<p>The idea to write this MGSV analysis took its time to come to me, or maybe it was me who wasted time wandering from articles to videos, from forums to discussions. If the game left me with a bitter taste when it was released, it&rsquo;s because one thing is certain: V is hard to understand. A lot of cut content, a divisive ending, a parallel story, an air of pretence, a feeling of unfinished business… Finally, we have to admit that the game « suffers » from an uncompromising approach from Hideo Kojima. I say suffers because this game is often mentioned as a good game but a bad Metal Gear. I&rsquo;ve been holding this speech for a long time but I could never get out of it.</p>



<p>The mystery of this attraction could lie in this tweet:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>However, the illusion fades, the sight clears, the game slowly reveals its secrets. A lot of studies about it but also around it. Finally, it seemed obvious to me that toHowever, the illusion is resorbed, the view becomes clearer, the game gives up its secrets, slowly. With a lot of studies about it but also around it. Finally, it seemed obvious to me that in order to give back to this game the genius that inhabits it, I would have to understand its title. So I will try to give you an interpretation of the phantom pain and its therapy applied to the game.</p>



<p>The article is very descriptive at the beginning to explain the story and mechanics of the game but I hope you will read well until the end which talks more about the themes and concepts.</p>



<p>Given that the game was released in 2015, it goes without saying that what is written here will necessarily echo other articles or videos, but I want to assure you of the sincerity of my vision when I write these lines. I would like to thank all those who have contributed to shedding light on the shadows, those who have tried to transmit knowledge and explanations. I hope not to betray you and to pay tribute to you through my words. To contribute in my turn to this great exchange of points of view. I like the idea that « 1000 generations of Jedi live through me » but also that I live in the words of others in the same way, in an infinite spiral in search of meaning.</p>



<p>I obviously can&rsquo;t name you all but thank you.</p>



<p>Finally, it goes without saying that <strong>everything will be spoiled,</strong> <strong>sometimes even other games in the series</strong> , and that you should read these lines in your good conscience.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-94b26f563efcc26844c91bc315e5d67a">Phantom pain</h2>



<p>To put it in perspective, phantom pain is a medical term that appears to have appeared in the 16th century through the observations of Ambroise Paré. However, the first person to provide a clinical description was Sylas Weir Mitchell in 1871. The phenomenon is described as <strong>a pain felt on an amputated limb, a lost limb, </strong>which thus becomes a ghost for the patient. Indeed, the disappearance of the nerve endings does not suppress the neuronal connections, the brain continues to maintain an electrical activity on the areas of the brain that contribute to the nervous return of the lost limb. We therefore have two different levels of information:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Nervous information:</strong> the limb no longer exists, it no longer sends a signal</li>



<li><strong>N<strong><strong>euronal information:</strong> </strong></strong>the brain still has the area linked to the lost limb, which is electrically active</li>
</ul>

<p>The duality of information generates the pain that patients experience. A tingling sensation on missing limbs. On the other hand it is good to note that <strong>this feeling (between hallucination and cognitive automatisms) disappears with time as the image of the body is reconstructed, as the new physical limits of the body are accepted.</strong></p>



<p>The resulting treatment consists of <strong>mirror therapy</strong> which aims to give the brain the illusion (by visual feedback) that the limb still exists by placing a mirror in front of the existing limb (from the patient&rsquo;s point of view he sees two limbs) : <a href="https://www.sciencesetavenir.fr/videos/la-therapie-miroir-cest-quoi_kffl3z" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">https://www.sciencesetavenir.fr/videos/la-therapie-miroir-cest-quoi_kffl3z</mark></a></p>

<p>Venom Snake is the character that the player embodies in MGSV. Following an accident in 1975, V spent almost nine years in a coma. He wakes up in 1984 bedridden in a hospital. Everything is blurred and before finding strength, a second shock will send him back to the bottom of his bed: The accident deprived him of an arm and filled his body with multiple foreign bodies. Teeth, bones, metal… including a massive chunck in his frontal lobe which presses his optic nerve, source of visual alterations for him.</p>



<p>Venom thus carries with him, permanently, pieces of his old friends but also the history of this incident.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img width="789" height="441" data-attachment-id="6932" data-permalink="https://light01c.fr/analyse-mgsv-la-therapie-du-miroir/snake_phantompain/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/snake_phantompain.jpg?fit=789%2C441&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="789,441" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="snake_phantompain" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/snake_phantompain.jpg?fit=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/snake_phantompain.jpg?fit=789%2C441&amp;ssl=1"  alt="Metal Gear Solid V" class="wp-image-6932 lws-optimize-lazyload"/ data-src="https://light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/snake_phantompain.jpg" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/snake_phantompain.jpg?w=789&amp;ssl=1 789w, https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/snake_phantompain.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/snake_phantompain.jpg?resize=768%2C429&amp;ssl=1 768w" sizes="(max-width: 789px) 100vw, 789px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Venom wakes up, has to learn to walk again and begins crawling.<br>Here we can see the lense-flare effects that symbolize Venom&rsquo;s blurred vision.</em></figcaption></figure>



<p>The first phantom pain that the player will face, through Venom, will be physical and translated by an absent gameplay, a gameplay that the player possess in himself without being able to exploit it.</p>



<p>Following the attack on the hospital by an armed group, Snake is left on his own and unable to escape. Whether it is through the first person staging or through various lense-flare effects (which sometimes mark the hazy mind of Venom, sometimes the pain he undergoes) everything is done to give the player the feeling of being overwhelmed by events. Nothing is going right, everything is out of control and moving too fast for a character who has neither the strength to defend himself nor a clear enough mind to distinguish reality from illusions. It will take the help of a mysterious character named Ishmael and a shot of Dygoxyne to get the machine going.</p>



<p>So we start by crawling… slowly… We waddle more than anything in fact. The gameplay is very basic: we advance in a corridor made of hexagon tiles. As for the phantom pain that fades with time, Venom gradually regains control of his body and we can crawl on all fours and then finally stand up. The reconnection is made and the player recovers the ability to sneak around that created the genre over thirty years ago.</p>



<p><strong>We have, through these progressive steps, recovered the gameplay of the series</strong> which ends with the obtention of a weapon and a room to try it out. The player has thus reactivated his muscle memory at the same time as Venom and the phantom pain linked to the gameplay fades away, Snake is back.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a4d0fe8820adbf7351201c55c8bab961">Now go! Let the legend come back to life!</h2>



<p>Memories are still hazy for Venom who hallucinates a burning whale sweeping the militia helicopter that chases him. An echo to Moby Dick, a king of vision of the future in the form of a reference to the book.</p>

<p>After Ishmael&rsquo;s disappearance, Venom crosses paths with Ocelot. He is completely lost. The urgency to escape from his attackers pushes him to trust the man who wants to help him.</p>

<p>During the journey between Cyprus and Afghanistan, Ocelot will brief Venom on the milestones of those years in a coma. <strong>Nine years have contributed to the legend, from realities to rumors, exaggerations to interpretations.</strong></p>

<p>It seems that the world would have preferred Big Boss dead. To defend himself and survive he will have to rebuild his militia. His first task, after obtaining <strong>a bionic left arm</strong> , will be to free Kazuhira Miller, <strong>his former right arm</strong> &#8230; Ironic.</p>

<p>Rebuild and take revenge on those who took everything from this private military group: Diamonds Dogs was born from the ashes of MSF. The goal is simple: To grow just to fight Cipher, led by Zero, and take revenge for the events of Ground Zeroes. But let&rsquo;s start by having a look back at these events since they are at the origin of everything on many levels.</p>

<p>The 1975 events follow almost directly the end of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker.</p>



<p>Paz, a triple agent (CIA, KGB, Cipher), is found adrift in the Caribbean waters and finds herself detained at Camp Omega, under the control of the US army, controlled by Cipher. The detention center is part of a very confidential list of Black Sites. Clandestine prisons controlled by the CIA but outside the of the United States jurisdiction. <strong>Detention and interrogation procedures are therefore outside the United States federal judicial system. So let&rsquo;s say that prisoners have almost no rights and do not exist in the eyes of the world.</strong></p>



<p>These black sites pose an ethical problem and Ground Zeroes speaks very well about it. <strong>This camp echoes very coldly to the detention center of Guantánamo</strong> , in Cuba, mainly known for having locked up suspects linked to the attacks of 9/11 on the World Trade Center. These attacks were claimed by Al-Qaeda whose leader is none other than Osama bin Laden. The history of this camp will however remain <strong>a murky area for the rights of prisoners and the ethical definition of the means necessary to fight terrorism.</strong> Ground Zeroes deploys the complete panoply: Rape, physical torture, psychological torture, murders, detention in cages, harsh interrogations,…Many things make us uncomfortable in this prequel to The Phantom Pain. Let&rsquo;s remember that Paz is in her twenties and that Chico is only a teenager at this time. A situation which, again, evokes the reality of the <strong><a href="https://www.unicef.fr/article/pour-la-liberation-des-enfants-prisonniers-de-guantanamo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><span style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"></span></a></strong><a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=fr&amp;tl=en&amp;ajax=1&amp;elem=1&amp;se=1&amp;u=https://www.unicef.fr/article/pour-la-liberation-des-enfants-prisonniers-de-guantanamo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">detention of children on this site</mark></a>.</p>

<p>Captured and tortured, Paz will be regularly interrogated and Chico, a child saved by Big Boss in Peace Walker, will try to rescue her. I want to write that it goes wrong! That would be an understatement! He gets caught and will be used to torture Paz psychologically and vice versa. I told you above that the site is supervised by the CIA and thus falls into the invisible nets of Cipher. A man within this organization intervenes on the site to get the answer to a question: Where is Zero?</p>



<p>Paz, a Cipher agent, is the last person who have met with him. <strong>Zero hides himself at the head of a complex system of intermediaries, each communicating information to others but not knowing each other. </strong>A system which slowly extends its <strong>control over the American institutions</strong> in the shadows thanks to the almost infinite funds recovered during Operation Snake Eater in 1964. The name of this invisible octopus? Cipher. This is how he protects his identity, but it is also his loophole. No one really knows who is receiving or giving the information. Paz, however, has met him and Skullface, using unethical methods, obtains his position. Two important facts to note as a result:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Chico sends a distress call to Big Boss and asks him to rescue him.</li>



<li>Skullface “traps” Paz by placing 2 bombs in her body… yes… in her body!</li>
</ul>



<p>The story will take a dramatic turn when Skullface, under the cover of an inspection by the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), will blow up MSF while Big Boss is in a rescue operation for Paz and Chico.</p>



<p>Several important points here:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Inspection is a set-up, IAEA will deny that any inspection had to take place</li>



<li>Huey Emmerich decided on his own to accept the inspection because, by hiding their nuclear weapon under water, it would allow them to be clean in the eyes of the world.</li>



<li>Kaz was against this plan and Big Boss too, but it was already in motion. Big Boss decides to validate the work to hide the Metal Gear Zeke.</li>



<li>Skullface acts under the control of XOF at Camp Omega but removes the logo on the helicopters and badges on its soldiers. The group then becomes anonymous while they attack MSF.</li>



<li>MSF is a Private Military Company (PMC) without a nation. It is therefore an “on demand” military strike force. A useful group for many covert operations in various countries but also a source of concern when their capabilities are unknown or, on the contrary, revealed. The ideal being that they remain in the shadows.</li>
</ul>



<p>The base is reduced to ashes but the final blow is dealt to MSF when Paz, throwing herself into the ocean, explodes in flight, sending Big Boss&rsquo;s helicopter to crash down and leaving its occupants for dead. A macabre plan whose <strong>smoke and helicopters were visible from the coast and began to raise questions in public opinion.</strong></p>

<p><strong>It should therefore be remembered that the event put the United States in a fairly complex situation to manage and turned public opinion towards subjects that they prefer to keep in silence</strong> <strong>: Black Sites</strong>, <strong>PMCs, the treatment of prisoners of war</strong>, <strong>nuclear weapons owned by private military companies, etc.</strong> The IAEA and the UN had to write an official statement in order not to get splashed. Some countries preferred to restrict the informations circulating.</p>



<p>1975 is the starting point of a real explosion whose shock wave is both physical and political. Ground Zeroes evokes several epicenters because it is written in plural. Indeed it is the starting point of a process which takes place at both the level of Men (all the protagonists will be affected) and Nations. This title also has a meaning that we will cover to much later.</p>



<p>We have a glimpse here of the idea behind the sentence of mission 46 ironically called Truth.</p>

<p>If facts tell us that MSF, the discreet armed wing of various secret interests, is the victim of an attack on the part of XOF, Skullface. History will wirte in the books and press that it was a vendetta between two military powers suspected of holding a nuclear warhead. The facts are therefore interpreted under the sole prism of the information available. But you will see later that it all goes much further and that The Phantom Pain connects its wagons very well with an old theme already addressed in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of liberty: information control.</p>



<p>On these basis, the Diamond Dogs, in 1984, will seek revenge based on the only data they have: What organization is capable of building a false inspection from IAEA? Who can know Big Boss and Miller to the point of making such a precise plan? What is the only link between Paz and MSF? You have it in miles: CIPHER. A shapeless hydra that extends its control over the world a little more each day.</p>

<p>A mutilated Venom therefore finds a mutilated Kaz too. A pain lives in them that will not disappear, the loss of their men and some of their limbs. This will be <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">the fuel for Kaz&rsquo;s revenge</span></strong> but the bedrock of <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">Venom&rsquo;s intentions</span></strong>. Two quite distinct motivations that we do not necessarily perceive at first glance. Especially if like me you experienced the communication around The Phantom Pain as being <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">The fall of Big Boss</span></strong>, the missing link. Two hazy areas that we have trouble seeing after a first completion of the game.</p>



<p>If these notions are today laughed at by a lot of disappointed fans of the game, I think I would be able to show them that everything is there but not as we expected, and above all that it brings a lot to the saga and, in prime, that their reaction was expected or even sought. But I will explain this later.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b97491263a881caabd07973459efddfd">Afghanistan is a big place!</h2>



<p>If Venom walks through the back door into Afghanistan on the back of his horse, we&rsquo;re going to have to step back to contextualize and talk about it more broadly. I will not retrace the entire history of the Cold War between the United States of America and its allies, the capitalist western bloc, against the USSR and its allies, the communist eastern bloc. I&rsquo;m just going to clear few things.</p>



<p>This showdown began at the end of the Second World War and ended with the fall of the communist regimes around 1989. It should be noted that it is probably G. Orwell who democratized the use of the term “Cold war” in an essay titled <a href="https://translate.google.com/website?sl=fr&amp;tl=en&amp;ajax=1&amp;elem=1&amp;se=1&amp;u=https://orwell.ru/library/articles/ABomb/english/e_abomb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color"><em>You and the atomic bomb</em> published in 1945 in the London Tribune newspaper.</mark></a> The remote confrontation has many effects on the world at several levels: politic, economic, cultural, sport, scientific,… <strong>It is above all a huge period of military and nuclear deterrence, of the arms race which constrains the blocs not to confront each other directly and to deport the conflict to other areas of the world.</strong></p>



<p>What interests us is the context in which the plot of The Phantom Pain will unfold. The Afghan revolution in 1978 and the seizure of power by the People&rsquo;s Democratic Party of Afghanistan established the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. A civil war breaks out between the power supported by the USSR and the Islamists. However, the forces of the power in place are quickly overwhelmed. In 1979 the Soviets intervened to avoid the collapse of the regime they supported by declaring to act for the maintenance of peace in Central Asia.</p>



<p>The risk was in fact too big to see Afghanistan come under Islamist influence and see Chinese or American military bases pop up. Tanks against soldiers armed with rifles on horses. Although on paper the fight seems unfair, the Islamist resistance, by declaring this fight as a “Jihad” (a holy war) galvanizes its troops who organize themselves in guerrillas in a war of attrition. <strong>United States, through Jimmy Carter, seizes this opportunity by providing logistical support to Mujahideens </strong>(Operation Cyclone) which will keep an asymmetrical war going far too long. A Soviet “Vietnam war” of sort which will largely contribute to the fall of the Soviet Union at the end of the day. The United States obviously cannot get directly involved in this conflict and this is where PMC makes sense.</p>



<p>The first thing to understand is why Kazuhira is being held prisoner by the Soviet army in Afghanistan. He and his team were training the Mujahideens as CIA intermediaries so as not to involve them. In comparison, it was during this period that Osama bin Laden organized the departure for Jihad fighters from multiple countries towards the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan where they would be trained and armed by the ISI (Pakistan&rsquo;s intelligence agency) but largely funded by the United States and placed under CIA&rsquo;s logistic. <strong>This parallel is interesting because it was in this very spot, on what Ocelot calls the Zero Line, that Miller and his team were training the fighters.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c595e5ef1ced22bb7079b1a1fd7acb7c"><blockquote><p><strong>Ocelot:</strong> [&#8230;] The Hamid fighters get generous support from the Pakistani government. The government wants to use them to secure influence over Afghanistan. Their liaison with the Hamids is Inter-Service Intelligence. And behind the ISI, you have the CIA. That&rsquo;s probably how the Honey Bee ended up in the Hands of the Hamid men.</p><cite>The Hamid Fighters &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>The Skulls intervened there to decimate his team and take him prisoner. But what is difficult to say is for what purpose?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e248531ead9df53f0e005edf4f06e8af"><blockquote><p><strong>Snake:</strong> Why&rsquo;d they come after you?<br><strong>Miller:</strong> Wish I knew. I&rsquo;m the only one who survived. Though I don&rsquo;t think they planned it that way. If I was their target, they wouldn&rsquo;t have just handed me over to the 40th Army. Whatever the case, we need to watch our step until we know who they really are. And Boss, if you ever do run into them again, don&rsquo;t try to take them on. You just get the hell outta there.</p><cite>The Mist Unit &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Quite simply, the task force that chased Snake to the hospital failed in its mission. The only option to get him out again is to capture his old friend and wait for him to show up. This is the reason why the Skulls unit emerges immediately after picking up Miller: they come to finish their job, kill Big Boss.</p>



<p>The second thing to understand in MGSV is that <strong>you are acting as an intermediary for various interests.</strong> You will often be employed by the CIA, the Mujahideens and even regularly by Cipher themselves. More ironically by XOF through Cipher.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b228a755136653f0e556b72bee09a110"><blockquote><p><strong>Benedict « Kazuhira » Miller:</strong> [&#8230;] Whatever happened, the Soviets have invaded the area and are searching for this Western weapon tech.

