The symbolism in MGS, is amazing. The Cobras that Big Boss killed, all have meaning. He beat his pain. He beat his fear. He beat his end(death). And he beat his fury. And he killed his joy. So his only trait left was Sorrow. The only one he didn't beat.
Christopher O. I always felt that the cobra unit sorta symbolises the boss her self Her pain her fear her furry her end and her sorrow but the joy does represent Big boss cause when he killed her he killed his joy
We are soldiers without borders, our purpose defined by the era we live in. If the times demand it, we'll be revolutionaries, heroes, terrorists. And yes, we may all be headed straight to hell, but what better place for us than this? This is our home, our heaven and our hell. This is OUTER HEAVEN.
MGS3 showed us the man becoming a Snake. In Portable Ops and Peace Walker this Snake finally accepted to be Big Boss: a leader with strong ideals who wanted to pursue a dream of freedom for soldiers like him. In 22 days we'll see this same leader turning into a demon, feared by the same soldiers on his side, a "monster" as Kaz calls him in Metal Gear 2. #MGSV is coming this 1st September on +PlayStation 3 and 4, #XBOX 360 and One and #PC . There are no excuses not to play it, boys. EDIT POST RELEASE: nope.
+DevilFox Agreed. Gonna be playing MGS5 all day. Most second coolest character in Metal Gear history. Solid Snake is still number one. Gray Fox number three.
Boss.... you were right.... It's not about changing the world. It's about doing our best to leave the world the way it is. It's about respecting the will of others and believing in your own....... Isn't that what you fought for?...
there's no words to describe big boss. normal people only see big boss as a character in a story, but to a real mgs fan he's a hero, symbol and savior.
Here is a really good comment that I found for you people that thing The Phantome Pain had a disappointing/bad ending. SPOILERS BELOW! Ok, so, having played this, i know what this ending means and signifies. It's not simply saying "You play as the medic" because that's a shallow way to look at it. At the beginning, we create our perfect avatar, a representation of ourself, we even put our own name and DOB in it. WE, the players, are the medic - WE are venom snake. Now, what is big boss? It isnt a person - it's a title. A legacy. Ok, so we don't play as Jack, the original big boss - but we DO play as big boss - Jack hands us the PLAYER that title - this is Kojima's final MGS game, and, as a farewell present, he is giving US the title of Big Boss. That's why Jack says thank you. It's subtle, but it's from Kojima. Jack says that the medic was his his most trusted lieutenant - why was he? What's so special about him? It's because we've known Jack since his very first mission. That's why Venom Snake has Jacks memories - it's because we were there WITH Jack. That's also how he has all his same abilities. It's the biggest fourth wall break in gaming history - It's not a fuck you to fans - it's a thank you. It also fits with the canon too - it explains how Big Boss survived MG1s Outer Heaven ending - he didn't. Solid Snake killed Big Bosses phantom - he killed Venom. Don't be shallow. Sadly, this will be lost on most fans.
+playstationsimpa We have a Captain Obvious here :) What Your Highness Kojima tried to do is clear, a good idea if you ask me, but what he achieved, unfortunately, is also very clear: nothing but damage, a useless meta reference for the sake of it, a weakly executed twist like weak are a lot of the aspects of the game.
Are you? No, you're an empty character forced to believe he's BB and if you've seen the trailers like me you had this terrible feeling that you're not BB since the very beginning and that doesn't help at all. Of course you've the same voice as the real bb (funny coincidence!), same look and with few days of training by Ocelot this guy has become as skilled as the real BB, as charismatic as the real BB because only BB could build something like Outer Heaven.. I mean, impressive isn't it? Impressively stupid and forced. Does any of your decisions as a player affect this character, his behaviour, the story? No, not one. He's a good guy who spares even Huey's life and that at the end of everything builds Outer Heaven because reasons and he becomes a demon because reasons and he gets killed and we know it, all off screen. He's totally disconnected from us, we just do missions one after the other because we have to, when this kind of twist definitely requires a stronger bound between player and character, something they didn't achieve also because the pacing of the game is absolutely terrible as terrible is the story and NPC relationships. This is how it plays: "hey buddy, you're big boss, have fun" ... "surprise, you're not big boss! but don't worry you too are bb. By the way, nice place you built but no hard feelings, I just sent Solid snake to kill you, see ya". In other words, the twist happens and there're no consequences in the game, it just ends there. It's there only to look cool and retcon what already happened almost 30 years ago, it adds nothing to the story, it just hurts MGS universe and BB's character. MGS2 did this avatar-thing way better as many other games in the past. "You played as BB for a decade so you're as good as BB by now" is so, so stupid. I don't need BB to tell me we're good friends, that "we" are the legendary BB because I don't want it and I don't feel it, all Kojima had to do is stick with the canon and show how BB built Outer Heaven, how he saved Fox and Sniper and so on. Big Boss was and will always be a single person and that's John, the man who spare Ocelot's life because "he's still young", the man that screams at the sky when a good soldier dies in his arms, the same man that without hesitation jumps out of the helicopter to help the soldiers of the Mother Base, he always put his life at risk, not for him but for soldiers like him. THIS is Big Boss, not the coward that runs from his fate because he's scared of the worst enemy of the saga (Skullface). Everything outisde of gameplay is so bad that I don't even know where to start and how to articulate things well.
