The funniest/worst thing about Hayter not coming back for Snake is that a german game studio, Daedalic was able to get David Hayter for a small cameo in Deponia 4, a point and click game, to voice the main character for all of 20 minutes. And hes referred to as "Solid Rufus."

Yeah, I firmly believe that David Hayter should have made an appearance for that last mission to the hospital, if for nothing but nostalgia for the fans. I really hope there's a remaster of MGSV with David voicing Snake, as well as the final mission in the Eli storyline.

You know Kojima cut that Eli mission a long time before release, right? It wasn't a budgetary issue. He wasn't going to do it either way. Plus he made MGS4 in under half the time, and you don't license that many pop songs if you're struggling with your budget. Kojima caused his own troubles.

Ground zeroes was the only metal gear game i replayed more cause it made me feel uneasy. A moment where an anime/novel came to life and made me feel dirty and wrong for the hidden tapes i found . Respected 🙌
27:44 This is a line i think about a lot. "What (Paz) can technically be classified as a loli" Because, i mean, yeah. Paz is, in a way, an unironic, non anime-esque loli.

You said the Deja Vu mission was a slap in the face to the fans of MGS1, but I'd argue that Ground Zeroes (and to an extent the whole of MGS5) is a slap in the face to fans of Peace Walker. Like, I get it. Kojima wanted to make his serious game and PW was so goofy that any move back to normalcy, even to MGS1 or 2's warped sense of "normal" would be a shift (you don't just go from a game where you can literally develop Doritos as a healing item or create a fully functional cardboard tank back to normal). But taking the two youngest characters, even if one was the villain, then torturing (with graphic recordings to boot!) and killing them, is like... super fucked up. And I'm sure that Kojima thought that he was being very subtle and clever by doing that with the youngest too. Baby time is over, time for shit to get real. It all just put such a bad taste in my mouth about the whole experience. Still does to an extent.

SPOILERS if you haven't watch all of Uncle's MGSV vids. I'm pretty sure this is every eyebrow raiser in Part 1, but let me know if I missed anything: 1:50 The first Trumpet, the song is Dance of the Judge (it's pretty good go listen to it). Its debatable. Still leaving it here just in case. 2:53 Same song, but we know all know that melody. 10:25 Man, it's almost like Huey did that on purpose. Really makes you think. Also take note of Big Boss's shadow. His shadow is nothing like that in TPP. 20:43 "You can tell he's important because they reused Kiefer Sutherland to voice him." In Part 2 we learn the Medic died in the crash. So he's not important, right? 21:21 This is all Huey's fucking fault! 29:09 The Tape. He told us to remember it. He never brings it up again. 40:39 We never see this scene in the review. 42:00 "You, the Player" as it shows Venom. This contrasts the Uncle directly addressing us at 40:10. He could've just pointed at us again. 42:10 "As I've stated before in the beginning, spoiling every Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid game." Thanks again to @daedalus6796 Uncle only really goes over the start to end of MGSV, not the post end. He barely says much about the other games throughout the series. Though, he will cover more with the supercut it seems. Read the pinned comment. 42:22 This whole monologue is like foreshadowing for the direction of these videos. Thanks to JDraks for pointing this out.
Another thing that may be worth mentioning: 42:10 Uncle says that he will cover the whole end to post-end. Also that he will be spoiling every Metal Gear AND Metal Gear Solid game. I don't believe he's really gone into detail about the original Metal Gears beyond short references.
