Hallo, I'm new here so forgive me if this is in the wrong place. I am so confused. In MGS3: Snake Eater, Big Boss could speak and understand Russian yet in the latest E3 gameplay footage, Big Boss has trouble understanding the Russian soldier he had taken hostage (which is why he needed to extract a Russian linguist). WHAAA? Edit: And what is GMP? (I seem to have $4). What can I do with it? Thank you. Edited by Screaming Crab, Jun 30 2015, 02:30:07 PM.

Look up what massive brain trauma does to a human and you'll understand. Big Boss has been stated to have forgotten many things including some of his past and memory |

It could be story related or it could be one of those "little retcons" Kojima talked about. (better this than a major plot point) Edited by Kelesis, Jun 30 2015, 04:19:33 PM.

You'd think he'd be the one taking care of motherbase etc. It was his job in previous games no? |

Ocelot is in charge of intel and Miller is in charge of base development. On topic, it's really a matter of placing gameplay ahead of story cohesion. While it's a little awkward that Snake forgets a language that he used to speak fluently, it makes for a very intuitive gameplay mechanic. |

Grab that cane, pop that vicoden and tell them bitches it's not lupus!

He doesn't speak it anymore because of brain trauma, being in a nine year coma and just not speaking it, anyone who knows a foreign language can tell you that if you don't actually use it frequently, you're going to forget it after a while. Ocelot doesn't translate for you because speaking a language and translating/interpreting are two entirely different skills, you could be fluent in a language but you wouldn't be able to interpret for someone on the spot. Miller doesn't translate for you because, as far as any of us know, he doesn't speak Russian or any other language outside of English and Japanese. |

I don't know about the first paragraph, maybe if you didn't get to a level of fluency. I won't ever forget the Portuguese I know, But then again I haven't been in a helicopter crash(just a car crash). And interpreting is only difficult if you aren't fluent in one of the languages.

Ocelot has better things to do than to sit and wait for Big Boss to interrogate guards one at a time. How long in Big Boss's deployments is he out and about? Is Ocelot supposed to put soldier training, Huey torturing, dog raising, sheep taming, and gun twirling aside just in case Big Boss decides to have a guard tell him where he stores his Hall and Oates cassettes? |

It's an academic gameplay mechanic. I bet you by the end he can speak Russian again
