I agree, I really like Solidus as a character and a Villain. He’s one of those characters at the end of the game when you beat him you ask yourself “was he the good guy? Or the bad guy?” I just wish he wasn’t kinda like a throwaway villain.
i think that solidus's major exclusion from the rest of the series is actually pretty clever, considering that he was so intent on remaining as an "exon" in history and ironically became an "intron". it's certainly sad, because he was an amazing character, but it also shows how effective the patriots were at censoring information.
even his final words in the game are hidden or "censored" and when he comes back to play a dead body in MGS 4, he finally fulfilled his purpose of being a perfect clone of BB by being his dead body double
This was a really fun fight. I loved how Raiden plays differently as he's a lot more agile than Snake so the fight feels much more dynamic. Solidus was a cool character and this ost really fights him. Gives hints of intrigue and mystery but an underlying tone of aggression. It's not too over the top, but just memorable enough. Always blown away by Metal Gear Solid's osts.
I have to agree with you as well as to say I think in terms of a final boss theme I think this has to be the best in all of metal gear even if it doesn't make the same emotional impact as the other final boss themes it's got that really intense pressure feel a final boss theme should have.
@@trickmaster5632 Metal Gear is such a good series; I love all the games for different reasons. But 2 will always be the first one I played so it has a ton of nostalgia for me haha.
Im going to be honest, this game was not only totally ahead of its time, but was also right. I started respecting Kojima with this game, and his vision of the future of the internet, complemented with the manipulation of Raiden. This game, was literally in the future.
Kojima didn't invent it, he's a massive film buff and this kinda stuff has been a topic in movies for ages, he just took bits and pieces from cool movies he liked and stitched together, has does have good taste though, the biggest danger is that gaming might lose Kojima to hollywood, because his passion is still clearly in the movie industry and he's inching closer towards it all the time
@@liquidsnake6879exactly not only that that he took bits and pieces from stuff but these kojima wishipers also keep forgetting it was actually Fukushima that wrote the best idea storys of MGS1 MGS2 and MGS3 then well part 4 and especially 5 happened and show clear as day signs kojima is the George Lucas of his franchise and can't write for s### In truth it's Fukushima you all want to give credit to Iam pretty sure if he would have stayed with the team MGS4 and Especially 5 would have been absolute master pieces especially with continuity but unfortunately we don't live in that universe UGH 😕😔😑 But hey me telling this to people who think hideo is a god yeah iam talking to blind Simp sheep here!!!.
"Good work, Jack. Now this is where it gets interesting!" This was my favorite fight and soundtrack in the whole game. Thank you so much for uploading it ☺
I like how nobody ever talks about how Raiden took on 3-20 Metal Gear RAY's at once. In fact in MGR you hear more about the Harrier fight more than you do this fight, and the Harrier fight isn't all that hard.
@@SparkerZed nikita is a valid weapon too, but is too hard to hit them rays, u hit one stinger to the knee, then swap to a nikita and shoot to the mouth
Our Beloved Monsters... Enjoy yourselves! - This is what I think whenever I see radical politicial/any other kind of modern ideologies fighting each other. You are right where they want.
This was one of the only games that left me absolutely fucking flabbergasted by the plot twists (The other being Bioshock 1), amazing story that is more relevant than EVER today.
For those wondering... Yes the ringing that sounds like it's from your ears after a missile blasted right by yeh is from the audio itself. Sooo if you were going crazy wondering wtf it was. Well there you go. Edit: actually... Hang on.. that begs the question WTF IS IT DOING THERE? To aggravate us? I mean good job music producers not only is Kojima already making us go insane but now you too? Where is that Blaring coming from!?
They killed one of the best characters not in the series but in gaming in general. Solidus must have been a hell of a president, like Senator Armstrong.