<p>The importance of understanding this subtlety is that <strong>your goals are dictated by your employer.</strong> When you say that you have to understand that you will only have his version and that by carrying out the mission to the letter, sometimes (regularly in fact), <strong>you will be able to realize that there is a manipulation coming from him.</strong> Here I will refer you to a very cool video made by Keyser44Soze which retraces the story of mission 3: A hero&rsquo;s way.</p>

<p>Thus, silencing this commander mainly serves the cause of those who destroyed the village of Da Smasei Laman and the group of Mujahideen fighters there: the Hamid fighters. If you killed this soldier during your game I hope you will enjoy this information.</p>



<p>An interesting point to note here is also how Kojima plays with his fans by titling his mission “A Hero&rsquo;s way”. The player, and especially the fan who expects Big Boss to fall, thinks of himself as the hero of the story by carrying out his mission. As if the hero&rsquo;s way is dramatic, which is supported by Miller&rsquo;s phrase in the briefing: “ <em>Nothing personal. We&rsquo;re only doing this because it gets us one step closer to our goal</em> “. On the other hand, under the light of the video, we finally understand that the hero is rather the commander, the target of the mission, and that it is his morality, his will to spare civilians which is actually “the hero&rsquo;s way”.</p>



<p>On the other hand, it should be understood that nothing is always all black or all white in MGSV. <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">If this soldier finds the honor of saving civilians</span>,</strong> he is nonetheless <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">a pivot of the Soviet scorched earth policy</span>.</strong> <strong>A tactic that aims to literally leave nothing exploitable after their passage: houses, resources, infrastructure, arable land is mined, etc. </strong>Although this soldier has a certain morality, he nevertheless contributes to stoking the fire which <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">pushes civilians to leave their lands and the resistance fighters to take revenge.</span></strong> <strong>The captured Soviet soldiers are left in agony, feet, hands and noses cut off:</strong> <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">a message for the Soviet soldiers still in office who in turn will burn other villages… and so on.</span></strong></p>



<p>Come to think of it, the Diamond Dogs are like this soldier: ethics is one thing, but it doesn&rsquo;t break the cycle.</p>



<p>Anyway the questions remain, who hired us and why?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-290e505d7e2d29a83bcdf4a7d4ed0459">Skullface&rsquo;s testings in Afghanistan</h2>



<p>If I have developed a lot of the story by navigating at the rhythm of the missions until now, it was in order to understand the mechanics of this game between information and manipulation. We will now develop what occupied XOF in Afghanistan.</p>



<p>Skullface has used Afghanistan as a test site for its parasites. In order to ensure that they work under all circumstances, they are deployed on sites that are meticulously selected according to several criteria:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Various climatic conditions (Afghanistan, Africa are mentioned in the game)</li>



<li>Several languages must be used on the area to confirm the good targeting of the language</li>



<li>Low population density to ensure control over the spread of the epidemic</li>
</ul>



<p>Afghanistan is built on a tribal society with diverse languages and cultures. Pashtuns, Tajiks, Uzbeks,… The conditions being met, XOF proceeded to the test on the Hamid fighters. The test was a success, the occupants of the fort of Da Smasei Laman disappeared without leaving any trace of fighting. The fuzzy rumor spreads that these Mujahideen succumbed following a new scorched earth operation under the orders of the commander of mission 3: A hero&rsquo;s way. However, XOF cannot afford to let this soldier answer for his non-guilt nor to intervene directly. Through the system of intermediaries the contract ends up in the hands of Diamond Dogs to silence the commander.</p>



<p>However, the Hamid fighters were also secretly aided by the CIA against the formidable Soviet helicopters. The latter had an experimental weapon of American manufacture: the Honey Bee. The rumor of the disappearance of the Hamid fighters intrigued the Red Army, which invested the fort in search of the technology that had decimated the occupants. The risk for the CIA was that the Soviets would stumble upon Honey Bee and prove their support to the Mujahideen, but also that the technology would be sold and end up against their own units on other fronts. So they contact Diamond Dogs to retrieve the experimental weapon from Fort Smasei.</p>



<p><strong>Venom and his group spend their time chasing Cipher&rsquo;s trail</strong> and surviving XOF&rsquo;s murder attempts <strong>without ever managing to figure out what&rsquo;s going on</strong>. The arrival of a character on the Mother Base will allow us to dive a little further into one of the fundamental concepts of the game and to switch to the African track.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ec27cc905f3805a60c01de20f3361180">The witness: the parasite of American exceptionalism</h2>



<p>When the mission arrives in the hands of Diamond Dogs, it is a revenge-hungry Kaz who asks us to go and retrieve the scientist who wants to go back to the West. Huey Emmerich, the instigator of the IAEA visit is the target of this rescue mission. He is the one who opened the door to the Trojan Horse and condemned MSF to disappear in 1975. <strong>One of the characteristics of this character is that he acts as a mirror for Diamond Dogs.</strong> Huey is a scientist, a civilian, which allows him to have an external point of view and, symbolically, each of his interventions will serve to define Diamond Dogs from the eye of the public opinion of the United States, as <strong>a witness of their actions seen by the American prism.</strong></p>



<p>Seen in this light, it is not surprising to discover that Huey was supposed to be Ishmael in the first versions of the game. Indeed, in Moby Dick, Ishmael is the witness of Ahab&rsquo;s adventure, of his quest for revenge, but also the one who narrates the story. <strong>A story seen from the point of view of a civilian biased by the ideology that defines his country: American Exceptionalism.</strong></p>

<p>American exceptionalism is an ideology that stems from the idea of <strong>Manifest Destiny</strong> that emerged in the late 19th century. Manifest Destiny is the thought that the United States has a divine mission to bring civilization to the West. An idea that can be found in Death Stranding (Kojima&rsquo;s latest game) in the form of Sam Porter&rsquo;s main mission.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bc78c9bb3320f014bbb352e2d869811e"><blockquote><p><strong>Die-Hardman:</strong> Sam, we want you to go west and finish what Amelie started. The people she left behind have been hard at work setting up chiral network terminals. But these terminals are still isolated. We need you to bring them online. And for that, you’ll need a Q-pid.</p><cite>Die-Hardman&rsquo;s briefing &#8211; Death Stranding</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>American exceptionalism is the idea that the special position they hold among nations is due to the fact that the country, the first modern democracy, was built by immigrants. Thus, the structure of their institutions is the result of opportunities and ideals and not constructions like social classes or simple products of history. <strong>The very nature of their democracy would thus be the origin of the ambition, a destiny, to propagate it in the world as a source of civilization, freedom and justice.</strong></p>



<p><strong>Huey Emmerich, born in this system of thought, would be the representative </strong>of this ideology on board the Mother Base. Firstly, he would bring an external eye to the actions of Diamond Dogs, to present them as <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">murderers or as a threat to peace</span></strong> <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">as holders of nuclear weapons.</span></strong> Secondly, it also allows to represent the <strong>shortcomings of the said ideology which justifies all its actions as right or as the good choice to be made while denying the reality of its acts.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b1a6bfc971d85fd534c75604e4cfee7e"><blockquote><p><strong>Ocelot: </strong>You&rsquo;re still happy now&#8230; changing your lies to suit the listener and slipping by through the cracks. Building layer upon layer of convenient stories until nothing means anything to you anymore. You&rsquo;re happy all the time&#8211;because you don&rsquo;t even notice you&rsquo;re doing it. Think hard. Who are you, really? You&rsquo;re not the victim and you&rsquo;re not the silent majority. You&rsquo;re a perpetrator and a petty hypocrite. <strong>The real world doesn&rsquo;t make you suffer, it&rsquo;s the other way around!</strong></p><cite>Cooperating with Eli &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Historically and symbolically, Huey is the only former member of MSF to have lost nothing in the 1975 accident. Even worse, <strong>he contrasts directly with the pain of Kaz and Venom by having regained the use of his legs</strong> thanks to his work. The only losses he suffers during the game are related to his direct choices: StrangeLove&rsquo;s murder, the loss of his son who is taken from him by Skullface to whom he naively opened the door of MSF, his exile from the mother base which follows the manipulation of the parasites (basis of mission 43: Shining lights, even in death),…</p>



<p>Huey is troubling to the player because he brings up issues from a common sense, civilian perspective. He points out our actions, our image and the implications of our actions as seen by society, by civilians. The player, Ahab, the self-proclaimed hero of this story, will tend not to conform and will therefore develop a hatred for Huey and point out his lies. <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">The player will hate him and justify his actions by rejecting the civilian point of view because he feels he is on the side of good.</span></strong> This process shows just how much of what Huey represents has infiltrated into each of us, into the player&rsquo;s own thought system. This unquestionable fact gives a new dimension to the objectives of Skullface.</p>



<p>Of course, the idea is not that all players will have the same reaction to this phenomenon, but the game is primarily aimed at those who side with the Diamond Dogs, and everything is done to that end. <strong>As players have a varying desire for revenge, Miller&rsquo;s character design, his unrelenting desire for revenge, will be used in a way that drives them in terms of involvement.</strong></p>



<p>If we take the idea of treating phantom pain through mirror therapy, Kojima uses Emmerich as a mirror for the player. The player will be able to identify the mechanisms that he applies to defend himself and feel right. Venom, on the other hand, does not react like his peers. <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">By accepting to face the facts, by freeing himself from the idea of fairness and by deciding to let Huey live</span></strong>, Snake takes the player against the grain and, by this phenomenon of dissociation, allows him<strong> to step back to think of the reason why Venom makes this choice.</strong></p>

<p><strong>These sought-after micro-disconnections between avatar and user</strong>, which constitute Venom&rsquo;s demon nature, <strong>are Kojima&rsquo;s way of intriguing the player about his own reaction to the trial.</strong> By redefining its contours (as in the mirror therapy) the player can go beyond his original intentions and realize that he himself is « infected » by this thought pattern.</p>

<p>Finally, Huey turns out not to be Ishmael for a simple reason. By representing the United States in a cold war context, he also represents Ahab against Moby Dick, USA versus USSR. In the same way that the USSR also represents Ahab against Moby Dick, USSR versus USA. The theme of revenge thus takes on a rather disturbing reverse of one Ahab against another or Moby Dick against another who mutilate each other in an endless cycle. We must remember here the idea of « just cause ». <strong>Each side believes itself to be virtuous and just in its judgment in order to apply it unconditionally.</strong></p>



<p>Ahab is the player in Venom (mainly the one who feels the need for revenge) and the doctor in Venom tries to calm him down, to chase that nature away.</p>

<p>The arrival on board of Emmerich will quickly propel the group on the African track. The missing link of their inverstigation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e9cb3353edb2a9faffd3cdab28defdbf">Africa: the missing link</h2>



<p>Although I could talk here about the geopolitical situation in Africa as we did with Afghanistan, discussing how the continent is at the mercy of various interests that profit from civil wars or generate conflicts in order to intervene and plunder resources. I would not do so in order to shorten the article. The subject would be worth an article by itself as the situation is sadly complex. I hope to have given you a vision on how MGSV tells its story and its geopolitics so that you can take over yourself. So I will quickly summarize the main plot in Africa in order to get to the points that interest us in this article.</p>



<p>The first mission we receive in Angola concerns a pumping station. An oil leak occurs at the Mfinda oil field contaminating the river nearby. An NGO asks us to intervene to stop it. These premises had been abandoned for many years but UNITA recently took control of them. Kaz warns us that it seems that UNITA is receiving support from the United States and that it is possible that we can trace the attack to Cipher.</p>



<p>On the way Venom has to pass through Bwala ya masa, a nearby village that borders the river. First encounter with child soldiers. Once past the village you will come across burnt out houses and a still smoldering mass grave before finally reaching the Mfinda station. The problem is that once the pump is stopped, bodies come to the surface.</p>



<p>We will learn later from Code Talker that Skullface used the area around Bwala ya masa as a test area for its parasites targeting the Kikongo language. But this time the test conditions defined above were not really met. Being a densely populated area, containing the epidemic becomes very problematic. What had to happen happened, the epidemic spread and to contain it XOF burned the area (remember the mass grave) but it was not enough. The larvae of the parasites started to spread through the river contaminating the village downstream. So XOF reactivated the Mfinda station to pollute the water in order to dissuade the population from consuming it.</p>



<p>However, <strong>as a player you have just destroyed the station…</strong> This is what will later lead to mission 23: White Mamba, a mission in which Eli takes the lead of an army of children after the disappearance of the adults.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3c2bd9b7016f4ee2fec7210bf6b0f447"><blockquote><p><strong>Benedict « Kazuhira » Miller:</strong> Boss, the CFA soldiers deployed to Bwala ya Masa have been annihilated. There are no signs of combat, nor any endemic disease. All the adults just&#8230; disappeared. [&#8230;]</p><cite>mission 23 briefing: White Mamba &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>By removing the pump, the water became drinkable again. The population started drinking and the parasite spread. <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">Diamond Dogs is thus involuntarily responsible for the disappearance of the inhabitants of Bwala ya masa</span></strong> at this stage of the adventure. But why are only the children left?</p>



<p>You have to go back to Mission 20: Voices to understand this. <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">The children of the mine that Venom saves</span></strong> hire you to go and rescue their leader, Shabani, the oldest among them. Shabani has been sent to Nzo ya badiabulu, the devil&rsquo;s house, an area that terrifies the local population because those who are taken there do not come back.</p>

<p>Shabani is in the middle of adolescence, puberty makes his voice change and his vocal cords allow the parasite to nestle there. Thus the « healthy » children did not present any symptoms because they did not reach puberty but <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">they are the ones who contaminated the adults on Mother Base without knowing it.</span></strong></p>



<p>We learn in Africa that Skullface seeks to create parasites capable of destroying a host speaking a targeted language. An epidemic weapon that can make a language disappear very quickly by killing its hosts. But for what purpose?</p>



<p>Mission 15: Footprints of phantoms sends us on a quest to find Walker Gears. A bipedal weapon that offers a tactical advantage in a variety of terrain. The problem is that these prototypes are sold in the East and West to PMCs working for both UNITA (União Nacional para a Independência Total de Angola) and MPLA (Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola). It seems that Cipher distributes this prototype on the battlefields regardless of the alignment within this cold war. A suspicious decision that raises questions.</p>



<p>Diamond Dogs traces the trail and discovers that in compensation for these Walker Gears, Cipher is getting paid in minerals containing traces of uranium and archaeal metal. I won&rsquo;t go into all the details. These two components allow Skullface to sell nuclear weapons in kit form that he controls remotely. Thus he is able to flood the world with nuclear weapons and Africa was his testing ground.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a8a4691ec80abb410f5a2bbe8bac4472">Skullface: the faceless revenge</h2>



