- The Black sheep of the Metal gear franchise, The one everyone forgets, the one with more ties to X-com and Magic the Gathering than anyone thought possible.
Its time for the insanity that is, METAL GEAR ACID 2, a tactical turn based card driven stealth game… but this time without using the card shop.

The jiggle physics on acid 2 is outta hand in 1080p XD
I guess they really really wanted ppl to see the movement on a tiny handheld screen...
It is hilarious. Also especially as it only jiggles up and down but no other direction
Finally! MG Acid. Why people don't play or talk about this spinoff series more is something I'll never understand.
It's a great game! The 2md on is far more refined than the first. But both of them are a giggle
@@sirrando I really liked it as a kid. Collecting cards, making decks and being an srpg on top was such a fun combo. Along with all the other mechanics, shame it never got more entries or re releases. Definitely am missing the ladies with the big eyes.
It being stuck on an old mobile console probably has to do with it. I've only heard good things about it, but I also only personally knew like 1 person who owned a PSP.
And currently know no one who owns a PSP lol
Here's me hoping it gets added to a master collection volume 2
@@sirrando pass the hopium brother
This was just absolutely amazing, the editing, the pure obscenities, the never ending pain. Top tier video right here.
Thanks! im glad you enjoyed it, I have wanted to show this game off for a while
The sad thing is that people hate this game just because it’s a “card game” but i think it’s an extremely solid game with great mechanics. im glad somebody still make content about acid, great video man!
Thanks! It's a really under appreciated game, one I have far too many hours in. Glad you enjoyed it!
i like metal gear acid but im not a fan of card battlers generally, its unnecessary for the medium and often makes for an ugly cluttered UI
Metal gear acid and metal gear acid 2 are one of my favorite games. I have beaten these two about 20 years back. I'll play them again soon to keep up with the good old times.
They are great games, very underappreciated, shame they are stuck on the psp (for now)
..it has been 20 years where did all that time go?!
Amazing work! God-tier editing (including all that blender stuff) and a great challenge to have beaten.
Big inspiration for me and potential Portable Ops-related challenges & videos!
Glad you liked it. It was a lot of work and is my love letter to a game that never gets any attention.
Looking forwards to seeing some portable ops stuff from you!
Another great watch. I've never heard of the game before but still really enjoyed it. The very subtle jokes sprinkled in always give a chuckle ( *looks at security chief vince section* )
👀
This video is amazing! The cinematic cutscenes are very great and the video in general explains so much of the game. Thanks to you I discovered this game. The challenge is very interesting and hard, this video is so good and fun, there is much work put behind this video, good job rando! 🤘💪👊
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! It was a fun ride putting it together
@@sirrandoHave you decided what challenge awaits you next? 🧐
@@Buccio1509 I think i have....
@@sirrando now I’m getting curious…🤩
I'm blown away by this video and the amount of effort you put into it. Acid 2 is one of my all-time favourite games, yet I've never seen a TH-cam video do it justice like this. Fantastic job laying down your strategies for each room, what each card does and how they combo off each other. The Metal Gear Prototype Factory was a massive difficulty spike for me as a kid, and again as an adult playing on Extreme, and I can imagine that being unable to grind for cards adds a huge layer of difficulty on top of that. The 3D renders of each room and the AI's movement patterns were really cool as well.
Thanks. I really wanted to do justice to this game, it just doesn't get much attention. It's good to see people noticed the effort that went in
Incredible video! The editing was superb and it was super cool learning about a game I never knew existed!
Thanks! glad you enjoyed watching it as much as i did making it
Incredible job with the run, I have fond memories of the first Acid. Also the editing is superb along with wrestling terminology outside of a wrestling video always gets a pop from me!
Man, AC!D and AC!D 2 are so underrated, and your channel too!
Thank you! They are definitely underrated games, i had so much fun with them on the PSP
@@sirrando funny story: I've been a huge MGS fan since I was a kid, one day I was doing errands with my mom and saw a copy of AC!D in the bargain bin of the tech store and implored her to buy it. I was extatic, a brand new Metal Gear I've never heard before! On the way home in the car i started reading the manual as i always did, full of excitement. The more i read the more confused i was. "What the hell is this? A card game??". I started regretting my purchase and feeling sad about the fact that that was not the Metal Gear experience I craved. When i finally got home i booted up my PSP and started playing. After a couple of hours I was hooked. Since then I always thought that AC!D and AC!D 2 (that i found in another bargain bin at the same store some years after that) were weird little gems that not enough people knew about
You sure can, I loved doing a Starter Deck Only run years ago, it's such a fun run.
