Lol. It's so hard to guess the plots. They are amazing games but very convoluted. Half are prequels to MGS1 like 40 years before or so, a long while (MGS3, MGS Peace Walker and MGSV are all before MGS1. In fact they take place during the cold war and like late 70s, right after the cold war. The original MGS1 takes place in like 2005) and if you don't know that it adds to the confusion. And oh!! That young, blonde hair woman in the bikini.. She does sire the children of Big Boss (these children would be the main characters of MGS1 and up. Solid Snake, Liquid Snake the antagonist of most games, and more)
@@CrazeeAdam you forgot about MG1 and MG2 - both also before MGS1. But yes they were obviously not a part here since they could not have "cinematic trailers"
😂 oh god i should have known!!! Hideo!!! But it looked like his arm was intact afterwards. Unless my old eyes deceived me. Thanks for watching and feel free to share some lore
@@babyoli what if I told you that Ocelot attached a new arm from Liquid snake; and Liquid Snake Was able to control ocelot from the grave through that arm!?
@@marcatalyst what if i told you that liquid actually didnt control ocelot through the arm, but that ocelot had in fact hypnotized himself to believe that was the case?
@@Snake420 what if i told you liquid snake and ocelot were in fact lovers sharing the same body, but Solid Snake's jealously compromised everything which lead to their demise? Also metal gear or whatever
@@babyoli LOL I mean they are hard to unpack. :) The first Metal Gear Solid is the most straightforward, until liquid goes on about ‘Les Enfants Terrible’ and yammers on for half an hour. 😂 And The Twin Snakes is essentially a more goofy remake of it.
@@Jbluez1 "The first Metal Gear Solid is the most straightforward" aka endless gunfire, stealth mode, bad peripherals by the guards, and 0 dialogue hahah yes... very straightforward 👀I'll probably have to pick your brain on this one
basically, there are 5 snakes and 3 bosses. 2 of the snakes are big bosses, 3 of the snakes are clones, one is a body double who is not a clone, and one is the original snake and ocelot becomes snake, and also raiden is thrown in there somewhere. also the chronology of the games goes mgs3, peace walker, ground zeroes, phantom pain (V), mg1, mg2, mgs, mgs2, mgs4, metal gear rising any questions?
@@babyoli and 100% you should play them and see for yourself... even if trailers showed a whole lot (especially the ones for the expansions obviously) it's still nothing. Story is that crazy even if you got spoilered there is a 50% chance they just got it wrong, lmao
I've been a gamer for nearly 40 years, and was a game reviewer for over a decade of that. I was fortunate enough to play, write about, and analyze all of the Metal Gear Solid games when they originally came out. It's so interesting to see a newcomer try to piece together what this series is about just by the trailers, which is an impossible task. They're done specifically to show just a fraction of what's actually happening; there are so many more twists and layers to each of these games, and even the ones you figured out were the minor ones. What appears (at least in the beginning) as a simple stealth action game series explores themes of anti-war, criticism of the military industrial complex, government and corporate corruption, geopolitics, moral relativism, the impact of modern technological developments, the role of mass media, sacrifice, bioethics, genetics, destiny, generational trauma, terrorism vs freedom, duty vs desire, loyalty vs betrayal, ideals vs disillusionment, truth vs propaganda, naivety vs responsibility, the self-destructive nature of revenge, the dangers of ambition, the deliberately surreal nature of video games, the all-too meta nature of sequels as a concept... All wrapped up with some of the most polished gameplay and bizarre/entertaining/memorable characters you'll ever see. I _wish_ I could get into this (especially MGS2 and 3) without spoiling the plots, but I don't want to spoil anything for you. The less you know going in, the better. If you don't want to play the games, you can find all of the games' cutscenes (and even non-commentary playhroughs) on TH-cam. The Metal Gear Solid series is one of the most cinematic in all of gaming, so you can actually watch them as if they were long movies.
So you're an OG gamer Poly (like me)!! I feel like we can nerdgasm on a few things lol. I can appreciate that, and thanks for your "high level" breakdown haha. I would love to read your review but AFTER i watch some of the cinematics. Definitely going to give another guess of the games from watching the cinematics and I think I'll get a better sense of what's going on. I think one of the comments talked about the truth vs. propaganda and I was thinking in today's age, that resonates a lot with me lol (I think our world today is super corrupt). But paste it! I'll check it out! Thanks for watching and sharing your story 🤗
@@babyoli Oh, if I cut and paste any of my reviews here directly, the character limit would be reached instantly. I wrote in long-form essay format, none of that clickbait stuff you see today. I won lots of writing contests, and had a huge readership that got me over 2 million views just by word of mouth. Those pre-social media years were great, when people still had attention spans... Anyway, I tried linking to an old archive of a couple of reviews here and posting. However, this caused TH-cam's autocensor to shadowban me, so I'll have to figure out a way around it. The archive is on Game Frequently Asked Questions; I can't type out how the site is _actually_ spelled, because the abbreviated form of "Frequently Asked Questions" _also_ gets hit with TH-cam's autocensor. Unbelievable... Anyway, just search for the site and my handle, "Polymathic"; my works are easy to find. I've also spent lots of time methodically going through each game in the series (as well as many others!) and posting all the secrets and tricks I could find. I also recently posted tons of info on the site for RE4 Remake, so finding my profile should be pretty easy. I'll hold off writing anything else until you see some more of the series. And yeah, there are certain aspects of Metal Gear Solid that resonate much stronger today than they did 20 years ago. I can't explain which ones without spoiling it, but let's just say that the story was _incredibly_ prescient.
@@Polymathically Whoo found it! Favourited for later www.gamespot.com/metal-gear-solid-3-subsistence/user-reviews/2200-49369/ Thanks for sharing Poly! xo
@@babyoli Huh, that's odd. That profile came about when GameFAQs and GameSpot merged year ago, but it doesn't show my archive. Try looking up "GameFAQS" and "Polymathic" and it should show up. I've been posting a bunch of Metal Gear cheats and secrets on there over the last few days.
You did an incredible job pulling every detail out of these trailers! There's a lot you didn't get, but only because not everything was shown in the trailers. These games have tons of plot twists, so you can't really have those in the trailers, you know? Great job!
Chronological order of Metal Gear games: -Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Subsistence is an enhanced version with some extra content) -Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops -Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker -Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain (Ground Zeroes is a separate prolog to Phantom Pain, which starts right from where Ground Zeroes ends) -Metal Gear -Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake -Metal Gear Solid (and The Twin Snakes remake) -Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (Substance is an enhanced version with some extra content) -Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots -Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance MGS3 to MGSV chronicles the tale of Big Boss from 1964 to 1984. MG to MGS4 is the tale of Solid Snake from 2005 to 2014. MGS2 to MGR is the tale of Raiden from 2009 to 2018.
15:40 "That man is getting attacked by a bird!" Is such a hilarious thing to say about that scene. If only you knew what's actually going on in that moment! 😂
You definitely should have chosen Metal Gear Solid 5 Redband Trailer. It's one of the best choreographed/composed, most well put together trailers ever made. T_T
@@babyoli No problem! Also the Tokyo Game Show trailer for Metal Gear Rising is another phenomenal one. The music really makes or breaks the delivery and both the MGS5 Redband trailer, and the MGR TGS trailer are phenomenal. th-cam.com/video/YeK9ZG7mc1w/w-d-xo.html
As a big MGS fan, I enjoyed your reaction! I think the part that confused you the most is that there are multiple Snakes (hard to tell from the trailers for sure lol). MGS 3 and 5 are period pieces as well, which is why there were cassette tapes used. Rather than being genetically modified, Solid Snake (the main character of the series) is the clone of the Snake from MGS 3, which is set in 1964.
Whoo thanks KG!!! I'm glad I was able to satisfy your expectations. TBH I thought the difference in age was due to the time elapsing between games but I learned from the comments that there were a few snakes. Liquid snake and Solid snake 😉 i'm almost a pro now right?? Genetically modified = clones? hahaha probably not but I can try to squeeze in that win 😂 Thanks for watching KG! 🤗
Metal Gear has one of the most lore dense stories in all of media. It's almost impossible to explain without watching a lore video or playing the games in chronological order. MGs spands from 1960s to not so distant future and merges real world events with fiction. If you like conspiracy theories, you'll really love this series lol
I love how close but far away you are, but that's to be expected with something as convoluted as the Metal Gear franchise. I've played almost all of the games, am still confused and have enjoyed every moment. Thanks to you for being so fun and charming on this little adventure.
LOL! phew you made me feel so much better since you're a player and still confused. I'll wipe the sweat off my forehead now. Thanks for watching Berg!! xo
Whoo hoo! I'm so glad (I read this comment when i woke up this morning and celebrated with a coffee lol)! And thanks for watching the whole thing, I know it's a commitment. Was there something i was totally off on? Probably MGS 5 right? It was overly cryptic.
MGS-1- All the protagonists are part of the US military, specifically a unit called FOX-hound, a specialised unit full of the best of the best. The girl who helps you is Meryl, who was there undercover. And the genome soldiers are failed attempts at cloning Big Boss, which is why they suck. Solid and Liquid are perfected clones and direct children. The terrorists are threatening everyone with nukes that can be fired from Metal Gear Rex, a giant robot with a nuke-railcannon. The guy with no name is Gray Fox, a good friend of Solid that Solid believed he killed during a big battle in Metal Gear, one of the NES/SNES games, that take place before MGS. MGS-2- The Tech guy with the parrot is Hal Emmerich also known as Otacon, he was forced into building Rex and now works with Snake to destroy all Metal Gears. The big base is called Big Shell, officially it's a facility that cleans the water, but actually it's Metal Gear Arsenal, a massive storage facility for dozens of Metal Gear Rays that Raiden, the white-haired guy fights alone. Also the mission Raiden is on was supposed to mimic MGS 1 so that the Patriots could train Raiden into being just as capable as Solid Snake. There's a huge mindfuck section near the end of the game that has Raiden questioning reality. It doesn't help when Snake points at his bandanna and says "Infinite ammo." In response to Raidens question about if he's ready for the final section. Snake is a major troll. It runs in the family. MGS-3- This is a prequel about Big Boss set during the cold war. The major thing here is that The Boss is actually fully dead, she's the final boss. And Eva, the bikini girl, uses Boss to steal the Philosophers legacy, which is basically just a tiny data chip that leads to a gazillion dollars. All Metal Gears fire nukes, that's their Raison D'etre. This game explains why Big Boss becomes a villain, his plan is just to give purpose to soldiers who have nothing left because the government is run by asshats who will send thousands to their death to line their pockets. MGS4- The Cyborg is Raiden, he gets messed up by The Patriots, the secret background Antagonists. Now he's about 90% Cybernetic. You state that Liquid might be behind everything... No-one actually knows it that's true. Ocelot, one of the recurring antagonists from the first and third game, claims to be possessed by his arm, which was transplanted to him from Liquid Snakes corpse. Everybody has Nanomachines and if you don't have permission to fire a weapon you can't so fighting is much harder. This game actually only takes place a few years after two, it's just that Nanomachines and Clones don't mix well so Snake rapidly ages before dying at the end of the game. MGR:R- Raiden is the protagonist and it's set a little while after MGS4. He's a member of Maverick, a Private Military Company. That black dude is the politician Raiden is supposed to protect and the same one who starts calling him Mr.Lightning Bolt as a joke. Cyborgs are becoming much more prevalent, but they're separate from Nanomachines. Raidens actual objective is saving children from a horrific experiment to create more copies of Raiden, who was a child soldier with a higher body count than god. They rip the kids brains out of their head, put them in jars and subject them to constant VR missions, zapping their pleasure centre when they kill someone to brainwash them into enjoying killing. Just like Raiden. MGS5- Another prequel about Big Boss. Ground Zeroes is a fully paid demo, you actually save Kojima In-game, "What took you so long." Phantom Pain is the actual game. The man on fire is just a weird mutant. I kinda forgot who that is. And the absolute greatest bit of genius on your part. In this game you do actually play as a body double of BB. Not the real BB. Your expert opinion is expert level.
Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes was a remake of the first game. Metal Gear Solid 3 was the prequel of the 80's games with them centering around Snake's dad. Metal Gear Solid 4, Gekkos go Moo. Metal Gear Solid 5 Ground Zeros "Snake what took you so long?" Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phantom Pain they played us like a Fiddle! V has come to.
Yeah I think some of the other comments articulated what I couldn't hear for the life of me haha. Okay i wish I knew that solid snakes was a remake! Gah, that would've made things so much better. I think i gotta do better research into the timelines vs. relying on game launch dates 😅 Thanks for watching BlackZero!!! 🤗
Just play the damn game instead guessing the game trailers are ment to show case a games gameplay not tell the whole story. You can watch a trailer for so long you keep nit picking the trailer. Just play the game to understand more so ppl watching don't facepalm themselves watching your video. Idk how many times I've facepalmed myself listening to this. Ugh!!!!
You hit a lot nails on the head with the Metal Gear franchise. So much lore depth honestly 😅 also would love to see you dissect Hideo Kojima's recent game Death Stranding. Which is equally as cryptic as per Hideo usual.
Oh man, I'M GLAD! I was so nervous when MGS 5 trailer pulled through, I was at a loss for words and ideas. But glad I ... kinda nailed it 😂 Thanks for watching and to be honest, I own Death Stranding but I never played it myself. I will add this to my list! Look out soon 🤗
Bro you lying like crazy...... simp no offense, but she missed in everything, mgs 1 no clue, mgs 2 no clue, mgs3 no clue..... but I called you a simp cause I'm a fan boy of MG and she missed every time, but you say she hit the nail on the head, what your head? Lol again no offense but come on what you wrote was like if you hated MGS
Let me break it down really simply; A woman named Boss trained a soldier named Big Boss aka Jack aka Naked Snake, who was cloned at least 4 times and they at various points were given the codenames; Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, Venom Snake and Solidus Snake (the former's name is David). Solid Snake is the main series protagonist, except in the Metal Gear Solid 2 (in which Raiden is the star who is also named Jack), as well as MGS3, MGS5 and Metal Gear Portable Ops, Peace Walker and Metal Gear Ground Zeroes (in which either Big Boss or Venom Snake star). The series follows the conflict between Big Boss and Major Tom aka Zero aka Cipher (aka the unit leader of special forces Fox of which Big Boss was a part) as they try to interpret and honour the legacy of their mentor Boss. At some point Big Boss starts a militia and threatens the world with Nuclear destruction using a Metal Gear (a bipedal tank that can launch Nuclear Weapons), his clone Solid Snake kills him (or at least he thinks he did back in the original Metal Gear game). Major Tom is still alive but creates a giant AI system that gets out of hand and attempts to take over and regulate the world (including armed conflict). Then there's a spin off game about Raiden fighting Senator Armstrong (some decades after Raiden killed the President of the United States who turned out to be Solidus)... who has supercharged himself with nanomachines... Got it?... No? Don't worry the plot was written by a mad man.
Ill try to sum it up, the guy shown in the first game is called solid snake, he was a clone of snake (aka big boss aka jack, the guy with one arm) now jack, used to work for usa, but then he was hired to kill boss (the woman in white in mgs 3) he did it, and that's how he got the name big boss, because he killed boss, but he couldn't cope with the fact that he just killed the dearest person to him for a bunch of old men, so he turned his back on america, but nah, they wont let him go just like that, they cloned two versions of him, liquid snake and solid snake, now these two didn't have the same life, liquid went through a lot and ended being the opposite of solid snake, but anyways, the story is amazing, metal gear has it all.
Man Metal Gear is my favorite franchise ever. The story goes places and the games over a long period of time. It was super fun to see someone with no experience with the franchise just watching the trailers and trying to figure out what’s going on. There’s really two main characters in Metal Gear - Solid Snake and Big Boss. You actually play as Big Boss in MGS 3, Portable Ops, and Peace Walker. Snake is the playable character in MGS 1, part of MGS 2, and MGS 4.
@@babyoli /watch?v=NL4ZxDWLwpM check it out!! or just search up "MGSV Red Band Trailer" in the search. Let me know what you think if that link works or if you find it! :) it's VERY epic to say the least lol
It's always a delight see someone new get lost into this massive and beloved rabbit hole that it's MGS. I'll guess it's time for me to play the franchise all over again xD
The fact that when you nail something, even if it's not for the right reason, is pretty impressive. If playing it isn't your cup of tea; watching is always an option.
whoo hoo! I'm glad I met your expectations haha I did my best! I heard that I put the videos in the incorrect order but... hey better luck next time I guess lol. Yeah I think I'll play Revegeance and give the other's a watch through (summary video) OR maybe I'll watch all of the game cinematics 😉 Thanks for watching jamauln!! xo
I'm sure I have MUCH more to understand and unpack. I have some future videos to dig a bit deeper into the series, seems like I scratched the surface. Thanks for watching 140550! 🤗 (is that code for something?)
@@babyoli I’m sorry this took a long time to reply, it was a random handle I made up; and it’s not code. I may change at some point with extra numbers or come up with a new random name. Regardless it was when I was a youngling that i chose to name it that.

Chronological 1964 - Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater - Naked Snake/Big Boss 1970 - Portable Ops - Naked Snake 1974 - Peace Walker - Big Boss 1975 - Ground Zeroes - Big Boss 1984 - The Phantom Pain - Big Boss... 1995 - Metal Gear - Solid Snake 1999 - Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake - Solid Snake 2005 - Metal Gear Solid (MGS1 and The Twin Snakes, MGS1 Remake) - Solid Snake 2007/09 - Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty - Solid Snake/Raiden 2014 - Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots - Solid Snake/Old Snake 2018 - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Raiden There isn't THAT much story, well there is, but it is an epic one. I hope this helps! :D
Also you should watch trailers of “Death Stranding” if you haven’t already. It’s made by the same creator of the MGS series. If you were lost from these trailers, Death Stranding takes it to a whole new level lol
Wonder what I'll make of that damn baby in the case. But I know a bit of the game, I do own it but it's not mine (someone else's) but it's on my list to review!!! Thanks for watching Brandon hehe 🤗
Great video!! I enjoyed watching you guessing what the game is all about. Very original. And you were pretty close with a lot of things. But mgs has a complex and deep storyline so it’s impossible to guess it just by watching the trailers. I hope you will play the games yourself one day!
I was 16 when MGS released and I wasn't interested in it until I played the demo of the 1st game. I beat the demo like 20 times before getting the full game.
One of my all time favourite things is to see people experience MGS for the first time. There's nothing that comes close to replicating the sheer fever dream insanity of these games
Snake from msg3 was not solid snake that was a guy called naked snake and he did kill the boss and he was promoted to Big boss he is also the same snake in Msg5 but soild snake is a clone of big boss but one of the side effects is faster aging so Soild Snake from mgs4 is actually I think 5 years older than mgs1 or mgs2
@@babyoli Adding onto what @buhlemanwane4467 said, the Snake in MGS5 is also Big Boss. There are actually four games featuring him set in the Cold War (MGS3, Portable Ops, Peace Walker, and MGS5). Or I guess five if you treat Ground Zeroes separate from The Phantom Pain. I suppose you could think of Big Boss as kind of like the Anakin/Darth Vader of the series. A foil for his clone son in the games set during the 21st Century, whose story sees him go from hero to villain. Though there is a pretty big twist about him in The Phantom Pain's endgame... Also The Twin Snakes is actually a Gamecube remake of MGS1. You might have noticed it had a similar snowy setting as the first trailer.
It's best to play the games than to watch the trailers to avoid spoilers, the best experience is to expect the unexpected. It's like movie trailers and teasers. I have played all of Hideo's game and it's a masterpiece. Please play them.
it's... TOO LATE!! haha spent 3 or 4 hours watching these trailers 😅 but i will dive deeper in the series in future videos, have a few up and coming ones on MGS.
@@babyoli How many video game trailers have you watch without playing the game first? Most vids on the channel are all about reactions and no gameplay and there are no videos on the twitch channel.
@@ethanlarson9029 Wait, does she actually play games? Look, I don't think so. There some channels for reactions of videogames trailers only. I thought that was the case
The MetalGearSolid series is my favorite gaming franchise! And as a fan I loved your reactions and your analysis as a non Metalgear fan👍😁 and yes I admit the series story as a whole can be a convoluted but damn the gameplay, the themes, characters. How each game feels different than the last without losing its identity. Such a great series IMO. Glad I got to see this in my recommended!
Aw thanks Liberty! Yes I can clearly tell from your username you are a die hard fan so I'm glad I was able to satisfy you 😎 heheheh thanks for watching! xo
You got the basics right - with is a great feat! As for the real plots, twists and social commentary you'll need to understand the ambiguous characters and numerous themes of the game.
lmao the "real plots" 😪 Yeah i think understanding the character relations are pretty key. since I believe Snake is genetically modified... i bet a bunch of them are! I think I read in another comment they all are created from the "Big Boss" or something. But glad I scored high on this one 😂 woo hoo!! Thanks for watching Be Mindful!