<p>Once all the tests are completed, the last step for him is to light the flame that will set the world on fire. Although the Sahelanthropus is technically inoperable, his plan is to show it in broad daylight on an Afghan battlefield to stir up fear. A new bipedal weapon prototype straight out of the Soviet secret bases would quickly bring the Western bloc to a state of high alert. The nuclear arms race would be resumed and would allow the Soviet Union to supply its kits en masse. A world flooded with nuclear weapons, not reserved for nations, but for any group, PMC, militias,…</p>



<p>At the same time Skullface aimed at eradicating the English language and his diagnosis is the following: America pretends to be a melting pot, a place of ethnic and cultural mixes constituting a united people. In fact it is a Salad Bowl, a place where cultures and ethnic groups mix very little and live side by side. The link between these groups is the English language. This lingua franca keeps the society in symbiosis. <strong>Since America was born of immigration, since it manages to maintain this symbiosis and maintain its rank among the nations of the world, it is able to do the same with the world. This, according to Skullface, is the basis of American exceptionalism.</strong></p>



<p>His ambition was to destroy the English language in order to destroy American cohesion, to isolate again the ethnic and cultural groups within the United States. But also <strong>to remove the hold of American imperialism on the world.</strong></p>

Those using the power of language to control information.</strong> Naturally, that set his sights on Zero. To Zero, English was simply the most convenient code, but to Skull Face, English was a parasite&#8230; and by eradicating it, he&rsquo;d stop the world from being eaten away. If that didn&rsquo;t work, he was ready to see the world scorched by nuclear fire. <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>To save language, culture, and race from annihilation,</strong></span> <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>he was willing to overstep the hands of the Doomsday Clock</strong></span>; that is, of course, if you believe <em>anything </em>he had to say.</p><cite>The Target of Skull Face&rsquo;s Revenge &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Skullface considers that unifying the world requires strengthening cultures. If Zero seeks to make it a melting pot united under a system of information and language control, Skullface seeks to make it a Salad Bowl free of American imperialism.<strong> Without a lingua franca the world will once again be in a state of observation, division and the search for nuclear deterrence will create the status quo through the threat of retaliation.</strong> This is his way of interpreting the vision of The Boss.</p>



<p><strong>This character alone embodies the idea of the cycle of revenge.</strong> He is a pure product of war and geopolitical interests. He was born in Transylvania shortly after it was returned to Hungary in 1940 following the second Vienna arbitration. Nazi Germany aimed to weaken Romania, which was waging a « cold war » against it, by allowing Hungary to annex Transylvania, but the failure of negotiations led Berlin and Rome to impose the decision. Hungary, in order to obtain the favors of the Reich, declared war on the USSR on June 27, 1941 with nearly 200,000 men who joined the Eastern Front. The debacle of the battle of Stalingrad in 1943 made them leave the war. In 1944, Hungary was one of the last allies of the Reich, which tried at all costs to maintain this alliance in order to benefit from its wealth, but especially its oil refineries.</p>



<p>That same year, the Allies retook the base at Foggia, which exposed Hungarian territory to American bombing, and in October the USSR completely invaded Transylvania. This invasion led to the battle of Budapest, which allowed the USSR to place a political pawn at the head of the country in the person of Béla Miklós. Supported by the Soviets, he signed the armistice in 1945, thus declaring war on the Reich.</p>

<p>In this war, Skullface will lose everything as a child. <strong>His body burned to the ground and his country ravaged by multiple wars, he loses his cultural references and identity.</strong> By becoming the last witness of the identity of his universe, by losing the words of his mother tongue, he transforms himself into an arm of justice for those who are no longer there to take revenge. <strong>He switches from Ishmael (the witness) to Ahab in a struggle against those who use information and language to wage wars that inexorably lead to the corruption of people&rsquo;s identity.</strong> After having avenged his people in his young career as a spy, he turns his vengeance against Zero and his codes, against American imperialism.</p>

<p>Venom having stopped the release of the ST84, the plan fails, no nation will have carried its eye on the advertising Metal Gear. However, one entity will not forget… Cipher.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bf98f542bc4e35e60aec9492a5e3eac6">The Post-Mario artistic movement</h2>



<p>In the end, the game from the hospital boils down to running after Cipher for revenge and ultimately understanding that Cipher is just a shell within which Skullface hides, acts and feeds like a parasite hidden in a body. After all, the word Cipher has an Arabic root, Sifr, which means « the void ». <strong>The quest of Diamond Dogs is symbolically pointed to the void, there is nothing at the end, not even the possibility of revenge. This is not a random choice. I think that Hideo Kojima is pursuing an</strong> artistic vision that takes birth, in my opinion, with MGS2.</p>



<p>First of all, video games are not only entertainment but also a medium capable of conveying messages. The gamedesign of its games always aims at transmitting concepts, emotions and thoughts. For example, MGS talks about the relationship with genes and MGS2 about the relationship with memes.</p>

<p>Secondly, <strong>video games are capable of being an art form that cannot be approached like cinema.</strong> To give you an idea: in Sons of Liberty Raiden is built in the image of his player who thinks he is Snake, a legend. He has white hair to symbolize his naivety, he is effeminate to contrast with Snake, his mission is modeled on the events of Shadow Moses. The whole game is a meme of the 1998 opus in order to talk about what identity means in a society whose codes are projected by memetic. Thus, after being digested by the equivalent of a whale (which relates to the theme of Pinocchio&rsquo;s naivety) Raiden finds his way and abandons firearms to use the Katana given to him by Snake, then rejects the player&rsquo;s identity to become himself. <a href="https://www.metalgearsolid.be/sons-of-servitude-quel-heritage-pour-metal-gear-solid-2-1895.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">You can read Flying_Fox&rsquo;s excellent article on Metal Gear Solid 2 </mark></a><a href="https://twitter.com/flyingfox1984" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">(@flyingfox1984)</mark></a></p>



<p>MGSV continues this vision. In a classic video game, chapter 1 of MGSV would have served as the main storyline and the end would have come with the fall of the Sahelanthropus and the dismantling of Skullface&rsquo;s plans. This structure, with an ending boss and credits, hasn&rsquo;t changed much since Mario. It is the simple structure of a narrative that closes each of the storylines it has opened. The hero frees the princess, happy ending. The hero defeats the villain&rsquo;s plans, and curtain. But as we saw above, MGSV places a mirror (Huey) in front of the player to break this idea of the righteous hero.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img width="717" height="352" data-attachment-id="6957" data-permalink="https://light01c.fr/analyse-mgsv-la-therapie-du-miroir/yanofamitsu2/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/YanoFamitsu2.png?fit=717%2C352&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="717,352" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="YanoFamitsu2" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/YanoFamitsu2.png?fit=300%2C147&amp;ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/YanoFamitsu2.png?fit=717%2C352&amp;ssl=1"  alt="MGSV Yano Famitsu" class="wp-image-6957 lws-optimize-lazyload"/ data-src="https://light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/YanoFamitsu2.png" srcset="https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/YanoFamitsu2.png?w=717&amp;ssl=1 717w, https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/YanoFamitsu2.png?resize=300%2C147&amp;ssl=1 300w" sizes="(max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><a href="https://www.famitsu.com/news/201602/26099526.html?page=2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">https://www.famitsu.com/news/201602/26099526.html?page=2</mark></a></figcaption></figure>



<p>MGSV will break this narrative code on both axes creating the current I like to call Post-Mario:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Skullface is not a boss. It is impossible to get revenge and even in the cinematic about his death it is Huey who kills him while shouting for victory.</li>



<li>Skullface&rsquo;s death is not the end but rather the beginning of the end for Diamond Dogs. That&rsquo;s the point I&rsquo;m going to develop.</li>
</ul>



<p>By these means, <strong>Kojima hopes to provoke a feeling of « non-achievement » in the player</strong>, a kind of phantom pain. <strong>He deprives him of his goal and pushes him to continue</strong> in a chapter 2 that differs from the first in its structure. The player, always fair and virtuous like Huey, will therefore transfer his « pain » to other elements. The game, Konami, Kojima, a little bit of everything (and I unfortunately know what I&rsquo;m talking about having been one of them).</p>

</div><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Revenge doesn&rsquo;t take the pain away, nor even the hate. It doesn&rsquo;t make up for the loss but simply makes you hideous.</figcaption></figure>



<p>In addition to being able to break the codes of video games, chapter 2, which is unfairly considered incomplete, will allow Kojima to show his player how the world really works from a political point of view.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eee61c498f2cf5127d4002f2a6037bd4">Laugh and grow fat!</h2>



<p>From the moment Skullface dies, we understand that something is wrong. If there is one thing to keep in mind, it is that Skullface disappears without ever having really existed in the eyes of the world. Sahelanthropus has been stopped before making the expected show. So there are still two English strains of parasites in the wild but neither the USSR nor the USA have the information on these data. Only XOF is aware of this and continues to exist within Cipher.</p>



<p><strong>Venom will mix his destiny with that of Skullface and complete his mission to the end. When he dies, Big Boss will inherit the whole thing at the end of the race by standing up to Cipher.</strong></p>

<p><strong>If the first chapter is a race to get information, the second chapter is a race to hold back the leaks of that information.</strong> Diamond Dogs inherits Skullface&rsquo;s plans and the responsibility towards the entire world that comes with them. Indeed, the first mission after Skullface&rsquo;s death is to find a CIA agent with information about the parasites. We can&rsquo;t let this technology fall into the wrong hands. The next mission is to recover the work of Code Talker before Cipher. Then you have to get the data about the Man on Fire and the third boy before the KGB. The problem is that it never stops and at the same time the rival PMC&rsquo;s are gaining weight. <strong>Diamond Dogs is thus stuck plugging information leaks (like Skullface did before him) in the middle of a race for resources between PMCs.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eaeb9bde085c403149e6afa956501e6d"><blockquote><p><strong>Benedict « Kazuhira » Miller:</strong> [&#8230;]Skull Face is gone, but Cipher still remains.

So our only option is to fight, and grow, and fight, and grow.</p><cite>mission 41 briefing: Proxy War Without End</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Chapter 2&rsquo;s structure is much less linear and will therefore pose a problem for players. Indeed some missions in the game have prerequisites to be available. For example, to unlock mission 41 you will have to complete mission 38 as well as the side missions 147, 148 and 149. Mission 38 is unlocked through mission 35 and also the secondary operation 113 and a mission of your choice. <strong>This system is voluntary, it allows to set up a routine but also a fatigue.</strong> Getting to the end of the game thus becomes a real job that consists in accepting missions to grow and unlock other pieces of the story, slowly, with difficulty. You may even miss complete arcs that are essential to a good understanding of the game.</p>



<p>Seen from this angle it is normal that many players gave up during the second chapter because the structure is oriented to discourage or at least to be laborious . The fun, the hero&rsquo;s story, switches to real work. Almost tedious but fortunately MGSV has a very solid and varied gameplay. Many of the characters we gathered during chapter 1 will leave us in chapter 2. If Diamond Dogs wants to survive and maintain its ability to protect the world from Skullface&rsquo;s legacy, it needs to grow and build new bases, recruit new staff, get new vehicles, etc. Hideo Kojima goes beyond pure entertainment with this chapter 2.<strong> Where usually the narrative structure of games carries the message, it is the structure of MGSV itself that will deliver it.</strong></p>



<p>The name of Mission 41 conveys this idea: <strong>Proxy war without end.</strong></p>



<p>But more than that! Seen from this point of view the whole gameplay loop of MGSV makes sense. Influencing, recruiting, growing, getting equipment,… everything serves a purpose from the beginning. It is not a gimmick for fun only. The gameplay is linked to the purpose until the end in this ambition to grow, unlock the scenario and get stuck between cursed heritage and war economy.</p>



<p><strong>The means that served the objectives will slowly become the objective itself.</strong></p>

<p>In this context and with the scheme where the player leads a PMC that must maintain its position among other PMCs, MGSV offers a multiplayer in which players can attack the base of other players. Far from being trivial, it constitutes the final opening of the game to close with the saga, with Metal Gear.</p>

<p>If Kojima reminds us that this is not MGS5 but MGSV, <strong>it is because the game is not a sequel but a convergence.</strong> Two pieces of a saga that come together. Two destinies that share the same legend.</p>

<p>The story of V never really ends. We know where it ends up in Metal Gear, but that space is never completely filled by the game. There are several reasons for what many consider to be an unfinished game.</p>



<p>Let&rsquo;s start by simply defining the final situation of the game. A PMC that has contributed to various wars for various interests around the world inherits the knowledge of a biological weapon, a bipedal tank erected as a statue, a military power dedicated to infinite growth, and potentially two divergent tasks depending on the players:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>the construction of nuclear weapons as a mean of deterrence against players. Indeed, one of the rules of the game is that having a nuclear force makes you immune to intrusion by rivals (except for players who meet the hero point requirements) at the cost of demon points.</li>



<li>the dismantling of nuclear weapons, the reward for which is obtained through a common effort. This is the ultimate ending of the saga in my opinion for its anti-nuclear message.</li>
</ul>



<p>I<strong>n both cases Diamond Dogs become over time an imposing military power and a threat to world powers. It is therefore not surprising that public opinion will eventually turn its attention to them.</strong></p>

<p>This leads me to the second point. Cipher has more and more control over the United States and its control tool, AI, is starting to do its job of selecting informations for its society. Individuals build themselves into a social group and make decisions on the basis of selected information, presented in a defined light. These manipulated individuals elect representatives who defend the values thus acquired and perpetuate the cycle. <strong>An echo chamber the size of a nation.</strong></p>

<p>Thus, in 1945, 57% of French people thought that the USSR had contributed the most to the war against 23% in 2015. For the United States on the contrary the figure is 20% in 1945 against 54% in 2015.

<p>The amplification of American exceptionalism by the PATRIOTS system thus leads the United States to intervene against the PMC. <strong>It necessarily leads to declare Diamond Dogs as a threat to world peace</strong> and, in reaction, Venom to build Outer Heaven in a fight against Cipher and its control system. Ironic after destroying Skullface and his plans.</p>

<p>We can bring the facts closer to our reality. I am taking a huge pinch here but I still have to address it without comparing the situations.</p>



<p>We must remember the time when Bin Laden was presented <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/anti-soviet-warrior-puts-his-army-road-peace-saudi-businessman-who-recruited-mujahedin-now-uses-them-large-scale-building-projects-sudan-robert-fisk-met-him-almatig-1465715.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">as an agent of peace in the press</mark></a>. From the time when the United States financed his struggle blindly to win a victory against the Soviet bloc, even though some Mujahideen like Commander Massoud refused to collaborate with him and later fought against the Taliban at the head of the Northern Alliance.</p>



<p>These years of support and struggle have not brought Afghanistan out of the civil war. The United States was ready to do anything to destabilize the region and supported Pakistan, which in turn supported the Taliban. This led in 1996 to the establishment of Mullah Omar&rsquo;s power after the almost complete conquest of the country by the Taliban. The American Secretary of State at the time, <a href="https://www.europe1.fr/emissions/Aujourd-hui-dans-l-Histoire/27-septembre-1996-jour-ou-les-talibans-sont-entres-dans-kaboul-3447236" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">Madeleine Albright, declared that this was « a positive step »</mark></a>.</p>



<p>In 2001, the destruction of the Buddhas of Bâmiyân, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, moved the international community. Pakistan denounces the extremist policy of the Taliban, which they have supported for many years. The same year, Commander Massoud was assassinated and two days later the 9/11 attacks took place.</p>



<p>Although it is not necessary for the story, it is not surprising to find in the cut DLC Kingdom of the flies a final image showing the World Trade Center and referring directly to the attacks of September 11, 2001. Liquid&rsquo;s catchphrase « Not yet. It&rsquo;s not over yet » indicating that the cycle of revenge continues unabated. The Statue of Liberty symbolizing the idea of American exceptionalism, the freedom to bring to the world.</p>



<p>A liberation objective that will take place… in Afghanistan. In a war against terrorism in 2001 and a complete reversal of American international policy towards Al Qaeda and the Taliban.</p>



<p><strong>So we also understand the symbolic choice of the name Ground Zeroes.</strong> Ground Zero designating, since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the former location of the World Trace Center.</p>

<p>The phantom pain seen by MGSV is ultimately on two levels:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Historical, geopolitical and ideological</li>



<li>Individual, physical and psychological</li>
</ul>



<p>It is this idea of history that disappears when the world applies itself to twisting the facts in a way that makes nuances and points of view disappear. It is the history that disappears when the position of dominance allows a nation to crusade and define just causes with dubious means. <strong>A phantom history that changes with time according to interests.</strong></p>



