18 when this game came out, going through Hell with my mental health at the time. MGSV kept me going and gave me something to look forward to. Crazy it's been almost a decade.
I was 10 when the game came out im turning 20 this month 😭 i def should not have been playing metal gear that young tho ion even know what i thought the story was back than fr
@@lordbertox4056 1. “Half recycled” is a major exaggeration & was always intended in the design documents of the game. 2. “Half missing” again this is a major exaggeration. Every single game you’ve ever played had cut content. They released that chapter 3 footage for a reason. To tease you with something you were never going to get, but something you “know” existed. .
What makes me love MGSV is the depth of gameplay, and that the game keeps people talking about it. I won’t be surprised if this game is seen as the Moby Dick of gaming.
Great video! Love the end especially. You’ve given me things to ponder for sure. This game is truly a “Phantom Pain” in every sense of the meaning. As the player we’re meant to believe that we were the “legend”. Only to find out that we are a copy, and our story doesn’t matter.
On a first playthrough you're so excited to get back into metal gear you don't notice any of the twists but on a second and third go you feel like an idiot
You hit the nail on the head with this game and your summary. Its really refreshing to hear this perspective on the game because I always have loved it and can't stop coming back
When the game came out I got to about 85ish, when I got the PC version I only played the main story again but only recently have I gone for 100%, you're still probably further than most people
i don't think skullface was trying to go after the medic in the hospital, otherwise, there was no point in the 20 minute speech skullface gives you that is meant to be directed at the boss. If he truly knew about the phantom, I don't think he would have prepared nine years to deliver a crazy monologue yap session to the wrong guy.
Played Peace Walker as a kid and MGSV as a hs senior/college freshman. Safe to say the tonal shift and loss of innocence both ingame and IRL at the time was very potent.
One of the mission tittles, "Proxy War Without End", perfectly describes this game. Anyone still playing is fueling a proxy war without end by continuously building up staff and FOB's.
To this day there are certain things that I am wondering about: Why didn't Mantis read Ishmael's mind to realize he is the real Big Boss? Volgin would then go after him and not Venom. Did Big Boss actually use the Medic's identification papers, and "change his face, too", like Ocelot instructs him to do? Why does Ishmael have two clearly working eyes and no beard and mullet? His right eye even glances at the camera at times, very visibly. These are just three examples of some pretty strange writing choices from Kojima, a person who pays attention to every last detail in his games. Great video.
Mantis is very young and easily manipulated by outside factors, you notice who's controlling him by the flames, his mask looking liking skull faces, getting Eli's berret and at one point he gets Venom's horn so that could be why he can't use his powers fully yet by himself. No idea why Venom never changed the identity, maybe he did but didn't get surgery just a mask or something, sadly we'll never know unless Delta gets DLC or something. Like I said in the video my theory on Ishmaels model is just Venom's brain not allowing himself to see anyone but himself as Big Boss until AFTER he knows the "truth", i don't think it was glanced over but Kojima could also have just been fangirling over meeting Keifer, he's a geek just like the rest of us.
other options for Ishmael could've been Gray Fox, Decoy Octopus and Solidus but i dont think staging Ishmael's death wouldve been that necessary if he wasnt Big Boss. i agree with your take.
Thanks, I wouldn't say the game has many flaws, from a gameplay perspective it's very polished and the story we got is great it just dips because of Kojima wanting to put too much in for the time frames Konami gave him. It's a shame it feels unfinished but that's not on any one person
@@constantine8432 from a gameplay perspective the game is a 10/10. It ruined games for me for a while afterwards because why did nothing else feel as good to play as MGSV with the same amount of options and freedoms to tackle missions and how well snake handles in game.
A long long time ago..... 🎶 To face to face , with the man that sold the world... Who still has the Map of Africa & Afghanistan taped to thier wall in thier room??
Kojima: - I made a stealth game. - I made a sequel which is better and It's as good as it should be. - I made a perfect trilogy, that perfectly sums up the whole evolution of this series - I made another sequel, It's time to move on, It's on you guys. - I made another sequel, it's a trilogy of top down MGS games, but no one could play it right, aldo i couldn't let it go. - Seriously, I'm still doing this thing and actively trying to end it all, I'm so tired, snake is tired. - I nade a small scale sequel to the first game in the chronology, it was a fun time. - I really don't know why I'm still doing this but now I'm gonna hurt you, real badly, like a Phantom Pain. It ended up perfectly. - I think i should remake the first two- oops guess i'm doing something else now.
The shootout Ishmael is supposed to help with gets bugged super easily. Literally just had my lady start playing yesterday and refused to help her. Whether it’s from her using checkpoints or cause my save data leaked somehow idk. If I had to guess they just copied soldier A.I. and didn’t play test it enough to see how often he actually helps you lol.
Yeah I remember the when I played on the PS4 day one of release Ishmael shot the second dude but every other time i've played he never helped. Also a lot of theories I've noticed via youtube and discussion pages all use that as apart of their theory to why Ishmael isn't real, that's really the only reason I mentioned it. It could be a glitch or it could have been patched out to make us question Ishmaels identity. I can't remember where I read it but one of the original ideas for "Truth" was to show Ishmael being a hallucination
I mean we still have hope in the fact that we didnt get a proper nuclear disarment achievement right? Maybe chapter 3 peace its basically called peace because of that, its peace because there are 0 remaining nukes.But getting it naturally is imposible due to the phantom nukes and the fact that in a couple of years if there is a ps6 or even ps7 then what would happen to that transfer of servers and updates? What konami will give jus a random update to ps4? It would be really weird. My english wasnt the best in this writing but I think I let the message clear
the phantom pain story is not real, it’s a Parallel hallucinatory event where the canon is fingertips away like a real phantom pain, the ground zeroes events is real but the canon but the events are actually in reverse and skull face is actually big boss in ground zeroes , spent 9 years studying this games lore
So wait, those truth tapes... They don't exist and they're his imagination, they were never recorded at all and he doesn't have them, yet they depict true knowledge said by the characters even though they themselves never said the words? That's weird, and very confusing, and not well conveyed if that was the intention