I got this video recommended to me and decided to give it a watch, since I haven’t seen anything about MGS in a while. I was watching it as a background noise, while playing some games. But one thing caught my attention. Is that Sly Cooper’s theme from the Condessa level? I would know that song from a mile… Just earned a sub and a like, good sir :) Edit: Woah, Paris’ theme too?! I’m so happy that my two favourite sagas are loved by many
Commenting here for anybody who’s looking later on/interested in the ARG. If you didn’t know. If you turn captions on there’s hidden messages. They are as follows “You Searched for a metaphor here, didn’t you?” 0:00 - 12:24 “You were misled by a cutoff and believe it meant more than it really did. You were so entrenched in the lie, that you didn’t notice the truth right in front of you” 12:25 - 13:45 “Pretty Ironic Considering the subject matter, don’t you think?” 13:46 - 16:34 “However…” 20:43 - 20:54 “There’s still more to this than you know.” 20:55 - 29:10 “Portopia” 29:11 - 30:18 “Trumpet” 30:19 - 35:57 “!,” “/ZTp18fNdvNw” A couple of notes here. There is a cutoff in the video where there is no captions from 16:35 - 20:43. Right before it cuts off, Boss picks up the “Agent Recording” tape. I believe this is the tape where you can hear Miller’s voice actor say “give her the shot already” when Paz is being tortured/set up for the bomb to be in here. There is a hidden theory that Miller was actually in the room, and betrayed everyone. I think this may be the truth. When Uncle is showing the tapes playing, “Agent Recording” is always in sight and it’s always been played. But has not been mentioned. Right in front of you.” More minor, but the tape that plays static around the “Portopia”caption can be played at the same time and entered in a program with another tape to play a semi working version of Portopia, which is the first game Kojima ever worked on. Uncle says to remember this tape, but it has not been mentioned in the “complete” series yet. There’s something here. Obviously there’s a URL code at the last second of the video. Going to find this and update this post. Uncle, I’m on to you
Peace Walker and MGS4 are the only ones I haven't completed 😕 I was fairly confused during MGS5 but thatnks for clearing most of the story out. Also, I'm ok with Hter being replaced in Phantom pain because Venom is a seperate person but in ground zeroes it's actually Naked Snake so he should have been voiced by David Hater.
Man i hate everything multi-player about this game. Not just Online, but Fob missions too. The real lime upgrades, locking our resources, all final tier unlockables being online exclusives meaning there's no value to a story player to get any of the end game upgrades. Just lock us to D rank, and let us enjoy the overpowered guns that we grinded weeks for. When we can already use Raiden, why not let use a rail gun sniper, or a sleep cloud pistol. Every online only upgrade that you can see is just an advertisement to play their pvp, every day long plus wait time is an advertisement to buy their mb coins to speed up the time. Also the moment Kojima decided to make Battle Gear unplayable, it should have been removed from the game entirely. Don't hype us with this thing for such a long time, just to pull the rug out from us. Also again, WHY DOES BALANCING MATTER. restrict it to post game mission replays, give us a D rank, don't just decide that it's too good so we can't have it. Rant aside I still replay it about one a year. Fun game, it just infuriates me the longer I play it until I delete it for another year.
The best description of this game I ever heard was "Its a fantastic game, its just not a good Metal Gear Solid game." Seriously, I love it as a game. Its fun. I replayed it multiple times, it has some good moments, and its visually very impressive even now. I just dont like it much as a Metal Gear game, it really doesnt fit with the rest of the series super well, though I do enjoy the story and it does help explain some of MGS4.
MGSV is the _Gran Turismo_ of tactical gaming - controlling Snake is the closest you can come to "driving a person" Snake is always *exactly* where I want him, aiming at the *exact* point, moving the *exact* speed and stance I intended at *exactly* the time I intended it.. very commendable for a 3rd person game and something I never hear mentioned
Reminder that Kojima embezzled MGSV development money to make PT without Konami's approval and released it, again, without Konami's approval. Diverted fund for MgsV to make PT when he was vive president of Konami
The Polanski case was really serious. Like there was no mitigating factors. It was exactly as bad as people think. But it also happened a long time ago.
I mean "insisting on the highest standards" is the type of business jargon you hear at every company, it feels weird to criticize Kojima for paying for music and just not using it. And saying it hurt Konamis bottom line is laughable when you consider it made 180 million dollars on just its opening day, with a 80 million dollar budget...
I remember ground zeroes being full rrp at release and that was fucking egregious but it did go lower relatively fast though as it shouldve. I did like MGS5 but i couldnt stand the whole base system, it got super annoying and boring to the point where i just stopped playing it.
