A man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities.
Damn it Snake, yes you've killed people, yes you've done bad things, yes you had an incredible life that if someone lived it they might feel differently, but you 100% go down as a hero in my book.
The quote alone makes this game epic. One of the best line in mgs series....errr...wait....best line from the game industry....oh wait, it has become a norm among our generation.
Kojima is the man. A living gaming legend. Thanks for making a virtual gaming legend as well! XD
@system2chaos It doesn't have to be that way. Maybe a hero is someone who sees a kid being picked on in school for not wearing the right clothes. Maybe a hero is just a guy that holds a dying mans hand in comfort in their final moments on Earth. You do not necessarily have to save a life to be a hero; nor if you do save a life, it is not a qualifier to make you a hero. Sometimes, in order to be a hero, you must have to take a life as well.
i bought a ps3 3 years ago, and that was the first console i ever had. as a book lover, i never expected great stories out of games. the mainly reason for me to buy a ps3 was to have fun and shoot things in the face, but, however i came across MGS. let me say that i still get a shiver every time i hear these words in vid. thank you Hideo
Kojima really made you feel Snake's pain and trauma in his life. You aren't much of a hero when you've killed your own father, brother, and have fought aimlessly your entire life. The very fact that you were bred for war makes you more of a cold blooded killer than a hero. Heck, he was indirectly responsible for his mother's death. In that sense then, he isn't a hero.
Plus, I really enjoy how Kojima blurs the lines between hero and villain. It goes to show the impact of different perspectives
I don't think with these new generations of games coming out will I ever find a character and a series that will make me fall in love with it like MGS and Snake did.
HAHAHA HOLY CRAP! This cracks me up. "I'm no hero" even though he's saved the world from nuclear annihilation like 3 times. That's kind of the definition of a HERO! Geez Solid Snake is such an attention whore. First he puts himself down to get recognition by saying he's no hero, then he puts a gun in his mouth and acts like he's going to commit suicide. He might as well open up a myspace or facebook account while he's at it. The scene makes me laugh out loud. I LOVE MGS and I love snake.
@delta2ish Dude that is a hero! Doesn't matter the reasons he did it for, that makes him a hero. He sure as hell didn't get paid so it wasn't just a job. He does it because it's what he's good at and he's only one who can. Kind of like Superman. Snake is just guilty and doesn't fee he deserves to be called a hero because after all he is a murderer. That and the fact that he's an attention whore. LOL.
@LORDEZE7 No Superman was a hero because he did it in his free will, Spiderman is a hero because he did it in his free will, Batman is a hero because he does it in his free will. Snake is not a hero he is a assassin, A Soldier. And stop saying LOL everytime that makes you a attention whore
@delta2ish Snake isn't being forced to do anything. He's doing this as a favor and because he cares. He ain't even in Foxhound anymore, he went to the private sector with Otacon. Not to mention that all heroes eventually do stuff they don't want. Spiderman, superman, batman, they do it because they are the only ones who can, not because they always want to. That's what being a hero is, doing what others will not for the good of the people. Snake = attention whore.
@LORDEZE7 Yes but anyone can shoot a gun and kill someone but snake knew how to do it right. A hero is a unique human (or somone from the planet kripton)
@delta2ish Well isn't snake a unique human? I mean he is a clone from the greatest soldier Big Boss. He has taken down numerous Metal Gear models with his bare hands. He started Philanthropy with Otacon an organization dedicated to SAVING the world from Nuclear war. He's a hero. Not a SUPER hero but still a hero. He's just too guilty to admit it. All the murder will do that. He's kind of like the firefighters during 9/11, he's saved lives.
@LORDEZE7 , Snake went into hiding and decided to keep his identity secret because (implied) he didn't want it to go get in the way of the Plant Incident. That said, that's the opposite of attention-whoring, he's very introverted for the most part
@Momentum139 That's true. But you gotta admit that in MGS4 he was coming off as a bit of an attention whore with the whole fake suicide and I'm no hero speeches. I like to imagine that's how it is. :)
@delta2ish We were there, we saw it. Snake knows he's in a game and he's vying for our attention. Snake and Otacon have broken the 4th wall numerous times.
Depends on your definition of a hero. Do you think Batman/Superman/Rorschach/Spawn/Spider Man represent a true "hero"? Batman represents a corrupted dark side that will never break a code of iron, Superman is an all-around good wall of justice, Rorschach is the manifestation of killing intent provoked to the "greater, self-defined good", Spawn is a cold-stone "nice guy", and Spider Man is a "do what I can" kind of hero.
Snake is the greatest video game character of all time. There is no video game character as developed and well written. Not even close. (Okay maybe Big Boss).
lol this scene is so soap opera-esque.
