The spike pendulum traps work for the health trick, they're faster too. If you walk into one that's been activated, you get a cut injury. You can get alot of them quickly.
I like to think Volgin during the torture scene is like "What a beautiful body you have - like a newborn b-- OH JESUS SNAKE WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR KNEES"
Thank you! The naming scheme is something I came up with during the Tenchu video. It's a fun little writing challenge while I am getting everything together
Challenge runs like this usually lose my interest very quickly but you've a great style and excellent narration that keeps me invested. I also love the way you track failures too.
becos this one is the best one out of them all, and the best character. Not even Master Chief or gta 2 claude speed can captivate our souls like Naked Snake
Rando: Do not drown like "The USA's Greatest Street Fighter Player." (Cut to the footage of DSP ignoring the high ground, causing the future Big Boss to sink in the quicksand.) DSP: Snake, it's right there! Oh, my God!
What an amazing run. I never knew about the max health gain trick! That's really cool! Something I've discovered, and I don't think it's covered in the manual, but when you're fighting The Boss, there's a trick you can do to recover from a botched CQC attempt. Normally, if you mis-time it, she'll grab you, hit you to stun you, and then throw you to the ground. If you press the Weapon button instead of the CQC button at around the time she does the hit, Snake will do a counter-grab and twist out of her grasp. Not only does it give you a second chance to throw her if you screw up the CQC timing, but it looks really cool, too!
Oh! Last time i seen someone did this was in a speedrun. It reallly looks sick, but is there maybe in other situations this can be done? Kinda curious if there is more to do in this game somehow
I always wondered how the counter grab works, because when that happens I STILL hit the CQC button, sometimes multiple times. Never used the weapon button. Will try that some time, if I don't forget it though.
This really took me back to the countless hundreds of hours spent in this game... the trying silly things...staying too late on a school night when I first fought The End only for him to sneak up on me and send me on my way 90 mins into fighting him 😅.....calling my brother to my room when I finally figured how to CQC The Boss consistently .... so many fun memories. Thanks for the video man! What an age we live in, huh Snake?
I don't usually comment on videos, but after seeing how little subs this lad has I had to leave something to help out. Absolutely stellar content, very professional and high quality fun commentary and editing. Hope to see more from you in the future!
I'm ashamed to admit that even though I've finished this game over 20 times in both OG Snake Eater and Subsistence, this is the first time I've ever seen the house/beta area. Amazing run, you've earned yourself a new sub and I hope your channel keeps growing even more.
What area are you talking about? What do you mean house area ? When I very first played this game.. my main was getting all the camouflage suits & face paints.
There's a house with a couple guards and a rations storehouse near it in the area just before The End. The house is in its own dead end map area, I myself just found it for the first time ever for my master collection playthrough. There's a point where there are two paths that both lead to a new area, one leads east and the other north, the eastern path takes you to the house.
This is utterly elite stuff. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this run of one of my favourite games ever. Even though I feel like a complete novice in comparison.
Thanks for the kind words! I do reccommend giving some of the harder difficulties a go. For the longest time I played the mgs games on normal or maybe hard. It was only this year I decided to buckle down and give EuEx a go
This is a fantastic video. Everything is amazing from the breakdown of each section to the Soviet name jokes and the Snake Eater injury editing. I couldn't imagine the huge amount of dedication it took to finish a run like this
Thank you for the kind words. The Guard jokes was something that started with the Tenchu video, I lost 60% of my script because I hadnt saved it, and in the rewriting process I decided not to repeat any names, just to make it more interesting, and the idea stuck!
Thanks! Honestly, the frustration factor wasnt actually that high, because with a game like this i KNEW what was and wasnt possible. Whereas in some other game i have run (looking at you timesplitters) the brick walls I hit, i had no idea if there were even viable while i was banging my head against a wall. Glad you enjoyed the video!
so glad to see these games arent forgotten. your run taught me a lot of neat tricks that i never knew about like the silent footsteps glitch with grenades.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I can't see these games ever being forgotten. Especially not now with the HD re-release coming out. Let's hope they make it to steam
23:50 Lol Snake even before becoming big boss still cares about soldiers health I still have yet to play MGS3 but I saw the thumbnail and had to watch. Currently doing my first run of mgs since I have the collection. Love the vid instant sub
Your editing and commentary as well as the pacing of this entire video is just nothing short of amazing! And I'm relatively surprised that You only have a few subs! Good things will go your way, Friend. Keep it up! Can't wait for more videos!
It was good fun joining the livestreams and seeing just how much effort went into the run alone to make the video. Great summary of the streams. Was also fun being part of the hive mind to figure out tricks and tactics.