+DevilFox Yes I would love to have seen the story we were thinking the game would be so Im not gonna defend my point. But if you have seen chapter 51 you know how much Konami fucked this game up and proboble shorted it alot. I think Kojima was Going to make the game you, me and everyone else wanted but Konami fired him and he had to do this instead. This is just my "theori" of every thing that is going on.
A fitting tribute to the greatest soldier who ever lived, and in my opinion the most interesting character in the series, he wasn't perfect from the start, he went through a lot of trials but the fact that he ended up in the right place at the end tells us that he was never a villain, merely a man who suffered a gradual erosion of his good nature through the constant loss and betrayal of friends, most people who find themselves on the wrong side of what is considered moral never make it back, however Big Boss conquered his own bad decisions in the past and it cements his place as a true legend.
I mean only two people betrayed him, the Boss and Huey. Ocelot and Kaz were his two closest friends and they were loyal to a fault, they got burned by their loyalty to him. He and Zero mutually separated due to a shared disagreement. I think Big Boss is a story of someone virtuous discovering that what they strive to be simply cannot be, hence why his more successful offspring was a pretty roughly edged diamond. Snake did good by doing bad, and he was kind of an asshole to those around him at times.
Demke Pasaa i know your comment is two years old but solid is dead now, if mgs was real life, mgr would be happening rn....RIP Big Boss + Solid Snake may your names live on
Watching this in 2021 after an odd reassembly of the original Metal Gear Solid crew along with Lori Alan who played The Boss (and a promise of information to come)--a random recommendation on youtube. ANd wow. This is amazing. The story of Metal Gear, of Big Boss, Solid Snake, and Ocelot...man. Brings tears to my eyes, fantastic job.
wow the symbolism of "conquering you pain, fear, fury, sorrow, and eventually your joy." I never thought of that before. Naked snakes story is one of becoming something without emotion.
Finally someone who mentions the Portable Ops incident. Well done. Most people including Kojima forget that game. It should have been included in the HD and Legacy collections. I am not buying Kojima's excuse that it is only partially canon since I have found nothing in Peacewalker that contradicts it in any way.
1:56 when EVA asks what snakes relationship with The Boss is and he responds 'She was like a mother to me... And my Master' was said with such fondness it really got across how important the boss was to Naked Snake
The two characters that have made the most impact in the mgs series are Big Boss and Ocelot. Solid Snake is a good character because he was a clone of Big Boss with his good genes but Big Boss was just born normal and naturally an amazing soldier/spy.
He defeated Pain, Fear, End, Fury... but not the Sorrow. I love how video showed the fact those guys symbolized aspects of the battlefield that Big Boss conquered, but in the fell as a victim of Sorrow and got lost. Creating Outer Heaven for all the others haunted by the demons of war.
So, uhm.. MGSV is here. I will not spoil the true ending but I'd like to hear your honest opinions about it., when you're done with the game and if you've 5 minutes to spare of course.
+Aldro you're not alone. I see more and more people pissed off, reason why hopefully they'll understand why I don't think I'll ever update this video. MGSV doesn't exist to me.
+DevilFox It's possible that during the 2-4 years Kojima and his Productions developed this game, the original idea and concept became increasingly and jarringly twisted. You have to admit there was already a hella lot of drama and disagreement between Kojima and Konami ever since the decision was made to make Ground Zero a separate game from Phantom Pain. What we're seeing in Phantom Pain's story is undoubtedly not only the result of this, but also the influence this had on Kojima himself and the company with his name. Plot points left far too open. Characters completely twisted into flat archetype memes. Themes put in yet built upon only sparingly. Ironically enough the mute character whose choice of apparel disturbs those who point and shout "sexist" before thinking, probably is the most likable and human of the entire cast. Yes, the wealth of information in the cassette tapes does build a lot of the story missing from the actual cut-scenes and game itself, but it only fills in gaps among the cracks at best. It does little to change the main problems with the story in both execution and understanding. Of course, there is also the chance that I may be interpreting this wrong. It's possible that there is a deeper mystery and speculation within the game's themes that I may not be seeing properly. td;dr, I speculate that Phantom Pain's.."painful" story is the unfortunate outcome of Kojima unable to bring his original ideas to fruition due to conflicts between him, his company, and Konami. If the game-play was not so addictively good, I would actually regret my purchase from a series I once venerated for its story more than anything else. I almost still do. If nothing else, there is absolutely no closure to this game. It feels incomplete, like the lingering sensation of something essential missing. A true phantom pain.