@@babyoli On the surface, the basics are the genetically modified people that were made from dna - which is only used as a plot device. With real plots I mean the profound meanings behind the social commentary. If you're interested, this explains why MGS2 is the most profound game in history: th-cam.com/video/jIYBod0ge3Y/w-d-xo.html All the key players have their agenda's and motivation that doesn't necessarily stem from 'super bad guy', making the ambiguous nature of the game question your own motivation and role. In that sense its not your typical story. You might even say that you, the player, is a bad guy. Its a bit much to deep into since it's a complex franchise to understand, but you did a good job in picking up a few things from the trailers.
@@babyoli Yeah, please consider reacting to that video recommendation! You won't regret it! And perhaps you should watch videos explaning of each of the main games! It's okay if you don't play them, but the explanations will *definitely* delight you!
@@babyoli 3 and 5 are prequels with completely different characters and protagonists. It took me ten years of playthroughs to fully understand every single detail. I've memorized every aspect of these games. This is the most intricate story ever told. If you overlook one thing, you'll have dozens of questions. The fact that you picked up on this much is really impressive.
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is a remake of Metal Gear Solid 1. Let me see if I can help you a bit to understand a bit on how the MAIN Metal Gear games are ordered. Keep in mind that the story order is not the same as the release order. The series has two overarching arcs. The Big Boss arc and the Solid Snake arc. Each arc takes place over a number of years and the Big Boss arc influences the events of the Solid Snake arc. Big Boss arc: Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Solid Snake arc: Metal Gear Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake Metal Gear Solid/Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a spinoff starring a different character named Raiden, who was introduced in MGS2 as a second playable character and who later made an important appearance in MGS4. The gameplay is clearly very different and focused on aggressive combat, but it can also be played using some familiar stealth elements.
OO thanks Nyarlatheotep! I think i get the difference between Big Boss and Solid Snake... I think hahaha. But let's zoom in on Raiden cause he gives me Nier Automata vibes and I really like it. I think I missed when Raiden was introduced in the earlier trailers I didn't notice it was a different "person" for lack of a better term. Thanks for watching !!! 🤗
MGS3 is a prequel. The (Naked) Snake you see in MGS3 and the last 2 games is the "father" of the (Solid) Snake from the 1, 2, and 4. The young guy with a revolver, named Ocelot, is young in MGS3 and older in the other games. Might I also suggest that you listen to the theme song of Snake Eater as it's one of the best songs to ever be made for a video game.
You should really play them or even make walkthrough videos, but in this order: 1964 -Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater 1974 - Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker 1975 - Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes 1984 - Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain 1995 - Metal Gear 1999 - Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake 2005 - Metal Gear Solid 2007/09 - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty 2014 - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots 2018 - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance PS: If you dont find Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake fun to play, because they are ancient game you could go through their story only, but I recommend them. :) Another thing, all of these games can be played on PS3, MGS4 is the only PS3 exclusive here, the other ones you can play on XB360, XB One or Series X/S or you can even emulate them on PC, if you have good enough PC you can even emulate the PS3 version of MGS4. Native PC supported titles are MGSV and Revengeance.
I can tell u without even watching... ur not gonna get anything from the trailers other than a gist of what the game play is. Tell u what I'll just say MGS1's main thing...was that it was fully voiced and done pretty well. With a pretty unique story. And as the numbers increased the story pretty much just copied the first over and over again but with better graphics combined with a retroactive, convoluted main plot. And then on the last one.. David Hayter got shafted for a movie star, who basically just phoned in most of his lines. In that instead of him acting off of someone...majority of Kiefer Sutherland's VA is in cassette tape, form. 7:22 better question if you ever get to MGS5 is how many times does Hideo Kojima have to inject his name into that game... (while pretty much giving Konami the middle finger)
Is that his thing to plug in an Easter Egg? I think another comment said that he was also in the helicopter in MGSV. And cool fat about David Hayter... had NO idea haha that's really neat. Thanks for watching and sharing Rene! xo
to grossly oversimplify: MGS1 = Die Hard/The Rock/any tom clancy novel with some elements taken from sci fi stuff like Ghost in the Shell in aesthetics. MGS2 = MGS2 similar aesthetics to MGS1 but instead of Ghost in the Shell, Kojima probably watched Serial Experiments Lain this time. MGS3 = Sean Connery/Roger Moore era james bond + Rambo + Xmen in the jungle, after the last two mostly urban environment games this one is a big change of pace, also IMO the strongest and most well paced narrative and gameplay wise of the entire series. MG Peace Walker is essentially the Sequal to 3 and leans into the CIA doing dodgy things in the 70s, think Call of Duty Cold War/Black Ops type stuff, MGS4 = Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 with extra melodrama, its more like a movie then the rest and is the full conclusion to the series (atleast for snake). MGS5 = Rambo 3 in Afghanistan mixed with the book 1984 (which it also takes place in). MG Rising is Raidens spinoff set after MGS4 and probably the biggest meme game, highly entertaining because it doesnt take itself too seriously.
I read this in the morning with my coffee and melted over the brainpower required for this comment response 😂 It's funny that I know everything you speak of (even lain, owned that dvd as a kid, messed up tbh) except Tom Clancy because yeah never got into that. but i appreciate the amount of detail in your comparisons ahhah. Thanks for watching Al!!! xo
metal gear is so funny to look at from the outside because everyone thinks "oh its a serious military game where you go on missions and stuff" if you've never played them and then you get to the fire unicorn and bee people
Fun video! You should do another with the other MGSV trailers to give you a little bit more context/feel for that installment since it seemed like that one confused you the most. Great trailers and best overall gameplay for the entire series.
For clarification: MGS: VR Missions is a standalone game that ties into the story of MGS2. MGS2: Substance is a Director's Cut with lots of bonus content. MGS3: Subsistence is a Director's Cut with a new camera system, bonus content, Metal Gear Online and the inclusion of the two first Metal Gear games from the NES. MGS: The Twin Snakes is a remake of the first game on the GameCube.
Metal gear is a series that even though the last game was nearly a decade ago, people are still writing video essays about its more subtle themes and characters
Nice reaction! I just bought a PS3 to play the MGS4 and MGSV, you should definitely play the games they are really fun and well put together, although the story is kind of confusing at times it just makes you get mind blown at the end of each game
Oh damn! That's an OG move, you literally couldve played a download/PSN copy but you went full throttle. Much respects. I'll probably watch some videos on it, I don't know if it tickles my fancy 😂 my lack of ways to say no. Revegeance yes! Thanks for watching Frank 🤗
Yeah, no shot at getting anything from the trailers. Kojima is a notorious hater of trailers that spoile the plot of movies, and as a result trailers for his games are always filled with deception and misdirects so the only way to know is to play the games. It's part of his charm tho, big troll but his story telling abilities and campy humor back it up.
lmao yeah especially MSG V was a total stumper. I actually had to watch it twice and took notes to see if I could come up with anything for that one. BUT comments told me I missed something and put them out of order. derp. anyways haha thanks for watching Manny! 🤗
Heh as deceit filled as the early trailers are Kojima had really become a grumpy old man about it for V, so no surprise. Tho other issues probably bled into that reasoning. For what its worth genuinely appreciate the effort to try and decipher this mess.
Metal Gear Solid VR Missions is mostly practice to help you get better scores in Metal Gear Solid and it's mentioned a lot in the 2nd game as a somewhat plot point
Mgs 2 substance and Mgs3 subsistence are basically “definitive” versions of each respective game. Twin snakes is a “remake” of Mgs 1. I laughed my ass off at the mgs2 substance trailer reaction because it’s showing all the new side content, which out of context must be extremely jarring to see Godzilla sized enemies and snake on a skateboard 😂😂😂 You got a surprising amount right given the convoluted nature of the franchise to even the people that played em. Mgs 1 (2005), kinda Mgs 2 (2007-2009) and Mgs 4 (2014) are all solid snake. Mgs 3 (1964), mgsv ground zeroes (1974)and kinda mgs v (1984) are big boss aka naked snake. Btw the person you keep thinking is the boss is a dude called major raikov 😂😂
OH my god hahah I thought MGS2 was hella confusing. I was wondering how all of the dialogue fits together 😂 Yeah those friggen different clones really destroyed my mind. No way I coulda figured that out. Major Raikov... noted. Thanks for watching J! xo
Man this gave me flashbacks of my playthroughs. Very nice video! Im impressed hiw you got around 50% of the story. But it'll be so much better if you play all th games. I'd definitely watch it. Just subscribed!
@@babyoli roughly around 50%. You sonehow got some major plit twists but missed out some details. I'll give you a B grade for that. Looking forward for more MGS content. But seriously, play it! You'll realize why it's called a masterpiece.
Wait, Olz!? You've never played any of them??? xD Guessing this convoluted storyline without any insight is hilarious. Saving this for tomorrow with some popcorn.
You may want to find plot overview sort of video's for each game as the trailers are really confusing without context. Phantom pain, storywise was a really great send off and helped piece the timeline of boss and big boss (solid snake) together, even with the cut content.
@@babyoli not just that, the game kinda predict about the nature of social media today. With the example of how society will drown themself in trivial content of social media, how the higher ups control context on the internet, fake news, forced political correctness and value system, echo chambers of information. It is kinda scary a game that come out in 2001 can predict this accurately.
You should defintely play these games and make videos commenting on the plot after each one. It would be great to see your reactions to the actual plot. You got a lot correct, pretty much everything it was possible to get from the trailers. But that's like 5% of what's really there.
If you're wondering what the MGS game timeline is in chronological order: MGS3 (1964), MGS Peace Walker (1974), MGSV Ground Zeroes (1975), MGSV The Phantom Pain (1984), Metal Gear (1995), Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (1999), MGS1 (2005), MGS2 (2007-2009), & MGS4 (2014). Also the MGO (Metal Gear Online) & VR (VIrtual Reality), have nothing to do with the main storyline. There different versions of the "Snake Family". Solid Snake (David), featured in MG2 SS, MGS1, MGS2, & MGS4. Liquid Snake (Eli) featured in MGSV TPP, MGS1, & MGS2 (somewhat). Solidus Snake(George Sears) "Clone of Big Boss", MGS2, & the original & father of Solid, Liquid: Naked Snake "Big Boss" (John).
welp! good job on the reaction and my condolences on your loss. i have been playing religiously since 1998's GLORIOUS release of both the game and the proverbial PSX a MUCH NEEDED improvement from my sega boogerman and robocop vs terminator......games(?). i would highly recommend diving in as its never too late HOWEVER i can appreciate a good cup of tea...my condolences. RIP snake and family
Yeah I have Silent Hill on my list!!! I rented Silent Hill from Blockbuster back in the day... probably ps1 lol and PT (if that counts). But will give my _expert opinion_ on that 😂 Thanks for watching Oscar! 🤗
That was a terrible trailer for Solid 2 HD I didnt even know it existed. Should have watched the E3 2000 reveal trailer of the original Sons of Liberty.