<p>At the individual level, it could be summed up as the little pieces of ourselves that we lose through compromise and justification. These pieces of ourselves that we silence in order to integrate into an ever increasing conformism by dividing ourselves into ever smaller groups.<strong> It is the lost identity of individuals under the influence of a society guided by biased information systems and various influences.</strong></p>

<p>If the whole story of MGSV is about how a legend becomes a terrorist and seems to end negatively, I think that its structure conveys a positive message. <strong>The strength of MGSV is Venom, another symbolic meaning to the V in this opus.</strong></p>



<p>Venom is a demon, a former war doctor in whom the psyche of Big Boss has been forced. In other words: the fan and his experience. <strong>He is a hybrid being who has his own pains while accepting those of the player.</strong> Although he is relatively quiet to give the players room to talk, he will mostly have his own demons and intentions. Paz&rsquo;s arc is, in my opinion, revealing his primary identity and the internal conflict that plagues him.</p>



<p>The idea is that Venom is neither completely Big Boss nor completely the player. He takes on a legend, accepts it, and the player&rsquo;s interpretation of events will give him a degree of freedom of action. <strong>On the other hand, the doctor in him, the distance he takes from the player in him, will tend to exorcise himself through the choices he makes alone.</strong> For example, taking the player against the grain with Huey&rsquo;s trial, accepting the latter&rsquo;s reprimands after mission 43 or saving the children from the mine. <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">All of these choices contrast with the idea of a factual « descent into hell » of Big Boss.</span></strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-090a4a5e5847901dee5ef88168ef5739"><blockquote><p>I haven&rsquo;t forgotten what you told me, Boss. <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>We have no tomorrow, but there&rsquo;s still hope for the future.</strong></span> In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there&rsquo;s no time to waste.<strong> Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger.</strong> <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>I have to drive out this demon inside me &#8211; build a better future.</strong></span> <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">That&rsquo;s what I &#8211; what we &#8211; will leave as our legacy.</span></strong> Another mission, right Boss?</p><cite>Venom Snake</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>In this absence of an end, this large free space, the player becomes Big Boss himself and takes on the weight of the whole. This division between Venom and the player shown symbolically in the cinematic at the end of mission 46 is for me the symbol of the ambition of the game. <strong>A mirror therapy in which the player can feel his « degree of infection », understand the workings of history and redefine what he thinks about the world and himself.</strong></p>

</div><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Venom disappears behind the void of the mirror, taking on the role of Big Boss for good. The player self-missions (MSX) for the beginning of Metal Gear, becoming Solid Snake.</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>Venom, having absorbed Skullface&rsquo;s legacy, disappears from history to make one with the legend of Big Boss.</strong> I remind you the idea of the V, the convergence of fates, present on the logo of the game. From this point of view, MGSV completes the saga. On the other hand, the game also resumes its infinite cycle and from this point of view, the game never ends.</p>



<p>The converging V can therefore be taken as a diverging V from the point of view of these two « ends » that live at the same time. But also to mean the separation between the saga and the player. An exit for him to this cycle.</p>



<p>The fact that MGSV concludes on a blurred area, an infinite space that never fully closes with Metal Gear allows the player to be left behind in the FOB cycle. But unlike many revenge stories, The Phantom Pain doesn&rsquo;t really end on the very classic, flat emptiness of our actions. <strong>Emptiness is an observation and Kojima proposes to go beyond it</strong> in the direct line of Sartre&rsquo;s existentialism.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1b97feed68cb83abce926876313f9324"><blockquote><p><strong>Venom Snake:</strong> Us Diamond Dogs, we don&rsquo;t have a country to call home, <strong>that means we have no past, nothing to prove that we lived.</strong> Everyone of us threw it all away when we came here. <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>Sahelanthropus is a symbol that the likes of us brought at least one crisis to its end.</strong></span></p><cite>The Captured Sahelanthropus &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>In this system, he will be able to make his ideological choice between deterrence and working for denuclearization. It is a struggle between several world views:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Pessimists who think that it is impossible for everyone to make peace and that the best choice is therefore to protect themselves</li>



<li>Optimists who think it is necessary to work for peace</li>



<li>Those who navigate between the two who simply do not produce or dismantle nuclear weapons</li>
</ul>



<p>The player can therefore experience the natural alchemy of the world that makes relations between countries, ethnicities, beliefs and indeed the denuclearization of the world, complex. It gives weight to the term « peace effort ».</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-381d7762538ef5abd79138687ed2d3fc"><blockquote><p>“<em>A state of Peace among men who live side by side with each other, is not the <em>natural</em> state. The state of Nature is rather a state of War; for although it may not always present the outbreak of hostilities, it is nevertheless continually threatened with them. The state of Peace must, therefore, be <em>established</em>; for the mere cessation of hostilities furnishes no security against their recurrence.</em>”</p><cite>Perpetual peace project, Emmanuel Kant</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>MGSV does not give the answer to the question « what should I do? » or « what should I think? <strong>Kojima offers his player to experience and reflect on it himself, to extract his own truth from it all.</strong> Since this race does not make sense, it is up to each player to give a meaning to his or her existence.<strong> It is up to each player to face the world and to make his own diagnosis about his identity and his reason for living.</strong></p>

<p>MGSV is therefore a work that goes beyond its status as a game. It enters my conception of the Post-Mario to transmit to its player an experience that will live with him. Like a chapter 3: Peace that does not exist because it is up to the player to build it.</p>



<p>« From here on out, you&rsquo;re Big Boss », in this empty space « Tomorrow is in your hands »</p>

<p>L&rsquo;idée d&rsquo;écrire cette analyse sur MGSV a mis son temps à venir à moi, ou peut être est-ce moi qui ai perdu du temps errant d&rsquo;articles en vidéos, de forums en discussions. Si le jeu m&rsquo;a laissé un goût amer à sa sortie c&rsquo;est parce qu’une chose est certaine: V est difficile à cerner. Beaucoup de contenu coupé, une fin qui divise, une histoire parallèle, un air de faux semblant, une sensation d&rsquo;inachevé… Finalement, force est de constater que le jeu « souffre » d&rsquo;une approche sans concession de la part d&rsquo;Hideo Kojima. Je dis souffre car ce jeu est souvent mentionné comme un bon jeu mais un mauvais Metal Gear. J&rsquo;ai longtemps tenu ce discours mais je n&rsquo;ai jamais pu décrocher.</p>



<p>Le mystère de cette attraction pourrait tenir dans ce tweet:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Not MGS5, but MGSV. My thought in it.

</div></figure>



<p>J&rsquo;espère à travers ces lignes pouvoir changer votre vision sur le jeu tout comme ma vision sur lui a changé avec les années, au point de devenir le jeu le plus impactant dans ma vie de joueur. Expliquer, si c&rsquo;est possible, MGSV est une tâche complexe et nous ne pourrons en faire intégralement le tour ensemble. </p>



<p>Cependant, l&rsquo;illusion se résorbe, la vue s’éclaircit, le jeu livre ses secrets, lentement. A grands coups d&rsquo;études à son sujet mais également autour de celui-ci. Finalement, il m&rsquo;a paru évident que pour rendre à ce jeu le génie qui l&rsquo;habite il me faudrait comprendre son titre. Je vais donc m&#8217;employer à vous transmettre une interprétation sur la douleur fantôme et sa thérapie appliquée au jeu.</p>



<p>L&rsquo;article est très descriptif au début pour situer l&rsquo;histoire et les mécaniques du jeu mais j&rsquo;espère que vous lirez bien jusqu&rsquo;à la fin qui parle plus des thématiques et des concepts.</p>



<p>Étant donné que le jeu est sorti en 2015, il va de soi que ce qui est écrit ici fera nécessairement écho à d&rsquo;autres articles ou vidéos, mais je tiens à vous assurer de la sincérité de ma vision lorsque j&rsquo;écris ces lignes. Je remercie tous ceux qui ont contribué à mettre de la lumière sur les parts d&rsquo;ombres, ceux qui ont cherché à transmettre un savoir et des explications. J&rsquo;espère à la fois ne pas vous trahir et vous rendre hommage au travers de mes mots. Contribuer à mon tour à ce grand échange de points de vues. J&rsquo;aime l&rsquo;idée que « 1000 générations de Jedi vivent à travers moi » mais aussi que je vis dans les mots des autres de la même façon, dans une spirale infinie à la recherche de sens.</p>



<p>Impossible de vous nommer tous mais merci à vous.</p>



<p>Pour finir, il va de soi que<strong> tout sera spoilé,</strong> <strong>parfois même d&rsquo;autres jeux de la série</strong>, et que vous devez lire ces lignes en votre bonne conscience. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a555a4dd170399017822d407f4657fee">La douleur fantôme</h2>



<p>Pour situer un peu, la douleur fantôme est un terme médical apparut semble-t-il au XVIème siècle au travers d&rsquo;observations d&rsquo;Ambroise Paré. En revanche, le premier à en fournir une description clinique est Sylas Weir Mitchell en 1871. Le phénomène se décrit comme étant <strong>une douleur ressentie sur un membre amputé, un membre perdu</strong>, qui devient donc un fantôme pour le patient. En effet la disparition des terminaisons nerveuses ne supprimant pas les connections neuronales, le cerveau continue d&rsquo;entretenir une activité électrique sur les zones du cerveau qui contribuent au retour nerveux du membre perdu. Nous avons donc deux niveau d&rsquo;informations divergents:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>L&rsquo;information nerveuse:</strong> le membre n&rsquo;existe plus, il ne renvoi plus de signal</li>



<li><strong>l&rsquo;information neuronale:</strong> le cerveau dispose toujours de la zone liée au membre perdu, active électriquement</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img width="220" height="288" data-attachment-id="6931" data-permalink="https://light01c.fr/analyse-mgsv-la-therapie-du-miroir/pp/" data-orig-file="https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/PP.jpg?fit=220%2C288&amp;ssl=1" data-orig-size="220,288" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}" data-image-title="PP" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/PP.jpg?fit=220%2C288&amp;ssl=1" data-large-file="https://i0.wp.com/light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/PP.jpg?fit=220%2C288&amp;ssl=1"  alt="Phantom Pain" class="wp-image-6931 lws-optimize-lazyload"/ data-src="https://light01c.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/PP.jpg"></figure>



<p>La dualité d&rsquo;informations génère la douleur que les patients rencontrent. Une sensation de picotement sur des membres disparus. En revanche il est bon de noter que <strong>cette sensation située entre hallucination et automatismes cognitifs disparait avec le temps, à mesure que l&rsquo;image du corps se reconstruit, que les limites physiques du corps sont acceptées. </strong></p>



<p>Le traitement qui en résulte consiste en <strong>la thérapie miroir</strong> qui vise à donner une illusion au cerveau (par le retour visuel) que le membre existe toujours en plaçant un miroir face au membre existant (du point de vue du patient il voit donc deux membres): <a href="https://www.sciencesetavenir.fr/videos/la-therapie-miroir-cest-quoi_kffl3z" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">https://www.sciencesetavenir.fr/videos/la-therapie-miroir-cest-quoi_kffl3z</mark></a></p>

<p>Venom Snake est le personnage que le joueur incarne dans MGSV. Suite à un accident survenu en 1975, V a passé près de neufs années dans le coma. Il se réveille en 1984 alité dans un hôpital. Tout est flou et avant de trouver des forces, un second choc le renverra au fond de son lit: L&rsquo;accident l&rsquo;a privé d&rsquo;un bras et a truffé son corps de multiples corps étrangers. Des dents, des os, du métal&#8230; dont un éclat massif dans son lobe frontal qui vient presser son nerf optique, source pour lui d&rsquo;altérations visuelles. </p>



<p>Venom porte ainsi en lui, en permanence, des morceaux de ses anciens amis mais aussi l&rsquo;histoire de cet incident, sur lequel nous reviendrons.</p>

On voit ici les effets de lense-flare qui symbolisent l&rsquo;esprit embrumé de Venom.</em></figcaption></figure>



<p>La première douleur fantôme à laquelle sera confronté le joueur, au travers de Venom, sera physique et traduite par un gameplay absent, un gameplay que le joueur mémorise en lui sans pouvoir l&rsquo;exploiter.</p>



<p>Suite à l&rsquo;attaque de l&rsquo;hôpital par un groupe armé Snake se voit livré à lui même et incapable de s&rsquo;échapper. Que ce soit par la mise en scène à la première personne ou par divers effets de lense-flare, qui viennent marquer tantôt l&rsquo;esprit embrumé de Venom, tantôt la douleur qu&rsquo;il subit, tout est fait pour imprégner le joueur du sentiment d&rsquo;être submergé par les événements. Rien ne va, tout est hors de contrôle et va trop vite pour un personnage qui n&rsquo;a ni la force nécessaire pour se défendre, ni l&rsquo;esprit suffisamment clair pour distinguer la réalité des illusions. Il faudra l&rsquo;aide d&rsquo;un mystérieux personnage nommé Ishmael et d&rsquo;une piqure de Dygoxyne salvatrice pour mettre en route la machine. </p>



<p>On commence donc par ramper&#8230; lentement&#8230; On se dandine plus qu&rsquo;autre chose en fait. Le gameplay est très basique: on avance dans un couloir fait de carrelage en hexagones. Comme pour la douleur fantôme qui s&rsquo;estompe avec le temps, Venom reprends petit à petit la maitrise de son corps et nous pourrons marcher à quatre pattes puis enfin nous tenir debout. La reconnexion se fait et le joueur récupère la capacité à se faufiler qui a créé le genre plus de trente années plus tôt. </p>



<p><strong>Nous avons, par ces étapes progressives, récupéré le gameplay de la série</strong> qui se clôture par l&rsquo;obtention d&rsquo;une arme et d&rsquo;une salle à parcourir seul. Le joueur a donc réactivé sa mémoire musculaire en même temps que Venom et la douleur fantôme liée au gameplay s&rsquo;estompe, Snake est de retour.</p>

<p>Les souvenirs sont toujours flous pour Venom qui hallucine une baleine en feu venant balayer l&rsquo;hélicoptère de la milice à sa poursuite. Un écho à Moby Dick, une sorte de vision du futur sous la forme d&rsquo;une référence au livre. </p>

<p>Durant le voyage entre Chypre et l&rsquo;Afghanistan, Ocelot briefera Venom sur les événements marquants de ces années dans le coma. <strong>Neufs années ont contribué à la légende, de réalités en rumeurs, d’exagérations en interprétations. </strong></p>

I&rsquo;m plenty used to working under aliases.</p><cite>The Moniker Shalashaska &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Il semble que le monde aurait préféré que Big Boss ne se relève pas. Pour se défendre et survivre il lui faudra donc reconstruire sa milice. La première tâche qui lui reviendra, après avoir obtenu <strong>un bras gauche bionique</strong>, sera de libérer Kazuhira Miller, <strong>son ancien bras droit</strong>&#8230; Ironique.</p>

<p>Reconstruire et se venger de ceux qui ont tout prit à ce groupe militaire privé: Diamonds Dogs nait des cendre des MSF.  L&rsquo;objectif est simple: Grossir juste pour combattre Cipher, dirigé par Zero, et se venger des événements de Ground Zeroes.