Great channel, great game! I so wish there was an Acid 3.
Same, but I think that hyope would get monkey pawed by a new version having micro transaction everywhere... imagine it, Acid 3... but the card aquisition of hearthstone
Well done! I did not expect you to be able to complete it.
Thanks! It was a big task, and some parts had me pulling my hair out, bit it worked out well in the end
every time you mention the honkers i was like "alright they have em so what," and it proceeds to do the most outrageous jiggle physics.
The jiggle physics are hillarious, maybe its me being a toddler at heart, but the ridiculousness just makes me laugh
@@sirrando me too but they did not need to make trampolines out of them
This is probably the only video that showcased how to beat the trial missions. Especially that Elsie and Francis one, it gets tricky since the gamefaqs guide never mentioned about ending your turn right after using the E&F card, and the C4 chain reaction stage I also had difficulty trying to follow. Great video!
I did do all of the trials. If you need to know how theybare done the footage is in the atream archive.
Fun fact, this game can run in side-by-side stereoscopic 3D. As "Solid Eye" attachments for the PSP are rarer than hen's teeth though, your best bet to see this is through using an emulator and a VR headset, I used PPSSPP in Big Screen. (Which also works for Dolphin!)
The best bit, you don't need a PPSSPP fork with VR support, because the game will already split the screen on it's own! It certainly needs some upscaling though and I don't remember if the texture bugs were fixed outside of the software renderer but hey, the novelty is there.
The solid eye was wild. And the solid theatre was also kinda mental too. Mine has been lost yo the sands of time unfortunately
@@sirrando Oh, that's gutting mate. D=
I've got a couple of unusual PSP accessories myself so I can sympathise.
I was watching this on my living room TV, and reached for the remote. Wondering why the remote wouldn't skip the ad. That bit really got me 😂
I was waiting for this comment 😂 You are the first. Glad you enjoyed the video
i love how at 1:45 you named like 4 snakes and yet that's still not even all of them haha
Its a mad series isnt it!
Such an underrated game, really hope the next metal gear collection features the metal gear acid games. More people need to play this hidden gem of a game. Great video by the way mate
Same, I would love to have a version with some minor qol updates. It is very often overlooked. Glad you enjoyed it!
*_STRONG AFFINITY FOR HOLDING 2 HARD RODS_*
Okay that 44:10 stuff was impressive
@@CB-L why thank you
Not that anyone asked, but my favorite part of the video is that you included the music spike from MGS3 at 5:43. Every time I hear it, I always find myself imitating that trumpet ^_^
It's a fun bit
@@sirrandoit's cuz your so supreme....
*Epic trumpet* I GIVE MY LIFE, NOT FOR HONOR BUT FOR YOUUUU
I always appreciated the aesthetics of the acid series, especially 2. This was an interesting watch!
Acid 2 is definitely one of the prettier games with a striking artstyle for sure! Glad you liked it
Ive only ever heard about Acid in passing; *_Turn Based Deck Builder MGS?!_* How did I miss out on this?! 2024 will be dedicated to playing this series.
its well worth a shot, the 2nd one smooths out a bunch of rough edges aswell
I'm here from the almighty algorithm and excellent job mate. I played through AC!D 1 and 2 and got some good memories from watching this video. Except for fighting the Metal Gear. That was some bull jive.
Glad you found it! It was a fun run for sure, a few moments had me tearing my hair out though lol
Another great challenge. Any plans on playing the first MG acid? I never finished it myself so I would definitely enjoy that watch.
Possibly, I do like it, but it's hard to go back after the second game. There are a lot of game mechanics that are far more frustrating.
I want to leave the metal gear series alone for a while now and investigate some other games
I love the metal gear acid series. Even though I love the art direction of the first one the second one was always my favorite.
A turnbased stealth game is really interesting
Can you beat MGS4 with only the Tornado Gun?
