    I remember playing MGS4 on the PS3 when it came out, and I was so pumped when Psycho Mantis made an appearance.

    I had just got the console, so I didn’t have any save data for him to find. The controllers that came with it didn’t have dualshock either, so he couldn’t make my controller move.

    In the end, Mantis really just seemed like a confused old man, which honestly fit pretty well into that game. There were a lot of themes about old soldiers aging out, I mean Snake’s body is literally betraying him. But Psycho Mantis’ domain was the mind, so it does seem fitting that he had a senior’s moment with me.