This has got to be the BEST MGS3 video I've had the pleasure of watching. Thank you so much, the long hours making this are not lost on me. The only thing I would pick on is it all was so fast paced, I would've loved to see a longer more detailed version. But that's being nitpicky, and it's not a bad thing. I'm actually saying that this is one MGS3 video I can honestly say I wouldn't mind it being another hour longer. I can only imagine the hard work that went into editing all this and scripting it. Thank you so much for some of the finer gaming content on UA-cam.
Thank you. Im glad you enjoyed it. I'm still figuring things out I regards to pacing specifically. I would like to think that it has been improving over time. It did take a long while to make, and was good fun doing so!
This video was amazing! I don’t think the part where you had to disguise as Raikov really counts as the game doesn’t provide any other option. But overall I was constantly in awe of the absolute display of skill in this video, well done 👍
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it, I knew going into it that I would likely need to wear the Raikov outfit, but had to do due diligence and try to figure a way around it anyway.

This video is the best video I've seen in a while. The humour is great. The editing too was leaps and bounds above what I would expect for a channel thise size. I can see a lot of effort went into this. Your channel deserves all the growth it gets.
I'm SO GLAD I was watching MGS videos to see this on my Recco feed. It's my favorite franchise. Your delivery, your cadence, your editing... this is a REALLY GOOD video. PLEASE keep it up; you're gonna go far on YT with this style. Loved this entire vid, watched the whole thing.
Thanks! MGS is probably my favourite series, but I will be playing a bunch of different games... if i come up with a good idea for a challenge run in a metal gear game I am always down!
Some of them yes. specifically the Fury and (strangely enough) the ocelot unit. The rest of them have some very strong strategies The Boss herself is also a straight skill check and can be brutal if your trying to CQC but havent got the timing down
@@sirrando one time in my life. NEVER again. And yes. I specifically remember The Fury giving me the most trouble and The Boss is basically perfect run or bust
Seriously impressive. I had to like and subscribe out of principle. It’s amazing how little I know about this game and how I still keep learning new tricks and mechanics from watching vids like this.
7:46 - putting the clips on-tempo with the lyrics like that is always an appreciated touch, in my opinion (EDIT): didnt realize it was a Recurring thing...soon ill develop a Pavlovian reaction, to reach for some Bandages next time i hear "What a Thrill..."
32:05 that section with The Sorrow really is tense. First time I tried a pacifist run, everything seemed fine until I encountered one of the hoverdrone soldiers there. Absolutely no idea how he died or why it was attributed to me -- maybe they sometimes just... crash? After that I did a reset and tried beating it on European Extreme so I could get the stealth costume. Found out halfway through that using continues still counted the number of alerts, and that I'd have to start over and load from a save every time I was spotted. Never tried again.
It's likely your hover guy was killed, you got spotted, continued. Then that counts. The system is strange, there are ways to kill guards without it counting. Iirc george salonikh had a vide9 about it. It's also on some wikis for the game
Im glad you stremed while recording the footage for this. Makes the old days of playing it all by yourself seem so obsolete. Glad you weren't just slogging away in a room by yourself amd talking to no one.
I did that for most of my previous challenges, i started streaming them at the timesplitters video. Playing by myself is also fun and I dont mind at all. But it can be nice to get some ideas from stream chat to help figure some of the problems out
Ive played this game 100s of times over the last 15 years and you sir, showed things, items strategies i never knew. Thank you for my renewed nostalgia
Great editing, great commentary, great gameplay, impressive playthrough follow through. I'm surprised you don't have more subs, but it's bound to happen. I'll be glad to help you to 1 million. Looking forward to more videos mate.
How does this video have so little views and why did UA-cam recommend this channel to me just now? This is quality content, hoping MGS Delta will boost you a bit!
@Glowtato nah but Fr this NEEDS to be a challenge. If I had the capability to fund it I would. This is probably harder than moistcritikal halo challenge.
Awesome video! Haven’t played MGS3 in years (even though I keep buying copies of it for some reason???) and this brought back a flood of memories of weird tactics I used to try, but also taught me some I never knew. Fantastic narration and editing, loved the guard nicknames as well. You very much earned this subscription
Wonderful narration and editing. I watched this over two toilet breaks and I was HOOKED. You more than deserve every like, comment and sub for this video. Which is why I came to drop my two cents.
25:54 still better than dsp fury fight. Great video. Earned a damn well deserved sub. Takes one crazy son of a snake ( pun not intended just something i say) to do this.
Watching you figure out ways to win in unfavorable odds, was heaps of fun, that being said I bet it wasn't as fun on your side. Keep up the awesome work.