<p>Les événements de 1975 font suite presque directe à la fin de Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. </p>



<p>Paz, une agent triple (CIA, KGB, Cipher), est retrouvé à la dérive dans les eaux des Caraïbes et se retrouve détenue au camp Omega, sous la coupe de l&rsquo;armée Américaine mais aussi, de par le fait, de Cipher. Le centre de détention fait partie d&rsquo;une liste très confidentielle: les Black Sites. Des prisons clandestines contrôlées par la CIA mais hors de la juridiction des États-Unis. <strong>Les procédures de détentions et d&rsquo;interrogatoires sont donc hors du système judiciaire fédéral Américain. Disons donc que les détenus n&rsquo;ont quasiment aucun droits et n&rsquo;apparaissent nul part aux yeux du monde.</strong></p>



<p>Ces blacks sites posent donc un problème d&rsquo;éthique et Ground Zeroes en parle très bien. <strong>Ce camps fait très froidement écho au centre de détention de Guantánamo</strong>, à Cuba, principalement connu pour avoir enfermé des suspects liés aux attentats du 11 septembre 2001 sur les tours du World Trade Center. Ces attentats furent revendiqués par Al-Qaïda dont le chef du réseau n&rsquo;est autre qu&rsquo;Oussama Ben Laden. L&rsquo;histoire de ce camp restera cependant <strong>une zone trouble pour le droit des prisonniers et la définition éthique des moyens nécessaires pour combattre le terrorisme.</strong> Ground Zeroes déploie la panoplie complète: Viols, tortures physique, tortures psychologiques, meurtres, détention en cages, interrogatoires musclés,&#8230; Beaucoup de choses mettent mal à l&rsquo;aise dans ce préquel à The Phantom Pain. Rappelons que Paz à la vingtaine et que Chico n&rsquo;est à ce moment qu&rsquo;un adolescent. Une situation qui, là aussi, évoque la réalité de la <a href="https://www.unicef.fr/article/pour-la-liberation-des-enfants-prisonniers-de-guantanamo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">détention d&rsquo;enfants sur ces sites</mark></a>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5c536a5ab2519e249a4744871ab162b7"><blockquote><p><strong>Chico:</strong> Huh?<br><strong>Skullface: </strong>You heard me. Do you like what you see?<br><strong>Chico:</strong> …Huh?<br><strong>Skull Face:</strong> I said… Do you like what you see? It&rsquo;s like… fruit. Does she look sweet or sour? A man has to know these things. Time for a taste test. Either you take her – now – or you&rsquo;re strung up next.<br><strong>Paz:</strong> Don&rsquo;t worry, Chico.<br><strong>Chico:</strong> No… No…<br><strong>Paz:</strong> It&rsquo;s okay, Chico… You won&rsquo;t hurt me.<br><strong>Chico:</strong> I don&rsquo;t…<br><strong>Skull Face: </strong>Get on with it.<br><strong>Chico:</strong> I can&rsquo;t…</p><cite>Chico&rsquo;s Tape 4 &#8211; March 12, 1975: Interrogation &#8211; Ground Zeroes</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Capturée et torturée, Paz fera l&rsquo;objet d&rsquo;interrogatoires réguliers et Chico, un enfant sauvé par Big Boss dans Peace Walker, tentera de voler à son secours. J&rsquo;ai envie d&rsquo;écrire que ça tourne mal! Ce serait un euphémisme! Il se fait attraper et servira à torturer Paz psychologiquement et vice et versa. Je vous disais plus haut que le site est supervisé par la CIA et tombe donc dans les filets invisibles de Cipher. Un homme au sein de cette organisation intervient sur le site pour obtenir la réponse à une question: Où se trouve Zero?</p>



<p>Paz, agent de Cipher est la dernière personne à l&rsquo;avoir rencontré. <strong>Zero se cache en effet à la tête d&rsquo;un système complexe d&rsquo;intermédiaires, chacun communicants des informations à d&rsquo;autres mais ne se connaissant pas.</strong> Un système qui étends lentement son <strong>contrôle sur les institutions américaines</strong> dans l&rsquo;ombre par le biais de fonds presque infinis récupérés lors de l&rsquo;opération Snake Eater en 1964. Le nom de cette pieuvre invisible? Cipher. C&rsquo;est ainsi qu&rsquo;il protège son identité mais c&rsquo;est également sa faille. Personne ne sait vraiment qui reçoit ou donne l&rsquo;information. En revanche Paz l&rsquo;a rencontré et Skullface, se servant de méthodes hors de l&rsquo;éthique, obtient sa position. En résultent deux faits importants:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Chico transmets un message de détresse à Big Boss qui lui demande de venir le chercher.</li>



<li>Skullface « piège » Paz en plaçant 2 bombes dans son corps&#8230; oui&#8230; dans son corps!</li>
</ul>



<p>L&rsquo;histoire prendra un tournant dramatique lorsque Skullface, sous couvert d&rsquo;une inspection de l&rsquo;IAEA (Agence Internationale de l&rsquo;Energie Atomique) fera exploser la base des MSF tandis que Big Boss est en opération de sauvetage de Paz et Chico. </p>



<p>Plusieurs points importants ici:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>L&rsquo;inspection est un coup monté, l&rsquo;IAEA niera qu&rsquo;une quelconque inspection devait avoir lieu</li>



<li>Huey Emmerich a décidé de son propre chef d&rsquo;accepter l&rsquo;inspection car, en cachant leur arme nucléaire sous l&rsquo;eau, cela leur permettrait de laver leur image aux yeux du monde</li>



<li>Kaz était contre et Big Boss aussi, mais le mouvement étant déjà imprimé Big Boss décide de valider les travaux pour cacher le Metal Gear Zeke.</li>



<li>Skullface agit sous la coupe de XOF au camp Omega mais supprime le logo sur les hélicoptères et les insignes sur ses soldats au moment de l&rsquo;attaque. Le groupe devient à ce moment anonyme.</li>



<li>MSF est une Société Militaire Privée (SMP), sans nation. C&rsquo;est donc une force de frappe militaire « on demand ». Un groupe utile pour de nombreuses opérations secrètes de divers pays mais également une source d&rsquo;inquiétude lorsque leurs capacités sont inconnues ou, au contraire, révélées. L&rsquo;idéal étant qu&rsquo;ils restent dans l&rsquo;ombre.</li>
</ul>



<p>La base est réduite en cendre mais le coup final est asséné à MSF lorsque Paz, se jetant dans le vide, explose en vol, envoyant l&rsquo;hélicoptère de Big Boss s&rsquo;écraser et laissant ses occupants pour morts. Un plan macabre dont <strong>la fumée et les hélicoptères étaient visibles depuis la côte et à commencé à soulever des questions au sein de l&rsquo;opinion publique.</strong></p>

<p><strong>On retiendra donc que l’événement a mis les États-Unis dans une situation assez complexe à gérer et à tourné l&rsquo;opinion publique vers des sujets qu&rsquo;ils préfèrent garder sous silence</strong>: les Black Sites, les SMP, le traitement de prisonniers de guerres, la circulation d&rsquo;armes nucléaires dans des groupes privés, etc. L&rsquo;IAEA et l&rsquo;ONU ont du se dédouaner pour ne pas se faire éclabousser. Certains pays ont préféré restreindre les informations circulants dans leur pays. </p>



<p>1975 est le point de départ d&rsquo;une explosion réelle dont l&rsquo;onde de choc est tant physique que politique. Ground Zeroes évoque plusieurs épicentres car il est écrit au pluriels et en effet c&rsquo;est le point de départ d&rsquo;un processus qui s&rsquo;inscrit tant au niveau des Hommes (tous les protagonistes en seront affectés) qu&rsquo;au niveau des nations. Ce titre a également une signification sur laquelle nous reviendront bien plus tard.</p>



<p>On a un aperçu ici de l&rsquo;idée qui sous tends la phrase d’introduction de la mission 46 nommée ironiquement Vérité.</p>

<p>Si les faits nous disent que MSF, le bras armé discret de divers intérêts secrets, est victime d&rsquo;une attaque de la part de XOF, de Skullface, l&rsquo;histoire retiendra dans les livres et la presse un règlement de compte entre deux puissances militaires privées suspectées de détenir une ogive nucléaire. Les faits sont donc interprétés sous l&rsquo;unique prisme des informations à disposition de ceux qui en font le constat. Mais vous verrez plus tard que tout cela va bien plus loin et que The Phantom Pain raccorde très bien ses wagons avec une vieille thématique déjà abordée dans Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of liberty: le contrôle de l&rsquo;information.</p>



<p>Sur ces bases, les Diamond Dogs, en 1984, chercheront à se venger a partir des seules données qu&rsquo;ils possèdent: Quelle organisation est capable de monter une fausse inspection de l&rsquo;IAEA? Qui peut connaitre Big Boss et Miller au point de réaliser un plan aussi précis? Quel est le seul lien qui unissait Paz à MSF? Vous l&rsquo;avez en milles: CIPHER. Une hydre informe qui étends son contrôle sur le monde chaque jours un peu plus.</p>

<p>Un Venom mutilé retrouve donc un Kaz mutilé lui aussi. Une douleur les habite qui ne disparaitra pas, la perte de leurs hommes et de certains de leurs membres. Ce sera <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>le moteur de la vengeance de Kaz</strong></span> mais le socle de <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>la construction d&rsquo;une intention de Venom</strong></span>. Deux motivations assez distinctes que l&rsquo;on ne perçoit pas nécessairement au premiers abords. Surtout si comme moi vous avez vécu la communication autour de The Phantom Pain comme étant <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>la descente aux enfers de Big Boss</strong></span>, le chainon manquant. Deux zones floues que l&rsquo;on a du mal à voir après une première complétion du jeu.</p>



<p>Si ces notions sont aujourd&rsquo;hui moquées par beaucoup de fans déçus du jeu, je pense que je serais en mesure de leur montrer que tout est là mais pas comme nous l&rsquo;attendions, mais surtout que cela apporte énormément à la saga et, en prime, que leur réaction était prévue voir recherchée. Mais j&rsquo;expliquerais plus loin ces notions.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b97491263a881caabd07973459efddfd">Afghanistan is a big place!</h2>



<p>Si Venom entre par la petite porte en Afghanistan sur le dos de son cheval, nous allons, nous, devoir prendre du recul pour situer le contexte et en parler plus largement. Je ne vais pas retracer l&rsquo;intégralité de l&rsquo;histoire de la guerre froide opposant les États-Unis d&rsquo;Amériques et leurs alliés, le bloc de l&rsquo;Ouest capitaliste, à l&rsquo;URSS et ses alliés, le bloc de l&rsquo;Est communiste. Je vais simplement dégrossir quelques éléments. </p>



<p>Ce bras de fer a débuté en sortie de seconde guerre mondiale pour finir avec la chute des régimes communistes autour de 1989. Notons au passage que c&rsquo;est vraisemblablement G. Orwell qui a démocratisé l&rsquo;usage du terme « Cold war » dans un essai intitulé <a href="https://orwell.ru/library/articles/ABomb/english/e_abomb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color"><em>You and the atomic bomb</em> publié en 1945 dans le journal Londonien Tribune.</mark></a> L&rsquo;affrontement à distance à de nombreux effets sur le monde à plusieurs niveaux: politique, économique, culturel, sportif, scientifique,&#8230; <strong>C&rsquo;est surtout une grande période de dissuasion militaire et nucléaire, de course à l&rsquo;armement qui contraint les blocs à ne pas s&rsquo;affronter directement et à déporter le conflit dans d&rsquo;autres zones du monde.</strong></p>



<p>Ce qui nous intéresse c&rsquo;est le contexte dans lequel la trame de The Phantom Pain va se dérouler. La révolution Afghane en 1978 et la prise de pouvoir du Parti Démocratique Populaire d&rsquo;Afghanistan instaure la République Démocratique d&rsquo;Afghanistan. La guerre civile éclate entre le pouvoir soutenu par l&rsquo;URSS et les Islamistes. Seulement, les forces du pouvoir en place se font rapidement déborder. En 1979 les Soviétiques interviennent pour éviter l&rsquo;effondrement du régime qu&rsquo;ils soutiennent en déclarant agir pour le maintient de la paix en Asie centrale. </p>



<p>Le risque était en fait trop grand de voir l&rsquo;Afghanistan passer sous influence Islamiste et de voir apparaitre des bases militaires Chinoises ou Américaines. Des tanks contre des soldats armés de fusils sur des chevaux. Bien que sur le papier le combat semble inéquitable, la résistance Islamiste, en déclarant ce combat comme étant un « Jihad » (une guerre sainte) galvanise ses troupes qui s&rsquo;organisent en guérillas dans une guerre d&rsquo;attrition. <strong>Les États-Unis sous la direction de Jimmy Carter saisissent l&rsquo;occasion en apportant un soutient logistique aux Moudjahidines </strong>(Le programme Afghan ou Opération Cyclone) ce qui entretiendra les braises d&rsquo;une guerre asymétrique bien trop longue. Une « guerre du Vietnam » Soviétique qui participera largement à la chute de l&rsquo;Union Soviétique en bout de course. Les États-Unis ne peuvent évidemment pas s&rsquo;impliquer directement dans ce conflit et c&rsquo;est là que les SMP prennent du sens.</p>



<p>La première chose à comprendre c&rsquo;est la raison pour laquelle Kazuhira est retenu prisonnier par l&rsquo;armée soviétique en Afghanistan. Son équipe et lui même formaient des Moudjahidines en tant qu&rsquo;intermédiaires de la CIA pour ne pas les impliquer. En comparaison, c&rsquo;est durant cette période qu&rsquo;Oussama Ben Laden organise le départ de combattants du Jihad venus de multiples pays vers la frontière entre le Pakistan et l&rsquo;Afghanistan où ils seront entrainés et armés par l&rsquo;ISI (services de renseignements du Pakistan) mais largement financés par les États-Unis et placé sous la logistique de la CIA. <strong>Ce parallèle est intéressant car c&rsquo;est à cet endroit même, sur ce qu&rsquo;Ocelot appelle la ligne Zero, que Miller et son équipe procédaient à la formation des combattants.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c595e5ef1ced22bb7079b1a1fd7acb7c"><blockquote><p><strong>Ocelot:</strong> [&#8230;] The Hamid fighters get generous support from the Pakistani government. The government wants to use them to secure influence over Afghanistan. Their liaison with the Hamids is Inter-Service Intelligence. And behind the ISI, you have the CIA. That&rsquo;s probably how the Honey Bee ended up in the Hands of the Hamid men.</p><cite>The Hamid Fighters &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Les Skulls sont intervenus à cet endroit pour décimer son équipe et le faire prisonnier. Mais ce qui est difficile à dire c&rsquo;est dans quel but?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e248531ead9df53f0e005edf4f06e8af"><blockquote><p><strong>Snake:</strong> Why&rsquo;d they come after you?<br><strong>Miller:</strong> Wish I knew. I&rsquo;m the only one who survived. Though I don&rsquo;t think they planned it that way. If I was their target, they wouldn&rsquo;t have just handed me over to the 40th Army. Whatever the case, we need to watch our step until we know who they really are. And Boss, if you ever do run into them again, don&rsquo;t try to take them on. You just get the hell outta there.</p><cite>The Mist Unit &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Tout simplement, le groupe d&rsquo;intervention ayant pourchassé Snake à l’hôpital à échoué dans sa mission. La seule option pour le faire sortir à nouveau c&rsquo;est de capturer son ancien bras droit et d&rsquo;attendre qu&rsquo;il se présente. C&rsquo;est la raison pour laquelle l&rsquo;unité des Skulls surgit immédiatement après avoir récupéré Miller: ils viennent terminer leur travail, tuer Big Boss.</p>



<p>La seconde chose à comprendre dans MGSV c&rsquo;est que <strong>vous agissez en tant qu&rsquo;intermédiaire pour divers intérêts.</strong> Vous serez souvent employé par la CIA, les Moudjahidines voir même régulièrement par Cipher eux même et plus ironiquement encore par XOF sous couvert de Cipher.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-885d7074713294951a348843ce3299f1"><blockquote><p><strong>Benedict « Kazuhira » Miller:</strong> [&#8230;] Whatever happened, the Soviets have invaded the area and are searching for this Western weapon tech.

