AND that was totally fine. The Cobras were a bunch of tough weird motherfuckers. I think we should go back there, when super abilities were not supposed to be heavily explained with some cheap cop outs like parasites or nanomachines. Like in MGS. Psycho Mantis? Psychic powers. How do they exactly work? Who the fuck cares? No parasites nor nanofucks. Just be more creative with those powers, enough with nanomachines and parasites stuff, just move on. IF we need to have more people with superpowers. I don't think it is mandatory. I guess the only mandatory thing in a Metal Gear game is the Metal Gear.
