1:10 Big Boss isn't building the Outer Heaven from MG1. That's Venom's creation. He's building Zanzibar Land from MG2, the "True" Outer Heaven. An actual Military Nation, and something that would require a major distraction to build secretly. Venom's Outer Heaven is that distraction.
@@majorborngusfluunduch8694 Big Boss never built Zanzibar Land. Outer Heaven (MG1) is the full blown nation he's building during MGSV - a PMC military base surrounded by a No Man's Land that soldiers from all over the world can come to engage in war for the thrill of battle. Once built he hands it over to Venom, switching places as the public face of "Big Boss" and goes to the US to reassume control of FOXHOUND. With "Big Boss" dying and Outer Heaven's destruction, this forces the real Big Boss into semi-hiding, going back to the Middle East - eventually joining Zanzibar Land's mercenary military, leading a junta to overthrow its leadership and have it serve as the new "Outer Heaven" - the idea, not the place. -- Although, I remember the MGS4 Database claiming something along the lines of he himself establishing it specifically in Tselinoyarsk after MG1.
Thanks. I wanted to be sure I was using a whole variety of methods that the arsenal allowed. The initial version of that plan was going to be sneaking righ up the main straight of Shago Kallai, and planting a C4 on their back during that walk between the jeep and the meeting - not an easy one given the number of eyes on them.
This video makes me realise just how much effort it takes to complete missions non-lethally, and how easy the game can be when you can slaughter everyone you come across
Up until disgustingly recently, (the very end of the OTHER challenge run I alluded to), I'd been foolishly of the belief; "more kills = bigger points deduction". Not so. All that matters is; 1 kill = no "No Kills" Bonus and the rest that follow.
It would've been tough to implement more meaningful restrictions than through points. MGS3 had a genius way of making it, but it was pre-written, and there wasn't much wiggle room for alternative paths depending on your kill count. MGSV on the other hand is a game that offers so much freedom, it could have created plotholes and errors in the script if you went another way than intended. Kojima's team would've had to create a whole new storyline for no-killing, and seeing they were already on a short rope with Konami, it would've taken too long and too much money they didn't have. I'm sure there was another way to penalise killing or at least give slightly different results that were being thought of, but then the Konami-Kojima breakup happened and they had to settle for a simple point bonus.
This was one of my dad's favorite games before he passed this year. Seeing it randomly on my page drew me in like death to a battlefield. Thank you, even when you didn't expect this. It means so much
If I can entertain or inspire just one other person to try it themselves with any project, then it was worth it. This is above and beyond. Keep tough, keep going.
@@murakawa-san2279 It wasn't Konami's fault that millions of dollars were wasted by one man. Still baffles me "fans" like you are still this misinformed 9 years later. As if Kojima wasn't to blame for a lot of crap, let alone his behavior in general.
@@Herodotus888 Same. I mean, you heard the covered stories about the production of Death Stranding, right? You know what Kojima Productions staff said about the idea when Kojima tried to explain it?
Being a medic, mission 43 probably had to he the most traumatic thing for Venom Snake (besides the crash/coma) I really believe that's when Medic died and Big Boss took over. The cutscene in the bathroom may or may not have even happened since it's such a dream state with him walking back into OH. Born to save lives Forced to take them

Thank you. I was so nervous about showcasing that, because I knew there'd be a multi-minute break from narration, meaning the video diverts from its main point. But if it were any other less title-centric challenge run, on a less significant date, I would've just passed on letting the story/cutscenes play at all.

Long time fan of the series, played V more times than I can remember and I'm still seeing cutscenes that I never knew were out there 🤣 Great video. You can without a doubt see how skilled you are, with not only the way you go through all the missions like a breeze, but with the way you narrate the events that take place. It was a lot of fun seeing you slip past enemies and come up with tricks to get past the challenge, each being more intricate than the other and it's just amazing how many things you can learn, even if you're an old dog like me. Loved the video, and you have my utmost respect for an excellent playthrough and fantastic retelling. I'm genuinely shocked by your interpretation of the ending cutscene and I'm 100% staying for more content. Phenomenal quality, one deserving a multitude of long-time viewers. Be proud of yourself man, you did good :)
What I said about the ending, that's a ridiculously cut down version. I had to cut the full point I was trying to make for the sake of last minute render problems... so I may as well do it here as thanks for your support. Big Boss established "Outer Heaven" in PW's final post-credits convo. Given Venom was still with MSF in GZ and regarded as their best man second only to Big Boss, that would mean he's on-board with the idea - then to be given the task of being 1/2 of "Big Boss", the legend, how could he say no? But his destiny is already written, Venom punching the mirror is the moment he succumbs, no longer an Avatar we control and a fully realized double of the warlusting Big Boss of the MSX-era. As for Venom behind the mirror, that's us the player in the same position as Raiden at the end of MGS2... with the added bonus of the title of "Big Boss" under our belt; "Everything you felt, thought about during this mission is yours and what you decide to do with them is your choice... Choose your own legacy, it's for you to decide. It's up to you."
Got a sub for the thing about S rank+all objectives+no retries on that mission in Africa...that is SO DIFFICULT. Mad props. Also, that 600+ hours hours shows; for some reason, just never thought about using fultoning a big box as extraction. Genius.
@@themanofconstantsorrowelia1929 So the guy missing an arm with shrapnel in his skull at the age of 70 taking 4 rockets to the face couldn't take down snake but boss getting slammed by a can of deodorant goes over your head ?