I loved ground zeroes and have played all of the metal gear solid games but for some reason, I could not get into the phantom pain. I never got past the second or third mission. I've tried to revisit it multiple times and failed to be entertained by it. I put in more time watching videos on the game than I have actually playing it.
@@RaneBoDasch for me it was the sheer lack of urban areas. No indoors, No groznyj grad, no shadow moses, no big shell, heck I would’ve even taken a camp omega… nope, we just got a whole lot of 2 big empty maps… And a lack of interesting boss fights.
I think the Paz Chico stuff was done in poor taste. Like having the tortured and beaten is enough we don't need explicit audio of implied rape and child exploitation to understand that Skull Face is bad.
No more poor in taste than stuff like "Come and See" in my opinion. It wasn't necessary, but I don't think it's boundary-breaking, especially considering that it's japanese media. Hellsing had corpse rape. And even more so considering that it's something I assume a large part of the game's players won't even know about because they only listened to the briefings.
@@CErra310its boundary breaking for metal gear. This is the same series that has a man with a codename for Otaku Convention and a psychic that "moves your controller with his mind alone." Fuck sake this is the same franchise that has PARA-MEDIC in it. And its so legitimately strange for you to say "its normal for japanese media" as if dark themes are unique to japan i fucking HATE that defense. The shit with Paz and Chico is like if after a decade of the shit in Naruto, Boruto starts out with a bunch of kids getting ripped apart and raped. That would NOT fit the setting.
I’d believe you if there wasn’t like 15 minutes worth of boring in the hospital mission, which you have to do again at the end. The rest of the game though? I buy it.
I loved Ground Zeroes. The gameplay got me pretty excited for the Phantom Pain. The stuff with Paz and Chico really made me sick and I can't tell you how much I hated Skull Face. But it made the way he died in TPP really unsatisfying and after he died I lost interest. They made a good villain and wasted him which is to bad. Great video by the way!
They stopped there grades and the equipment but carried on leaving it up what’s the point? Complete mystery if you ask me they should’ve gone bk in time n made it properly
TPP is absolutely phenomenal. Without all the whole Kojima-Konami controversy and if there wasn't so much leftover evidence of cut content and it just released as is it probably wouldn't have been criticized nearly as much imo. MGSV was my first MGS game so my opinion doesn't reeaaaaaaly matter but I loved what they did with with the story. Making the end of chapter 1 the bombastic blockbuster action movie ending where you fight the big robot and get the bad guy and everybody's happy. When I played the game as a kid I thought that was the ending and I was satisfied with that as the ending, that how things are supposed to end. Then maybe about 1-2 years later I heard about some of the shit that happens and realized that was in fact NOT the end, so I continued and like most other people noticed that lots of stuff was off, the weird repeating missions, the obvious cut content and the fact that no, its really not a happy ending because that's really just not how war, and the world works, shit hit 16 year old me hard. (also with me not knowing anything about the MGS lore that ending twist fucked my brain up and sent me down an rabbit hole of lore videos and explanations) I know im probably just delusional but I choose to believe that chapter 2 is purposefully designed to be unfinished In order to give the you, the player a sort of meta "Phantom Pain" for the game that could have been and to give the player a sort of emptiness feeling similar to the characters. Anyway im not good enough at analyzing art to know wtf it all actually means and that's why have smart TH-cam video essay people to explain it for me, so I cant wait for part 2!
I don't think that the story is unfinished. there is that infamous footage where Venom Snake goes after White Mamba and Sahelanthropus but i really think that was cut on purpose because it wasnt good. Its just a deleted plot thread that was going to make a mess of the story if they carried it forward. I think your interpretation of the game is a rock solid interpretation. many people agree with that interpretation of the story.
The Phantom Pain was my first MGS game and it's becoming my favourite game of all time. It has flaws but it's so out weighed by the good that they don't seem like they're there. There's something about the game that makes it so much better than most games, but I've never been able to figure it out. I also really liked the video and cannot wait for part 2, and I also keep checking for it.
