"Snake Eater", the song, really has no right going as fucking hard as it does. There's only a few songs from video games that I will just play for other than nostalgia, but "Snake Eater" and "Otherworld" (FFX) are two that I'll just jam to.
Otherworld rocks so hard, but is also the single most distinct track in any FF game I’ve played. Every other song or music piece is orchestral or instrumental, and has a classical or laid back feel. Otherworld is just metal in a series you’d never expect it be in, and it works so well for its setting
@17:30 Thank you for mentioning the pressure sensitive button functionality. MGS3 was the only game to make decent use of the feature (that I'm aware of, anyway). It was really nice to have because you could aim your weapon by holding the button down, and while aiming you could just squeeze a little harder to fire, or release the button entirely to holster the weapon. In the re-release version, your only options for holstering after you've aimed are to un-equip the weapon by double-tapping R2 (this often causes a glitched state where you will automatically have the weapon in the firing position whenever you re-equip it, even though the fire button is not pressed at all), or cancel the aiming mode by pressing the melee button to throw a punch (this can blow your cover if a guard is nearby). The pressure sensitive buttons were a really elegant, natural-feeling solution for this problem. I miss that.
Although as a kid I struggled with grabing enemies to interrogate them, to grab them you need to press circle, but for some reason if you keep pressing circle hard, you cut their throat which was a bit harsh as a kid, you need to press it softly to drag them around and to be able to interrogate them. It felt bad when I got to The Sorrow and half of the soldiers were walking with their necks cut lol. Something I do when I replay the game is, through a PS2 emulator, I map square to a trigger so I get that cool shooting mechanic and map the circle button as half sensitivity so I never accidentaly cut people necks!
@@leonje99 you don't know how happy I was when I got my ps3 controller working on my ps2/PS3 emulators and had pressure sensitive face buttons working. I wish I was as smart as you'd have thought of the workaround that you use, instead of pulling my hair out to get my PS3 controller working on a Windows PC lol
Zone of the Enders 2 did it as well, I specifically remember being able to select the exact number of homing missiles to launch by pressure. While it is a bit of an edge case, it is there.
I love how at 21:06 the creditors name being snake makes it look like you just crediting naked snake himself, like yeah he did that he should get the credit lol
I always find it funny in hindsight when Volgin suspects there’s a spy during Snake’s torture, while he’s in the room with a CIA agent/spy, a Chinese double agent, and 2 CIA triple agents
My favorite way to beat Volgin on the base was the knock out cigarettes. Especially in the mid fight cut scene. My head Canon is that they're out of breath from smoking.
My favourite weird detail is if you call the animal expert while in the mountains looking at a vulture you have a conversation about whether or not eating a vulture that ate human flesh counts as cannibalism. For shits and giggles I killed a dude, killed the vulture that turned up and then ate it. Then you get to The Sorrow and one of the dudes is shambling down the river being harassed by a vulture saying "You ate my flesh". I also have no clue if it is an actual thing but the first thing I did during The Sorrow walk was take out the torch and wave it at the spectres, could have been my imagination but I am pretty sure they recoil from you.
As an Australian, I can confirm that game prices are insane. I've seen games that are like 6 years old, being sold at $10 under full price of a game that was released a week ago. I've heard stories of people going to midnight releases of games and having to pay $120 for a digital version of the game. Everything here is so insanely expensive. Some games have entire sections changed or censored or even removed. We've even had games delisted in our country due to regulations, but have those same things that caused the game to be delisted, be shown on popular tv shows.
Learning to run and gun in mgs1 VR missions and realizing I can actually just do all that shiet in MGS3 by playing more "classically" was rly fun for me.
MGS-V was never supposed to have a complete ending. Kojima's exit was perfectly timed to force Konami to release it in an unfinished state, leaving the player with the feeling that something was missing, not unlike an amputated limb. He showed his hand right from the beginning with the title of the game. If it wasn't so obnoxiously meta, I would respect it.