This was so much fun to watch. You even managed to confuse me. Luckily I'm playing through them all again because I never finished 5. Subbed! I think you should watch the story though. Characters are great and there are some very emotional and significant moments along the eay.
@@babyoli Oh can't wait. I always enjoy when people find new stuff to dive into. MGS is quite lore heavy and there are hours of cinematics. But you can find great explanatory videos that might take less time if you just want to get the gist of it.
I'm definitely keen on learning more about her she seems badass! In future videos i'll definitely dedicate a portion this boss lady 😎 hehe thanks for watching Ani! 🤗
Sooo its been a while, and I hope you’re doing well!! I looked at a few comments, and saw you replied that your starting the series!!! How are you enjoying it? Do you understand more of the story? Also will we have a playthrough!?
@@babyoliif you’re wondering, this is the same person with the numbers😂. Just a different account, but I’m excited on your play though!! I hope o get a notification when it’s out!!
To put in simple terms: Metal Gear Solid’s story focuses on the politics of war and how in this world war is changing due to the technological advancement of tech and weaponry-specifically the Metal Gears, which, as you guessed, are mobile nuke launchers. The other half of the story focuses on the secret elite agency known as Fox Hound: specifically on “Snake” who’s life and destiny where shaped for him since before even his birth, and him trying to do what’s right as the perfect soldier while contemplating the job over his own needs.
Oli - you got a few points correct. However, Metal Gear Peace Walker comes in after MGS 3 and is an integral part of the story. That is where you are introduced to Paz, and why you should care about her. There is basically two stories going on- the one that follows Big Boss, as you stated he kills the Boss to earn the title. And because that mission came from the US, he left them behind. Fox was the original organization which became Fox Hound, which he helped organize. As far as Ground Zeros, yes he goes to rescue her because she knows the location of their base. Big Boss has gone his own way, and doing his own missions. She does end up dead after giving up the info under torture, they ambush Big Boss and company and he ends up in a coma. That is where the Phantom Pain picks up. You were correct about X-O-F being a splinter group. As far as your reaction- you picked the wrong Phantom Pain trailer, that wasn't the first one, which is why its so hard to understand. The first one gives way more clarity. I totally understand why its not something you would want to play. Its tailored toward guys like most games are. The one you liked was with Raiden, who is a character introduced in MGS 2. And some fans hated him, because it was a bait and switch of characters. But now, like all things he has grown on the audience. And yes, he has become a bit of a badass, especially when he becomes a cyborg ninja. The game you like is Metal Gear Revengeance. And yeah, its fun to play, and got some really cool scenes. But like I said, there are two main characters, Big Boss who is the original Snake, and Solid Snake, who is his "son" so to speak, or cloned from his genetics to be the ultimate soldier. So yeah, not bad.
Whoo hoo thanks Leon. If you have the link to the first MGSV trailer, paste it! I would be interested to understand this burning man integration lol still confused about that. No answers 😅 I think what I've gathered from the comments that most people like Raiden. I'm probably going to check that one out because... I've kinda alluded it gives me Nier Automata feels. I am kinda into shooters now not too much. Probably just played lots of Counter Strike and Destiny haha but yeah more into RPGs think that's why Revengeance seems up my alley. Thanks for your input! And thanks for watching 🤗
@@babyoli Here's a couple trailers below to MGS5 that give better context. That game was hit and miss for me. Because when it was released, the story wasn't a finished product, and that is why some things like the "Man on fire" are not well explained. But those of us who have played the series a while know that its Volgin from MGS3 who got struck by a bolt of lightning. But the gag about the Man on fire, is that you can take him out with a water gun. No, I'm not kidding. There's a mission where you have to take him out to proceed. At the beginning of the game, its explained that your character after coming out of the coma, has shrapnel in his skull, and it cannot be removed because he would die. The doctor further explains that he will have hallucinations because of the metal pressing on his brain. Hence why some scenes just make no sense whatsoever. What is real funny, is you can beat up your teammates, and they will thank you for the "training". And no, you don't hold a gun and a knife at the same time in the field. That is not CQC. That's being an idiot. I'm not a big shooter gamer either. I don't need to play Call of Duty, I actually lived through two years in the sandbox, (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Iraq) And that was enough for me, nothing beats American soil. I'm intrigued where they take the FF7 Remake part 2. I really enjoy the FF series in general. That is more my style. Anyhow, glad to have found your channel and look forward to other reactions.

These weren''t ALL the MGS Cinematic trailers. Both MGS4 and MGSV especially have so many more trailers. You should try to find them all and react to them. Maybe if you ever play MGS1-3 first maybe as a warm up to them beforehand.

You should definitely consider playing these games. Quite the treat honestly, great story and the later entries have fantastic gameplay and am personally torn between 4 and 5
O M G yeah it's amazing. It reinvigorated my love for Tales games all over again! I love me a good romance game 😂 and voice acting is on point. #teamRinwell
@@babyoli mmhmm. And IMO it's pretty topical and deep. Which I don't mind. Really kind of hits on the points of racism and prejudice.. and just kind of destroys those concepts. Deserved more love for when it came out (even with it being the highest rated and best selling Tales game since Symphonia)
![FILMMAKER REACTS: METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE | [ALL CUTSCENES!!]](/img/n.gif)
Was I right about... anything? Let me know below!!! 😂👇
Snake is a clone of Big Boss, so you were close when you said he was genetically modified. Close, not right.
The last game is kind of a prequel and that's not the Snake you know.
Lol. It's so hard to guess the plots. They are amazing games but very convoluted. Half are prequels to MGS1 like 40 years before or so, a long while (MGS3, MGS Peace Walker and MGSV are all before MGS1. In fact they take place during the cold war and like late 70s, right after the cold war. The original MGS1 takes place in like 2005) and if you don't know that it adds to the confusion.
And oh!! That young, blonde hair woman in the bikini.. She does sire the children of Big Boss (these children would be the main characters of MGS1 and up. Solid Snake, Liquid Snake the antagonist of most games, and more)
Just play the games 🤪🤣 you'll like em 😌
@@CrazeeAdam you forgot about MG1 and MG2 - both also before MGS1. But yes they were obviously not a part here since they could not have "cinematic trailers"
"did he cut his arm off?" the answer to that question is more complicated than you might expect.
😂 oh god i should have known!!! Hideo!!! But it looked like his arm was intact afterwards. Unless my old eyes deceived me. Thanks for watching and feel free to share some lore
"More complicated" is an understatement lmao
@@babyoli what if I told you that Ocelot attached a new arm from Liquid snake; and Liquid Snake Was able to control ocelot from the grave through that arm!?
@@marcatalyst what if i told you that liquid actually didnt control ocelot through the arm, but that ocelot had in fact hypnotized himself to believe that was the case?
@@Snake420 what if i told you liquid snake and ocelot were in fact lovers sharing the same body, but Solid Snake's jealously compromised everything which lead to their demise? Also metal gear or whatever
“It’s a little hard to unpack…”
Describes each game and in fact the saga perfectly
omg! was i that correct?? I was scared I was going to get ripped apart in this video 😆 whoo hoo! Thanks for watching xo
@@babyoli LOL I mean they are hard to unpack. :)
The first Metal Gear Solid is the most straightforward, until liquid goes on about ‘Les Enfants Terrible’ and yammers on for half an hour. 😂 And The Twin Snakes is essentially a more goofy remake of it.
@@Jbluez1 "The first Metal Gear Solid is the most straightforward" aka endless gunfire, stealth mode, bad peripherals by the guards, and 0 dialogue hahah yes... very straightforward 👀I'll probably have to pick your brain on this one
@@babyoli Oh trust me there is hours of dialogue.
@@Jbluez1 i trust you senseii
basically, there are 5 snakes and 3 bosses. 2 of the snakes are big bosses, 3 of the snakes are clones, one is a body double who is not a clone, and one is the original snake and ocelot becomes snake, and also raiden is thrown in there somewhere.
also the chronology of the games goes mgs3, peace walker, ground zeroes, phantom pain (V), mg1, mg2, mgs, mgs2, mgs4, metal gear rising
any questions?
many questions..😂 i wanna learn more about raiden 😌 but thank you for your thorough breakdown! and thanks for watching 😇
I am big boss
@@divacroft1034 I’m Big Boss. And you are too. He’s the two of us together. What we are today? We built it. This story-This “legend” it’s ours.

"I feel like there is a twist in this game"
Me: "You don't know the half of it"
😂 like i said at the end, I probably captured 5% of the storyline haha. ok lets be realistic probably 2%. Thanks for watching Wild Bard!! 🥰
@@babyoli for me its 12%, and any higher you'd need to sift through it.
@u140550 haha so accurate 12%... ill take it!!! 😂
@@babyoli and 100% you should play them and see for yourself... even if trailers showed a whole lot (especially the ones for the expansions obviously) it's still nothing. Story is that crazy even if you got spoilered there is a 50% chance they just got it wrong, lmao
all of these MGS games are literally all about twists and conspiracies i fuckin love all of them!
her " is he a mercenary or a spy"
me "he's the man who sold the world"
that’s venom snake 😭🙏
@jtops6292 that's actually Naked Snake( Big Boss), bru 🙏
The entire Metal Gear series is just one legendary piece of gaming history.
Hideo Kojima is a legend himself. Wouldn't expect anything less from him!!! heheh thanks for watching 😊

Make yourself a favour and play them all

I've been a gamer for nearly 40 years, and was a game reviewer for over a decade of that. I was fortunate enough to play, write about, and analyze all of the Metal Gear Solid games when they originally came out. It's so interesting to see a newcomer try to piece together what this series is about just by the trailers, which is an impossible task. They're done specifically to show just a fraction of what's actually happening; there are so many more twists and layers to each of these games, and even the ones you figured out were the minor ones. What appears (at least in the beginning) as a simple stealth action game series explores themes of anti-war, criticism of the military industrial complex, government and corporate corruption, geopolitics, moral relativism, the impact of modern technological developments, the role of mass media, sacrifice, bioethics, genetics, destiny, generational trauma, terrorism vs freedom, duty vs desire, loyalty vs betrayal, ideals vs disillusionment, truth vs propaganda, naivety vs responsibility, the self-destructive nature of revenge, the dangers of ambition, the deliberately surreal nature of video games, the all-too meta nature of sequels as a concept... All wrapped up with some of the most polished gameplay and bizarre/entertaining/memorable characters you'll ever see. I _wish_ I could get into this (especially MGS2 and 3) without spoiling the plots, but I don't want to spoil anything for you. The less you know going in, the better. If you don't want to play the games, you can find all of the games' cutscenes (and even non-commentary playhroughs) on TH-cam. The Metal Gear Solid series is one of the most cinematic in all of gaming, so you can actually watch them as if they were long movies.