I became obsessed with this game because of the cut scenes. it doesn't overload you with them like some games do but instead leaves you wanting much more. and there is something special about the cutscenes in this game. the way they are directed (the camera movement, the lighting, the motion capture) the way they are voice acted. they are haunting and mesmerizing. You have to do a bit of homework with the tapes to understand it all but its such an amazing story even though its disjointed.
I was so scared you deleted your channel. Your MGS video won't appear in my history for some reason. I had even watched it 4-5 times. Weird. Glad to wait for part 2! Just happy you're still around. :)
Thank God you got both for 3 I got ground zeros for 20 dollars back in the day thinking it was the phantom pain and got a bit peeved but I loved it and played it so many times I got my money's worth then when the phantom pain released got it day one and played for a month straight only game I would play took alot of time grinding the first few missions just to see the different ways to play
Never have I loved a game and absolutely despised it at the same time. This is the only MGS game I’ve ever played so I don’t know the lore and where this game stands with fans but from what I played, and tried my best to understand the lore from videos and the in game tapes. I really enjoyed it until the “ending” felt kinda unsatisfying and then playing the replay levels made me absolutely hate the game more since they don’t even re contextualise the story, they’re just there for filler and upon getting the actual ending I was pretty satisfied. Whatever this game is Kojima created a work of art that he (mostly) wanted to make. I’ve heard Konami were really up hideos ass with this one
"It's plot is a huge mess" can not only be said about MGS 4, but about the whole series. It's close to if not my favorite game series ever, but that's in spite of the story. I always thought the game play was so good it made up for the story being absolute convoluted nonsense. I literally quit following the story at some point around 3 or 4. I've played way over a thousand hours of MGS V and I've never listened to a single tape. 😆
I wouldn't say the plot is a mess for the _whole_ series. I think MGS 1-3 (and I guess Metal Gear 1 & 2 although I've not played them, but I feel like MGS 1 summarizes them well enough for me to get the gist) actually make a pretty decent and understandable story. 2's ending is a mindfuck but it's supposed to be. 3 is just a prologue on how one guy got so burned by the government that it turned him into Big Boss. If Kojima had not never made Peace Walker or 5, the transition from 3 to 1 would still be perfectly understandable. It's at 4 when things get wacky, and if even if PW and 5 are more sane, they are notably weirder than 1-3.
@@TwoPairSA everyone talks about how genius Mgs2's story is and I played it multiple times and it's just an incoherent mess...Not nearly as bad as 4 and 5 tho 1 and 3 had at least something that made sense
Meanwhile, Metal Gear Rising only alludes to details from older games, most of which in optional codec calls, it has tight, short bouts of dialogue, and the story, especially during boss fights, plays like a theatrical production, which is brilliant for a story that rides the line between serious and batshit insane.

21:21 This is all Huey's fucking fault!
29:09 The Tape. He told us to remember it. He never brings it up again.
40:39 We never see this scene in the review.
42:00 "You, the Player" as it shows Venom. This contrasts the Uncle directly addressing us at 40:10. He could've just pointed at us again.
42:10 "As I've stated before in the beginning, spoiling every Metal Gear and Metal Gear Solid game." Thanks again to @daedalus6796 Uncle only really goes over the start to end of MGSV, not the post end. He barely says much about the other games throughout the series. Though, he will cover more with the supercut it seems. Read the pinned comment.
42:22 This whole monologue is like foreshadowing for the direction of these videos. Thanks to JDraks for pointing this out.
Another thing that may be worth mentioning:
42:10 Uncle says that he will cover the whole end to post-end. Also that he will be spoiling every Metal Gear AND Metal Gear Solid game. I don't believe he's really gone into detail about the original Metal Gears beyond short references.
@@daedalus6796 Yeah, you're right. He hasn't! Thanks for pointing that out.
42:23 definitely feels significant given how the whole monologue ties in to the ongoing "story" of the Phantom Pain videos
I got this video recommended to me and decided to give it a watch, since I haven’t seen anything about MGS in a while. I was watching it as a background noise, while playing some games.