This is just straight up cope & a fan-theory narrative that started circulating years after the game came out and ignores that data-miners found the incomplete assets for the cut final content that would have tied up the loose ends left in the full release. It's ok to admit that one of our favorite games was left unfinished due to internal drama between the devs & publisher.
Oh man, Snake Eater. With The End, it's worth it to sneak up on him three times during the battle. Its a huge hassle, but if you manage it, then beat him, you'll get the Moss camo, which regenerates Life while in the direct sun.
MGS3 is still my all time favorite MGS game. The sheer depth and attention to detail in that game is mind blowing today! Having played through it probably hundreds of times, it always feels like there's stuff you didn't know about, stuff to find, etc. You actually get more than your money's worth. That's how you make a game! I wish more modern devs would take notes.
Hopefully it won't be complete ass, considering all the.... well, typical game studio chronically online dev shit going on with it. It would be dope to see the whole South American mythology told in a game, I just expect massive agendized racism to go right along with it 'cuz.... well. Black gay woman in the South? You know damn well there's going to be heavy "Southern whites are terrible" subtext ("subtext", it will be overt).
@ I expect there will be maybe at least one or two mentions to it but it doesn’t seem like a focus which is nice. Because it doesn’t really matter. But as a Cajun from the bayou myself believe it or not….lot of us don’t give a shit i the Deep South….we were kinda already the rejects of life.
Though tbh I wouldn’t really care if they mention the racism that IS there. I just want a fun game to play and to see the mythical creatures I grew up with hearing about. Me mama got excited when I told her the ruagaua is supposedly involved.
My most anticipated for 2025 is currently Metroid Prime Beyond. I've never gotten into GTA. I enjoyed MGS3. Delta will be good for bringing that experience to new players, but I don't see the point for those of us who already have the game... Unless they're adding new content I'm not currently aware of. But I'm also one of those Nintendo fans that doesn't repurchase all the games they re-release, only buying versions that add enough more content to it to be worth buying it again. All my older systems still work just fine, all the way back to the NES.
Most anticipated game this year? I’m gonna cheat for my answer. Instead of choosing a video game, I’m going to name 2 blocks for MTG announced for this year: Final Fantasy Universes Beyond, and Dragonstorm. Final Fantasy, because I can finally build a Kefka deck (aaand *maybe* we get something for Yuri and Chelinka from Ring of Fates but that’s a more obscure game people don’t care too much about) and Dragonstorm, because it revolves one of my favorite MTG worlds, Tarkir. The entirety of Tarkir revolves around dragons and the people that live either under or alongside them. Kolaghan and Ojutai in particular need a retrain *super* bad.
I always loved the pressure sensitive buttons for ps2 and ps3. Not a lot of games used them i think, so they got rid of them. I got very comfortable with them for metal gear solid 2, 3, and 4. I didn't really miss them in v though. I did miss them in any remakes. Feels wrong.
Mgsv ending was actually finished the cut content was end game content but not supposed to be the ending itself, i still wish that the eli cutscene was still in the game. it wouldve been a great addition to what felt like a lacking act 2 in terms of new content. It makes me wish they were able to put everything they actually wanted to
My partner and I still play through Monster Hunter World and Rise at least once a week. Wilds looks like so much fun. But yea, Delta, I'm so hyped for it.
Not my most anticipated, but yeah my most played game will probably be MHWild, unless I don't stop playing palworld and marvel rivals. Currently playing Dinasty Warriors Origins, can't wait for empires version, it's so good.
7:12 ugh, tell me about it. You know we still don't have Hotline Miami 2? 2015 and it's still not available because they just banned it outright when it was supposed to come out. Only the second one though. The first? Yeah that one's fine, what are you on about?
Gotta agree with Karl but I'm also hyped for South of Midnight bc I'm from the region and have never had a game like it for the area. You guys fucking rule Edit: Just checked the 2025 releases and we eatin good boys