This is the only game I’ve seen where it introduces a new mechanic at the last 20 minutes of the game and it actually works

@@GrammerPancreas not the last 20 mins
at least DMC3 does with its tag play

Its still not enough for DSP to not complain
Tho I wish you could use the sword on repeated playthroughs from the beginning
Solidus is one of the coolest characters in the series, in terms of design, motivation, voice..... I just wish we would have had more of him.
Same. If there are any flaws in the MGS series, this is one of them.
Solidus always wasn't enough credit not by Kojima nor the community. It is good to see people caring for my boy.
He was the good guy .

you have a funny way of saying I don’t like Metal Gear survive otherwise know as MGSV with more micro-transactions
@@lunar3058 Haha I wouldn't even put survive and V in the same boat. But yeah I feel that lol
Also slight mechanical whirring sometimes fits as well

"Is that the best you can do?"
-Solidus
the 25 RAYs were so hard on E-Extreme
I like how i found that harder than the solidus battle
I like how nobody ever talks about how Raiden took on 3-20 Metal Gear RAY's at once. In fact in MGR you hear more about the Harrier fight more than you do this fight, and the Harrier fight isn't all that hard.
Try to beat them in E-Extreme then
@@scottygaskin3364 that's what I did and that was really hard
Heres a trick unless they changed it all you have to do is put all the metal gears all down to the same health then you pass it. The first three
We're not just pawns in some simulation game, you know!
Yes you are! You're nothing but mere weapons. Not different from fighter jets or tanks.
Oct 2021 This was one hell of a game to platinum, enjoyed it so much, i'm kinda sad it's over
Man, it's 2024, IA "art" is expanding everywhere, we NEED someone like Solidus, in 2002 we KNEW he was the good guy 🥲
the fight in extreme was true hell
As I just figured out tonight. So satisfying delivering the killer blow.
Just like the ost itself.
Yep, I felt like both fights with solidus were the most difficult on Extreme (this one and the harrier battle)
“That is not solid snake!”
0:38 - I can hear the miniguns spooling on multiple RAYs
STANDING HEREEEE I REALI-
Wait.. where am I?
Oh man, I'd give anything to play a reimagined Solidus boss battle with MGR's mechanics.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!"
Using Nikita against those machines was so much adrenaline rushXD
Stinger*
@@SparkerZed nikita is a valid weapon too, but is too hard to hit them rays, u hit one stinger to the knee, then swap to a nikita and shoot to the mouth
Or I would just uses stinger
@@bastianriveros4405 imagine doing this on [Euro] Extreme.
God I love how fucked up this song sounds it fits so perfectly with what it's trying to do I just fucking love it it's so fucking unsettling!!
Mgs2 have the best soundtracks
Couldn't agree more :D
Nah
I still think metal gear rising has the best ost
but mgs2 also have a nice ost
I don't know man, All MGS have great soundtracks

SOLIDUS 2028 (sons of liberty flag emoji)
I miss this game a lot. I don't know why Konami didn't want to bring HD collection to ps4 as well 😞
It's out now bro
For those wondering... Yes the ringing that sounds like it's from your ears after a missile blasted right by yeh is from the audio itself. Sooo if you were going crazy wondering wtf it was. Well there you go.
Edit: actually... Hang on.. that begs the question WTF IS IT DOING THERE? To aggravate us? I mean good job music producers not only is Kojima already making us go insane but now you too? Where is that Blaring coming from!?
Kill Solidus without the sword . I've killed Solidus with mainly cartwheels . Even when he zooms in .
This is so good
That distorted bass is heavenly
We're not just pawns in some simulation, you know!
Tom Olson watched the entire thing
I LOVED this fight on hardest difficulty ( Eruopean). it was real.
Is that the best you can do?
Run, run,run, run, run, let's go
Good work Jack but this is where it gets interesting
We become the boss to surpass big boss with this one 🗣️🗣️🗣️
SCREEEEEEEEEE!!!!
1:53 hard
They killed one of the best characters not in the series but in gaming in general. Solidus must have been a hell of a president, like Senator Armstrong.
hit harder than my dad's belt
Lol
Real
mgs2 is so fucking good
Very good
The audio quality seems to have gone down for some reason. Copyright strike?
1:53 I no remember that part in the soundtrack.
Is that dope music a synth?
This fight is awful when your right analog stick is broken.
Well, is supposed to work fine XD
good thing Melee is a valid strat
Snek
This song plays when you see Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh across the court...
This isn't it. Looking for the real solidus fight extended.
Try the Ray fight, or compare In-Game vs Album versions.
@@GibbousTT yes that was it. this one is album slightly different from in game. thanks!