But one thing caught my attention. Is that Sly Cooper’s theme from the Condessa level? I would know that song from a mile… Just earned a sub and a like, good sir :)
Edit: Woah, Paris’ theme too?! I’m so happy that my two favourite sagas are loved by many
"Who the fuck are you?" was my exact reaction
Definitely
“How could you, Roxas?” 40:48
That one caught me off guard not gonna lie 😂😂😂. Love me some Kingdomhearts 2 ❤️🔥
Why is there no playlist for these yet? I love your videos and will listen to them when working till the day you die
Commenting here for anybody who’s looking later on/interested in the ARG. If you didn’t know. If you turn captions on there’s hidden messages. They are as follows
“You Searched for a metaphor here, didn’t you?”
0:00 - 12:24
“You were misled by a cutoff and believe it meant more than it really did. You were so entrenched in the lie, that you didn’t notice the truth right in front of you”
12:25 - 13:45
“Pretty Ironic Considering the subject matter, don’t you think?”
13:46 - 16:34
“However…”
20:43 - 20:54
“There’s still more to this than you know.”
20:55 - 29:10
“Portopia”
29:11 - 30:18
“Trumpet”
30:19 - 35:57
“!,”
“/ZTp18fNdvNw”
A couple of notes here. There is a cutoff in the video where there is no captions from 16:35 - 20:43. Right before it cuts off, Boss picks up the “Agent Recording” tape. I believe this is the tape where you can hear Miller’s voice actor say “give her the shot already” when Paz is being tortured/set up for the bomb to be in here. There is a hidden theory that Miller was actually in the room, and betrayed everyone. I think this may be the truth. When Uncle is showing the tapes playing, “Agent Recording” is always in sight and it’s always been played. But has not been mentioned. Right in front of you.”
More minor, but the tape that plays static around the “Portopia”caption can be played at the same time and entered in a program with another tape to play a semi working version of Portopia, which is the first game Kojima ever worked on. Uncle says to remember this tape, but it has not been mentioned in the “complete” series yet. There’s something here.
Obviously there’s a URL code at the last second of the video. Going to find this and update this post.
Uncle, I’m on to you
I salute you, amazing work! I hope this ARG can be solved.
Just finished part 2 and I'm back because I love your stuff
Im always a sucker for Sly Cooper music, so fantastic addition on that front.
Peace Walker and MGS4 are the only ones I haven't completed 😕
I was fairly confused during MGS5 but thatnks for clearing most of the story out. Also, I'm ok with Hter being replaced in Phantom pain because Venom is a seperate person but in ground zeroes it's actually Naked Snake so he should have been voiced by David Hater.
I bought the definitive edition of MGSV for 4 dollars on digital sale a couple weeks ago. thats ridiculous!
Man i hate everything multi-player about this game. Not just Online, but Fob missions too. The real lime upgrades, locking our resources, all final tier unlockables being online exclusives meaning there's no value to a story player to get any of the end game upgrades. Just lock us to D rank, and let us enjoy the overpowered guns that we grinded weeks for. When we can already use Raiden, why not let use a rail gun sniper, or a sleep cloud pistol. Every online only upgrade that you can see is just an advertisement to play their pvp, every day long plus wait time is an advertisement to buy their mb coins to speed up the time.
Also the moment Kojima decided to make Battle Gear unplayable, it should have been removed from the game entirely. Don't hype us with this thing for such a long time, just to pull the rug out from us. Also again, WHY DOES BALANCING MATTER. restrict it to post game mission replays, give us a D rank, don't just decide that it's too good so we can't have it.
Rant aside I still replay it about one a year. Fun game, it just infuriates me the longer I play it until I delete it for another year.
The best description of this game I ever heard was "Its a fantastic game, its just not a good Metal Gear Solid game."
Seriously, I love it as a game. Its fun. I replayed it multiple times, it has some good moments, and its visually very impressive even now.
I just dont like it much as a Metal Gear game, it really doesnt fit with the rest of the series super well, though I do enjoy the story and it does help explain some of MGS4.
Writing and editing on point.