So you're an OG gamer Poly (like me)!! I feel like we can nerdgasm on a few things lol. I can appreciate that, and thanks for your "high level" breakdown haha. I would love to read your review but AFTER i watch some of the cinematics. Definitely going to give another guess of the games from watching the cinematics and I think I'll get a better sense of what's going on. I think one of the comments talked about the truth vs. propaganda and I was thinking in today's age, that resonates a lot with me lol (I think our world today is super corrupt). But paste it! I'll check it out! Thanks for watching and sharing your story 🤗
@@babyoli Oh, if I cut and paste any of my reviews here directly, the character limit would be reached instantly. I wrote in long-form essay format, none of that clickbait stuff you see today. I won lots of writing contests, and had a huge readership that got me over 2 million views just by word of mouth. Those pre-social media years were great, when people still had attention spans... Anyway, I tried linking to an old archive of a couple of reviews here and posting. However, this caused TH-cam's autocensor to shadowban me, so I'll have to figure out a way around it.
The archive is on Game Frequently Asked Questions; I can't type out how the site is _actually_ spelled, because the abbreviated form of "Frequently Asked Questions" _also_ gets hit with TH-cam's autocensor. Unbelievable... Anyway, just search for the site and my handle, "Polymathic"; my works are easy to find. I've also spent lots of time methodically going through each game in the series (as well as many others!) and posting all the secrets and tricks I could find. I also recently posted tons of info on the site for RE4 Remake, so finding my profile should be pretty easy.
I'll hold off writing anything else until you see some more of the series. And yeah, there are certain aspects of Metal Gear Solid that resonate much stronger today than they did 20 years ago. I can't explain which ones without spoiling it, but let's just say that the story was _incredibly_ prescient.
@@Polymathically Whoo found it! Favourited for later www.gamespot.com/metal-gear-solid-3-subsistence/user-reviews/2200-49369/ Thanks for sharing Poly! xo
@@babyoli also the trailers are not in the right order in time-line story wise so you got abit confused because of it
@@babyoli Huh, that's odd. That profile came about when GameFAQs and GameSpot merged year ago, but it doesn't show my archive. Try looking up "GameFAQS" and "Polymathic" and it should show up. I've been posting a bunch of Metal Gear cheats and secrets on there over the last few days.
imagine trying to understand mgs with just the trailers, i didn't even understand it playing all the games
LOL! your comment made my day 😂 I think many people are also in your boat
You did an incredible job pulling every detail out of these trailers! There's a lot you didn't get, but only because not everything was shown in the trailers. These games have tons of plot twists, so you can't really have those in the trailers, you know? Great job!
Chronological order of Metal Gear games:
-Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (Subsistence is an enhanced version with some extra content)
-Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
-Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
-Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain (Ground Zeroes is a separate prolog to Phantom Pain, which starts right from where Ground Zeroes ends)
-Metal Gear
-Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
-Metal Gear Solid (and The Twin Snakes remake)
-Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (Substance is an enhanced version with some extra content)
-Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
-Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
MGS3 to MGSV chronicles the tale of Big Boss from 1964 to 1984. MG to MGS4 is the tale of Solid Snake from 2005 to 2014. MGS2 to MGR is the tale of Raiden from 2009 to 2018.
yeah I messed that one up! For my next few MGS videos going to start at #3. Thanks senseii Jay!
15:40 "That man is getting attacked by a bird!" Is such a hilarious thing to say about that scene. If only you knew what's actually going on in that moment! 😂
You definitely should have chosen Metal Gear Solid 5 Redband Trailer. It's one of the best choreographed/composed, most well put together trailers ever made. T_T
That's a big statement! I'll have to check it out. Apparently I missed some of the better ones 😅 my trailer gathering skills are level 0 = noob.
@@babyoli No problem! Also the Tokyo Game Show trailer for Metal Gear Rising is another phenomenal one. The music really makes or breaks the delivery and both the MGS5 Redband trailer, and the MGR TGS trailer are phenomenal.

@Chaoxytal whoo thanks Chaox! ill give it a look througy
As a big MGS fan, I enjoyed your reaction! I think the part that confused you the most is that there are multiple Snakes (hard to tell from the trailers for sure lol). MGS 3 and 5 are period pieces as well, which is why there were cassette tapes used. Rather than being genetically modified, Solid Snake (the main character of the series) is the clone of the Snake from MGS 3, which is set in 1964.
Whoo thanks KG!!! I'm glad I was able to satisfy your expectations. TBH I thought the difference in age was due to the time elapsing between games but I learned from the comments that there were a few snakes. Liquid snake and Solid snake 😉 i'm almost a pro now right?? Genetically modified = clones? hahaha probably not but I can try to squeeze in that win 😂 Thanks for watching KG! 🤗
Metal Gear has one of the most lore dense stories in all of media. It's almost impossible to explain without watching a lore video or playing the games in chronological order. MGs spands from 1960s to not so distant future and merges real world events with fiction. If you like conspiracy theories, you'll really love this series lol
Yeah Adam was trying to explain it to me haha. I love conspiracy theories because they are 99.9% true 😂
@@babyoli The proper way to play the games is chronological order.
@@damacattack8434 ohhhh interesting.. even though they weren't released in chronological order hahahah. Dam
@@babyoli In terms of the complete Metal Gear story, it started with Snake Eater and ended with Revengeance.
I love how close but far away you are, but that's to be expected with something as convoluted as the Metal Gear franchise. I've played almost all of the games, am still confused and have enjoyed every moment. Thanks to you for being so fun and charming on this little adventure.
LOL! phew you made me feel so much better since you're a player and still confused. I'll wipe the sweat off my forehead now. Thanks for watching Berg!! xo
The story was pretty easy to follow up until mgs2 where even if you understand everything you cant actually say what the fuck happened lol
@@Phantom-kc9ly ditto this
that is not the best phantom pain trailer, you should have used the "METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN | E3 2015 Trailer [Long] (EU)" trailer
You know what? After actually watching the video you're about 80% right. Very genre savvy. Big props to you.
Whoo hoo! I'm so glad (I read this comment when i woke up this morning and celebrated with a coffee lol)! And thanks for watching the whole thing, I know it's a commitment. Was there something i was totally off on? Probably MGS 5 right? It was overly cryptic.
MGS-1- All the protagonists are part of the US military, specifically a unit called FOX-hound, a specialised unit full of the best of the best.
The girl who helps you is Meryl, who was there undercover.
And the genome soldiers are failed attempts at cloning Big Boss, which is why they suck. Solid and Liquid are perfected clones and direct children.
The terrorists are threatening everyone with nukes that can be fired from Metal Gear Rex, a giant robot with a nuke-railcannon.
The guy with no name is Gray Fox, a good friend of Solid that Solid believed he killed during a big battle in Metal Gear, one of the NES/SNES games, that take place before MGS.
MGS-2- The Tech guy with the parrot is Hal Emmerich also known as Otacon, he was forced into building Rex and now works with Snake to destroy all Metal Gears.
The big base is called Big Shell, officially it's a facility that cleans the water, but actually it's Metal Gear Arsenal, a massive storage facility for dozens of Metal Gear Rays that Raiden, the white-haired guy fights alone.
Also the mission Raiden is on was supposed to mimic MGS 1 so that the Patriots could train Raiden into being just as capable as Solid Snake.
There's a huge mindfuck section near the end of the game that has Raiden questioning reality. It doesn't help when Snake points at his bandanna and says "Infinite ammo." In response to Raidens question about if he's ready for the final section. Snake is a major troll. It runs in the family.
MGS-3- This is a prequel about Big Boss set during the cold war.
The major thing here is that The Boss is actually fully dead, she's the final boss.
And Eva, the bikini girl, uses Boss to steal the Philosophers legacy, which is basically just a tiny data chip that leads to a gazillion dollars.
All Metal Gears fire nukes, that's their Raison D'etre.
This game explains why Big Boss becomes a villain, his plan is just to give purpose to soldiers who have nothing left because the government is run by asshats who will send thousands to their death to line their pockets.
MGS4- The Cyborg is Raiden, he gets messed up by The Patriots, the secret background Antagonists. Now he's about 90% Cybernetic.
You state that Liquid might be behind everything... No-one actually knows it that's true. Ocelot, one of the recurring antagonists from the first and third game, claims to be possessed by his arm, which was transplanted to him from Liquid Snakes corpse.
Everybody has Nanomachines and if you don't have permission to fire a weapon you can't so fighting is much harder.
This game actually only takes place a few years after two, it's just that Nanomachines and Clones don't mix well so Snake rapidly ages before dying at the end of the game.
MGR:R- Raiden is the protagonist and it's set a little while after MGS4. He's a member of Maverick, a Private Military Company. That black dude is the politician Raiden is supposed to protect and the same one who starts calling him Mr.Lightning Bolt as a joke.
Cyborgs are becoming much more prevalent, but they're separate from Nanomachines.
Raidens actual objective is saving children from a horrific experiment to create more copies of Raiden, who was a child soldier with a higher body count than god. They rip the kids brains out of their head, put them in jars and subject them to constant VR missions, zapping their pleasure centre when they kill someone to brainwash them into enjoying killing. Just like Raiden.
MGS5- Another prequel about Big Boss.
Ground Zeroes is a fully paid demo, you actually save Kojima In-game, "What took you so long."
Phantom Pain is the actual game.
The man on fire is just a weird mutant. I kinda forgot who that is.
And the absolute greatest bit of genius on your part. In this game you do actually play as a body double of BB. Not the real BB.
Your expert opinion is expert level.
Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes was a remake of the first game. Metal Gear Solid 3 was the prequel of the 80's games with them centering around Snake's dad. Metal Gear Solid 4, Gekkos go Moo. Metal Gear Solid 5 Ground Zeros "Snake what took you so long?" Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phantom Pain they played us like a Fiddle! V has come to.
Yeah I think some of the other comments articulated what I couldn't hear for the life of me haha. Okay i wish I knew that solid snakes was a remake! Gah, that would've made things so much better. I think i gotta do better research into the timelines vs. relying on game launch dates 😅 Thanks for watching BlackZero!!! 🤗
Just play the damn game instead guessing the game trailers are ment to show case a games gameplay not tell the whole story. You can watch a trailer for so long you keep nit picking the trailer. Just play the game to understand more so ppl watching don't facepalm themselves watching your video. Idk how many times I've facepalmed myself listening to this. Ugh!!!!