You're a madman, how the hell do you attempt European Extreme without having anxiety when instant failure is always imminent. Let alone doing it in a way that further handicaps and raises the difficulty? You put a lot of work into this, and along with the passion you have for MGS, it makes the video incredibly entertaining to watch! You're pretty good ❤
Thank you! Honestly there wasn't that much anxiety, because a lot of the sneaking challenges are a puzzle. Coming up with a silly strategy that worked was great fun. Except some of the bosses, now they were rather difficult.
Did a CQC knife/animals only run back in 2005 and loved it. this brought back a lot of memories thanks for the great video. Very annoying about the pain boss fight I was always frustrated with this myself.
I know. Its a right pain that the pain throws a wrench into the works, if your playing on hard or below there is a way to skip his fight with fake death pulls though
That's a gag that started in my tenchu video.... and it's stuck at this point. It's also a fun challenge while I am writing the script. Glad you enjoyed the video
@@sirrando this is the first of your videos that I've seen but I'll definitely be checking your other videos. Quite interested to hear what descriptions you've come up with. Keep up the excellent work!
I absolutely Love your mgs videos man! I've been watching since the first One you posted and i'll Keep watching even when you have One million subscribers 😁
My gosh. Your video popped up on my feed and I’m a big time MGS fan. This was a great video. Very informative and entertaining. You sir have another sub.
@@sirrando You opened my mind when explaining the self injuring to gain more health. I've seen speedruns do that all the time and never explained. _Justice is an understatement, _*_respect_*_ is what you gave this game._ 👌
Very well done. This is the first comment I've left on a UA-cam video for a very very long time. I'm leaving it for the love of this game that I have and for the unshakable effort you put into this. I can only imagine a million little screw ups that made you laugh aswell as grunt with frustration. You have great skill in playing, writing, and humor. Well done sir. Getting ready to watch your mgs1 video.
Honestly, I had no issues with patience for this. Everything I was trying to do FELT possible. So I just knew it was a case of figuring out the puzzle. Glad you enjoyed it!
The last time I played Snake Eater i discovered that if you heal the crossbow bolt wounds but don’t remove ‘em, they stay in your body for the rest of the game. Your bone breaking montage reminded me of that
I was shocked when i saw your subscriber count. Your content seems very well-produced and entertaining. You may only have a few subs for now, but I see that changing someday soon! You've earned another one from me
My beloved and personal favorite. Surely one of the top best of all times. I knew about the fact that you can grab guards, throw them onto the ground and then point the gun to them. This game is full of surprises. I discovered many of them many years later. I didn't know about the noiseless footsteps while throwing a grenade. Did you know that in the cave you can wait until it gets much more brighter ? This is an alternative method compared to the use of the cigar, the torch or the night vision goggle. Creative and deep indeed ❤
Every DSP Clip makes a video even better. You got to give it to the dude: He wrote meme history with his MGS2+3 playthroughs. Insane video btw i remember how hard it was to play through Extreme without any alerts, this one just seems even more insane.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it! And no, you can't really hate on the guy at this point. He is like... the old grumpy grandpa who is stuck in his ways of gaming.
@@sirrando How do i use rations? I still watch them from time to time, classics. Lets all just warm up for the MGS1-3 Master Collection that comes to Steam end of October 👍
I love any sort of challenge video and this was super well made and easy to watch! Easy sub for me. The blow up is much deserved and all your videos are exactly my era as well, so I'm looking forward to seeing a new vid of yours pop up being the best part of my day. Happy Big Friday, amigo ♿
This is cool, ima have to give it a go. My "fav" challenege run is what I call the "Nakey Snakey". You gotta crawl the entire game, no steps allowed, except the half step needed to skip the ladder, but also you gotta do the whole run naked. It is rediculously hard
I thought I knew everything about mgs.. I've Big Bossed and EE completed every game (that has EE) multiple times, been paying 6 the series since MG2: Solid Snake, yada, yada... But I had NO clue about the grenade trick. That is impressive work, man. Liked and subbed. Looking forward to more
7:30 Any time you take a injury and it heals your health bar extends slightly, this is to show that as snake takes more damage he becomes more durable with the old adage of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Also the difficulty you play on changes the starting length of the gauge but it can always be extended to the full length of the stamina bar. On Easy 3/4ths the gauge is there, on Normal its half, and with Hard and Extreme its a quarter pip and a half of a pip. It also effects capacity for ammo and what not so you start with less, and enemies are more aware of there surroundings on harder difficulties...Well as aware as they can get in the PS2 era without being flat out unfair... 