You should stop making MGS videos. Unless you'd like to give us the whole story.
Well for starters, Big Boss wasn't the one put in stasis. That was solidus, Big Boss's exact clone.
2nd, Ocelot was never truly controlled by Liquid's arm, it was all self imposed brainwashing.
Decent attempt though, but don't do story recaps if you don't actually know the story. Better luck next time.
THANK YOOUU soo much!!! After many many research and still not understanding. I finally understand which Snake is which, etc..
this comment section smells like what i imagine comic con to smell like
I don’t think medic is venom. I think chico is venom and then there’s another double which is Ismael (medic) then real big boss is out in hiding.
Raiden: “So my super cyborg adventure is not canon? Oh well.”
Forget what Kojima said. It’s canon when we say it is.
@@SolCresta3405 {insert relevant metal gear rising: revengeance clip here}
@@g3nj1 Yeah.
It doesn't mess with canon, but isn't considered canon.
Portable Ops is, though.🤯
Isn't it? Doesn't he appear in MGS4 in the same suit from revengence but he doesn't have any arms?
i think anyone trying legitimately learn the history of the Metal Gear series will not find this video very helpful but it was extremely entertaining for us who are long time fans
Yea.. i understood almost nothing. He speaks too fast and generally bad at explaining
No problem. I've already knew the whole story through a UA-cam channel that explains it in details(lots of long videos). I watched Mojo Plays' video just for fun.
It made sense to me though
Lmao if I hadn't played these games minus peace walker and the very first 2 metal gears, I wouldn't have been able to follow. Yes it was entertaining and kind of informative the description of the history could've been done better but it was rushed.
Started playing them chronologically a couple years ago, finished Phantom Pain a few months back. Next I'm playing Metal Gear 1. So I'm going from PS4 to MSX.
You'l have a hard time.
Nah the metal gear solid games have gameplay that haven't aged and still hold up pretty well. The og metal gear games are a bit too simple tho.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Metal Gear
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
and we can all agree that nobody gives a shit about survive right?
@@jhosenlofters7236 Snake’s Revenge, Ghost Babel, the Ac!d duology, and Survive are completely non-canon.
then my point still stands@@SolCresta3405
Yeah he forgot portable ops and rising
@@Nico-iv3wr Who, me? It’s in my comment…
I salute you for taking the suicide mission of explaining Metal Gear franshise
I will add something here and very much important. On MSG4 Eva told us how Zero started it all of this and how evil he was, Big Boss ask the question "Did Zero hated me or he feared me?". The asnwers on MGS5: Phantom Pain show it was neither. Zero saw Big Boss as a friend and cared for him, he was the one who saved him and stated the idea of a copy double. There wasnt any rivalry, only a disagreement with no comunication between the parties. It did not help that Paz, on Peace Walker, went further ahead, against, her original orders, further cementing on Big Boss de assumption that Zero became his enemy. The sad reality is that Zero was decomitioned long, long before the construction of the Patriots IA, so that wasnt his fault either. Zero would have never wanted the state the world was in the 2000's. Big Boss died withouth knowing the tragic truth of his friend.
you will understand the timeline if you play the games. just dont start with 2 and 4. if you want to describe it its hard
Skull Face being in the backseat of glory was hardly the main reason why he took a villain role. Skull Face resents Zero because his idelogy is the one that, according to Skull Face, is responsible for him losing his face/family/everything. Skull Face is the villain because he STILL deals with the phantom pain of his past, like almost everyone in MGSV. Misinterpreting the Boss' will, Skull Face enacts his plan to create his twisted version of the Boss' will.
Jeez, your outbursts are somewhat annoying. Well maybe annoying isn't the right word, but overplayed, exaggerated, over the top. Just explain it without having to comment on every little thing. I dunno, don't think it's as funny as you think it is
It's not that deep, really.
Guns of the Patriots was one of my favorite games!
Well, this was fun. I have a headache now. Great video!
dude can u just pls tell the story
Literally is
@@shawncartwrightHe’s skipping way too much details and adding cringy banter
@@glydoughnut9432buddy it’s a face level summary stfu
Metal Beer?! I'm dead 💀 🤣
Very good video only correction was Jack not John but other then that 100%
Would have been fun if you said, lets start with Metal Gear Solid 3, the 5th game of the franchise and the first game chronologically.
You taught me some things , thanks!
MgsV was a work of art, the movement and what you could do in it even with cardboard, you could say that MGS V is a leap into the future
21:00 dont wanna be that guy but... isnt meryl the niece? not daughter
In the non canon ending of MGS1 Colonel Campbell reveals to Snake that he is indeed Meryls father and not her uncle. Also, this fact is pretty much out in the open by MGS4.
Great explanation
Shuttup WM. You just don't understand it
Completely omitted several major plot points: Portable Ops, The Boss’s AI sacrifice at the end of Peace Walker which vindicates her, Venom Snake being forced to murder his own soldiers when they become infected with the anti-English virus, Ocelot being The Boss’s son, and EVA who, in addition to being Solid’s and Liquid’s mother, was the exact reason that Big Boss becomes disillusioned with Fox and the CIA and Zero, since she told EVA the truth to tell Big Boss.