All I know is it was Kojimas decision to botch the gameplay for me by taking Quiet away. That is a forbidden thing to do in terms of gameplay design in my opinion. I refuse to play the game as a result now. Ontop of that, Kojima also made Peacewalker. A game that I loathe because it sort of made MGS3 lose its ending. The Boss was cleared of her "treason" due to the fucking mammal pod. I do not think Konami is to be blamed here. Kojima just chose to not tell a story about Big Boss. He just doesnt tell stories that truly have character development as of late but rather rely on plot twists and playing with the players expectation. The character this time around was greatly beloved and he gave him Peacewalker, Ground Zeroes and now Phantom Pain to ultimately give us all a middle finger. He simply blew it this time. It was also his decision to make Snake be a "silent" character from day one really. He had no actual moments with Ocelot in the field other than them constantly telling you what to do. I love 1-4 but Peacewalker and GZ/V for me really showed that Kojima is done. Just my opinion.
Just wow. I have played every metal gear solid game and all I can say is just wow this video captures the emotion and ideology behind all of what big boss did. Bravo Devilfox on a video worthy of the title of fox.
Me might be John Doe, somebody who has no identity. Comes with the black ops territory. "Jack" is obviously what The Boss nicknamed him before "Snake". Then he earns the title of "Big Boss". I can see what made him become so twisted, indeed. Solid Snake may be a clone and replica, but also Big Boss's doppelganger, in a sense.
The Metal Gear/Metal Gear Solid games arent just simple games that you play year after year. They are masterpieces that let you experience a dimension of awesomeness that you probably remember till you die. Mister Kojima and his Team are really great people. Btw, nice work with the clip.
+Super Super Hero Actually 11 names. John, Jack, Naked Snake, Big Boss, Snake, The Man Who Sold The World, Vic Boss, The Legendary Soldier, The Legendary Mercenary, The One-Eyed Man, Saladin.
Hunter2011Killr He tells Ocelot his name is John. If you look up John in wikipedia, Jack can be used as a nickname. Zero and The Boss call him Jack because it illustrates how close the three characters are.
you have my blessing, enjoy your playthrough! \^O^/ About once a year I do the same, I play again every MGS (in order of release, I still think it's the best way to enjoy the saga). This saga has the gift of immortality.
+Sergesh Dimitri America didn't lose the Vietnam War, stop propagating that meme. We won, forced North Korea to sign a treaty, and then had an election; the new administration refused to uphold our side of the treaty allowing North Korea to attack a SECOND time, and win.
+Vidya “The Weeaboologist” Games no, the USA definitely lost. They even evacuated as many people as possible out of Saigon before the supporters of Ho Chi Minh (North Vietnamese/ Viet Cong) took over.
It depends on what your standards of a movie are. There was a very cinematic compilation of all the cutscenes to resemble a movie. If that's not "movie" enough for you, then I guess there is none. If you want to see it, just TH-cam search it :P
I meant like a classic go to the cinema style one. Not dissing the ones like you describe, but personally I can never think of them as films so much as expositional lets-plays.
i watch this every day every night non stop i dont know how to stop watching and listening to this , u r great man , done a great job this is just very similar to my life i put it on repeat forever , i dont know when i will pause it
One of the best (if not the best ) tribute to Big boss that i have ever watched, Big boss, is without any doubt, my favorite video game character . Long live Kojima and Konami. You did a great job . G Greatings from Portugal
Thanks for the response I can't wait to see more of your work . I only just discovered your channel and spent countless hours watchin your videos. You are very gifted and I can not thank you enough for what you do ...what's your fav metal gear game ? Mine is mgs3 with mgs1 been a close second
Simon Baumann CORRECT^^^ As much as I'd love to see it, I DON'T! Name one video game-based movie in over 20 years that didn't SUCK!!! They can't capture the majesty of the story in 90 minutes to 2 hours. It'd be so condensed, probably PG13, and it would be awful. I hope nobody attempts to buy the rights, like they did Silent Hill. Leave it alone, Hollywood! It's KOJIMA'S!
