After awakening from a nine year coma, Big Boss forms a new mercenary group called, Diamond Dogs, and teams up with his former rival, Ocelot, to track down the men responsible for the destruction of MSF.
This movie contains 41 potentially triggering events.
One of Boss’s love interests that haunts him is a woman half his age. Not helped by the fact that when they first met she was an agent posing as an underage girl
[MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ENDING REVEAL]
While no actual blackface or anything of the like is done, there is a situation that can get a little complicated depending on how you customize the character in the opening. If you make him nonwhite, it at first could look like the white Venom Snake was about to undergo indentity-hiding surgery that would somehow make him look nonwhite... only for the game to turn around and reveal that the custom character was what he started out as. Meaning that instead, Venom was made to look white... somehow?
Baby Hal was smuggled out of the country and separated from his parents due to his mother being horrified at Huey trying to do experiments on him. Strangelove unfortunately dies and Hal is reunited with Huey offscreen after the events of the game where his childhood doesn’t improve from there
There is a cutscene where a child's precious item is nearly destroyed but another character is able to get it back for the kids, so there's a happy ending.
Yes. The undead villain rides a similarly undead horse. They both collapse after they loose the power keeping them alive.
The player's companion horse cannot die and will be automatically rescued if badly injured.
Only if the player decides to.
The optional dog companion can also be trained to fight enemies, though this isn't portrayed as damaging or stressful for the dog. Enemies may also fight back if attacked by him.
Possibly.
There is mention of a cat which was presumably on motherbase when it was destroyed. A character with amnesia wonders aloud where the cat is, which may be upsetting.
Yes!
A character has something placed in their vaginal cavity, which must then be painfully removed.
Several male soldiers have their genitals mutilated by someone they are implied to have assaulted.
Yes, there are many disturbing torture scenes that are majorly relevant to the story. Though these cutscenes can be skipped.
There is no torture that the player must play through, unlike other games in the franchise.
Yes! Many times during one episode. While it actually happens offscreen it is heard and the aftermath is clearly visible. This is also during an already distressing gameplay segment.
Yes. Multiple people are shown graphically taking their own lives to save those immediately surrounding them. Either because they are infected with a deadly disease or have a bomb planted on them.
Another character is claimed to have died by suicide but this turns out to be false.
A nonverbal character is discriminated against and people attempt to force her to speak because they believe she's hiding something. A paralyzed man has his mobility aid disabled and used against him on seperate instances. Both of these incidents are treated as acts of caloussness.
Quiet's outfit is pretty suggestive. If you don't like that you can unlock a more realistic military uniform called Grey XOF after your bond with her reaches a certain point.
A prisoner is graphically drowned by an enemy, however they are actually unharmed due to their superhuman abilities.
There are also multiple instances of waterboarding.
You get covered in blood as you get shot and there's plenty of gore in some of the cutscenes such as when the villain gets his limbs shot off so he can feel the same pain the protagonists felt.