8:45 This is a very valuable thing to know when playing a non lethal run, you see the reason for that is knocking out a guard with CQC puts stars over there head, and the problem with that is if they get up they will call a caution on top of the fact of the getting up eventually part. But If there sleeping and they get up then they will not call a caution but they will get up eventually and if your doing a no tranq run then that's off the table so by doing this you can avoid them calling a caution flat out. This removes them from play by keeping them down while your there letting you take as long as you need to go through the area. The only times it wont work is if another guard stumbles across them so make sure you pin them down somewhere where a guard wont go, and it also wont work if you fire a gun that is empty near them as they will get back up and call a alert as a response. You can also shake down guards while they are like this, and the benefit to this way of doing it is guards that were resistant about being shaken down of there items while standing can be shaken down while held down to the ground like this letting you get items off of guards who refuse to be shaken down normally. 10:20 If your worried about not being able to see in the caves or finding your way out the game has a hidden mechanic, Snakes eyes will adjust to the darkness over the course of minutes so it will slowly get brighter the longer your in here. Just remember you cant use the map unless you have a light source but the cigar counts as a light source so use that and pull up the map to not lose track on where to go. 15:30 Do be careful when using the box near scientists if you keep alerting them they will decide to turn and look at the box indefinitely while your staying there...I don't need to tell you why that is not a good thing... 22:35 Healing a injury even partially with the cure menu will cause it to heal itself very quickly so lingering injuries can be fixed while still getting the health buff. This is really useful with bullet injuries since the knife is all that is needed and it will cure itself very quickly. 24:35 The Heli is actually loud enough to completely hide any and all sniper shots which is mighty convenient given most would get a Tranq sniper with no suppressor by this point, of course while not good for this run it is better for any future casual runs to know that. 32:10 If the spirits are giving you a hard time open your backpack and all of a sudden you'll realize all your weapons are there that is because this whole walk through these water logged woods is not real and as such snake can use his willpower to conjure his weapons he had so you can use the lethal weapons to push the spirits back and at bay. And before someone asks you cant kill what is already dead it merely stuns them but it will make getting through them easier. 35:55 If your not doing a non lethal run taking out the engineers in the bay will reduce the Shagohods starting health.
@@sirrando I played the game on the PS2, PS3, 360, and 3DS and my preferred ways are the 360 and the 3DS. Kojima decided to use the pressure sensitive buttons of the PS2 and PS3 controllers to play the game... I personally hate that control scheme. Press to light on the circle button and you let go or don't pull your gun. Press to hard and now you kill the guy your trying to hold onto and with full auto weapons it keeps firing making them next to impossible to aim. Face buttons are best used by pressing them all the way or not at all and imo it was a stupid idea to have that. Even when incorporated it was more a hinderance then a benefit because the small surface area makes it extremely difficult to make it work right.
He's just being humble everyone! I was there for the livestream, and this was all done in one attempt.
First try!
@@sirrando Only just thought of Iron Gru as a pun
That.... is an amazing pun.
Next time....
Haha first try in your dreams lol
@@seanbrown6834haha lol haha lol
God, watching Snake intentionally break his legs multiple times during the most important mission of his life: 😳
You gotta do what you gotta do
The spike pendulum traps work for the health trick, they're faster too.
If you walk into one that's been activated, you get a cut injury. You can get alot of them quickly.
I like to think Volgin during the torture scene is like "What a beautiful body you have - like a newborn b-- OH JESUS SNAKE WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR KNEES"
"Gone, reduced to atoms"
In the end you only killed 1 person: The Boss
o7 The man to surpass the boss

*Weapon to surpass metal gear?*
@@Weskin_Time775 METAL GEAR!?!?

You can't kill someone that was sacrificed before the events even began.

Such dedication to the craft

This video is the best video I've seen in a while. The humour is great. The editing too was leaps and bounds above what I would expect for a channel thise size. I can see a lot of effort went into this. Your channel deserves all the growth it gets.
Thanks. Its means a lot, glad you are enjoying my videos!
I'm SO GLAD I was watching MGS videos to see this on my Recco feed. It's my favorite franchise. Your delivery, your cadence, your editing... this is a REALLY GOOD video. PLEASE keep it up; you're gonna go far on YT with this style. Loved this entire vid, watched the whole thing.
Thanks! MGS is probably my favourite series, but I will be playing a bunch of different games... if i come up with a good idea for a challenge run in a metal gear game I am always down!
Oh my god.
You poor bastard.
The bosses in this game are RELENTLESS at this difficulty.
GG
Some of them yes. specifically the Fury and (strangely enough) the ocelot unit. The rest of them have some very strong strategies
The Boss herself is also a straight skill check and can be brutal if your trying to CQC but havent got the timing down
@@sirrando one time in my life. NEVER again.