Can you bear Peace Walker with only the Tornado Gun?
Good vid and great editing mate!
Thanks. Glad you liked it
"Deaths: *1 (child)"
😂
Love this game series. Personally I like the story of ACID more than ACID2 but the gameplay in 2 is so much better. Love your content! Play more MGA please 😭
I might come back and replay the first game. It does have a wild story, I just wish that the movement was the same as acid 2
we all know glowing yellow eyes means friend
Exactly!
good video, i really hope to see more content on this gem and the original. it's funny though, at the same time i kind of dread the idea of young people finding it, it's our secret ;)
I want a 3rd in the series, but i fear it will get monkey pawed by konami adding microtransactions
This games type was really interesting even if it isnt official id say its a solid game btw Keep up the good challenge work lad. Well done with this challenge at such a more or less rng based game
Thanks. I was a little concerned about the RNG. I tend to not like RNG runs or games. But I have a special place in my heart for this one so it gets a pass
@@sirrando this ones RNG is at least more or less consistent as each cards you can still burn for movement even if minimal. But yeah still RNG but good this game has a special place in my heart too it is very unique and hope they make one as good with now MGS 1-5
@megahobbit5972 honestly. The rng in game is very manageable. The thing I was most worried about was the rng for obtaining cards. I just hope this game is on the next master collection
@@sirrando yeah the card rng would be most brutal. So does this mean Acid 1 would be near impossible then? Curious if thats next on the chopping block too.
@@megahobbit5972 still mostly doable I reckon
I remember watching you play this on stream.... Shits wild
Thanks for coming down! It was a wild time that's for sure, glad it all came together
holy shit this looks awesome, hope its on Vol. 2
Great username btw, also, so do I. It needs a rerelease, its a travesty that its been stuck on the PSP
I still have my psp1000 and my copy of acid. this game is GOATED!
Same! Only reason I didn't play on original hardware was because its a pai to capture psp footage
My favorite entry in the series, superb soundtrack to listen on repeat and very unique concepts and designs (Teliko and Venus are amazing), also a never replicated again formula,
It's definitely a hidden gem. I do wish it was reported with a higher resolution
I didn't know this was a thing...well now I must play to say I've played ALL metal gear games
Try it! They are fun spin offs
@@sirrando oh I'll be sure to. It's a series that is only beaten by my memories of the DMC series. Actually unlocked nearly everything on the V, Revengence, and the one with the octopus..dont remember name.
Also I love dnd and similar board games+card based combat systems. So not far off my own enjoyed things
That first metal gear, I just called it the walking soda can.
The second one, as I was thinking of a name, because there's no way I'm calling what they named it.
I learned a hard lesson......IT CAN JUMP?!?!?! Never saw it coming, 2 hours wasted🫠
So I named it Leg Gear. Because that jump was impressive.🧐
Yeah, metal gear doesn't skip leg day for sure
Dude I love this game and the sequel
The acid games are great fun. I wish there was another one. But if it released today, all the card packs would be microtransactions 😬
I have met Ainsley Harriot twice and he is built like a Srick Bhithouse and I'd wager he could snap necks just as easily as snake, but he wouldn't coz he's a lovely guy.
He is in fact a rather large human!
It's possible, it's just a MASSIVE pain in the ass because you have to replay missions incessantly to get good cards... and some of the best ones are such low drop rates, that you still may not get them.
Replaying missions doesn't give you any cards.
You get a maximum of 3 for each of the "bonus" missions. I also said no to picking up card packs on the floor to fight that very strategy
So .... you can crawl in this game 🤔
Great video btw
👀 you can indeed!
I like Metal Gear Ac!d 1, never played the second one
I highly reccommend it, it sped up a lot of the gameplay and polished a bunch of rough edges, well worth a look
Can't believe TH-cam didn't tell me this was already here.
good to see you back! you have timed it well, the next video is out later on today aswell!
@@sirrando that's why I checked! TH-cam deigned to notify me about the premier tonight :)
You have to do the hardest difficulty! Voided when you did arena mode on easy and medium.
Ehhhh, maybe? It isnt really anything harder, you just get a different completion card, you still get the packs. I would have got a G36C which lets you destroy equipment and would have also made the Vince fight easier.