But « the Company » can&rsquo;t be seen entering the area. That&rsquo;s where we come in. Boss, head to the fort of Da Smasei Laman, find the weapon before the Soviets, and bring it back to base &#8211; fast. The new weapon is code-named « Honey Bee. » To the U.S., it&rsquo;s a vital military secret.</p><cite>Briefing de la mission 6: Where do the bees sleep?</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>L&rsquo;importance de comprendre cette subtilité tient au fait que <strong>vos objectifs sont dictés par votre employeur.</strong> Lorsque l&rsquo;on dit ça il faut comprendre que vous n&rsquo;aurez que sa version et qu&rsquo;en exécutant la mission au pied de la lettre, parfois (régulièrement en fait), <strong>vous pourrez vous rendre compte d&rsquo;une manipulation.</strong> Ici je vais vous renvoyer sur une vidéo, de Keyser44Soze, très sympa qui retrace l&rsquo;histoire de la mission 3: A hero&rsquo;s way.</p>

<p>Ainsi, réduire au silence ce commandant sert principalement la cause de ceux qui ont détruit le village de Da Smasei Laman et du groupe de combattants Moudjahidines qui s&rsquo;y trouvaient: les combattants Hamid. Si vous avez tué ce soldat lors de votre partie j&rsquo;espère que vous apprécierez cet éclairage.</p>



<p>Un point intéressant à noter ici réside également dans la façon dont Kojima joue avec ses fans en intitulant sa mission « La voie du héros ». Le joueur, et principalement le fan qui s&rsquo;attends à voir Big Boss « descendre en enfer », se prends pour le héros de l&rsquo;histoire en éxécutant sa mission. Comme si la voie du héros était dramatique, ce qui est appuyé par la phrase de Miller dans le briefing: « <em>Nothing personal. We&rsquo;re only doing this because it gets us one step closer to our goal</em>« . En revanche sous l&rsquo;éclairage de la vidéo, on comprends finalement que le héros est plutôt le commandant, la cible de la mission, et que c&rsquo;est sa morale, sa volonté à épargner les civils (« quoiqu&rsquo;il en coute! » lol), qui est en fait « la voie du héros ». </p>



<p>En revanche, il faut bien comprendre que rien n&rsquo;est toujours tout noir ou tout blanc dans MGSV. <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>Si ce soldat trouve l&rsquo;honneur de sauver les civils,</strong></span> il n&rsquo;en reste pas moins <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>un pivot de la politique de la terre brulée Soviétique.</strong></span> <strong>Une tactique qui vise à littéralement ne rien laisser d&rsquo;exploitable après leur passage: maisons, ressources, infrastructures, les terrains cultivables sont minés, etc.</strong> Bien que ce soldat possède une certaine morale il contribue malgré tout à attiser le feu qui <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>pousse les civils quitter leurs terres et les résistants à se venger.</strong></span> <strong>Les soldats Soviétiques capturés sont laissés à l&rsquo;agonie, pieds, mains et nez tranchés:</strong> <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">un message pour les soldats soviétiques encore en fonction qui à leur tour iront bruler d&rsquo;autres villages&#8230; et ainsi de suite. </span></strong></p>



<p>En y réfléchissant, les Diamond Dogs ressemblent à ce soldat: l&rsquo;éthique est une chose mais elle ne brise pas le cycle. En le recrutant on pourrait dire: qui se ressemble s&rsquo;assemble?</p>



<p>Quoiqu&rsquo;il en soit les questions demeurent, qui nous a engagé et pourquoi?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4373367e8b702ff1543e1e5175594987">Les expériences de Skullface en Afghanistan</h2>



<p>Si je vous ai développé beaucoup de l&rsquo;histoire en naviguant au rythme des missions jusqu&rsquo;ici c&rsquo;était dans le but de comprendre les mécaniques de ce jeu entre informations et manipulations. Nous allons donc maintenant développer globalement ce qui occupait XOF en Afghanistan.</p>



<p>Skullface a utilisé l&rsquo;Afghanistan comme site de test pour ses parasites. Afin de garantir un fonctionnement en toutes circonstances, ils sont déployés sur des sites sélectionnés méticuleusement selon plusieurs critères:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Des conditions climatiques variées (Afghanistan, Afrique sont cités dans le jeu)</li>



<li>Plusieurs langues doivent être employées sur la zone afin de confirmer le bon ciblage du langage</li>



<li>Une densité de population faible pour garantir le contrôle sur l&rsquo;expansion de l&rsquo;épidémie</li>
</ul>



<p>L&rsquo;Afghanistan est construit sur une société tribale qui comporte divers langages et cultures. Pashtounes, Tadjiks, Ouzbèques,&#8230; Les conditions étants réunies, XOF a procédé au test sur les combattants Hamid. Le test se révèle un succès, les occupants du fort de Da Smasei Laman disparaissent sans laisser la moindre trace de combats. La rumeur floue se répends que ces Moudjahidines ont succombé suite à une nouvelle opération terre brulée sous les ordres du commandant de la mission 3: A hero&rsquo;s way. En revanche XOF ne peut se permettre de laisser ce soldat répondre de sa non culpabilité ni d&rsquo;intervenir directement. Via le système d&rsquo;intermédiaires le contrat fini entre les mains de Diamond Dogs pour réduire au silence le commandant.</p>



<p>Cependant les combattants Hamid étaient également aidés par la CIA secrètement face aux redoutables hélicoptères Soviétiques. Ces derniers disposaient d&rsquo;une arme expérimentale de confection Américaine: le Honey Bee. La rumeur de la disparition des combattants Hamid intrigue l&rsquo;armée rouge qui investi le fort à la recherche de la technologie qui a décimé les occupants. Le risque pour la CIA étant que les Soviétiques tombent sur Honey Bee et puissent prouver leur support envers les Moudjahidines mais également que la technologie soit revendue et finisse face à leurs propres unités sur d&rsquo;autres fronts. Ils contactent donc Diamond Dogs pour récupérer l&rsquo;arme expérimentale au fort Smasei.</p>



<p><strong>Venom et son groupe passent ainsi leur temps à courir derrière les traces de Cipher</strong> et à survivre aux tentatives de meurtre de XOF sans jamais parvenir à saisir ce qui se trame. L&rsquo;arrivée sur la base d&rsquo;un personnage sur la Mother Base va nous permettre de plonger un peu plus loin dans l&rsquo;un des concepts fondamental du jeu et de basculer sur la piste Africaine.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-bbd72f2610f826bc02add9b9a3c98f75">Le témoin: le parasite de l&rsquo;exceptionnalisme Américain</h2>



<p>Lorsque la mission arrive entre les mains de Diamond Dogs c&rsquo;est un Kaz avide de vengeance qui nous demande d&rsquo;aller récupérer le scientifique qui souhaite repasser à l&rsquo;Ouest. Huey Emmerich, l&rsquo;instigateur de la visite de l&rsquo;IAEA est la cible de cette mission de sauvetage. Celui qui a ouvert la porte au cheval de troie et condamné MSF à disparaitre en 1975. <strong>L&rsquo;un des traits caractéristiques de ce personnage est d&rsquo;agir comme un miroir pour Diamond Dogs.</strong> Huey est un scientifique, un civil ce qui lui permet de disposer d&rsquo;un oeil externe et symboliquement chacune de ses interventions servira à définir Diamond Dogs du point de vue de l&rsquo;opinion publique des Etats-Unis, comme <strong>un témoin de leurs actes vus par le prisme Américain.</strong></p>



<p>Vu sous cet angle il n&rsquo;est donc pas étonnant de découvrir qu&rsquo;Huey était censé être Ishmael dans les premières versions du jeu. En effet, dans Moby Dick, Ishmael est le témoin de l&rsquo;aventure d&rsquo;Achab, de sa quête de vengeance mais également celui qui est le narrateur de l&rsquo;histoire. <strong>Une histoire vue du point de vue d&rsquo;un civil biaisé par l&rsquo;idéologie qui définit son pays: l&rsquo;Exceptionnalisme Américain.</strong></p>

<p>L&rsquo;exceptionnalisme Américain est une idéologie qui découle de l&rsquo;idée de <strong>Destinée Manifeste</strong> apparue en fin du XIXème siècle. La destinée manifeste est la pensée selon laquelle les Etats-Unis ont pour mission divine d&rsquo;apporter la civilisation vers l&rsquo;Ouest. Une idée que l&rsquo;on retrouve dans Death Stranding (le dernier jeu de Kojima) sous la forme de la mission principale de Sam Porter.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-279a5c0764da3bcb1551484dc51000e6"><blockquote><p><strong>Die-Hardman:</strong> Sam, we want you to go west and finish what Amelie started. The people she left behind have been hard at work setting up chiral network terminals. But these terminals are still isolated. We need you to bring them online. And for that, you’ll need a Q-pid.</p><cite>Briefing de Die-Hardman &#8211; Death Stranding</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>L&rsquo;exceptionnalisme Américain est l&rsquo;idée selon laquelle la position spéciale qu&rsquo;ils détiennent parmis les nations du monde est due au fait que le pays, la première démocratie moderne, fut bati par des immigrés.  Ainsi la structure de leurs institutions serait le fruit d&rsquo;opportunités et d&rsquo;idéaux et non de constructions comme les classes sociales ou de simples produits de l&rsquo;histoire. <strong>La nature même de leur démocratie serait donc à l&rsquo;origine de l&rsquo;ambition, une destinée, de la propager dans le monde comme étant source de civilisation, de liberté et de justesse.</strong></p>



<p>Huey Emmerich, né dans ce système de pensés, serait donc <strong>le représentant de cette idéologie à bord de la Mother Base.</strong> Premièrement, il permettrait d&rsquo;apporter un oeil extérieur aux agissements de Diamond Dogs, de les présenter comme <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>des meurtriers ou comme menace pour la paix en tant que détenteurs d&rsquo;armes nucléaires.</strong></span> Dans un second temps, il permet également de représenter <strong>les travers de ladite idéologie qui justifie tous ses agissements comme justes ou comme le bon choix à faire tout en niant la réalité de ses actes.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b1a6bfc971d85fd534c75604e4cfee7e"><blockquote><p><strong>Ocelot: </strong>You&rsquo;re still happy now&#8230; changing your lies to suit the listener and slipping by through the cracks. Building layer upon layer of convenient stories until nothing means anything to you anymore. You&rsquo;re happy all the time&#8211;because you don&rsquo;t even notice you&rsquo;re doing it. Think hard. Who are you, really? You&rsquo;re not the victim and you&rsquo;re not the silent majority. You&rsquo;re a perpetrator and a petty hypocrite. <strong>The real world doesn&rsquo;t make you suffer, it&rsquo;s the other way around!</strong></p><cite>Cooperating with Eli &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>D&rsquo;un point de vue historique et symbolique Huey est le seul ancien membre des MSF à n&rsquo;avoir rien perdu dans l&rsquo;accident de 1975. Pire encore, <strong>il contraste directement avec la douleur de Kaz et Venom en ayant retrouvé l&rsquo;usage de ses jambes grâce à ses travaux.</strong> Les seules pertes qu&rsquo;il subit durant le jeu sont liés à ses choix directs: Le meurtre de StrangeLove, la perte de son fils qui lui est pris par Skullface a qui il a naivement ouvert la porte de MSF, son exil de la mother base qui fait suite à la manipulation des parasites donc le socle de la mission 43: Shining lights, even in death,&#8230; </p>



<p>Huey est troublant pour le joueur puisqu&rsquo;il évoque des sujets sous l&rsquo;angle du bon sens, tel un civil. Il met le doigt sur nos agissements, sur notre image et sur les implications de nos actes vu par la société, par les civils. Le joueur, Achab, auto proclamé héro de cette histoire aura tendance à ne pas s&rsquo;y conformer et va donc développer une haine envers Huey et pointer du doigt ses mensonges. <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>Le joueur va le haïr et justifier ses actes en rejetant le point de vue des civils car il s&rsquo;estime juste, dans le camp du bien.</strong></span> Ce processus montre bien à quel point ce que représente Huey est bien infiltré en chacun de nous, au sein même du système de pensée du joueur. Ce constat sans appel donne une dimension nouvelle aux objectifs de Skullface.</p>



<p>Bien entendu l&rsquo;idée n&rsquo;est pas que tous les joueurs auront la même réaction face à ce phénomène mais le jeu s&rsquo;adresse principalement à ceux qui se rangent du côté des Diamond Dogs et tout est fait pour cela. <strong>Les joueurs ayants un désir de vengeance variable, le character design de Miller, sa volonté irrépréssible de vengeance, sera utilisé de façon à être un moteur pour eux en terme d&rsquo;implication.</strong></p>



<p>Si l&rsquo;on reprends l&rsquo;idée du traitement de la douleur fantôme par <strong>la thérapie du miroir</strong> alors Kojima se sert d&rsquo;Emmerich comme d&rsquo;un miroir pour le joueur. Ce dernier pourra identifier les mécanismes qu&rsquo;il applique pour se défendre et se sentir juste. En revanche Venom ne réagit pas comme ses pairs. <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>En acceptant de voir les choses en face, en se libérant de l&rsquo;idée de justesse et en décidant de laisser la vie sauve à Huey,</strong></span> Snake prends le joueur à contre pied et, par ce phénomène de dissociation, lui permet de <strong>prendre du recul sur la raison pour laquelle Venom fait ce choix. </strong></p>

</div><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Les Diamond Dogs suivent Kaz et réclament la mort de Huey pour se faire justice. <br>Huey persiste dans ses mensonges et continue à se voir juste, innocent.<br>Venom décide qu&rsquo;ils ne sont pas aptes à rendre la justice (en cassure avec l&rsquo;idéologie de l&rsquo;exceptionnalisme Américain) et l&rsquo;exile.</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>Ces micro déconnexions recherchées entre avatar et utilisateur</strong>, qui consituent la nature de démon de Venom,<strong> sont le moyen pour Kojima d&rsquo;intriguer le joueur sur sa propre réaction face au procès</strong>. En redéfinissant ses contours (comme pour la thérapie du miroir) le joueur peut dépasser ses intentions premières et faire le constat qu&rsquo;il est lui même « infecté » par ce modèle de pensée.</p>

<p>Finalement Huey se révèle ne pas être Ishmael pour une raison simple. En représentant les Etats-Unis dans un contexte de guerre froide, il représente lui aussi Achab face à Moby Dick, USA versus URSS. De la même façon que l&rsquo;URSS représente également Achab face à Moby Dick, URSS versus USA. Le thème de la vengeance prends donc un revers assez troublant d&rsquo;un Achab contre un autre ou d&rsquo;un Moby Dick contre un autre qui se mutilent l&rsquo;un l&rsquo;autre dans un cycle sans fin. Il faut retenir ici l&rsquo;idée de justesse des causes. <strong>Chaque camp se croit vertueux et juste dans son jugement pour l&rsquo;appliquer sans condition.</strong></p>



<p>Achab est le joueur en Venom (principalement celui qui ressent le besoin de vengeance) et le médecin en Venom essaie de le calmer, de chasser cette nature.</p>

<p>L&rsquo;arrivée à bord d&rsquo;Emmerich propulsera rapidement le groupe sur la piste Africaine. Le chainons manquant de leur inverstigation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c9301768015d82118d2ee346b34855b8">L&rsquo;Afrique: le chainon manquant</h2>



<p>Bien que je pourrais ici parler de la situation géopolitique de l&rsquo;Afrique comme nous avons pu le faire avec l&rsquo;Afghanistan, discuter de la façon dont le continent est livré à la merci des divers intérêts qui profitent des guerres civiles ou qui génerent des conflits dans le but d&rsquo;intervenir et piller les ressources. Je ne le ferais pas dans un but d&rsquo;écourter l&rsquo;article. Le sujet mériterais amplement un article à lui tout seul tant la situation est tristement complexe. J&rsquo;espère vous avoir donné une vision sur la façon dont MGSV raconte son histoire et sa géopolitique pour que vous puissiez prendre vous même le relais. Je vais donc résumer rapidement la trame principale en Afrique afin de pouvoir aboutir aux points qui nous intéressent dans cet article.</p>



<p>La première mission que nous recevons en Angola concerne une station de pompage. Une fuite de pétrole a lieu au champ pétrolifère de Mfinda contaminant la rivière à proximité. Une ONG nous demande d&rsquo;intervenir pour la stopper. Ces locaux étaient abandonnés depuis de longues années mais l&rsquo;UNITA en a pris le contrôle récemment. Kaz nous préviens qu&rsquo;il semble que l&rsquo;UNITA reçoit un soutiens de la part des Etats-unis et donc qu&rsquo;il est possible que l&rsquo;on puisse remonter jusqu&rsquo;à Cipher.</p>



<p>Sur la route Venom doit passer par Bwala ya masa, un village proche qui borde la rivière. Première recontre avec des enfants soldats. Une fois le village dépassé vous pourrez tomber sur des habitations brulées et un charnier encore fumant avant d&rsquo;atteindre finalement la station Mfinda. Le problème c&rsquo;est qu&rsquo;une fois la pompe stoppée des corps remontent à la surface.</p>



<p>Nous apprendrons plus tard grâce à Code Talker que Skullface a utilisé la zone autour de Bwala ya masa comme zone de test pour ses parasites ciblant la langue Kikongo. Mais cette fois les conditions de test que l&rsquo;on a défini plus haut n&rsquo;étaient pas vraiment remplies. Etant une zone à forte densité de population, contenir l&rsquo;épidémie devient très problématique. Ce qui devait arriver arriva, l&rsquo;épidémie s&rsquo;est répendue et pour la contenir XOF a brulé la zone (rappelez vous du charnier) mais ça n&rsquo;a pas suffit. Les larves des parasites ont commencé à se transmettre par la rivière contaminant le village en aval. XOF a donc donc réactivé la station Mfinda pour polluer l&rsquo;eau dans le but de dissuader la population d&rsquo;en consommer.</p>



<p>En revanche <strong>en tant que joueur vous venez de détruire la station&#8230;</strong> C&rsquo;est ce qui conduira plus tard à la mission 23: White Mamba, une mission durant laquelle Eli prends la tête d&rsquo;une armée d&rsquo;enfants après la disparition des adultes.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-de24986345b592a17d761b69ffb523ba"><blockquote><p><strong>Benedict « Kazuhira » Miller:</strong> Boss, the CFA soldiers deployed to Bwala ya Masa have been annihilated. There are no signs of combat, nor any endemic disease. All the adults just&#8230; disappeared. [&#8230;]</p><cite>Briefing de mission 23: White Mamba &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>En supprimant la pompe, l&rsquo;eau est redevenue potable. La population a de nouveau commencé à consommer et le parasite s&rsquo;est répandu. <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>Diamond Dogs est donc involontairement responsable de la disparition des habitants de Bwala ya masa </strong></span>à ce stade de l&rsquo;aventure. En revanche pourquoi seuls les enfants restent?</p>



<p>Il faut remonter à la mission 20: Voices pour le comprendre. <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>Les enfants de la mine que Venom sauve</strong></span> vous engagent pour aller sauver leur chef, Shabani, le plus agé d&rsquo;entre eux. Ce dernier aurait été envoyé à Nzo ya badiabulu, la maison du diable, une zone qui terrifie la population locale puisque ceux qui y sont conduits n&rsquo;en reviennent pas.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d67c8b18c25044463b63f4613cd3c242"><blockquote><p><strong>Benedict « Kazuhira » Miller:</strong> We don&rsquo;t know why Shabani was moved to Nzo ya Badiabulu.