Thank you for this great video. 😊
MGSV is the _Gran Turismo_ of tactical gaming - controlling Snake is the closest you can come to "driving a person"
Snake is always *exactly* where I want him, aiming at the *exact* point, moving the *exact* speed and stance I intended at *exactly* the time I intended it.. very commendable for a 3rd person game and something I never hear mentioned
this is until you crawl over a medium sized rock sticking out of the ground and snake then gets up causing you to be instantly spotted
@@kabbablabba4073 See rock. Avoid rock. Stelf.
"Players will not be disappointed"
*Proceeds to read title of the video*
Ground Zeroes? More like Payable Teaser!
I just wanna say that I recognize the Sly Cooper 2 music. That game was my childhood. Good video btw👍
Reminder that Kojima embezzled MGSV development money to make PT without Konami's approval and released it, again, without Konami's approval. Diverted fund for MgsV to make PT when he was vive president of Konami
FELAS, FELAS, ACTIVATE THE SUBTITLES
Never makes part 2. Just leaves us with this Phantom Pain (bad theory, I guess)
Updated video, nice.
why yes i will watch and comment again for the excellent content
The Polanski case was really serious. Like there was no mitigating factors. It was exactly as bad as people think. But it also happened a long time ago.
Fifty years is a long, long time.
Ngl nice video liked your video style. Well can't wait for part 2
the Phantom Pain is almost 10 years old.....time is blazing quickly.
You could say this is "Metal Gear Solid 5 Sucks and I Love It: Final Mix" ?
Your channel is about to grow massively.
I mean "insisting on the highest standards" is the type of business jargon you hear at every company, it feels weird to criticize Kojima for paying for music and just not using it. And saying it hurt Konamis bottom line is laughable when you consider it made 180 million dollars on just its opening day, with a 80 million dollar budget...
I remember ground zeroes being full rrp at release and that was fucking egregious but it did go lower relatively fast though as it shouldve. I did like MGS5 but i couldnt stand the whole base system, it got super annoying and boring to the point where i just stopped playing it.
I loved ground zeroes and have played all of the metal gear solid games but for some reason, I could not get into the phantom pain. I never got past the second or third mission. I've tried to revisit it multiple times and failed to be entertained by it. I put in more time watching videos on the game than I have actually playing it.
@@RaneBoDasch for me it was the sheer lack of urban areas. No indoors, No groznyj grad, no shadow moses, no big shell, heck I would’ve even taken a camp omega… nope, we just got a whole lot of 2 big empty maps…
And a lack of interesting boss fights.
Wasn't it $40 at release?
@@durakeno5575 Yeah the map was dry AF and lacking in substance. Maybe I'll revisit it if LSD is ever legalized.
Couldn't disagree more. Ground Zeroes is the only good part of MGSV.
theres something wrong with the subtitles at least at the start.
I will gladly reward a desire for perfectionism with a rewatch, yeah, absolutely.
VERDELISH!?!?!??!?!? LETS GOOO
I think the Paz Chico stuff was done in poor taste. Like having the tortured and beaten is enough we don't need explicit audio of implied rape and child exploitation to understand that Skull Face is bad.
No more poor in taste than stuff like "Come and See" in my opinion. It wasn't necessary, but I don't think it's boundary-breaking, especially considering that it's japanese media. Hellsing had corpse rape. And even more so considering that it's something I assume a large part of the game's players won't even know about because they only listened to the briefings.
@@CErra310its boundary breaking for metal gear. This is the same series that has a man with a codename for Otaku Convention and a psychic that "moves your controller with his mind alone."
Fuck sake this is the same franchise that has PARA-MEDIC in it.
And its so legitimately strange for you to say "its normal for japanese media" as if dark themes are unique to japan i fucking HATE that defense.
The shit with Paz and Chico is like if after a decade of the shit in Naruto, Boruto starts out with a bunch of kids getting ripped apart and raped.
That would NOT fit the setting.
I felt ripped when i beat the main campaign in 30 minutes.
I’d believe you if there wasn’t like 15 minutes worth of boring in the hospital mission, which you have to do again at the end.