I played and replayed all games over the year but i still do not know what is going on
😂 okay so you're in my boat with me? The sinking one?
I love your term "The Faceless Men" and it would have fit perfectly into this series
You hit a lot nails on the head with the Metal Gear franchise. So much lore depth honestly 😅 also would love to see you dissect Hideo Kojima's recent game Death Stranding. Which is equally as cryptic as per Hideo usual.
Oh man, I'M GLAD! I was so nervous when MGS 5 trailer pulled through, I was at a loss for words and ideas. But glad I ... kinda nailed it 😂 Thanks for watching and to be honest, I own Death Stranding but I never played it myself. I will add this to my list! Look out soon 🤗
Bro you lying like crazy...... simp no offense, but she missed in everything, mgs 1 no clue, mgs 2 no clue, mgs3 no clue..... but I called you a simp cause I'm a fan boy of MG and she missed every time, but you say she hit the nail on the head, what your head? Lol again no offense but come on what you wrote was like if you hated MGS
Let me break it down really simply; A woman named Boss trained a soldier named Big Boss aka Jack aka Naked Snake, who was cloned at least 4 times and they at various points were given the codenames; Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, Venom Snake and Solidus Snake (the former's name is David). Solid Snake is the main series protagonist, except in the Metal Gear Solid 2 (in which Raiden is the star who is also named Jack), as well as MGS3, MGS5 and Metal Gear Portable Ops, Peace Walker and Metal Gear Ground Zeroes (in which either Big Boss or Venom Snake star). The series follows the conflict between Big Boss and Major Tom aka Zero aka Cipher (aka the unit leader of special forces Fox of which Big Boss was a part) as they try to interpret and honour the legacy of their mentor Boss. At some point Big Boss starts a militia and threatens the world with Nuclear destruction using a Metal Gear (a bipedal tank that can launch Nuclear Weapons), his clone Solid Snake kills him (or at least he thinks he did back in the original Metal Gear game). Major Tom is still alive but creates a giant AI system that gets out of hand and attempts to take over and regulate the world (including armed conflict). Then there's a spin off game about Raiden fighting Senator Armstrong (some decades after Raiden killed the President of the United States who turned out to be Solidus)... who has supercharged himself with nanomachines... Got it?... No? Don't worry the plot was written by a mad man.
Gah spoilers!!! It's ok this will be my cheat sheet in the next few MGS videos 😂 tysm and thanks for watching Vinci! xo
As a extremely long-time, hardcore MGS fan... this hurt so much to watch but was also so fun. Subbed. i would love to see some playthroughs from you.
LOL! Thanks Ocelot i tried my best 😂 my plots prob destroyed the true games. But thanks for subbing and hope to play them soon! (esp Revengeance) 😏
@@babyoli actually, you were quite close to the mark on some parts. I was really quite impressed on what you could pull just from the trailers.
@@Poshnoodles Heheh Thanks Noods. If only they were in chronological order.....
Around 13:35 you called that special missions but they are called VR Training Missions which gets referenced to in later MGS2
Ah yeah, if only I watched it in order... I may have gotten it. "maybe" hahaha thanks for watching England! 🤗
Special Missions was the European name for it tho
Metal Gear Solid is my childhood and shaped me as an adult.
You should make some playthrough of some metal gear games. I will love to watch it.
Oh stay tuned! Videos are currently in the making 😬
your "humanoid" aka Gray Fox is practically part of the entire series. you just overlooked him
Ill try to sum it up, the guy shown in the first game is called solid snake, he was a clone of snake (aka big boss aka jack, the guy with one arm) now jack, used to work for usa, but then he was hired to kill boss (the woman in white in mgs 3) he did it, and that's how he got the name big boss, because he killed boss, but he couldn't cope with the fact that he just killed the dearest person to him for a bunch of old men, so he turned his back on america, but nah, they wont let him go just like that, they cloned two versions of him, liquid snake and solid snake, now these two didn't have the same life, liquid went through a lot and ended being the opposite of solid snake, but anyways, the story is amazing, metal gear has it all.
Man Metal Gear is my favorite franchise ever. The story goes places and the games over a long period of time. It was super fun to see someone with no experience with the franchise just watching the trailers and trying to figure out what’s going on.
There’s really two main characters in Metal Gear - Solid Snake and Big Boss. You actually play as Big Boss in MGS 3, Portable Ops, and Peace Walker. Snake is the playable character in MGS 1, part of MGS 2, and MGS 4.
Venom snake is one of the main characters tho. Can't leave out raiden too
@@azzxy9800 MGS5 and Metal Gear Rising are both dope so you get my support
The Red Band Trailer for MGSV (it's like 9 minutes long) is one of the best trailers ever

I did not know that there was a Metal Gear Rising trailer that had a Depeche Mode song in it. That was dope.
It's always a delight see someone new get lost into this massive and beloved rabbit hole that it's MGS. I'll guess it's time for me to play the franchise all over again xD
I'm glad I was able to reignite the flame inside of you hahaha. Thanks for watching Matias! xo
The fact that when you nail something, even if it's not for the right reason, is pretty impressive.
If playing it isn't your cup of tea; watching is always an option.
whoo hoo! I'm glad I met your expectations haha I did my best! I heard that I put the videos in the incorrect order but... hey better luck next time I guess lol. Yeah I think I'll play Revegeance and give the other's a watch through (summary video) OR maybe I'll watch all of the game cinematics 😉 Thanks for watching jamauln!! xo
The “Man On Fire” was the first name you guessed correctly at 1:12:50! Yes his name in this game is quite literal to his appearance lol

ok i'm near the end, you have more to understand. i'd love a playthrough of each game.
I'm sure I have MUCH more to understand and unpack. I have some future videos to dig a bit deeper into the series, seems like I scratched the surface. Thanks for watching 140550! 🤗 (is that code for something?)
@@babyoli I’m sorry this took a long time to reply, it was a random handle I made up; and it’s not code. I may change at some point with extra numbers or come up with a new random name. Regardless it was when I was a youngling that i chose to name it that.
@@babyoli also I still hope you’ll play the games, and if you do don’t play survive. That’s not cannon, and is a horrible game.

I hope this helps! :D
My dyslexia read your channel name as “Baby_Oil” 😂
Also you should watch trailers of “Death Stranding” if you haven’t already. It’s made by the same creator of the MGS series. If you were lost from these trailers, Death Stranding takes it to a whole new level lol
😂 DW you're not alone. It's kinda my sideline nickname hahaha.
Wonder what I'll make of that damn baby in the case. But I know a bit of the game, I do own it but it's not mine (someone else's) but it's on my list to review!!! Thanks for watching Brandon hehe 🤗
Great video!! I enjoyed watching you guessing what the game is all about. Very original. And you were pretty close with a lot of things. But mgs has a complex and deep storyline so it’s impossible to guess it just by watching the trailers. I hope you will play the games yourself one day!
That was a kool way to introduce yourself to the series. Iv been into this series since 1999 when I was 9…now I’m 33. Great reaction!
Whoo thanks Michael. So your back hurts just like mine 😂 #oldpeopleproblems but jealous you got the deep lore in this game.
I was 16 when MGS released and I wasn't interested in it until I played the demo of the 1st game. I beat the demo like 20 times before getting the full game.
@Gamesta100 its one of those series you grow with over time didnt know they remade the old ones too!
@@babyoli MGS1 the first trailer you saw. Is actually the original one. And later got remade as “The Twin Snakes” which you saw
@@metalmanny666 ohhh gotcha!!
Funny how the more you go on, the more you get it wrong. Though it doesn't help you didn't know the actual chronology firsthand
I LOLed when she called the metal gear a Gundam
*evangelion/gundam 😂
One of my all time favourite things is to see people experience MGS for the first time. There's nothing that comes close to replicating the sheer fever dream insanity of these games
Snake from msg3 was not solid snake that was a guy called naked snake and he did kill the boss and he was promoted to Big boss he is also the same snake in Msg5 but soild snake is a clone of big boss but one of the side effects is faster aging so Soild Snake from mgs4 is actually I think 5 years older than mgs1 or mgs2
oh... that explains why they vary in age in some of the trailers. Makes sense. but Boss + Big Boss = 2 different people???
@@babyoli The boss is the blonde woman with the white suit who trained big boss and big boss or naked snake is the "father" of Soild and liquid snake
@@babyoli Adding onto what @buhlemanwane4467 said, the Snake in MGS5 is also Big Boss. There are actually four games featuring him set in the Cold War (MGS3, Portable Ops, Peace Walker, and MGS5). Or I guess five if you treat Ground Zeroes separate from The Phantom Pain. I suppose you could think of Big Boss as kind of like the Anakin/Darth Vader of the series. A foil for his clone son in the games set during the 21st Century, whose story sees him go from hero to villain. Though there is a pretty big twist about him in The Phantom Pain's endgame...
Also The Twin Snakes is actually a Gamecube remake of MGS1. You might have noticed it had a similar snowy setting as the first trailer.
@@SolidusInc and solidus
@@2551987ezio Snake is 33 in MGS1. He was born in 1972, MGS1 is set in 2005.
It's best to play the games than to watch the trailers to avoid spoilers, the best experience is to expect the unexpected. It's like movie trailers and teasers. I have played all of Hideo's game and it's a masterpiece. Please play them.
it's... TOO LATE!! haha spent 3 or 4 hours watching these trailers 😅 but i will dive deeper in the series in future videos, have a few up and coming ones on MGS.
@@babyoli How many video game trailers have you watch without playing the game first? Most vids on the channel are all about reactions and no gameplay and there are no videos on the twitch channel.
@@ethanlarson9029 Thank you, that's what I said.
@@ethanlarson9029 Wait, does she actually play games? Look, I don't think so. There some channels for reactions of videogames trailers only. I thought that was the case
@@zhulu1 a reaction to video games only to then call themselves a gamer is out of line i agree
The MetalGearSolid series is my favorite gaming franchise! And as a fan I loved your reactions and your analysis as a non Metalgear fan👍😁 and yes I admit the series story as a whole can be a convoluted but damn the gameplay, the themes, characters. How each game feels different than the last without losing its identity. Such a great series IMO. Glad I got to see this in my recommended!