This game needs a modern remake. One of the best games on the PSP.
It really does.
But the cynical part of me assumes kinami would make the card packs paid for with real money.
It would be nice of it was ported on the next master collection though
Now the real question... Did you play with the cardboard SOL!D VISION?
I love this game so much, it was such a strange and wild ride.
As a kid I did playbthrough some of the game with it, but it gave me a headache lol
I really wish Acid 1 and 2 would get a re-release on modern systems.
Hopefully on a master collection 2.
This is basically just you going full FOXHOUND XD All weapons OSP
The only way to play (nah, don't do it. Use the card shop, it's a fun game)
It feels really strange that this game looks more like metal gear than MGS4 or MGS5
The snake in this run, if you were wondering, is Solid Snake of MG 1, MGS 1 2 and 4, but not 3 and 5.
The others arw is Big Boss [from MG 2, and MGS 3 and the PSP one] And Naked Snake [who is actually a anon rando soldier] from MGS5
Big Boss IS naked snake MGS5 is venomous snake
The Snake in MGA2 is a clone of the Snake in MGA, who is not the same as the 'mainline' Solid Snake.
@@enoyna1001 XD fahk!
Should've known I'd fuck this up somewhere.
Correct, MGA snake is a non canon clone of Solid snake, That lineup had Liquid snake, Venom snake, and Big Boss/Naked snake aswell
Nice editing, i thought it was in game 😭
Most of it is, but any of the stuff with fancy lighting is a mixture of ripping bits of the game and blender
I meant official, it looks so professional
@@Kimarnic thanks! I will take that
You should try Peace Walker with 1 star equipment, and a D-Rank Soldier.
I call this.
The Virtuous Miss-er.
That... is a great name. I may look into some of the other MG games in the future, it's a case of finding the appropriate challenge to do so
I'm sorry, there's a goddamn metal gear card video game?
Oh yes. And it's glorious
i hope you're not dead!
I am very much alive
:)@@sirrando
Mg acid games were the best try portable ops
Portable ops was a fun game. I might investigate it in the future
fuck this video might've just sold me on playing AC!D
My job here is done
thank you for sentence mixing and not using A.I. being a metal gear fan and using AI would be so cursed
You know. I almost did. My head thought to how the colonel in MGS2 and how cursed it was.
But, after 4 minutes of thought and of David Hayter + Cam Clarkes thoughts on it. It felt distasteful to do so.
@@sirrando i think it lead to this video feeling a lot higher quality honestly. you can really tell how much effort you put into making this video the best it could be, taking no shortcuts.
genuinely one of the best vids I've seen on here in a long time.
@ReffyReflet thanks! That really means a lot. The whole video was a huge task and I learned a lot of new things doing it. Overall I think it took about 300 hours to make it. And I am very happy with the final result
@@sirrando 300 hours?! holy hell man, that is some dedication and it really shows in the quality of the final product
super excited to see what else you cook up man.
I think your Yell " Dead Cell " Song might actually be the LittleBigPlanet version.
It might be the same one thats used there, I am not sure, as I never played the game, But that version was also on the official OST, specifically as a remix, so I am assuming that it also got used in Little Big Planet
@@sirrando ahhh. My apologies. It might've been the vr remix.
@@littlebadassgaming no need to apologise at all. We were both correct in this instance it appears!
Good ass run + guidelines; where and how did you rip the models for those renders btw?
Thanks, glad you liked it.
The models ans environments were ripped using an application called ninja ripper and then imported into blender
@@sirrando I had a feeling NinjaRipper was involved somehow, cheers man ^ ^✌️
If you are struggling g with this game specifically, let me know, there were some issues I ran into.
For a start all the colours were inverted (rgb to bgr) and some other bits and pieces. But it's doable
@@sirrando I'll let you know what snags I run into, thanks a ton man! ^ ^
I'm very confused. Did you leave out the rest of your Normal playthrough at around 19:00?
Yes
@@sirrando well, that explains it
I tried emulating this the other month, but the card videos keep crashing the emulator 😢
Yes. But you can turn those off I the options menu (in game)
@@sirrando That's actually amazing!
Thanks for much, been wanting to play for ages, I was holding out for a remaster or HD collection.