Why are we still here? Just to suffer?
The body I lost
The comrades I lost
I still look at the Red band trailer.. to this day..
Won’t stop hurting

That missing chapter is like a missing limb, and 9 years later we are still feeling that phantom pain.

9 years of wondering “hey that would’ve been cool if the game was finished, right?”
It is finished. It’s called the Phantom Pain for a reason.

you missed out on experiencing 2 during coming-of-age, which you should consider a blessing
Same here brother

@@constantine8432 any discord or steam account to chat around?
i was 12 playing this game years ago that’s so insane to me man
it's been... nine years.
this game means everything to me
I'm afraid it has been.... nine years...

I'm going to be 19 next month I saw jacksepticeye play this game then my grandma bought it for me damn 9 years ago
That sunderland reference and the silend Hill's radio. On point references
The fact I have only recently hit 75 percent in game
When the game came out I got to about 85ish, when I got the PC version I only played the main story again but only recently have I gone for 100%, you're still probably further than most people
I lost my save data on my ps4 pro, then got it on xbox (grind like hell), then started another time on ps4. This game is addicting.
9 year coma doesnt seem that long anymore...
"You hope Hatred might someday replace the pain, but it never goes away."
That ending was beautiful, amazing video, thank you
This is a splendid video, it's beautifully made. Thank you Boss, I hope it will get the views it deserves!

Great video, man. I really appreciate your thoughts on the title.
I always thought that it was confirmed that Ishmael was the real BB, no?
Amazing video, great work!
I finally played this game last year, It's been a while since I had a game that I looked forward to playing at the end of each and everyday.

Ive got 100% on mgsv 4 times going on 5 i wish i can play it fir the first time again
Amazing video
thank you

I’ll never forget when I fought the body snatchers, found all the secret scenes… those were real. Trust me.

A long long time ago..... 🎶
To face to face , with the man that sold the world...
Who still has the Map of Africa & Afghanistan taped to thier wall in thier room??
I have that map on my case I always look at it as a reminder the Phantom pain will always be there

- I made a perfect trilogy, that perfectly sums up the whole evolution of this series

9 years and still the best action-stealth game to date, all while being perpetually incomplete. I love this game so much, and I hate konami even more.
Kojima is so visionary that he made a game called, "Phantom Pain" and didn't finish it so we could actually experience Phantom Pain ourselves.
I'm afraid it's been 9 years.
Its been 9 years
