@kamimatsu: Well that's justified since it's a prequel and there can't be any continuity errors. Basically, they get a free pass to not die.

If a bad guy is gonna canonically die, I want to be the one to finish them, not a QTE or a cutscene.

@Chameloshi: Does Fable 2 count? You can just shoot the villain mid-monologue. Or Kalas and Melodia from Baten Kaitos, both of whom you created, one of which has literally everyone as the father?

@Chameloshi: Oh, and fun fact: If you do kill Ocelot in the remastered versions of MGS3, you'll get an achievement called "Problem Solved, Series Over".

Hideo Kojima earned the right to put himself into any game he makes (which he did in MGSV).