What game series story is more complicated? MGS or Kingdom Hearts? I vote for KH!
Metal gear's story is actually a lot more linear in nature while kingdom hearts has a lot of side games that are just as important as the mainline titles that just keeps adding more elements to the lore, its a series that it makes more sense when you play it and it comes together in your head then a person explaining it to you.
Honestly MGS. As a fan of both at least with KH i can always remember who I’m for and who I’m against
@@glydoughnut9432Exactly. To this day I still wonder who's a hero and who's a villain in the MG world, I came up with my own ideas. Solid Snake is just a pawn in USA's hands. Same for Raiden. Solidus Snake is actually a hero who tried to stop the patriots when he saw that even the US president (himself) couldn't do anything. Big Boss is a ruthless anti-hero. Venom Snake is just a pawn and decoy in the hands of Big Boss and Ocelot. Ocelot is a contorted psycho guy who's really only loyal to Big Boss and literally brainwashed himself multiple times just to follow Big Boss'will. Liquid Snake is a victim of his own biological origins and really is just a depressed psycho rebel who wants to give a meaning to his life and creation. Now I want MGS6, under Kojima's direction, with Solidus as a protagonist
This is how you know the story is so complex and hard to follow he kept mentioning how the philosophers and the patriots sound the same then at 7:52 he says “ the goal of the philosophers “ which in fact it was the goal of the patriots to carry out The boss’s legacy haha love metal gear! Also no mention of la li Lu Le lo during the mgs3 speech?
I don't know what's more confusing. This or the Kingdom Hearts timeline?
While metal gear's narrative is confusing at times it still tells a undstandable story of people affected by war, in my opinion i think kingdom heart's story is far more harder to understand(I love that series btw).
kingdom hearts's story is f'ed up, tetsuya nomura is a brilliant game maker, but not at making story. it's complicated, but not interesting at all, unlike mgs
I loved this game when it came out on PlayStation as a double disk. Metal gear solid 2 was great. Metal gear solid 3 was great… 4 is when I realized that the series had a huge issue with consistency. The story is interesting when it’s simple but the supernatural aspects and the science fiction have no chance of being believable when kojima and friends screw up the plot so much and do too much philosophizing and had the voice actors doing all that campy voice acting and overacting…absolute shit plot but the gameplay is fun. Way too convoluted and too much horseshit lol like why mgsv and no metal gear remake to introduce solid snake and this new found venom snake posing as big boss… ahh, anyway great vid.
Fox, and philosophers, and Kenny g. I would play that game. With the music to be fair. So just metal gear actually
As an old fart, my first foray into Metal Gear was the first on the original Nintendo System. I've been a fan ever since. Hideo Kojima should forever be remembered for his gaming and cultural influence on the world. Salute!
You did great on this video! I don’t just comment that, it’s genuinely good and drip feeding the information was very good, as I can actually remember them
Thank you!
so we dont talk about portable ops?
Kojima said it was not cannon
One question:
What was that middle part, again?
So who was actually ‘good’ in terms of not wanting to blow up or control the entire world?
Was ocelot actually fighting for the ‘good’ of mankind or no?
Lmao if I hadn't played these games minus peace walker and the very first 2 metal gears, I wouldn't have been able to follow. Yes it was entertaining and kind of informative the description of the history could've been done better but it was rushed.
jus finished MGS4 again.. and decided to replay MGS to find out what the hell is going on. started MGS3 and finished it few days after. with the names.. it is confusing, only now i can finally understand them
Just had an Amazon ad lol😂
I would love the story to get fleshed out in a series of novels.
*GUYS IT'S NOT MOWZES IT'S MOSES, ARE U GUYS DEAF DAVID HAYTER LITERRALY SAID THAT IN MGS2*
How do you have a no hitting rule when you’re talking about metal gear salt you know what I should click off the video just for that dumb comment 2:47
"chronological order"
* shows release order * ......
Are you sure you’ve been a fan since you were young you sound as if doing this vid was such a chore. Then don’t do it if you don’t like the games.
Well, when you say it like that the whole story just sounds silly and overcomplicated 😂
Guns of the patriots is underrated. Change my mind...
OK, even though I am 10 minutes in this and I’m somewhat confusing,
Watch MOJO explain metal gear solid? Sign me up
Stick with the story and stop with the corny side comments
don't know why the algorithm missed this video I think the poor reception of the new remaster has semi censored MGS content due to people missing such s large new entry (or perhaps it's the other way around, chicken or the egg I Suppose but with the futrasound videos being well received this seems somewhat recent)
Great now i dont have to finish 5 nobody gets what is going on😮🎉
7:41 I can agree but let's add the types of metal gears to this list cuz why tf not seriously. Metal Gear, Metal Gear REX, Metal Gear RAY, Metal Gear (Eldera), Metal Gear G, Metal Gear D, Metal Gear EXCELSUS, Metal Gear GANDER, Metal Gear KODOQUE, Metal Gear Mk. II, Metal Gear RAXA, Metal Gear ZEKE, Walker Gear, TX-55 Metal Gear, Sahelanthropus, Shagohod, Peace Walker, Pupa, Outer Haven (is that even a metal gear?) Arsenal Gear, Gekko, Coccon, Chrysalis and INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC FUCKING METAL GEAR
Damn thats hard the ending is powerful
Where is Portable Ops!? Where is Rising!?