Quick Feet Assassin THAT, is a different package all together. I'd be nervous, due to the fact that 90% of all video game based-films are usually garbage, and my suspicions would make me lower my expectations, BUT, Hideo as director, would make me pretty damn excited too, honestly. His method of storytelling is mostly appreciated by fans of the games. But I admit, some things in the games would be pretty damn silly on film. It's very much full of Japanese expressionism, and a good majority of people wouldn't understand nor like it. Typical moviegoers that is. My friends and I would probably love it IF it's done right.
SunBunz True also my expectations of the film would also be dependent on the cast. For example I could understand if we didn't have hayter playing Snake but it would still have to be someone who could pull off the role well enough for a similar sort of feel while maybe still adding there own unique flare to the role.
Personally I like the ending of MGS V. Big Boss was an hypocrite who became the kind of person he hated. A man who built a nuclear weapon and a Metal Gear, a person who betrayed his almost best friend Miller. Venom Snake fought for The Joy´s will, that why he has a ponytail like her, or a white horse. He was a man who saved child sodiers, a person who felt like a demon if he killed a lot of people or created a nuclear weapon. A man who forgave Huey´s life. A real hero who died for a real monster and never be remembered or will be remember as a terrorist. Do not you remeber someone? Venom and Solid are the heroes of the MGS, two soldiers who fight for the right things. PS: Sorry for my English i need more practice xD
+Daniel Danonek Big Boss - See what my medic has become Big Boss - See what I was supposed to become Big Boss - See what Kojima didn't have the courage to make me become Poll incoming for title change.
This video was extremely well done, every little detail... it easily shows how you're a huge fan, such as me and many others. There's a lot of MGS videos, but it's hard to find one that's had so much emotion -from a real fan- put into it. I don't like classifying people like that, but you're a true fan. A true Patriot. I salute you, sir.
+SilverFox Did you get all the way to the actual ending? Truth? If you did I can't entirely say I agree with you. It's really hard to talk about this without spoiling it, and I really don't wanna be that guy, so I'll just say I think Big Boss did what he had to do to continue building towards his utopia and realizing his beliefs while facing the incredible adversity that Cipher/XOF posed.
AceDrgn Yes, I did. Kojima -----SPOILER----- made the Raiden trick again, looking the easy surprise, and just made the whole game a fake.----- But its just my opinion. Greetings :)
+SilverFox I think it worked out pretty well, imo. i do think if the game had retained a lot of its cut content itd feel like much less of a baseless twist. oh well.
Seriously... This is amazing... The effects, voice overs, songs and everything... Even though I don't think I saw Portable Ops included, it doesn't matter, this is a total win. I wish it never stopped. I GIVE YOU ONE HUGE WELL DONE!!! :DD
...God, I've watched a whole lot of Metal Gear tributes for YEARS even before andeh22 started making these kind of tributes. And this one is by far the best I've seen in the longest time.
I can see that it took a long, long, long time to create this. to ensure that big boss wasnt really evil, but did what he though was right was well portrayed. epic video.
You made my day. Good to know that other people admire Big Boss like me. Honestly, now conquered a life goal and I'm working with the Federal Police and use the image and personality of the revolutionary Big Boss that has served me as an example of life. Thank you.
The symbolism in MGS, is amazing. The Cobras that Big Boss killed, all have meaning. He beat his pain. He beat his fear. He beat his end(death). And he beat his fury. And he killed his joy. So his only trait left was Sorrow. The only one he didn't beat.
omfg.....as a biggest mgs fan i never got to that conclusion! I feel embarassed now....
WOW MINDBLOWN BY THE COMMENT
very nice perspective, you the real MVP
Christopher O. that's deep bro...
Christopher O. I always felt that the cobra unit sorta symbolises the boss her self Her pain her fear her furry her end and her sorrow but the joy does represent Big boss cause when he killed her he killed his joy
He defeated the pain , the fear , the end , and the furry , but he couldnt defeat the sorrow...
the furry
the furry
The Furry? You mean Ocelot?
He also defeated "The Joy"
My favority.philosophy!!!
"Ever since the day I killed The Boss, with my own hands... I... Was already dead."
that line gave me chills..
Same
Big Boss is the greatest gaming character of all time
Can't argue with that he is pretty much my favorite video game character ever.
God < All
But...
Big Boss < God
Big Boss has become a demon (New MGS 5 Trailer)
Maybe he has but at least he is fighting for something he believes in. Soldiers without borders!