The rest of the game though? I buy it.
What I hated about the Deja Vu mission was that you're playing as Big Boss...it was never Big Boss in MGS Solid. It was a nostalgia jerk off
I loved Ground Zeroes. The gameplay got me pretty excited for the Phantom Pain. The stuff with Paz and Chico really made me sick and I can't tell you how much I hated Skull Face.
But it made the way he died in TPP really unsatisfying and after he died I lost interest.
They made a good villain and wasted him which is to bad. Great video by the way!
But the price of GZ is BS. Forgot to mention that. Make it a preorder bonus or something.
You're lucky I like your stuff and that I listen to this while drawing. 👍
It just occurred to me that there's no Part 2 coming, as a reference to the unfinished video game.
That would be the smart move. But no, part 2 is in the works.
@@askyouruncle I didn't know I could be so happy and so disappointed at the same time
Wait, Miller is Liquid?? I knew that but forgot watching while watching the Peacewalker video due to his different hairstyle
Not literally
Mother 3 Music AND Sly Cooper Music on my Metal Gear video? Take my sub then dammit.
Patriots is an AI, the Cipher is the group around it which made it.
29:27 Sorry if I'm dumb and just missed this part of the video, but when did you talk about this tape again?
Lol this is awesome. Randomly across your channel. Great vid, subbed
Wait wtf was with the last Data Cassette then?
Remember it
It's a surprise tool that will help us later
They stopped there grades and the equipment but carried on leaving it up what’s the point? Complete mystery if you ask me they should’ve gone bk in time n made it properly
back to see the captions, devious kojima style work
Fine, get your second view.
I don’t remember paying for Ground Zeroes before MGSV was released on Steam? Wasn’t it free?
Ahh!
...you almost had me there.
Is that sly 3 music in the back ground when you first talk about the infil into camp omega??
MGS5 sucks. Doesn’t even feel like a Metal Gear game. Didn’t even finish the story.
The chico tapes are absolutely horrifying, but shit like this makes a war hero/world savior into a absolute evil demon.
TPP is absolutely phenomenal. Without all the whole Kojima-Konami controversy and if there wasn't so much leftover evidence of cut content and it just released as is it probably wouldn't have been criticized nearly as much imo.
MGSV was my first MGS game so my opinion doesn't reeaaaaaaly matter but I loved what they did with with the story. Making the end of chapter 1 the bombastic blockbuster action movie ending where you fight the big robot and get the bad guy and everybody's happy. When I played the game as a kid I thought that was the ending and I was satisfied with that as the ending, that how things are supposed to end. Then maybe about 1-2 years later I heard about some of the shit that happens and realized that was in fact NOT the end, so I continued and like most other people noticed that lots of stuff was off, the weird repeating missions, the obvious cut content and the fact that no, its really not a happy ending because that's really just not how war, and the world works, shit hit 16 year old me hard. (also with me not knowing anything about the MGS lore that ending twist fucked my brain up and sent me down an rabbit hole of lore videos and explanations)
I know im probably just delusional but I choose to believe that chapter 2 is purposefully designed to be unfinished In order to give the you, the player a sort of meta "Phantom Pain" for the game that could have been and to give the player a sort of emptiness feeling similar to the characters. Anyway im not good enough at analyzing art to know wtf it all actually means and that's why have smart TH-cam video essay people to explain it for me, so I cant wait for part 2!
I don't think that the story is unfinished. there is that infamous footage where Venom Snake goes after White Mamba and Sahelanthropus but i really think that was cut on purpose because it wasnt good. Its just a deleted plot thread that was going to make a mess of the story if they carried it forward.
I think your interpretation of the game is a rock solid interpretation. many people agree with that interpretation of the story.
The Phantom Pain was my first MGS game and it's becoming my favourite game of all time. It has flaws but it's so out weighed by the good that they don't seem like they're there. There's something about the game that makes it so much better than most games, but I've never been able to figure it out. I also really liked the video and cannot wait for part 2, and I also keep checking for it.
