal Gear Solid as a sub:series? In the same way that persona has its own article as sub series of megami tensei? Osh33m (talk) 16:40, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: A bit late, but not really. Mostly because the original Metal Gear series didn't continue after Metal Gear Solid, so Metal Gear Solid is basically the continuation of Metal Gear series. The only sub-series worth noting are Acid, Online and Rising. However, Online is the miltiplayer component of Solid and not really a seperate thing, while Acid and Rising aren't big enough to warrant their own sections/articles. Acid had two games in 2004 and 2005 and Rising was one game in 2013. In contrast, Persona has become a fully fledged series of its own with multiple installments and even spin-offs, while Megami Tensei also continued on its own with multiple installments.141.35.40.31 (talk) 11:36, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