A definite missed opportunity for this game is making the MG Boss characters like Shotmaker and Dirty Duck possible soldiers for you to find and recruit.
all this time, and I did NOT made the connection that the tx-55 and in a lesser way, the D, are metal gear made by just taking the walker gear, boosting it up to Zeke size, and having the difference in space being used to hold the nuke
I'm sure it's been pointed out in numerous videos, but I gotta say it here. Having the weapons in this game be ersatzed facsimiles of real guns in this game makes sense when you, Venom Snake, are an ersatzed facsimile of Big Boss.
Checking the Records screen since Mission Results only go up to 999 hours - it's actually just over 2000 hours. Even then, 83 days is quite sane for a 3296 day old save file. As for CV - if I ever went into Human Resources, I probably could given the amount of layers upon layers of staff shuffling I've done to boost their unit levels to unlock the Grade 11 stuff.
Not entirely convinced this was done without a mod lifting S rank restrictions. There's a LOT of stuff you're doing that just straight up breaks S ranks in vanilla. Cool video, but I don't know that I would present this as vanilla.
I'm playing on the Xbox One version, so modding is out the window for me. The only thing I do in the whole run that would impose an S Rank restrictions would be the Bombardment in Episode 31, but for whatever reason it doesn't apply on that mission.
@@thed3m0n0id9 Triggering Reflex Mode just means you don't get the No Reflex Bonus (& those that follow), you can still get the mission score over the par for S Rank without it.
@@ZakRas There's literally mods made specifically to fix the S rank restriction for using Reflex mode. Have never made an S rank using it myself when doing whole missions pure sneak and doing all the extras personally, so Idk personally. But hey, whatever works, dude. Tbh, watching this, I think I have misunderstood some of the S rank conditions over the years, expecting stricter requirements for Fox and the like based on prev games. So I may just be entirely f'kin wrong, bro xD Fox used to require no kills at all.
Absolutely, the ranking for each mission is tied solely to your score. Usually just doing a mission in it's quickest par time and No Retries or Combat Alerts can be enough to get it past the S Rank threshold.
Awesome video! You did some things, I thought were impossible in game and all of it looked cool! Enjoyed every bit of your playthrough (I wish I played games that way...) btw Is there any list of music you used in video?
@@ZakRas thanks! Well by “impossibilities” I meant things that I did not think about but seem logical. Like extraction on a container or a truck with fulton or the way you could complete missions without leaving helicopter. I am just a casual player and I am used to sort of “default” games that are predictable and confine you a lot in the ways you play them. I knew Kojima likes to give as much freedom to player as possible, but I never considered to what extent. I’ve seen some videos of stylish mission playthroughs, but at core it wasn’t really different from the same type of videos for other games (like Dishonored or Assassin’s creed). So I was and still am surprised of how well the game is thought out. Beautiful playthrough, I would say - borderline art. I wish there were more games like this one
Khaki Urban 2T. You unlock their development project as a reward from FOB Events - unfortunately, not the one that started today. They're good for wearing amongst Greenery, and I like it because they kinda resemble Rat PT 01's uniform from MGS4.
I was 50/50 on this for sometime. I arrived at Naked purely for the aesthetic, since all the attack dogs in MG are just normal Doberman Pinschers with no utility gear. I get where you're coming from though. Don't let me take on the idea of "Outer Heaven" stop you from putting your own spin on it if you ever want to try it yourself. I normally have a "Grade 6 limit rule" for this kind of thing, which here I flouted for Venom's Arm & the boss weapons.
Can't. There's so many bases with little to literally no security, and plenty of S++ Intel Staff. All I need is to get my Intel up 7 more levels and I'll be able to not only develop the last two single-player Grade 11 items I've got left, but I might be able to devlop the last of the FOB-Only stuff along with it.
@@windowlicker2902 It has its problems, the opening line had to be edited down from "...nine years ago, today" and the endings a complete disaster thanks to it causing the delay. Then again, this whole process was just practice for Voyevoda.