I became obsessed with this game because of the cut scenes. it doesn't overload you with them like some games do but instead leaves you wanting much more. and there is something special about the cutscenes in this game. the way they are directed (the camera movement, the lighting, the motion capture) the way they are voice acted. they are haunting and mesmerizing.
You have to do a bit of homework with the tapes to understand it all but its such an amazing story even though its disjointed.
@@djangofett4879 would you like an essay on it from a fan since the first metal gear on ps1?
These videos got me through a rough patch.
Zeros was free when MGSV was about to launch out on psn
40:40 - 40:46
"Raiden squeeze my hog" someone's a vinesuace fan
I was so scared you deleted your channel. Your MGS video won't appear in my history for some reason. I had even watched it 4-5 times. Weird. Glad to wait for part 2! Just happy you're still around. :)
This is a reupload of the original
20:35 Field Medic 😂
recently got mgs5 for three bucks on a sale for both games at once
i win
I'd say ground zeroes should have been ten maybe fifteen bucks
Thank God you got both for 3 I got ground zeros for 20 dollars back in the day thinking it was the phantom pain and got a bit peeved but I loved it and played it so many times I got my money's worth then when the phantom pain released got it day one and played for a month straight only game I would play took alot of time grinding the first few missions just to see the different ways to play
I think Mark Hamill just happened to read "Metal gear solidS" instead of "Metal gear solid5"
.."METAL GEAR SOLIDZZZZ" 😂
I would assume it was spelled V instead of 5
Never have I loved a game and absolutely despised it at the same time. This is the only MGS game I’ve ever played so I don’t know the lore and where this game stands with fans but from what I played, and tried my best to understand the lore from videos and the in game tapes. I really enjoyed it until the “ending” felt kinda unsatisfying and then playing the replay levels made me absolutely hate the game more since they don’t even re contextualise the story, they’re just there for filler and upon getting the actual ending I was pretty satisfied. Whatever this game is Kojima created a work of art that he (mostly) wanted to make. I’ve heard Konami were really up hideos ass with this one
I mean, you cant forget the game lacks a TRIRD PART
Time to take the pilgrimage again
I’m still remembering the tape fr
Oh man a video I haven't seen before glad I get to watch it for the very first time from such a great creater~
Why was the original taken down?

Kojima was so far ahead of his time he got cancelled as a marketing ploy
"It's plot is a huge mess" can not only be said about MGS 4, but about the whole series. It's close to if not my favorite game series ever, but that's in spite of the story. I always thought the game play was so good it made up for the story being absolute convoluted nonsense. I literally quit following the story at some point around 3 or 4. I've played way over a thousand hours of MGS V and I've never listened to a single tape. 😆
I wouldn't say the plot is a mess for the _whole_ series. I think MGS 1-3 (and I guess Metal Gear 1 & 2 although I've not played them, but I feel like MGS 1 summarizes them well enough for me to get the gist) actually make a pretty decent and understandable story. 2's ending is a mindfuck but it's supposed to be. 3 is just a prologue on how one guy got so burned by the government that it turned him into Big Boss. If Kojima had not never made Peace Walker or 5, the transition from 3 to 1 would still be perfectly understandable. It's at 4 when things get wacky, and if even if PW and 5 are more sane, they are notably weirder than 1-3.
@@TwoPairSA That's fair. I always loved the gameplay so much that it made up for what the story was lacking, to me.
@@TwoPairSA everyone talks about how genius Mgs2's story is and I played it multiple times and it's just an incoherent mess...Not nearly as bad as 4 and 5 tho
1 and 3 had at least something that made sense
Meanwhile, Metal Gear Rising only alludes to details from older games, most of which in optional codec calls, it has tight, short bouts of dialogue, and the story, especially during boss fights, plays like a theatrical production, which is brilliant for a story that rides the line between serious and batshit insane.
Unless they changed something, you can transfer P.T. to a newer ps4. That's how I have it on my ps4 pro.
Dumping Hayter is probably the worst thing about MGS V
because ily im gonna rewatch it all from the start