We are soldiers without borders, our purpose defined by the era we live in. If the times demand it, we'll be revolutionaries, heroes, terrorists. And yes, we may all be headed straight to hell, but what better place for us than this? This is our home, our heaven and our hell. This is OUTER HEAVEN.

A fitting tribute to the greatest soldier who ever lived, and in my opinion the most interesting character in the series, he wasn't perfect from the start, he went through a lot of trials but the fact that he ended up in the right place at the end tells us that he was never a villain, merely a man who suffered a gradual erosion of his good nature through the constant loss and betrayal of friends, most people who find themselves on the wrong side of what is considered moral never make it back, however Big Boss conquered his own bad decisions in the past and it cements his place as a true legend.
I mean only two people betrayed him, the Boss and Huey. Ocelot and Kaz were his two closest friends and they were loyal to a fault, they got burned by their loyalty to him. He and Zero mutually separated due to a shared disagreement. I think Big Boss is a story of someone virtuous discovering that what they strive to be simply cannot be, hence why his more successful offspring was a pretty roughly edged diamond. Snake did good by doing bad, and he was kind of an asshole to those around him at times.
A masterpiece tribute video to one of
the greatest gaming characters.
My damn heart broke.
Solid broke my heart at the end of MGS4.
Wow. This was incredibly powerful and well done. A perfect execution of the history of Big Boss.
That moment you realize if this was real he died sometime last year. The feels.
and in a few days Old Snake might die too
December 24th. Thats when he fought Snake and thats when he made peace with him shortly before his death.
My birthday :O

Been a while
I've seen many, but this is by far the best MGS tribute on youtube..well done!
Character design is what makes MGS such a great masterpiece ;)
Big Boss you will be ever, in my heart, and in my memories this phrase: From now on call me BIG BOSS
One of the greatest, if not the greatest, character in video games, of all time.
BIG BOSS is the best soldier of all time, he is you, he is me, he is us.
I'm afraid it's been... 9 years.

Thanks for the great montage , the man who made this video is a true patriot !!
1:56 when EVA asks what snakes relationship with The Boss is and he responds 'She was like a mother to me... And my Master' was said with such fondness it really got across how important the boss was to Naked Snake
I almost cried while watching this :'(
Thanks
Soldier!
See what I've become
"CQC huh?" *kickclackboombamugghgah"
"I'm probably a little rusty"
"Die as a hero,or live enough to see yourself become a villian"
Big Boss is the best character in the entire Metal Gear series!
Him and Ocelot, hell yeah.
After Snake, of course
***** He IS Snake, the original.
Chocomunchie So? Solid Snake is still best character in this game series
***** I beg to differ. Solid Snake is oblivious to a variety of things that occur throughout the series.
Best video on youtube.. .isnt it?
The two characters that have made the most impact in the mgs series are Big Boss and Ocelot. Solid Snake is a good character because he was a clone of Big Boss with his good genes but Big Boss was just born normal and naturally an amazing soldier/spy.
Ocelot is the real mvp
He defeated Pain, Fear, End, Fury... but not the Sorrow. I love how video showed the fact those guys symbolized aspects of the battlefield that Big Boss conquered, but in the fell as a victim of Sorrow and got lost. Creating Outer Heaven for all the others haunted by the demons of war.
So, uhm.. MGSV is here. I will not spoil the true ending but I'd like to hear your honest opinions about it., when you're done with the game and if you've 5 minutes to spare of course.
+DevilFox Hated it. What a waste of time.
+Aldro you're not alone. I see more and more people pissed off, reason why hopefully they'll understand why I don't think I'll ever update this video. MGSV doesn't exist to me.
Good, you shouldnt! Screw Venom.
Dont worry though.. Naughty Dog never disappoints :P 6 months to go!
+DevilFox It's possible that during the 2-4 years Kojima and his Productions developed this game, the original idea and concept became increasingly and jarringly twisted. You have to admit there was already a hella lot of drama and disagreement between Kojima and Konami ever since the decision was made to make Ground Zero a separate game from Phantom Pain. What we're seeing in Phantom Pain's story is undoubtedly not only the result of this, but also the influence this had on Kojima himself and the company with his name.
Plot points left far too open. Characters completely twisted into flat archetype memes. Themes put in yet built upon only sparingly. Ironically enough the mute character whose choice of apparel disturbs those who point and shout "sexist" before thinking, probably is the most likable and human of the entire cast.
Yes, the wealth of information in the cassette tapes does build a lot of the story missing from the actual cut-scenes and game itself, but it only fills in gaps among the cracks at best. It does little to change the main problems with the story in both execution and understanding.