<p>Shabani est en pleine adolescence, la puberté fait que sa voix mue et ses cordes vocales permettent au parasite de s&rsquo;y nicher. Ainsi les enfants « sains » n&rsquo;ont en fait pas présentés de symptomes car ils n&rsquo;ont pas atteints la puberté mais <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>ce sont eux qui ont contaminé les adultes sur la Mother Base sans le savoir.</strong></span></p>



<p>On apprends donc en Afrique que Skullface cherche à créer des parasites capables de détruire un hôte parlant un langage ciblé. Une arme épidémique qui peut faire disparaitre un langage très rapidement en tuant ses hôtes. Mais dans quel but? Avant de poursuivre continuons un peu nos découvertes en Afrique.</p>



<p>La mission 15: Empreintes de fantômes nous envoie à la recherche de Walker Gears. Une arme bipède offrant un avantage tactique sur divers types de terrains. Le problème c&rsquo;est que ces prototypes sont vendus à l&rsquo;Est comme à l&rsquo;Ouest aux SMP qui travaillent pour l&rsquo;UNITA (<em>União Nacional para a Independência Total de Angola</em>) comme pour le MPLA (<em>Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola</em>). Il semble que Cipher distribue ce prototype sur les champs de bataille peu importe l&rsquo;alignement au sein de cette guerre froide. Une décision louche qui pose des questions.</p>



<p>Diamond Dogs remonte la piste et découvre qu&rsquo;en compensation pour ces Walker Gears, Cipher se fait payer en minerais contenant des traces d&rsquo;uranium et d&rsquo;archées méttaliques. Je n&rsquo;expliquerais pas tout le détail. Ces deux composants permettent à Skullface de vendre des armes nucléaires en kit qu&rsquo;il contrôle à distance. Ainsi il est en mesure d&rsquo;inonder le monde d&rsquo;armes nucléaires et l&rsquo;Afrique était son terrain de tests.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f4c014bb56d0a923fe9f6d080cc89586">Skullface: la vengeance sans visage</h2>



<p>Une fois l&rsquo;ensemble des tests effectués la dernière étape pour lui consiste à allumer la flamme qui embrasera le monde. Bien que le Sahelanthropus soit techniquement inopérant, son plan est de le montrer en plein jour sur un champ de bataille Afghan pour attiser la peur. Un nouveau prototype d&rsquo;arme bipède sorti tout droit des bases secrètes soviétique aurait très vite fait de conduire à un état d&rsquo;alerte maximal le bloc Ouest. La course à l&rsquo;armement nucléaire reprendrait de plus belle et lui permettrait de fournir en masse ses kits. Un monde inondé d&rsquo;armes nucléaires non pas réservées à des nations, mais bien à n&rsquo;importe quel groupe, SMP, milices,&#8230; </p>



<p>En parallèle Skullface visait à éradiquer la langue Anglaise et le diagnostic qu&rsquo;il pose est le suivant: L&rsquo;Amérique prétends être un <em>melting pot</em>, un lieu de mixité ethnique et culturel constituant un peuple uni. En fait ce n&rsquo;est qu&rsquo;un <em>Salad bowl</em>, un lieu ou les cultures et les groupes ethniques ne se mélangent que très peu et vivent côte à côte. Le liant entre ces groupe est l&rsquo;Anglais. Cette <em>lingua franca</em> maintient la société en symbiose. <strong>Puisque l&rsquo;Amérique est né de l&rsquo;immigration, puisqu&rsquo;elle arrive à maintenir cette symbiose et maintenir son rang parmis les nations du monde alors elle est en mesure d&rsquo;en faire autant avec le monde. C&rsquo;est, selon Skullface, la base de l&rsquo;exceptionnalisme Américain. </strong></p>



<p>Il avait donc pour ambition de détruire la langue Anglaise pour détruire la cohésion Américaine, isoler de nouveau les groupes ethniques et culturels au sein des états unis. Mais aussi <strong>supprimer l&#8217;emprise de la culture Américaine sur le monde.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2b86387931bf8758f144d12611470bb8"><blockquote><p><strong>Ocelot: </strong>We only have his word to go on, but Skull Face&rsquo;s goal was revenge against those who&rsquo;d used language to subjugate people. <strong>Those corrupting a people&rsquo;s identity by forcing a new tongue on them. Those using the power of language to control information.</strong> Naturally, that set his sights on Zero. To Zero, English was simply the most convenient code, but to Skull Face, English was a parasite&#8230; and by eradicating it, he&rsquo;d stop the world from being eaten away. If that didn&rsquo;t work, he was ready to see the world scorched by nuclear fire. <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>To save language, culture, and race from annihilation,</strong></span> <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color"><strong>he was willing to overstep the hands of the Doomsday Clock</strong></span>; that is, of course, if you believe <em>anything </em>he had to say.</p><cite>The Target of Skull Face&rsquo;s Revenge &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Skullface considère donc qu&rsquo;unifier le monde passe par le renforcement des cultures. Si Zero cherche à en faire un <em>melting pot</em> uni sous un système de contrôle de l&rsquo;information et du langage, Skullface lui cherche à en faire un <em>Salad bowl</em> libéré de l&rsquo;impérialisme Américain. <strong>Sans <em>lingua franca</em> le monde sera de nouveau dans l&rsquo;observation, la division et la recherche de dissuasion nucléaire créera le statu quo par la menace de représailles.</strong> C&rsquo;est sa manière d&rsquo;interpréter la vision de The Boss.</p>



<p><strong>Ce personnage incarne à lui tout seul l&rsquo;idée du cycle de la vengeance.</strong> Il est un pur produit de la guerre et des intérêts géopolitiques. Il nait en Transylvanie peu après que cette dernière fut rendue à la Hongrie en 1940 suite au deuxième arbitrage de Vienne. L&rsquo;Allemagne nazie vise à affaiblir la Roumanie qui lui livre une « guerre froide » en permettant à la Hongrie d&rsquo;annexer la Transylvanie mais l&rsquo;échec des négociations conduit Berlin et Rome à imposer la décision. La Hongrie, pour obtenir les faveurs du Reich déclare la guerre à l&rsquo;URSS le 27 Juin 1941 avec près de 200 000 hommes qui s&rsquo;engagent sur le front de l&rsquo;Est. La débacle de la bataille de Stalingrad en 1943 les font sortir de la guerre. En 1944 la Hongrie figure parmis les derniers alliés du Reich qui cherche à tout prix à maintenir cette alliance pour bénéficier de ses richesses mais surtout de ses raffineries de pétrole.</p>



<p>Cette même année, les alliés reprennent la base de Foggia qui expose le territoire Hongrois aux bombardements Américains et en octobre l&rsquo;URSS envahi complètement la Transylvanie. Cette invasion abouti à la bataille de Budapest qui permet à l&rsquo;URSS de placer un pion politique à la tête du pays en la personne de Béla Miklós. Soutenu par les soviétiques il signera l&rsquo;armistice en 1945 déclarant ainsi la guerre au Reich.</p>

<p>Venom ayant stoppé la sorti du ST84, le plan tombe à l&rsquo;eau, aucune nation n&rsquo;aura porté son oeil sur le Metal Gear publicitaire. En revanche une entité n&rsquo;oubliera pas&#8230; Cipher.</p>

<p>Au final, le jeu depuis l&rsquo;hôpital se résume à courir derrière Cipher pour se venger et ultimement comprendre que Cipher n&rsquo;est qu&rsquo;une coquille au sein de laquelle Skullface se cache, agit et se nourit comme un parasite caché dans un corps. Après tout le mot Cipher possède une racine Arabe,<em> Sifr</em>, qui signifie « le vide ». <strong>La quête de Diamond Dogs est symboliquement pointée vers le vide</strong>, il n&rsquo;y a rien au bout, pas même la possibilité de vengeance. Ce n&rsquo;est pas un choix fait au hasard. Je pense qu&rsquo;Hideo Kojima poursuit une vision artistique qui prends naissance, à mon sens, avec MGS2.</p>



<p>Premièrement, <strong>les jeux vidéos ne sont pas uniquement un divertissement mais aussi un médium capable de transmettre des messages.</strong> Le gamedesign de ses jeux visent toujours la transmission de concepts, d&rsquo;émotions et de pensées. Par exemple, MGS parle du rapport aux gênes et MGS2 du rapport aux memes.</p>

<p>Deuxièmement <strong>le jeu vidéo est capable d&rsquo;être un art à part entière qui ne peut être abordé comme du cinéma.</strong> Pour vous donner un aperçu: dans <em>Sons of Liberty</em> Raiden est construit à l&rsquo;image de son joueur qui se prends pour Snake, pour une légende. Il a les cheveux blancs pour symboliser sa naiveté, il est efféminé pour contraster avec Snake, sa mission est calquée sur les évennements de Shadow Moses. Tout le jeu est un meme de l&rsquo;opus de 1998 dans le but de parler de ce que signifie l&rsquo;identité au sein d&rsquo;une société dont les codes se projettent par memetique. C&rsquo;est ainsi qu&rsquo;après avoir été digéré par l&rsquo;équivalent d&rsquo;une baleine (Rapport au thème de la naiveté de Pinocchio) Raiden trouve son chemin et délaisse les armes à feu pour se servir du Katana que lui donne Snake puis rejette l&rsquo;identité du joueur pour devenir lui même. <a href="https://www.metalgearsolid.be/sons-of-servitude-quel-heritage-pour-metal-gear-solid-2-1895.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">Vous pouvez lire l&rsquo;excellent article de Flying_Fox sur Metal Gear Solid 2.</mark></a> (<a href="https://twitter.com/flyingfox1984" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">@flyingfox1984</mark></a>)</p>



<p>MGSV poursuit cette vision. <strong>Dans un jeu vidéo classique, le chapitre 1 d&rsquo;MGSV aurait fait office de trame principale et la fin aurait sonné avec la chute du Sahelanthropus et le démantèlement des projets de Skullface.</strong> Seulement cette structure du jeu vidéo avec un boss de fin et le générique n&rsquo;a pas beaucoup changé depuis Mario. C&rsquo;est la structure simple d&rsquo;une narration qui clôture chacune des trames qu&rsquo;elle a ouverte. Le héros libère la princesse, happy end. Le héros contre les projets du méchant et rideau. Mais nous l&rsquo;avons vu plus haut MGSV place un miroir (Huey) sur le joueur pour casser cette idée du héros juste.</p>

<p>MGSV va casser ce code narratif sur les deux axes créant le courant que j&rsquo;aime appeller le Post-Mario:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Skullface n&rsquo;est pas un boss. Il est impossible de se venger et même au sein de la cinématique relative à sa mort c&rsquo;est Huey qui le tue en criant à la victoire.</li>



<li>La mort de Skullface n&rsquo;est pas une fin mais plutôt le début de la fin pour Diamond Dogs. C&rsquo;est le point que je vais développer.</li>
</ul>



<p>Par ces moyens, <strong>Kojima espère provoquer un sentiment de « non accomplissement » chez le joueur</strong>, une sorte de douleur fantome. <strong>Il le prive de son but et le pousse à poursuivre</strong> malgré tout dans un chapitre 2 qui diffère du premier dans sa structure. Le joueur, toujours juste et vertueux et à l&rsquo;image d&rsquo;Huey, va donc reporter sa « douleur » sur d&rsquo;autres éléments. Le jeu, Konami, Kojima, un peu tout ce qui passe sous la main (et je sais malheureusement de quoi je parle ayant été l&rsquo;un d&rsquo;entre eux).</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Se venger ne retire pas la douleur, ni même la haine. Elle ne comble pas la perte mais rends simplement hideux.</em></figcaption></figure>



<p>En plus de pouvoir casser les codes du jeu vidéo, le chapitre 2 du jeu qui est injustement jugé incomplet, va permettre à Kojima de montrer à son joueur comment fonctionne réellement le monde d&rsquo;un point de vue politique.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-light-green-cyan-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eee61c498f2cf5127d4002f2a6037bd4">Laugh and grow fat!</h2>



<p>Dès le moment ou Skullface meurt on comprends que quelque chose ne va pas aller. S&rsquo;il faut bien avoir une chose en tête c&rsquo;est que Skullface disparait sans avoir jamais vraiment existé au yeux du monde. Sahelanthropus a été stoppé avant de faire le spectacle attendu. Il reste donc deux souches Anglaises de parasites dans la nature mais ni l&rsquo;URSS ni les USA n&rsquo;ont l&rsquo;information sur ces données. Seuls XOF est au courant et continue d&rsquo;exister au sein de Cipher.</p>



<p><strong>Venom va donc méler son destin à celui de Skullface et compléter sa mission jusqu&rsquo;au bout. A sa mort, Big Boss héritera de l&rsquo;ensemble en bout de course en se dressant face à Cipher.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Si le premier chapitre est une course pour obtenir des informations, le second chapitre est une course pour retenir les fuites de ces informations.</strong> Diamond Dogs hérite des projets de Skullface et de la responsabilité envers le monde qui en découle. En effet la première mission qui suit la mort de Skullface est de retrouver un agent de la CIA disposant d&rsquo;informations sur les parasites. Impossible de laisser cette technologie tomber entre de mauvaise mains. La suivante concerne les travaux de Code Talker à récupérer avant Cipher. Ensuite il faut récupérer les données concernant l&rsquo;Homme en feu et le troisième garçon avant le KGB. Le problème c&rsquo;est que cela ne s&rsquo;arrête pas et que dans le même temps les SMP rivales prennent du poids. <strong>Diamond Dogs se trouve ainsi coincé à colmater les fuites d&rsquo;informations (comme Skullface avant lui) au milieu d&rsquo;une course aux ressources entre SMP.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8c20cc37613d9c9c3ce3ec82ec1c6c8e"><blockquote><p><strong>Benedict « Kazuhira » Miller:</strong> [&#8230;]Skull Face is gone, but Cipher still remains. Competition with rival PFs will only get more intense. For us to survive, we need to expand our organization, and get strong enough that no one can threaten us. So our only option is to fight, and grow, and fight, and grow.</p><cite>Briefing mission 41: Proxy War Without End</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>La structure du chapitre 2 est bien moins linéaire et va donc poser un problème aux joueurs. En effet certaines missions du jeu ont des conditions préalables pour être disponibles. Par exemple pour débloquer la mission 41 vous devrez accomplir la mission 38 ainsi que les missions secondaires 147, 148 et 149. La mission 38 étant débloquée grâce à la mission 35 mais aussi l&rsquo;opération secondaire 113 ainsi qu&rsquo;une mission de votre choix. <strong>Ce système est volontaire, il permet de mettre en place une routine mais aussi une fatigue.</strong> Accéder à la fin du jeu devient donc un véritable travail qui consiste à accepter des missions pour grossir et débloquer d&rsquo;autre morceaux de l&rsquo;histoire, lentement, difficilement. Vous pouvez même manquer des arcs complets pourtant indispensable à une bonne compréhension du jeu.</p>



<p>Vu sous cet angle il est donc normal que beaucoup de joueurs aient abandonné durant le second chapitre car la structure est orientée pour décourager. Le fun, l&rsquo;histoire du héros, laisse la place à un véritable travail. Presque fastidieux mais heureusement MGSV dispose d&rsquo;un gameplay très solide et varié. Beaucoup de personages que nous avons réunis durant le chapitre 1 nous quitterons dans le chapitre 2. Si Diamond Dogs veut survivre et maintenir sa capacité à protéger le monde de l&rsquo;héritage de Skullface, il lui faut grossir et construire de nouvelles bases, recruter du nouveau personnel, récupérer de nouveaux véhicules, etc. Hideo Kojima dépasse, avec ce chapitre 2, le cadre du divertissement pur. <strong>Là où habituellement la structure narrative porte le message, c&rsquo;est la structure du jeu en lui même qui va le délivrer.</strong></p>



