@@Alexander-nr5tt Hence why he is saying Solidus is right. As it often is with these things, it's more complicated than that, but thats sort of the point. It was shades of black with the evils in that game. Solidus was only the second darkest shade, The Patriots were the darkest of them all.
@@knightshousegames solidus being coded as a libertarian is so interesting to me because it really lines up with the story it tells of him being against the right things but creating solutions to combat those issues in the most villainous ways imaginable.
The party (and by extension, the Patriots AI) is a phenomenal example of a superstructure caught in a feedback loop. Whatever its initial purpose, the victories of its current devices of control reinforce its future ones, refines its methods, purifies and amplifies its purpose to the point of single-minded, self-serving purposelessness. Control for conrol's sake. The means justify the means. In many ways Big Boss' vision for Outer Heaven seems to follow a similar path. If Outer Heaven succeeded in recruiting every soldier in the world, it would undoubtedly end up fighting itself in never-ending battles of increasing purposelessness and fabricated factionalization, very much like we see in MGS4.
Nice. I would like to add that I always thought of Zero and Big Boss has men who didn't strive to find their own path. Both of them strived to realize the Boss's vision of a unified world, and both missed the mark, tearing down the world and nearly destroying it. It wasn't until Solid Snake came by and saved it by fighting for what he himself believed in. "We're not tools of the government or anyone else, fighting was the only thing I was good at, but at least I always fought for what I believed in."- Grey Fox last words
@@GYMJAX i get the feeling that sooo many players just plow through games, ignore the intricacies and complain about the game being "shallow", because not everything is said straight at them 😞
I'd like to see a piece on the easter eggs & comic relief stuff from throughout Kojima's works; things like Jonny from the Metal Gear series, the frogs & monkey side game in mgs3, etc. Things like Otacon's responses to some of the pictures you can take with the digital camera in the first part of mgs2 are gold. I feel like these lighthearted parts make Kojima's works much better. Hopefully other people would like to see this stuff too
Worth noting that David Bowie wanted his album "Diamond Dogs" to tell the story of 1984 but couldn't get the rights. Likewise Kojima wanted the title track from Bowie's "Diamond Dogs" to be the opening track of MgsV. Bowie was a prolific writer and one of Kojima's biggest influences that appear throughout his work. I highly recommend the podcast Death is Just Around the Corner. The host goes pretty deep into Bowie and post-ww2 events/literature. Kojima is never mentioned but it will definitely make you appreciate his work even more.
@@charleyzimmer2505🤔 he has a patreon so I'm not sure how to link episodes but I think he starts with a look at Bowie's last album Blackstar. Not sure when exactly he touches on Diamond Dogs bc there's multiple Bowie episodes but tbh all his eps are worth a listen and def relevant. I'm kinda convinced Blackstar was at least a huge visual inspiration for Death Stranding.
We really don't deserve this quality and quantity either. You'll spoil us rotten Mr Sound. Edit: The first 10 minutes also serve as an excellent summary of Orwell's 1984. One of the best I've ever come across.
I've read 1984 at least three times and followed many a discussion about it, yet this video manages give me new insights, especially about the subconscious significance of Winston's dreams and the rats in Room 101.
In MGSV does Miller and Ocelots voices, besides sounding similar, do they specifically talk differently? Ocelot always talks about REAL life gadgets and events. While Miller seems to only talk about FICTION that is real only within the game. Has anyone noticed this or am i tripping?
Hell, just remember all those soldiers you fultoned from the combat, especially Russian ones. Lots of them, loyal to their people and country, and with a loving family and supportive friends back home. One day, suddenly, they get knocked out and promptly delivered by helicopter into a secret offshore platform somewhere in Africa. There, in that base (presumably Room 101 for extra points), _something_ is done to them so that in a matter of days or even _hours_ they give up completely about their entire former life and pledge their soul and existence to a charismatic yet seldom seen military leader, whom he loves like a father (as he loves the leader's other followers like brothers), enthusiastically lets him beat them and would gladly die for him.
You’re not only talking about just a game. This is reality. This is what we’re coming to. We’re always in a constant state of conflict Terms that had different definitions in the past are being redefined Corporations enslave people but because of a wage, people believe they are free All the while, most remain ignorant to it all....and are rewarded for their ignorance.
Just recently found your channel and wanted to say you make fantastic content! Keep up the good work! I’m not sure if you’ve covered it but I do think the use of mirrors in MGSV is interesting in the sense you see a lot of the things in cutscenes first reflected in some other object.
I've been binge watching your videos for the last week, almost the same time I started playing it again for like the 10th time. It's making me enjoy it even more. Now I can't help but stop and listen to the NPC conversations. 😂 Awesome content! Hope we get more of it!
19:28 I never knew that the skill on the Outer Heaven symbol basically had a swastika on it. It isn't a perfect replica of one since it hasn't been tilted by 45 degrees, but damn. That hasn't aged well....
Finally, this was the video I have been waiting for. This also reminds me of the institutions and setting of TES3: Morrowind. This book was highly influential.
I’m watching this video now, and I’m seeing numerous examples of “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past” coming into existence. One party is trying to control the past, while the other is trying to control the present. And even now, I’ve probably misinterpreted 1984, like so many people.
Hey! Love this video! Looking forward to the rest of the series. I’ve explored this subject at pretty extreme length, and have a pretty thorough list of the literature Kojima has referenced throughout Metal Gear. I’d love to share some of that with you. One notable book referenced is a collection of short stories by Bruce Sterling and William Gibson called: Mirrorshades. Check it out if you haven’t, and keep up the great work.
Yo if I want to experience the game again but just for the story, how should I go about it? There are the obvious story related things like cutscenes, but what about cassette tape, in-game conversations between npcs... etc? How should I pace myself to make it as simple as possible to comprehend the story? The cassette tapes are so much that collecting a ton before listening to them makes them daunting. So, any tips on how to extract the most in the most simple of ways?
The tapes for the most part is unnecessary information tbh and not needed to understand the story. The game is more so a retelling of 1984 and a warning like 1984 was. Theres a silent war going on most people haven't noticed or can even understand. Kojima just wants to let us know that what we see on the world stage really is political theater and the ones who control the story don't like regular people like us lol. I recommend you replay it on pc with mods and just enjoy the game and venom snakes story.
@@youwaisef the video basically covers all bases about what 1984 is about, but you should read the book and see how similar our world is to one written about in 1948.
This leve of analysis is staggering. It takes deep comprehension of themes and topics to be able to unravel the complex story/ warning that Kojima and Orwell have written. A warning against mass political parties and war. Amazing analysis as always. Keep up the good work.

And a large part of the world/internet is an extension of America's culture.....
as far as I see it, our current reality is much more similar to the book Brave New world than it is to 1984.