Of course, there is also the chance that I may be interpreting this wrong. It's possible that there is a deeper mystery and speculation within the game's themes that I may not be seeing properly.
td;dr, I speculate that Phantom Pain's.."painful" story is the unfortunate outcome of Kojima unable to bring his original ideas to fruition due to conflicts between him, his company, and Konami. If the game-play was not so addictively good, I would actually regret my purchase from a series I once venerated for its story more than anything else. I almost still do.
If nothing else, there is absolutely no closure to this game. It feels incomplete, like the lingering sensation of something essential missing. A true phantom pain.
All I know is it was Kojimas decision to botch the gameplay for me by taking Quiet away. That is a forbidden thing to do in terms of gameplay design in my opinion. I refuse to play the game as a result now. Ontop of that, Kojima also made Peacewalker. A game that I loathe because it sort of made MGS3 lose its ending. The Boss was cleared of her "treason" due to the fucking mammal pod. I do not think Konami is to be blamed here. Kojima just chose to not tell a story about Big Boss. He just doesnt tell stories that truly have character development as of late but rather rely on plot twists and playing with the players expectation. The character this time around was greatly beloved and he gave him Peacewalker, Ground Zeroes and now Phantom Pain to ultimately give us all a middle finger. He simply blew it this time.
It was also his decision to make Snake be a "silent" character from day one really. He had no actual moments with Ocelot in the field other than them constantly telling you what to do.
I love 1-4 but Peacewalker and GZ/V for me really showed that Kojima is done. Just my opinion.
I'm never going to forget David Hayter. His voice will be sorely missed.
This was very well put together and had fantastic editing. If I could say one thing, I wish it was longer.
Thats what she said
freshly1112 wow lol
This editing is really snappy.
Most good editing is.
I aspire to be this good some day.
Just wow. I have played every metal gear solid game and all I can say is just wow this video captures the emotion and ideology behind all of what big boss did. Bravo Devilfox on a video worthy of the title of fox.
"I killed her...my beloved...WITH MY OWN HANDS!!!"
David Hayter's deliverance throughout his career with Snake was truly one of a kind.
I think.... I've just seen the best MGS video of all time. Sir, I salute you! Showing this to all my MGS buddies!!!
Me might be John Doe, somebody who has no identity. Comes with the black ops territory. "Jack" is obviously what The Boss nicknamed him before "Snake". Then he earns the title of "Big Boss". I can see what made him become so twisted, indeed. Solid Snake may be a clone and replica, but also Big Boss's doppelganger, in a sense.
well I think his real name is John
Yelena Fedorova It's Jack
Hunter2011Killr I believe his name is John but Jack for short, or the other way around could be
The Metal Gear/Metal Gear Solid games arent just simple games that you play year after year.
They are masterpieces that let you experience a dimension of awesomeness that you probably remember till you die.
Mister Kojima and his Team are really great people.
Btw, nice work with the clip.
That's a very nice homage...
BE-A-U-TI-FULL. This make any TRUE MGS fan cry..... Yes, AM crying. I salute you my friend.
when I beat mgs3 I only cried for...oh wait I'm not done yet.
Still not done?
@@Lichkillerlime nope
Now?
NO you not its not over soldier
Not yet...It's not over yet!!
I'm getting old but keep playing this clip again and again it's been years now, thanks editor ❤
I don't have a PC or PlayStation... but I have played MGS3, MGS1, MGS PORTABLE OPS, and MGS PEACE WALKER in my phone using respective Emulator 💓🥰.
I'm glad you feel an emotion, that's an important goal to me.
Thanks!
3 heavens...Diamond Dogs, Zanzibarland, Shadow Moses
3 Sons....Solid, Liquid, Solidus
3 Names....Naked Snake, Big Boss, The Man Who Sold the World
Half Life 3 confirmed.
+Super Super Hero Actually 11 names. John, Jack, Naked Snake, Big Boss, Snake, The Man Who Sold The World, Vic Boss, The Legendary Soldier, The Legendary Mercenary, The One-Eyed Man, Saladin.
+Abuyin ibn Djadir Well.....shit
Super Super Hero yyyyyep
+Abuyin ibn Djadir Huh....well....this is embarrassing...um....yeah...
Wow. That was beautiful.
BigBoss's real name is john but call him jack. Solid snake is named David duh
his real name is Jack, John is a code mame like Naked Snake
Hunter2011Killr No. BB real name is John. Jack is a nickname.
Evidence ?
Hunter2011Killr He tells Ocelot his name is John. If you look up John in wikipedia, Jack can be used as a nickname. Zero and The Boss call him Jack because it illustrates how close the three characters are.