Portable Ops and Rising are not canon according to Kojima
@@glydoughnut9432 Kojima never said anything like that
@MojoPlays, not exactly just 3. 4 counting Mosquito in Mission 23. And Aswell as other survivors in Ground Zeroes plus others whom were on mission during the attack on Mother Base. Around 50 to 100 I would guess said in a Cassette Tape by Ocelot
Nope… still don’t get it…
Chico should've survived too...
THANK YOOUU soo much!!! After many many research and still not understanding. I finally understand which Snake is which, etc..
What the hell Big Boss name is Jack not John
Technically its both jack is a nickname for John i know its complicated but the metal gear wiki has it as both
No its not
@@AeneidenThe Boss calls him Jack yet his name is John according to Ocelot. Never really explained but he goes by both
"complete"
* Leaves two titles out *
and yet they won't give us a movie lol
I’m not crying. Your crying 😭😭
but what about MGS portable ops 1 for the PSP cause that game introduces Roy Campbell, so where is that game in the timeline at?
Metal Gear isn’t complicated… A succinct summary with no confusing bull crap is what you want? We don’t sell that here.
Jack not John John was a fake name
So basically everyone dies, the original comes back alive the end. Long live Big Boss!
I love how people assume Metal Gear Revengeance has anything to do with Metal Gear.
Why does he wanna rescue paz?
You're pretty good
El 100 años de Soledad de los videojuegos.
MGS Invisibility Suit!
Great video! Really enjoyed a streamlined journey through the MG saga
Honestly MGS dont get confusing till 4
I’m still kinda confused 😂
😂 Metal gear is not complicated. the story is super linear. just how the games were released is complicated. If you play the games how they were released it is not complicated and if you play them in the chronological order it is also not complicated.
Its funny how they treat sarcastically the timeline as "totally not complicated" but by doing such a sh*tty summary, they or he made it sound complicated AF.
Either make a shorter video with more enfasis on key details but focused or a longer video explaining everything in detail but well documented and better narrates, not some middle ground that its just garbage, like explaining just the beginning and the ending of MGS3.
only kojima can figure it out😂😂😂
I still have no idea what happened
It’s not complicated for the Patriots
I haven't forgotten what you've told me boss, we have no tomorrow but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present we push the future further away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not, which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us, no need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger. I have to drive out this demon inside me, build a better future. That's what l, hmm, what "we" will leave as our legacy. Another mission, right
boss?
Am I crazy or did the title change?
Both
in mgs 2 snakes ears always looked like dumbo
Im still confused
was looking forward to this one…. what happened? narration was not good. like he took the whole video as a joke and the profanity was so out of place
Shagohod means "treaded behemoth"
Was excited to learn about metal gear but found out it’s watchmojo making the video. Expect misinfo and blanket stuff being left out
…….. ……..what?!?😂
this was sooooo entertaining. damn
Me doliio la cabezzaaaaaaa
SNAKE!
Isn't naked snake's name jack?
technically yeah
❗Your pretty good❗
Comicstorian has better videos explaining this. Go watch that instead so you’ll understand it better
21:03 wasn't Meryl Campbell's niece?
Daughter
@@viracocha you're right lmao this also really brings out the term "totally not complicated"
No. Meryl is Roy’s daughter. This is revealed either during MGS1 if you gave up during the Ocelot torture or in MGS4 when Meryl brings it up
Are we just going to pretend that the Metal Gear Solid series' storytelling is good, when it boils down to terrible exposition dumps and with some very cringey, anime-like and overall questionable charracters, nonsensical convoluted plots and so on? Yes, what is good about the series (the gameplay), is really good and inovative, but Kojima's fanboys tend to oversell these games to the moon, like they're some divine gaming revelation. Well, sorry but they're nothing close to that, just a series of good games, and that's it. Only anime emo fanboys think they're masterpieces in storytelling, but these people don't understand good storytelling to begin with, if they think countless exposition dumps is the way to tell a good story.
Great video!!
So I don't want to explain the full series but I don't know what I'm getting into give me likes
If you started at 13 like I did, not 4 like you, the story isn’t complicated, Kojima dialogue in the game is what makes it fucking complicated. Anddd you could have just said Mercenaries Without Boarders
I highly doubt you can put all the metal gear lore in such a short video 😅
great work, love this video, concluding a massively long timeline into less than 30 minutes is incredible, especially true when I watched other's failed attempt to do so