[It a crime this isn't already ported to PC or switch]
It is. I would love to play both 9f them on switch.
Master collection volume 2, let's hope 🤞
please do more
That's my plan. About to start on my next video!
@@sirrando woooo hell yeah man your contents great i love challenge runs and the games you have chosen hit a good spot keep up the good work chief
You sounded less enthusiastic this video. Looks like it took a real toll on you!
It was a lot of work! But, I was still pretty jazzed throughout, I'm still trying to figure out how to present my voice overs. It was a conscious choice to try to be a little more naturalistic
Time to say a cursed comment, if Konami was smart they'd make a new MGAc!d but with gacha in it.
Incredibly cursed. and unfortunately incredibly true, I am glad AC!D was made at a time when in game advertisements seems hilarious and out of pocket
It has great gameplay but the collection mechanics suck so bad. I still play. Im still missing cards… and I’ve been using cheats for infinite credits for years. If your goal is collecting, don’t waste your time. Story is ok, gameplay is fun. Would love to have on Nintendo Switch
The singles shop is your friend, some of the extra cards from the arena also help, also, make sure you play on a NG+ save that actually has access to the extra cards after unlocking all the upgraded shops.
and... check a list, make sure your not just missing the upgraded versions of cards you already have. There is a 100% save on speedrun.com aswell if you want to have a look. and there is a card upgrade guide on gamefaqs.com
Wait, did something happen to the vods or am I just blind?
I unlisted them, But they are still in the "Challenge run Streams" Playlist which is public. I didnt like that they would notify people when the vods were made public public after I streamed
Here is a link
th-cam.com/play/PLUN4CnyqO9IxnrlB4wYyLPs9qCkHsbNw4.html
@@sirrando Oh, whew, was worried you decided to get rid off them for whatever reason.
@@Kaedevirus I like to leave them up, it's kinda proof I did what I said I did. But I did feel they were clogging up stuff. So this is a fair way to do it imo
@@sirrando I mean, yeah, makes sense, I was simply worried I didn't get to watch all of them after getting invested.
kinda funny that normal is the *highest* difficulty possible
👀
Did... did you call it a "m 911 pistol"?
It's a gun, not a model of Porche.
Whoops. That was a silly goof,
Wasn't Ac!d on PSP? I played Portable Ops and Peace Walker to varying success, but never ac!d
Correct, it was exclusive to the psp
Thought so. The only ones I haven't played. But then I've never been very good at them so probably why.
Wtf I never heard of this game
It is a good video game
This seems like a very limited game. And they wasted storage space on takiyamas boobs jiggling. Goddamnit
Waste?😅
You should see the 3d bonus videos they put in then. Lol
Best mechanic in the game
The 'deep breath' bridge section was really hard to listen to, sorry. Also the creepy sex jokes. No thanks.
Otherwise the editting was nice and basically everything else.
I don't believe I made a single sex joke, you must have a dirty mind
@@sirrando Hmmmmmmmm *eyes suspiciously* Relatedly, I've been watching all your other videos and I enjoy them, so good job.
@@Neremworld glad your enjoying them. But, being honest, I do know what you were referring too. It came about more because I thought it was so funny that a 00s PSP game implemented a jank physics system just for jiggle physics
@@sirrando You made reference to her breasts every time she came up even when it wasn't showing off the ridiculous jiggle physics on her. And you made reference to the other lady's breasts too, who I don't think jiggled at all. The first couple of times it was funny but it became pretty boorish when you never stopped.
Basically you just ran the joke into the ground too hard, and it soured me on it. It wasn't enough to make me stop watching, but I prefer being honest.
@@Neremworld I agree, it was a bit. Is what it is, i suppose. different taste and all that
I too would instantly resume my work routine after being ran over by a speeding locomotive
Truly, a man dedicated to their craft
These challenges are getting more and more hardcore!! Another great one, never played the acid games, looked down on it not being a "real" mgs game, but this makes me want to give it a crack!
That was one of the goals of this video, because its a fun game that people missed out on. Glad you liked it!
I had no cluw what was happening for most the time. But i enjoyed it.
Thanks! That was one of my goals knowing that lots of people haven't played this spin off series