Lol he got u there
you have my blessing, enjoy your playthrough! \^O^/
About once a year I do the same, I play again every MGS (in order of release, I still think it's the best way to enjoy the saga).
This saga has the gift of immortality.
one thing I still don't get
If Big Boss fought during the Vietnam War
WHY THE FUCK DO YOU AMERICANS STILL LOSE?
Sergesh Dimitri she didnt ....
Fernando Bonfiglioli He did man, it was told given to us In portable ops, he also met eva there in Hanoi, read up your fiction man !
Andreas M.Scholl he also met Python during the Vietnam War
+Sergesh Dimitri America didn't lose the Vietnam War, stop propagating that meme. We won, forced North Korea to sign a treaty, and then had an election; the new administration refused to uphold our side of the treaty allowing North Korea to attack a SECOND time, and win.
+Vidya “The Weeaboologist” Games no, the USA definitely lost. They even evacuated as many people as possible out of Saigon before the supporters of Ho Chi Minh (North Vietnamese/ Viet Cong) took over.
I feel as if iv lost a family member after waychong this video . Truly well edited hats of to you R.i.p big boss you were a true bro . inspiration !
“I wont make the same choices as her”
So he sends an impostor to do so
That's the most beautiful thing I will ever see on TH-cam! Thank you
Someone please turn MGS3 into a film. A good one mind you. One that follows the plot.
It's been done. It's rather long though.
Where and by whom?
Or am I being trolled?
It depends on what your standards of a movie are. There was a very cinematic compilation of all the cutscenes to resemble a movie. If that's not "movie" enough for you, then I guess there is none. If you want to see it, just TH-cam search it :P
I meant like a classic go to the cinema style one. Not dissing the ones like you describe, but personally I can never think of them as films so much as expositional lets-plays.
i watch this every day every night non stop i dont know how to stop watching and listening to this , u r great man , done a great job
this is just very similar to my life
i put it on repeat forever , i dont know when i will pause it
mgs is the best franchise ever !!!!!!!
This is brilliant! I can not believe how awesome it is! You put this story in fantastic and really beautiful way! :)
3:25 Queue up the goose bumps...
I really love this video, you made mgs looks more epic than it is! Thanks bro
there gonna get somebody to kill the big boss and they will be called......... bigger boss
There is already a man who defeated Big Boss.He is called Solid Snake.
Onat Alıcı incorrect he defeated big boss when he was like 80 thats unfair lol big boss would own solid snake
Onat Alıcı learn metal gear solid before you speak :D
Onat Alıcı
That's right! And as I recall, even in his 60th, Big Boss was pretty agressive, agile and a good fighter too. :D
Aomine Daiki if they were both the same age we all know big boss would hand it to solid snake.
Thank You so much for this upload. This is exactly what I was looking for regarding Big Boss and his character. A job well done, thanks again pal.
The song made for me.
Nanomachines son!
One of the best (if not the best ) tribute to Big boss that i have ever watched, Big boss, is without any doubt, my favorite video game character . Long live Kojima and Konami. You did a great job . G
Greatings from Portugal
QUESTION TO DEVILFOX will this video be EDITED after phantom pain comes out ??????
Nope. If it happens, it's easier that I'll do something else from scratch.
Thanks for the response I can't wait to see more of your work . I only just discovered your channel and spent countless hours watchin your videos. You are very gifted and I can not thank you enough for what you do ...what's your fav metal gear game ? Mine is mgs3 with mgs1 been a close second
ROSSONERI 108 MGS3 > MGS1 > MGS2 >> MGS4 > MGS PW >>>>>>>>>>>>> MGS PO
same order as me mate ...cant wait to see more from you
Exactly the same.
Anyone here know how not to love this video? This is so well done. Man DevilFox is good.
who thinks we need a MGS movie???
ME
B.U.C. I think the story of MGS is to complicated for a movie, it would destroy the whole story.. :/
Simon Baumann CORRECT^^^ As much as I'd love to see it, I DON'T! Name one video game-based movie in over 20 years that didn't SUCK!!! They can't capture the majesty of the story in 90 minutes to 2 hours. It'd be so condensed, probably PG13, and it would be awful. I hope nobody attempts to buy the rights, like they did Silent Hill. Leave it alone, Hollywood! It's KOJIMA'S!
SunBunz What if some how through some unlikely chance and coincidences Kojima was in charge of directing a Metal Gear movie?
Quick Feet Assassin
THAT, is a different package all together. I'd be nervous, due to the fact that 90% of all video game based-films are usually garbage, and my suspicions would make me lower my expectations, BUT, Hideo as director, would make me pretty damn excited too, honestly. His method of storytelling is mostly appreciated by fans of the games. But I admit, some things in the games would be pretty damn silly on film. It's very much full of Japanese expressionism, and a good majority of people wouldn't understand nor like it. Typical moviegoers that is. My friends and I would probably love it IF it's done right.