Aw thanks Liberty! Yes I can clearly tell from your username you are a die hard fan so I'm glad I was able to satisfy you 😎 heheheh thanks for watching! xo
You got the basics right - with is a great feat! As for the real plots, twists and social commentary you'll need to understand the ambiguous characters and numerous themes of the game.
lmao the "real plots" 😪 Yeah i think understanding the character relations are pretty key. since I believe Snake is genetically modified... i bet a bunch of them are! I think I read in another comment they all are created from the "Big Boss" or something. But glad I scored high on this one 😂 woo hoo!! Thanks for watching Be Mindful!
@@babyoli On the surface, the basics are the genetically modified people that were made from dna - which is only used as a plot device. With real plots I mean the profound meanings behind the social commentary. If you're interested, this explains why MGS2 is the most profound game in history: th-cam.com/video/jIYBod0ge3Y/w-d-xo.html
All the key players have their agenda's and motivation that doesn't necessarily stem from 'super bad guy', making the ambiguous nature of the game question your own motivation and role. In that sense its not your typical story. You might even say that you, the player, is a bad guy.
Its a bit much to deep into since it's a complex franchise to understand, but you did a good job in picking up a few things from the trailers.
@@bemindful924 Thanks Mindful!
@@babyoli Yeah, please consider reacting to that video recommendation! You won't regret it! And perhaps you should watch videos explaning of each of the main games! It's okay if you don't play them, but the explanations will *definitely* delight you!
It is complete madness to try to deduce the plot of this saga from the trailers. You have earned my eternal fear.
achievement unlocked 😏 I'll take what I can get
@@babyoli 3 and 5 are prequels with completely different characters and protagonists. It took me ten years of playthroughs to fully understand every single detail. I've memorized every aspect of these games. This is the most intricate story ever told. If you overlook one thing, you'll have dozens of questions. The fact that you picked up on this much is really impressive.
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes is a remake of Metal Gear Solid 1.
Let me see if I can help you a bit to understand a bit on how the MAIN Metal Gear games are ordered. Keep in mind that the story order is not the same as the release order.
The series has two overarching arcs. The Big Boss arc and the Solid Snake arc. Each arc takes place over a number of years and the Big Boss arc influences the events of the Solid Snake arc.
Big Boss arc:
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Solid Snake arc:
Metal Gear
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
Metal Gear Solid/Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a spinoff starring a different character named Raiden, who was introduced in MGS2 as a second playable character and who later made an important appearance in MGS4. The gameplay is clearly very different and focused on aggressive combat, but it can also be played using some familiar stealth elements.
OO thanks Nyarlatheotep! I think i get the difference between Big Boss and Solid Snake... I think hahaha. But let's zoom in on Raiden cause he gives me Nier Automata vibes and I really like it. I think I missed when Raiden was introduced in the earlier trailers I didn't notice it was a different "person" for lack of a better term. Thanks for watching !!! 🤗
@@babyolinot surprising you got that from Rising haha, after all both were developed by Platinum games
MGS3 is a prequel. The (Naked) Snake you see in MGS3 and the last 2 games is the "father" of the (Solid) Snake from the 1, 2, and 4. The young guy with a revolver, named Ocelot, is young in MGS3 and older in the other games. Might I also suggest that you listen to the theme song of Snake Eater as it's one of the best songs to ever be made for a video game.
This was awesome, you have found yourself one hell of a niche!
Also, minus all the twists and turns in the story, you pretty well nailed this.
Whoo hoo! Thanks jacob, yes I take my expert guesses very seriously lol 🤗 I give myself an A++ on this one. Thanks for watching xo
You should really play them or even make walkthrough videos, but in this order:
1964 -Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
1974 - Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
1975 - Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
1984 - Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
1995 - Metal Gear
1999 - Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
2005 - Metal Gear Solid
2007/09 - Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
2014 - Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
2018 - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
PS: If you dont find Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake fun to play, because they are ancient game you could go through their story only, but I recommend them. :)
Another thing, all of these games can be played on PS3, MGS4 is the only PS3 exclusive here, the other ones you can play on XB360, XB One or Series X/S or you can even emulate them on PC, if you have good enough PC you can even emulate the PS3 version of MGS4.
Native PC supported titles are MGSV and Revengeance.
horrible take, release order is the best
I can tell u without even watching... ur not gonna get anything from the trailers other than a gist of what the game play is.
Tell u what I'll just say MGS1's main thing...was that it was fully voiced and done pretty well. With a pretty unique story. And as the numbers increased the story pretty much just copied the first over and over again but with better graphics combined with a retroactive, convoluted main plot. And then on the last one.. David Hayter got shafted for a movie star, who basically just phoned in most of his lines. In that instead of him acting off of someone...majority of Kiefer Sutherland's VA is in cassette tape, form.
7:22 better question if you ever get to MGS5 is how many times does Hideo Kojima have to inject his name into that game... (while pretty much giving Konami the middle finger)
Is that his thing to plug in an Easter Egg? I think another comment said that he was also in the helicopter in MGSV. And cool fat about David Hayter... had NO idea haha that's really neat. Thanks for watching and sharing Rene! xo
to grossly oversimplify: MGS1 = Die Hard/The Rock/any tom clancy novel with some elements taken from sci fi stuff like Ghost in the Shell in aesthetics. MGS2 = MGS2 similar aesthetics to MGS1 but instead of Ghost in the Shell, Kojima probably watched Serial Experiments Lain this time. MGS3 = Sean Connery/Roger Moore era james bond + Rambo + Xmen in the jungle, after the last two mostly urban environment games this one is a big change of pace, also IMO the strongest and most well paced narrative and gameplay wise of the entire series. MG Peace Walker is essentially the Sequal to 3 and leans into the CIA doing dodgy things in the 70s, think Call of Duty Cold War/Black Ops type stuff, MGS4 = Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 with extra melodrama, its more like a movie then the rest and is the full conclusion to the series (atleast for snake). MGS5 = Rambo 3 in Afghanistan mixed with the book 1984 (which it also takes place in). MG Rising is Raidens spinoff set after MGS4 and probably the biggest meme game, highly entertaining because it doesnt take itself too seriously.
I read this in the morning with my coffee and melted over the brainpower required for this comment response 😂 It's funny that I know everything you speak of (even lain, owned that dvd as a kid, messed up tbh) except Tom Clancy because yeah never got into that. but i appreciate the amount of detail in your comparisons ahhah. Thanks for watching Al!!! xo
Not everyone watching Serial Experiments Lain.
MGS1 came out in 1998 not the 2000's.
Derp! i messed up 😅 Thanks for fact checking me Donald! u a real one!
metal gear is so funny to look at from the outside because everyone thinks "oh its a serious military game where you go on missions and stuff" if you've never played them and then you get to the fire unicorn and bee people
lmao the fire unicorn was..... i still need an explanation 😂
Fun video! You should do another with the other MGSV trailers to give you a little bit more context/feel for that installment since it seemed like that one confused you the most. Great trailers and best overall gameplay for the entire series.
Yeah thats a great Idea Marlins! Im going to be digging deeper into the series so stay tuned 🙂
@@babyoli Awesome, looking forward to it! Dropped a sub and will check out your other content for now :)

snake blew up the whole building on that 1st one, I never knew the trailer was so ridiculous 🤣
Thinking Raiden's character model was a woman was hilarious.

For clarification:
MGS: VR Missions is a standalone game that ties into the story of MGS2.
MGS2: Substance is a Director's Cut with lots of bonus content.
MGS3: Subsistence is a Director's Cut with a new camera system, bonus content, Metal Gear Online and the inclusion of the two first Metal Gear games from the NES.
MGS: The Twin Snakes is a remake of the first game on the GameCube.
Okay the names Subsistence etc. would confuse me when I was putting together the video compilation. Now I know its a remake of the originals
Metal gear is a series that even though the last game was nearly a decade ago, people are still writing video essays about its more subtle themes and characters
😂
Nice reaction! I just bought a PS3 to play the MGS4 and MGSV, you should definitely play the games they are really fun and well put together, although the story is kind of confusing at times it just makes you get mind blown at the end of each game
Oh damn! That's an OG move, you literally couldve played a download/PSN copy but you went full throttle. Much respects.
I'll probably watch some videos on it, I don't know if it tickles my fancy 😂 my lack of ways to say no. Revegeance yes! Thanks for watching Frank 🤗
@@babyoli If they're not your cup of tea then you should watch the cinematics of each game, it's like watching sci-fi action movies
Yeah, no shot at getting anything from the trailers. Kojima is a notorious hater of trailers that spoile the plot of movies, and as a result trailers for his games are always filled with deception and misdirects so the only way to know is to play the games. It's part of his charm tho, big troll but his story telling abilities and campy humor back it up.
lmao yeah especially MSG V was a total stumper. I actually had to watch it twice and took notes to see if I could come up with anything for that one. BUT comments told me I missed something and put them out of order. derp. anyways haha thanks for watching Manny! 🤗
Heh as deceit filled as the early trailers are Kojima had really become a grumpy old man about it for V, so no surprise. Tho other issues probably bled into that reasoning. For what its worth genuinely appreciate the effort to try and decipher this mess.
Metal Gear Solid VR Missions is mostly practice to help you get better scores in Metal Gear Solid and it's mentioned a lot in the 2nd game as a somewhat plot point
Mgs 2 substance and Mgs3 subsistence are basically “definitive” versions of each respective game. Twin snakes is a “remake” of Mgs 1.
I laughed my ass off at the mgs2 substance trailer reaction because it’s showing all the new side content, which out of context must be extremely jarring to see Godzilla sized enemies and snake on a skateboard 😂😂😂
You got a surprising amount right given the convoluted nature of the franchise to even the people that played em.
Mgs 1 (2005), kinda Mgs 2 (2007-2009) and Mgs 4 (2014) are all solid snake.
Mgs 3 (1964), mgsv ground zeroes (1974)and kinda mgs v (1984) are big boss aka naked snake.
Btw the person you keep thinking is the boss is a dude called major raikov 😂😂
OH my god hahah I thought MGS2 was hella confusing. I was wondering how all of the dialogue fits together 😂 Yeah those friggen different clones really destroyed my mind. No way I coulda figured that out. Major Raikov... noted. Thanks for watching J! xo
First time watching this channel, and honestly you did a great job.
Aw thank you Eddie! 🤗 I'll take that as an A+++ hahaha
Man this gave me flashbacks of my playthroughs. Very nice video! Im impressed hiw you got around 50% of the story. But it'll be so much better if you play all th games. I'd definitely watch it. Just subscribed!
Hey Jay!!! Whoo hoo thank you! 🤗 wow 50% was more than I anticipated. I have some more MGS content coming up so keep an eye out.
@@babyoli roughly around 50%. You sonehow got some major plit twists but missed out some details. I'll give you a B grade for that.
