  • We are finally finishing the last Story Of... In Metal Gear Canon. Let's take a trip back to the year I was born and celebrate the sequel that almost didn't happen - Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Who knew an NES title named Snakes Revenge would push the Metal Gear franchise - and Hideo Kojima - in a whole new direction?
    A retired Solid Snake is called back into action when Zanzibar Land kidnaps a very important scientist and becomes the sole nuclear power in the world.
    Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake MSX2
    Mobile: Japan
    Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence / Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
    Konami
    1990

    While making this video I decided I am going to make a "how MG1 + 2 shaped the franchise" edit detailing all the similarities and callbacks to the two originals throughout the franchise. Since many people still haven't played (or in my case, finished because it's hard lol) there may be a lot of details that fall through the cracks. The beauty is in the details and I didn't want to bombard this video with references so look for that in the next couple weeks! :)

    Hey I have never heard of you before this video.I was going through the history of metal gear and wanted a refresher course on metal gear 2. When I found you. I listened to the whole thing believing that you had at least 300k subscribers, this video had 50k likes and you had a full community. I did not expect such presentation, quality, and a talented raconteur for someone this early in the TH-cam career. You are going to dominate this niche

    The line that sounds like TPP is how Zanzibarland seized every nuclear weapon.
    Looking at TPP infiltration missions to neutralise nuke stuff around the world, this subject was well used 25 years before TPP.
    Every Metal Gear game have connections between each other, that one is part of it.

    I finally decided to play for the first time the whole Metal Gear franchise, so I bought the Metal Gear Solid Legacy Collection for the PS3, tried to play the MSXs ones, but it's so hard and the are a lot backtracking that I decided to watch TH-cam videos, now I feel prepared to play Metal Gear Solid, hope that I can finish that one

    I agree with the guys here, the remake should've been MG+MG2 in a single game, keeping it simple, but taking it to modern levels of graphics, sound, and gameplay.
    Chapter I could be MG and Chapter II MG2.
    I don't know why, but I imagine something more like MGS2 and 3 than 5 with that hypothetical remake.

    The neat thing about this and metal gear solid is that they follow the same story beats but with different characters and locations I’ve only played the metal gear solid games and only knew about metal gear and metal gear 2 from my instruction manual and it said the games only came out in Japan which would be the case until metal gear 2 was included in metal gear solid 3!

    Great video on this! Im watching these in order of the playlist on your channel and i got a little confused about the ending of this one. Is this big boss... the real big boss? Or is it venom again? At the end of your first Metal Gear video you mentioned the twist with phantom pain so im a little confused who is who in this game

    • @ItsAmandaLemon
      @ItsAmandaLemon  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I'm so grateful for these videos. I'm just getting into the metal gear franchise but these games HAVE NOT aged well. I understand that people love these game. but getting into it in 2023 just isn't for me lol. I finished the first one but it was actually insufferable for me. the backtracking and the map design was a huge turn off for me. I get that for 1987 standards the game was great, but 36 years later... it's rough.
    at least MGS1 is much better in the gameplay department as well as MGS2 and ESPECIALLY 3.

    Snake left Holly for the same reason he left Meryl. His PTSD nightmares and struggles with finding purpose in life. In the end Big Boss was right to an extent. Snake knew nothing but combat and could never truly live his life in peace... That is before Big Boss in MGS4 told him it's finally time to set aside the gun and live as not a soldier, but as a man. I think after he broke up with Meryl, that's why he never perused another relationship after. Although he did show a bit of interest in Otacon's sister. Lol
