I think my two most favorite quotes from Metal Gear are:

I can't believe I never noticed that Big Boss used Venom just like the US used Big Boss.

I like how the enemy NPC has human dialogue, like the Soviets talking about how they want to go home and see their families. Too many games depicts enemies as thoughtless emotionless faceless monsters to be destroyed and demonized when in reality in war you will have to face other human beings not some faceless npc. After hearing their human side, it makes you want to take the non-lethal approach.

Just gonna say this. Mandatory codec calls built suspense and were probably my favorite part of the series. I missed it severely playing MGSV.