SunBunz True also my expectations of the film would also be dependent on the cast. For example I could understand if we didn't have hayter playing Snake but it would still have to be someone who could pull off the role well enough for a similar sort of feel while maybe still adding there own unique flare to the role.
This is one of the best tribute videos I've ever seen. Truly worthy of Big Boss himself.
Personally I like the ending of MGS V. Big Boss was an hypocrite who became the kind of person he hated. A man who built a nuclear weapon and a Metal Gear, a person who betrayed his almost best friend Miller.
Venom Snake fought for The Joy´s will, that why he has a ponytail like her, or a white horse. He was a man who saved child sodiers, a person who felt like a demon if he killed a lot of people or created a nuclear weapon. A man who forgave Huey´s life. A real hero who died for a real monster and never be remembered or will be remember as a terrorist. Do not you remeber someone?
Venom and Solid are the heroes of the MGS, two soldiers who fight for the right things.
PS: Sorry for my English i need more practice xD
Well, said... Venom was a true patriot
that was..no is the best big boss tribute I have ever seen EVER! best job very well timed I love it
HE BECAME A FUCKIN MEDIC LOL
+Daniel Danonek
Big Boss - See what my medic has become
Big Boss - See what I was supposed to become
Big Boss - See what Kojima didn't have the courage to make me become
Poll incoming for title change.
+DevilFox Big Boss- See what Konami has made me become
+Johnny Zhang Noooo!!! KONAMI You Sons Of ***** You Killed The Boss!
Daniel Danonek no, he became you, or should I say, we became him
I must say you did an extremely good job telling Big Boss' story.
Medic Sans Frontière lol
This video was extremely well done, every little detail... it easily shows how you're a huge fan, such as me and many others. There's a lot of MGS videos, but it's hard to find one that's had so much emotion -from a real fan- put into it. I don't like classifying people like that, but you're a true fan. A true Patriot.
I salute you, sir.
Im so fucked up right now seeing this video after finish MGS5... In my opinion Kojima destroy the saga.
I wish I could disagree.
The best playable metal gear ever , but the worst history (and above all, the worst ending).
I'll stick with the big boss of your video. Thanks
+SilverFox Did you get all the way to the actual ending? Truth? If you did I can't entirely say I agree with you. It's really hard to talk about this without spoiling it, and I really don't wanna be that guy, so I'll just say I think Big Boss did what he had to do to continue building towards his utopia and realizing his beliefs while facing the incredible adversity that Cipher/XOF posed.
AceDrgn Yes, I did. Kojima -----SPOILER----- made the Raiden trick again, looking the easy surprise, and just made the whole game a fake.-----
But its just my opinion. Greetings :)
+SilverFox I think it worked out pretty well, imo. i do think if the game had retained a lot of its cut content itd feel like much less of a baseless twist. oh well.
Seriously... This is amazing... The effects, voice overs, songs and everything... Even though I don't think I saw Portable Ops included, it doesn't matter, this is a total win. I wish it never stopped. I GIVE YOU ONE HUGE WELL DONE!!! :DD
tpp was garbage has to be sead
...God, I've watched a whole lot of Metal Gear tributes for YEARS even before andeh22 started making these kind of tributes. And this one is by far the best I've seen in the longest time.
I can see that it took a long, long, long time to create this. to ensure that big boss wasnt really evil, but did what he though was right was well portrayed. epic video.
The BEST mgs video I have ever seen!!THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
OMG this is the best tribute ever thank you so much cant wait for the lost chapter for big boss mgs V the phantom pain
This is my fave mgs video ever made so well don congrats
Your work is incredible devilFox, congratulations.
every time I am at the computer and I have to open youtube I open it via this video because I put it in my browser's favorites :D
I can't wait for part two of this video highlighting the events of MGSV and his fall from hero to demon
I watch this daily past 3 months
tonarilla then you've a lot of free time on your hands, soldier.
+tonarilla your not the only one ;)
You made my day. Good to know that other people admire Big Boss like me. Honestly, now conquered a life goal and I'm working with the Federal Police and use the image and personality of the revolutionary Big Boss that has served me as an example of life. Thank you.
Wow this is the most amazing metal gear tribute I have ever seen. I hope you remake this video after MGSV. Truly a piece of artwork
Omg this is amazing !! your work are great and flawless I love it it has too much passion in it ! Loved it ! and The Boss is the best