<p>Le nom de la mission 41 porte bien cette idée: <strong>Une guerre sans fin par procuration.</strong></p>



<p>Mais plus encore! Vu sous cet angle la boucle de gameplay complete d&rsquo;MGSV prends du sens. S&rsquo;inflitrer, recruter, grossir, obtenir du matériel,&#8230; tout sert un but depuis le début. Il ne s&rsquo;agit pas d&rsquo;un gadget pour le fun uniquement. Le gameplay se rattache au propos jusqu&rsquo;au bout dans cette ambition de croitre, débloquer le scénario et se retrouver coincé entre héritage maudit et économie de guerre. </p>



<p><strong>Les moyens qui servaient les objectifs vont lentement devenir eux même l&rsquo;objectif.</strong></p>

<p>Dans ce contexte et avec le schéma où le joueur dirige une SMP qui doit maintenir sa position parmis d&rsquo;autres SMP,  MGSV propose un multijoueur au sein duquel les joueurs peuvent attaquer la base d&rsquo;autres joueurs. Loin d&rsquo;être anodin, il constitue l&rsquo;ouverture finale du jeu pour boucler avec la saga, avec Metal Gear.</p>

<p>Si Kojima nous rappelle qu&rsquo;il ne s&rsquo;agit pas d&rsquo;MGS5 mais bien d&rsquo;MGSV c&rsquo;est parce que <strong>le jeu se pose non pas comme une suite mais comme une convergeance.</strong> Deux morceaux d&rsquo;une saga qui se rejoignent. Deux destins qui partagent une même légende.</p>

<p>L&rsquo;histoire de V ne fini jamais vraiment. Nous savons où celà abouti dans Metal Gear mais pour autant cet espace n&rsquo;est jamais complètement comblé par le jeu. Plusieurs constats s&rsquo;imposent donc pour expliquer ce que beaucoup considèrent comme un jeu qui n&rsquo;est pas fini.</p>



<p>Commençons par simplement définir la situation finale du jeu. Une SMP ayant contribuée à diverses guerres pour divers intérêts à travers le monde hérite des connaissances liées à une arme biologique, d&rsquo;un tank bipède érigé en statue, d&rsquo;une puissance militaire vouée à la croissance infinie et potentiellement de deux tâches divergeantes en fonction des joueurs:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>la construction d&rsquo;armes nucléaires comme moyen de dissuasion envers les joueurs. En effet, une des règles du jeu veut que disposer d&rsquo;une force nucléaire immunise contre les intrusions des rivaux (sauf pour les joueurs remplissants des conditions de points de héros) au prix de points de démon.</li>



<li>le démantèlement d&rsquo;armes nucléaires dont la récompense est obtenue par l&rsquo;effort commun. Il s&rsquo;agit de la fin ultime de la saga à mon sens pour son message anti-nucléaire.</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Dans les deux cas Diamond Dogs devient avec le temps une puissance militaire imposante et une menace pour les puissances mondiales. Il n&rsquo;y a donc rien de surprennant à ce que l&rsquo;opinion publique un jour ou l&rsquo;autre se penche sur eux.</strong></p>

<p>Cela me conduit au second constat. Cipher possède toujours plus de contrôle sur les Etats-unis et son outil de contrôle que sont les IA commence à faire son travail de sélection de l&rsquo;information. Des individus se construisent dans un groupe social et prennent des décisions sur la base d&rsquo;informations choisies, présentées sous un angle défini. Ces personnes manipulées élisent des représentants qui défendent les valeurs ainsi acquises et perpétuent le cycle. <strong>Une chambre d&rsquo;écho de la taille d&rsquo;une nation.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-754b24cc64ea13c3f40f0a3c13246b94"><blockquote><p><strong>Ocelot:</strong> [&#8230;]Oh, and they&rsquo;ve got a name for Anderson&rsquo;s AI project.

<p><strong>Par le contrôle de l&rsquo;information Cipher contrôle donc le contexte, peut écrire l&rsquo;histoire et donner une direction au futur:</strong> Unir le monde en exportant sa culture. Exporter ses valeurs sociales via des entreprises privées comme Mc Donald, Coca Cola, General Motors, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook,&#8230; Via des séries télévisuelles ou l&rsquo;industrie du cinéma comme Holywood ou Disney. Une exportation aussi par le conflit comme nous avons pu le voir dans MGSV.</p>

<p>C&rsquo;est ainsi qu&rsquo;en 1945, 57% des Français pensaient que l&rsquo;URSS avait le plus contribué à la guerre contre 23% en 2015. Pour les Etat-unis au contraire le chiffre est de  20% en 1945 contre 54% en 2015.

<p>L&rsquo;amplification de l&rsquo;exceptionnalisme Américain par le système PATRIOTS conduit donc les Etats-Unis à intervenir envers les SMP. <strong>Il conduit nécessairement à déclarer Diamond Dogs comme une menace pour la paix</strong> dans le monde et, en réaction, Venom à fonder Outer Heaven dans une lutte contre Cipher et son système de contrôle. Ironique après avoir détruit Skullface et ses plans.</p>



<p>MGS3 construisait la légende de Big Boss sur les cendre de celle de The Boss. MGSV transforme la légende en terroriste tel qu&rsquo;on peut le découvrir dans les opus qui suivent. Ce cycle se poursuit&#8230; après tout il n&rsquo;y a de la place que pour un seul Snake? Non&#8230;</p>

<p>On peut rapprocher les faits de notre réalité. Je prends d&rsquo;énormes pincettes ici mais il me faut malgré tout l&rsquo;aborder sans pour autant comparer les situations. </p>



<p>Il faut se souvenir de l&rsquo;époque durant laquelle Ben Laden était présenté <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/anti-soviet-warrior-puts-his-army-road-peace-saudi-businessman-who-recruited-mujahedin-now-uses-them-large-scale-building-projects-sudan-robert-fisk-met-him-almatig-1465715.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">comme un agent de la paix dans la presse.</mark></a> De l&rsquo;époque où les Etats-Unis financaient sa lutte aveuglément pour remporter une victoire face au bloc Soviétique alors même que certains Moudjahidines comme le commandant Massoud ont refusé de colaborer avec lui et ont ultérieurement combattu contre les talibans à la tête de l&rsquo;Alliance du Nord.</p>



<p>Ces années de soutiens et de lutte n&rsquo;ont pas sorti l&rsquo;Afghanistan de la guerre civile. Les Etats-Unis étants prêts à tout pour déstabiliser la région soutiennent le Pakistan qui soutiennent, eux, les talibans. Cela conduit en 1996 à l&rsquo;instauration au pouvoir du mollah Omar après la conquète presque complète du pays par les talibans. La secrétaire d&rsquo;état Américaine du moment, <a href="https://www.europe1.fr/emissions/Aujourd-hui-dans-l-Histoire/27-septembre-1996-jour-ou-les-talibans-sont-entres-dans-kaboul-3447236" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#4ec2b2" class="has-inline-color">Madeleine Albright, va jusqu&rsquo;à déclarer que c&rsquo;est « un pas positif »</mark></a>. </p>



<p>En 2001, la destruction des Bouddha de Bâmiyân inscrites au patrimoine mondial de l&rsquo;UNESCO émeut la communauté internationale. Le Pakistan dénonce la politique extrémiste des talibans qu&rsquo;ils ont soutenu bien des années. La même année le commandant Massoud est assassiné et deux jours plus tard les attentats du 11 septembre ont lieu.</p>



<p>Bien qu&rsquo;il ne soit pas nécessaire au réçit, il n&rsquo;est donc pas étonnant de trouver dans le DLC coupé <em>Kingdom of the flies</em> une image finale montrant le World Trade Center et faisant directement référence aux attentats du 11 septembre 2001. La catchphrase de Liquid « Not yet. It&rsquo;s not over yet » indiquant que le cycle de la vengeance se perpétue inéxorablement. La statue de la liberté symbolisant l&rsquo;idée de l&rsquo;exceptionnalisme Américain, la liberté à apporter dans le monde. </p>



<p>Un objectif de libération qui prendra place&#8230; en Afghanistan. Dans une guerre contre le terrorisme en 2001 et un revirement complet de la politique internationale Américaine face à Al-Qaïda et aux talibans.</p>



<p><strong>On comprends donc aussi l&rsquo;une des symboliques dans le choix du nom du prologue: Ground Zeroes.</strong> Ground Zero désignant, depuis les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, l&rsquo;ancien emplacement du World Trace Center.</p>

<p>La douleur fantôme vue par MGSV se situe au final à deux niveaux:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Historique, géopolitique et idéologique</li>



<li>Individuel, physique et psychologique</li>
</ul>



<p>Il s&rsquo;agit donc de cette idée d&rsquo;une histoire qui disparait lorsque le monde s&rsquo;applique à tordre les faits sous un angle qui fait disparaitre les nuances et les points de vue. C&rsquo;est l&rsquo;histoire qui disparait lorsque la position de dominance permets à une nation de partir en croisade et définir des causes justes en justifiant de moyens douteux. <strong>Une histoire fantôme qui change avec le temps en fonction des intérêts.</strong></p>



<p>Au niveau individuel on pourrait le résumer aux petits bouts de nous même que nous perdons à force de compromis et de justifications. Ces morceaux de nous que l&rsquo;on fait taire pour s&rsquo;intégrer dans un conformisme toujours plus grand en se divisant dans des groupes toujours plus petits. <strong>C&rsquo;est l&rsquo;identité perdue des individus sous l&rsquo;influence d&rsquo;une société guidée par des systèmes d&rsquo;informations biaisés et d&rsquo;influences diverses.</strong></p>

<p>Si toute l&rsquo;histoire d&rsquo;MGSV raconte comment une légende devient un terroriste et semble finir négativement, je pense pourtant que sa structure transmet un message positif. <strong>La force d&rsquo;MGSV c&rsquo;est Venom, un autre sens symbolique au V de cet opus.</strong></p>



<p>Venom est un démon, un ancien médecin de guerre dans lequel on a forcé la psyché de Big Boss. Autrement dit: le fan et son expérience. <strong>C&rsquo;est un être hybride qui a ses douleurs propres tout en acceuillant celles du joueur.</strong> Bien qu&rsquo;il soit relativement peu loquace pour laisser de la place aux joueurs, il aura surtout ses propres démons et intentions. L&rsquo;arc de Paz étant à mon sens révélateur de son identité première et du conflit interne qui le ronge.</p>



<p>L&rsquo;idée c&rsquo;est que Venom n&rsquo;est ni complètement Big Boss ni tout à fait le joueur. Il prend sur son dos une légende, l&rsquo;accepte, et l&rsquo;interprétation du joueur sur les évenements viendra lui donner un degré de liberté d&rsquo;action. <strong>En revanche le médecin en lui, le recul qu&rsquo;il prends par rapport au joueur en lui, tendra à s&rsquo;exorciser au travers des choix qu&rsquo;il prends seul.</strong> Par exemple, prendre le joueur à contrepied avec le procès de Huey, accepter les réprimandes de ce dernier après la mission 43 ou sauver les enfants de la mine. <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>Tous ces choix qui contrastent avec l&rsquo;idée d&rsquo;une « descente aux enfers » factuelle de Big Boss.</strong></span></p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-090a4a5e5847901dee5ef88168ef5739"><blockquote><p>I haven&rsquo;t forgotten what you told me, Boss. <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>We have no tomorrow, but there&rsquo;s still hope for the future.</strong></span> In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there&rsquo;s no time to waste.<strong> Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger.</strong> <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>I have to drive out this demon inside me &#8211; build a better future.</strong></span> <strong><span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">That&rsquo;s what I &#8211; what we &#8211; will leave as our legacy.</span></strong> Another mission, right Boss?</p><cite>Venom Snake</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Dans cette absence de fin, ce grand espace libre, le joueur devient lui même Big Boss et prends sur lui le poid de l&rsquo;ensemble. Cette division entre Venom et le joueur montrée symboliquement dans la cinématique de fin de la mission 46 est pour moi le symbole de l&rsquo;ambition du jeu. <strong>Une thérapie du miroir dans lequel le joueur peut sentir son « degré d&rsquo;infection », comprendre les rouages de l&rsquo;histoire et redéfinir ce qu&rsquo;il pense du monde et de lui même.</strong></p>

</div><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Venom disparait derrière le vide du miroir, endossant définitivement le rôle de Big Boss. Le joueur s&rsquo;auto-missione (MSX) pour le début de Metal Gear, devenant Solid Snake.</figcaption></figure>



<p><strong>Venom, ayant absorbé l&rsquo;héritage de Skullface, disparait de l&rsquo;histoire pour se confondre dans la légende de Big Boss.</strong> Je vous rappelle l&rsquo;idée du V, la convergeance des destins, présente sur le logo du jeu. De ce point de vue, MGSV boucle bien la saga. En revanche, le jeu reprends également son cycle infini et de ce point de vue, le jeu ne boucle finalement jamais.</p>



<p>Le V convergeant peut donc tout autant être pris comme un V divergeant sous l&rsquo;angle de ces deux « fins » qui vivent en même temps. Mais aussi signifier la séparation entre la saga et le joueur. Une issue pour lui à ce cycle.</p>



<p>Le fait que MGSV conclue sur une zone floue, un espace infini qui ne boucle jamais intégralement avec Metal Gear permet de laisser son joueur en cours de route dans le cycle des FOB. Mais à la différence de beaucoup d&rsquo;histoires de vengeance, The Phantom Pain ne termine pas vraiment sur la très classique et plate vacuité de nos actes. <strong>La vacuité est un constat et Kojima propose de la dépasser</strong> dans la ligne directe de l&rsquo;existentialisme de Sartre.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1b97feed68cb83abce926876313f9324"><blockquote><p><strong>Venom Snake:</strong> Us Diamond Dogs, we don&rsquo;t have a country to call home, <strong>that means we have no past, nothing to prove that we lived.</strong> Everyone of us threw it all away when we came here. <span class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color"><strong>Sahelanthropus is a symbol that the likes of us brought at least one crisis to its end.</strong></span></p><cite>The Captured Sahelanthropus &#8211; MGSV</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>Dans ce système il pourra faire son choix idéologique entre la dissuasion et oeuvrer pour la dénucléarisation. C&rsquo;est une lutte entre plusieurs visions du monde:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Les pessimistes qui pensent qu&rsquo;il est impossible de s&rsquo;accorder et que le meilleurs choix est donc de se protéger</li>



<li>Les optimistes qui pensent qu&rsquo;il est nécessaire d&rsquo;oeuvrer pour la paix</li>



<li>Ceux qui naviguent entre les deux qui simplement ne produisent ni d&rsquo;arme nucléaire ni n&rsquo;en démantèlent</li>
</ul>



<p>Le joueur peut donc faire l&rsquo;expérience de cette alchimie naturelle du monde qui rends complexe les relations entre les pays, les ethnies, les coyances et de fait la dénucléarisation du monde. Il donne du poid au terme « effort de paix ».</p>



<figure class="wp-block-pullquote has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c01e22a3c4a975e2db00cf73665ec2ba"><blockquote><p>“<em>L&rsquo;état</em> de <em>paix n&rsquo;est pas</em> un <em>état</em> de nature, lequel est au contraire un <em>état</em> de guerre, c&rsquo;est pourquoi il faut que <em>l&rsquo;état</em> de <em>paix</em> soit institué ”</p><cite>Projet de paix perpétuelle, Emmanuel Kant</cite></blockquote></figure>



<p>MGSV ne donne pas la réponse à la question « que faut il faire? » ou « que faut il penser? ». <strong>Kojima propose à son joueur d&rsquo;en faire l&rsquo;expérience et d&rsquo;y réfléchir lui même, d&rsquo;extraire sa propre vérité dans tout cela.</strong> Puisque cette course ne fait pas de sens, à chacun d&rsquo;en donner un à son existence. <strong>A chacun d&rsquo;affronter le monde et de faire son propre diagnostic sur son identité et sa raison de vivre.</strong></p>

<p>MGSV est donc une oeuvre qui dépasse son statut de jeu. Il entre dans ma conception du Post-Mario pour transmettre à son joueur une expérience qui vivra avec lui. A l&rsquo;image d&rsquo;un chapitre 3: Peace qui n&rsquo;existe pas car c&rsquo;est à lui de le batir. </p>



<p>« <em>A partir de maintenant, tu es Big Boss</em>« , dans cet espace vide « <em>Demain est entre tes mains</em>« </p>