Looking forward for more MGS content. But seriously, play it! You'll realize why it's called a masterpiece.
Wait, Olz!? You've never played any of them??? xD Guessing this convoluted storyline without any insight is hilarious. Saving this for tomorrow with some popcorn.
i claim it was a "dudes" game haha thanks Kelz!!! Lemme know if you like it! ❤
You may want to find plot overview sort of video's for each game as the trailers are really confusing without context.
Phantom pain, storywise was a really great send off and helped piece the timeline of boss and big boss (solid snake) together, even with the cut content.
You could almost say the trailers provide content without providing context.....>
@@TheDeadliestSynn I'd say it's just enough context to get the gist, that only makes sense if you've played the games ha
Metal Gear Solid 2 is still the hardest game to predict. The themes are also still relevant to this day.
I think i heard the themes are corrupt politicians? If yes then... yes it is unfortunately relevant lol
@@babyoli not just that, the game kinda predict about the nature of social media today. With the example of how society will drown themself in trivial content of social media, how the higher ups control context on the internet, fake news, forced political correctness and value system, echo chambers of information. It is kinda scary a game that come out in 2001 can predict this accurately.
You should defintely play these games and make videos commenting on the plot after each one.
It would be great to see your reactions to the actual plot.
You got a lot correct, pretty much everything it was possible to get from the trailers. But that's like 5% of what's really there.
If you're wondering what the MGS game timeline is in chronological order: MGS3 (1964), MGS Peace Walker (1974), MGSV Ground Zeroes (1975), MGSV The Phantom Pain (1984), Metal Gear (1995), Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (1999), MGS1 (2005), MGS2 (2007-2009), & MGS4 (2014). Also the MGO (Metal Gear Online) & VR (VIrtual Reality), have nothing to do with the main storyline. There different versions of the "Snake Family". Solid Snake (David), featured in MG2 SS, MGS1, MGS2, & MGS4. Liquid Snake (Eli) featured in MGSV TPP, MGS1, & MGS2 (somewhat). Solidus Snake(George Sears) "Clone of Big Boss", MGS2, & the original & father of Solid, Liquid: Naked Snake "Big Boss" (John).
Thank you for watching those trailers! Half the fun was trying to figure out what is going on with the trailers prior to release. Always a blast!
Legend goes fans are still trying to figure out what's going on til this day 😅 Thanks for watching Culverp!! xo
Kind of what I thought before I played the games. Did you play them after this? They’re worth playing for the story alone, I’d know, I suck at them.
welp! good job on the reaction and my condolences on your loss. i have been playing religiously since 1998's GLORIOUS release of both the game and the proverbial PSX a MUCH NEEDED improvement from my sega boogerman and robocop vs terminator......games(?). i would highly recommend diving in as its never too late HOWEVER i can appreciate a good cup of tea...my condolences. RIP snake and family
"The 2000s, when Metal Gear Solid was released..."
Oh, the pain!! 😭
Interesting idea for a video! You should do this for the first 4 Silent Hill games too.
Yeah I have Silent Hill on my list!!! I rented Silent Hill from Blockbuster back in the day... probably ps1 lol and PT (if that counts). But will give my _expert opinion_ on that 😂 Thanks for watching Oscar! 🤗
That was a terrible trailer for Solid 2 HD I didnt even know it existed. Should have watched the E3 2000 reveal trailer of the original Sons of Liberty.
Was looking for this comment.
Oh sweet summer child.
Not bad, considering how cryptic the trailers are you were pretty close. You managed to summarize in simple terms a very convoluted plot
heheh thanks Alex. I think MGS2 was challenging given the.. lack of good trailer I picked lol. But I'll be diving more into this one!!!
This was so much fun to watch. You even managed to confuse me. Luckily I'm playing through them all again because I never finished 5. Subbed!
I think you should watch the story though. Characters are great and there are some very emotional and significant moments along the eay.
Aw thanks for the support, Vidar!!! ❤ Much appreciated. I'll probably watch some game walkthroughs or a cinematic review... new video to come 🤗
@@babyoli Oh can't wait. I always enjoy when people find new stuff to dive into. MGS is quite lore heavy and there are hours of cinematics. But you can find great explanatory videos that might take less time if you just want to get the gist of it.
She low key guessed mgs1 pretty much perfectly
Watching the Boss, just reminds me of how amazing a character she was. She was the OG Itachi.
I'm definitely keen on learning more about her she seems badass! In future videos i'll definitely dedicate a portion this boss lady 😎 hehe thanks for watching Ani! 🤗
Sooo its been a while, and I hope you’re doing well!! I looked at a few comments, and saw you replied that your starting the series!!! How are you enjoying it? Do you understand more of the story? Also will we have a playthrough!?
aww hello!!!
@@babyoli are you playing the first mgs, yay!!! I’m so excited 🤩, I can’t wait!!
@@babyoliif you’re wondering, this is the same person with the numbers😂. Just a different account, but I’m excited on your play though!! I hope o get a notification when it’s out!!
To put in simple terms: Metal Gear Solid’s story focuses on the politics of war and how in this world war is changing due to the technological advancement of tech and weaponry-specifically the Metal Gears, which, as you guessed, are mobile nuke launchers.
The other half of the story focuses on the secret elite agency known as Fox Hound: specifically on “Snake” who’s life and destiny where shaped for him since before even his birth, and him trying to do what’s right as the perfect soldier while contemplating the job over his own needs.
metal gear solid twin snakes is a remake of metal gear solid 1
The 80s version??
Oli - you got a few points correct. However, Metal Gear Peace Walker comes in after MGS 3 and is an integral part of the story. That is where you are introduced to Paz, and why you should care about her. There is basically two stories going on- the one that follows Big Boss, as you stated he kills the Boss to earn the title. And because that mission came from the US, he left them behind. Fox was the original organization which became Fox Hound, which he helped organize. As far as Ground Zeros, yes he goes to rescue her because she knows the location of their base. Big Boss has gone his own way, and doing his own missions. She does end up dead after giving up the info under torture, they ambush Big Boss and company and he ends up in a coma. That is where the Phantom Pain picks up. You were correct about X-O-F being a splinter group.
As far as your reaction- you picked the wrong Phantom Pain trailer, that wasn't the first one, which is why its so hard to understand. The first one gives way more clarity. I totally understand why its not something you would want to play. Its tailored toward guys like most games are.
The one you liked was with Raiden, who is a character introduced in MGS 2. And some fans hated him, because it was a bait and switch of characters. But now, like all things he has grown on the audience. And yes, he has become a bit of a badass, especially when he becomes a cyborg ninja. The game you like is Metal Gear Revengeance. And yeah, its fun to play, and got some really cool scenes. But like I said, there are two main characters, Big Boss who is the original Snake, and Solid Snake, who is his "son" so to speak, or cloned from his genetics to be the ultimate soldier. So yeah, not bad.
Whoo hoo thanks Leon. If you have the link to the first MGSV trailer, paste it! I would be interested to understand this burning man integration lol still confused about that. No answers 😅
I think what I've gathered from the comments that most people like Raiden. I'm probably going to check that one out because... I've kinda alluded it gives me Nier Automata feels. I am kinda into shooters now not too much. Probably just played lots of Counter Strike and Destiny haha but yeah more into RPGs think that's why Revengeance seems up my alley.
Thanks for your input! And thanks for watching 🤗
@@babyoli Here's a couple trailers below to MGS5 that give better context. That game was hit and miss for me. Because when it was released, the story wasn't a finished product, and that is why some things like the "Man on fire" are not well explained. But those of us who have played the series a while know that its Volgin from MGS3 who got struck by a bolt of lightning. But the gag about the Man on fire, is that you can take him out with a water gun. No, I'm not kidding. There's a mission where you have to take him out to proceed.
At the beginning of the game, its explained that your character after coming out of the coma, has shrapnel in his skull, and it cannot be removed because he would die. The doctor further explains that he will have hallucinations because of the metal pressing on his brain. Hence why some scenes just make no sense whatsoever. What is real funny, is you can beat up your teammates, and they will thank you for the "training". And no, you don't hold a gun and a knife at the same time in the field. That is not CQC. That's being an idiot.
I'm not a big shooter gamer either. I don't need to play Call of Duty, I actually lived through two years in the sandbox, (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Iraq) And that was enough for me, nothing beats American soil. I'm intrigued where they take the FF7 Remake part 2. I really enjoy the FF series in general. That is more my style. Anyhow, glad to have found your channel and look forward to other reactions.

Why did i read your name as "baby oil"😢 amazing video by the way i love all Kojima games!
hahahaha it's okay it's a common mistake 😂 some friends call me baby oil now. it's a norm. And thanks for watching Noctis Sama (Noctis from FF15?) 🤗
These weren''t ALL the MGS Cinematic trailers. Both MGS4 and MGSV especially have so many more trailers. You should try to find them all and react to them. Maybe if you ever play MGS1-3 first maybe as a warm up to them beforehand.
Yes boss, I'll hunt them down. Ugh i made this same error with some previous videos... i gotta make sure I have someone proof-watch my work before I review all trailers lol. Anyways thanks for the feedback, will check it out. And thanks for watching King! 🤗
@@babyoli Since you took the time to reply and were interested I took the time to help a fellow new fan out. Plus I love MGS so, anything to help get people interested and curious. Here's all I could find. Some of these are low quality but most should be fine. You can probably cut these up into like 3 videos if you wanted to.

You should definitely consider playing these games. Quite the treat honestly, great story and the later entries have fantastic gameplay and am personally torn between 4 and 5
4 was nanomachines right? I will be digging deeper into this series for sure! more videos to come soon 🤗 Thanks for watching Frozn!
@@babyoli of course always love it when people check out this series but yes 4 is when everything is explained with nanomachines
Oh Tales of Arise is amazing!! Was one of my favorite games of that year and so touching
O M G yeah it's amazing. It reinvigorated my love for Tales games all over again! I love me a good romance game 😂 and voice acting is on point. #teamRinwell
@@babyoli mmhmm. And IMO it's pretty topical and deep. Which I don't mind. Really kind of hits on the points of racism and prejudice.. and just kind of destroys those concepts. Deserved more love for when it came out (even with it being the highest rated and best selling Tales game since Symphonia)
She really went with random story cutscenes from one of the most complicated stories is video game history lol
but did i get it? 👀
@baby_oli you did better than anyone could have expected lol. Ppl can play through the games multiple times and still only understand 70%
you see this game very superficially
I was hoping to see Peace Walker somewhere. It's my personal favorite after Snake Eater.
apologies Nabisco i totally failed at sourcing videos 😅 i'll have to watch it separately