GO, NOW!
IF YOU WANT IT!
AN OTHER WORLD AWAITS YOU!!
Otherworld rocks so hard, but is also the single most distinct track in any FF game I’ve played. Every other song or music piece is orchestral or instrumental, and has a classical or laid back feel.

MGS 2 on the PS2, had the pressure sensitive buttons as well, a lot of people don't know that, unless you did the hold ups for dog tags in MGS2.

If MGS 3 Delta is just a graphical update with all of the gameplay elements untouched or juat improved, It would still be a great game

You can also use the konami code in the end's fight, and you'll be able to see him on the map. Only on normal difficulty and below, tho.
The Cobra Unit, who all incorporate elements of body horror, are inspired by the infamous "the horror" bit from Apocalypse now.

being a single beer from ranting abt metal gear at all times is a pillar of my spiritual state.

@@Madara8989 the man did a whole roll out literally based around Moby Dick, a book that was released unfinished. It's right there SMH
Having not played any Metal Gears, I was not expecting to hear Grampa Max when listening to the Colonel.

And our internet is atrocious
3 has the best gameplay but 2 has my favourite story.
29:06 I act have seen this and never knew where it was from.
I’m really excited for this game called south of midnight coming out in April.

Play it on European Extreme and take a sip of whisky every time you get a game over
As an Australian thanks for your sympathy
Probably the best and most realistic game in history
1:15 I’m really hoping Silksong is released this year, but if not, Doom maybe?

Games im looking for mgs delta, mgs master collection vol 2, gta 6, subnautica 2
I always loved the pressure sensitive buttons for ps2 and ps3. Not a lot of games used them i think, so they got rid of them. I got very comfortable with them for metal gear solid 2, 3, and 4. I didn't really miss them in v though. I did miss them in any remakes. Feels wrong.

It makes me wish they were able to put everything they actually wanted to
MGSD was my most anticipated, then ninja gaiden 4 got announced lmao
im deffenatly looking forward to monster hunter wild, gta 6 ofc but most of all civ 7
I didn’t even realise they were releasing a metal gear 3 remake. Let’s hope its better handled than the silent hill 2 hd
Wasn’t the silent hill 2 remake considered good though?
My most anticipated game for 2025 is absolutely Monster Hunter Wild. I’ve been getting back into tip top shape by playing through Iceborne again
My partner and I still play through Monster Hunter World and Rise at least once a week. Wilds looks like so much fun.
But yea, Delta, I'm so hyped for it.
Mgs for sure and anything from the like a dragon series should anything drop would be great as well
Not my most anticipated, but yeah my most played game will probably be MHWild, unless I don't stop playing palworld and marvel rivals.
Currently playing Dinasty Warriors Origins, can't wait for empires version, it's so good.
7:12 ugh, tell me about it. You know we still don't have Hotline Miami 2? 2015 and it's still not available because they just banned it outright when it was supposed to come out.
Only the second one though. The first? Yeah that one's fine, what are you on about?
MGS3 was an incredible game, I'd love to see you playing Δ.
Gotta agree with Karl but I'm also hyped for South of Midnight bc I'm from the region and have never had a game like it for the area. You guys fucking rule
Edit: Just checked the 2025 releases and we eatin good boys
My most anticipated game for 2025 is Streets of Rogue 2
Monster Hunter Wilds is the game I'm looking forward to the most.
I will disappear from the face of the earth when it releases.
@revolvingiron
You missed the second v :)
Well it was monster hunter but if mgs3 is coming back that's gotta be it. I own like 3 copies if the original.
Doom the Dark Ages
Hell Yeah!!!
my games for 2025 in no order:
mgs3d (wait....didnt i already played this......)
xenoblade x
lost soul aside
pokemon legends zA
metroid prime 4
Monster hunter wilds, karl you gotta get me your username when its out . I lived in mh world so im a pretty good hunter.
Pokemon legends z-a
Being honest I don’t get the hype with the boss, I don’t see why gamers are fans of her
I probably need to play the game myself to see why
Yeah once you play you will understand, it’s definitely a “you gotta be there” kind of deal.
my most anticipated game is definitely DOOM The Dark Ages