@@shortsmiddletonthat's true
I’d say yeah between d walker being a one machine army, and quiet being a pro sniper and dd can stun and kill
@@ZakRasCan DD beat Sahelanthropus?¿
I'm afraid it has been, 9 years 😢
Great editing man! Thanks or this
13:10 LIKE THE GOOD OL DAYS AFTER ####!
My favorite scotish guy after the one in wolfenstein
I thought he said "he carries on his legend, his memes" and I had to immediately rewind it
You heard right.
You literally wrote history about why the soviets left Afghanistan.
Me personally I never killed anyone always using the sleeping gun.
WU.S and CQC are a classic, but a reliable combo. Anesthetic sniper is a cool addition tho.
Cool little scottish accent, like
man i played this alweys non-lethal and its first time for me to see that end cutscene is indeed diferent if you did use force
Not entirely convinced this was done without a mod lifting S rank restrictions. There's a LOT of stuff you're doing that just straight up breaks S ranks in vanilla. Cool video, but I don't know that I would present this as vanilla.
I'm playing on the Xbox One version, so modding is out the window for me.
The only thing I do in the whole run that would impose an S Rank restrictions would be the Bombardment in Episode 31, but for whatever reason it doesn't apply on that mission.
@@ZakRas Reflex mode breaks S rank without mods and you show that *bunches*
@@thed3m0n0id9 Triggering Reflex Mode just means you don't get the No Reflex Bonus (& those that follow), you can still get the mission score over the par for S Rank without it.
@@ZakRas There's literally mods made specifically to fix the S rank restriction for using Reflex mode. Have never made an S rank using it myself when doing whole missions pure sneak and doing all the extras personally, so Idk personally. But hey, whatever works, dude.
Tbh, watching this, I think I have misunderstood some of the S rank conditions over the years, expecting stricter requirements for Fox and the like based on prev games. So I may just be entirely f'kin wrong, bro xD Fox used to require no kills at all.
Are you going to make me install again MGS:V??? HAHAHAHA
You mean you uninstalled it?!
well looks like all tis time im been playing the canon total stealth version of tis (basicly only the default items but upgraded a bit
Pretty good
wow thats impressive, you can even kill and get S? didnt know that
Absolutely, the ranking for each mission is tied solely to your score. Usually just doing a mission in it's quickest par time and No Retries or Combat Alerts can be enough to get it past the S Rank threshold.
Awesome video! You did some things, I thought were impossible in game and all of it looked cool! Enjoyed every bit of your playthrough (I wish I played games that way...)
btw Is there any list of music you used in video?
Added a BGM list to the description.
What were some of the "impossibles" that surprised you?
@@ZakRas thanks! Well by “impossibilities” I meant things that I did not think about but seem logical. Like extraction on a container or a truck with fulton or the way you could complete missions without leaving helicopter. I am just a casual player and I am used to sort of “default” games that are predictable and confine you a lot in the ways you play them. I knew Kojima likes to give as much freedom to player as possible, but I never considered to what extent. I’ve seen some videos of stylish mission playthroughs, but at core it wasn’t really different from the same type of videos for other games (like Dishonored or Assassin’s creed). So I was and still am surprised of how well the game is thought out. Beautiful playthrough, I would say - borderline art. I wish there were more games like this one
Which variation of the combat fatigues are being worn during the Code Talker mission? Can’t recall these dark torso and tan pants. They look awesome!
Khaki Urban 2T.
You unlock their development project as a reward from FOB Events - unfortunately, not the one that started today. They're good for wearing amongst Greenery, and I like it because they kinda resemble Rat PT 01's uniform from MGS4.
19:01 What challenge run was this?
One that's not out yet... that's foreshadowing.
th-cam.com/video/Wx_uCePKTUc/w-d-xo.html
Nine years ago? wtf…
Pretty good vid i have a playthrough on my channel im doing its just something i wanted to do
3:30 Naked D Dog can't actually attack though, only distract. Would not a knife/battle dress better match?
I was 50/50 on this for sometime. I arrived at Naked purely for the aesthetic, since all the attack dogs in MG are just normal Doberman Pinschers with no utility gear.
I get where you're coming from though. Don't let me take on the idea of "Outer Heaven" stop you from putting your own spin on it if you ever want to try it yourself. I normally have a "Grade 6 limit rule" for this kind of thing, which here I flouted for Venom's Arm & the boss weapons.
@@ZakRas I usually give D Dog black fur to make the sneak suit stand out less on him, and to be fair he is more useful for his nose than attacks
I’ve played through this game 3 times and never knew half the things in this vid you can hang on and extract on top of the crates???????
Indeed, even with the Fulton Wormholes.
👍🏽
What??? I don't know that you can go back to mother base with fulton extracted cargi
Now you know, and knowing's half the battle.
CQC only run in more fun.
Sahelanthropus could be a problem...
@@ZakRas just cqc him
Nice one, but don't worry about your accent too much.
Yeah you stay away from FOB 😂
Can't. There's so many bases with little to literally no security, and plenty of S++ Intel Staff. All I need is to get my Intel up 7 more levels and I'll be able to not only develop the last two single-player Grade 11 items I've got left, but I might be able to devlop the last of the FOB-Only stuff along with it.

Urr u fae Scotland?
@@TheJack2459 Aye.
@@ZakRas aww wit hahaha
the quality of this video deserves more recognition, more likes and subscribers are deserved
@@windowlicker2902 It has its problems, the opening line had to be edited down from "...nine years ago, today" and the endings a complete disaster thanks to it causing the delay.
Then again, this whole process was just practice for Voyevoda.
@@ZakRas being too hard on yourself man, but the ground zeroes montage was so well constructed and the music playing even when choking chico tf out made me laugh
This game is absolutely masterpiece