And yes. I specifically remember The Fury giving me the most trouble and The Boss is basically perfect run or bust
Amazing run I am amazed for the amount of patience this should've required
I am here before your channel grows up exponentially :P
Thank you for the kind words. It would be nice if my channel does well, but, I'm just here enjoying making things!
Seriously impressive. I had to like and subscribe out of principle. It’s amazing how little I know about this game and how I still keep learning new tricks and mechanics from watching vids like this.
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video!
7:46 - putting the clips on-tempo with the lyrics like that is always an appreciated touch, in my opinion
(EDIT): didnt realize it was a Recurring thing...soon ill develop a Pavlovian reaction, to reach for some Bandages next time i hear "What a Thrill..."
This was great!! So glad I got to watch the livestreams. Keep up the great work!
Eyyyyy!
Good to see you again. Glad you dropped by for the final product!
32:05 that section with The Sorrow really is tense. First time I tried a pacifist run, everything seemed fine until I encountered one of the hoverdrone soldiers there. Absolutely no idea how he died or why it was attributed to me -- maybe they sometimes just... crash? After that I did a reset and tried beating it on European Extreme so I could get the stealth costume. Found out halfway through that using continues still counted the number of alerts, and that I'd have to start over and load from a save every time I was spotted. Never tried again.
It's likely your hover guy was killed, you got spotted, continued.
Then that counts.
The system is strange, there are ways to kill guards without it counting.
Iirc george salonikh had a vide9 about it. It's also on some wikis for the game
this video was a lot better than expected especially for someone with a low amount of subscribers, genuinely better than most challenge run videos
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it!
You are going to be a good creator, and it is very clear the effort you put into this is top quality. Thank you for your good work.
Thank you ever so much for the kind words! I am glad you think so
Im glad you stremed while recording the footage for this.
Makes the old days of playing it all by yourself seem so obsolete. Glad you weren't just slogging away in a room by yourself amd talking to no one.
I did that for most of my previous challenges, i started streaming them at the timesplitters video. Playing by myself is also fun and I dont mind at all. But it can be nice to get some ideas from stream chat to help figure some of the problems out
Impressive, very nice, now let's see Paul Allen's extreme playtrough
Thanks im glad you enjoyed it. I'm not sure what you mean by Paul Allen's playthrough though?
@@sirrandoAmerican Psycho reference 🤣
@@gavindixon15 I can't believe I let that slip past me! I should've seen that straight away.
That tasteful thickness
@@AdaptiveApeHybridoh my god; it even has a watermark
Can't even imagine the amount of effort that this took. Subbed! I almost want to try something crazy like this when Delta comes out
Thanks! give it a go! it was (mostly) a lot of fun
I love the shot you took at DSP 😂
I mean... its the law right!?
@@sirrando You're goddamn right. ^_^
Thoroughly enjoyed the wittiness of your commentary. A video well made.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Lol achievement unlocked, "Snake Beater"
;)
Ive played this game 100s of times over the last 15 years and you sir, showed things, items strategies i never knew. Thank you for my renewed nostalgia
Glad you enjoyed it!
i give my life, not for honor, but for more life
brb, changing my name to "More Life" rn
Damn Dude! I can't believe you managed to do this run, congrats its a great watch!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great editing, great commentary, great gameplay, impressive playthrough follow through.
I'm surprised you don't have more subs, but it's bound to happen. I'll be glad to help you to 1 million. Looking forward to more videos mate.
Thanks John, I am glad you are enjoying the videos! I dont know about 1m.... But I will do my best
Achievement Unlock: "Naked Snake"
Excellent. Next up, the BIGSARU challenge: Tuxedo and Monkey Mask so you can save the world in style.
Tuxedo runs are fun
"You're pretty good"
How does this video have so little views and why did UA-cam recommend this channel to me just now? This is quality content, hoping MGS Delta will boost you a bit!
Thanks! Glad you liked it, and hope you like my other videos
Now do it without a game over
You do know you'll be the one getting in trouble when he commits suicide, right? XD
@Glowtato nah but Fr this NEEDS to be a challenge. If I had the capability to fund it I would. This is probably harder than moistcritikal halo challenge.
I suspect its doable. Maybe at some point I will dive in
Seeing the title I instantly subb and favorite this video! Great job btw!!!
love the fact that you added the amount of times you needed to finish each stage! great video my man
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video! Haven’t played MGS3 in years (even though I keep buying copies of it for some reason???) and this brought back a flood of memories of weird tactics I used to try, but also taught me some I never knew. Fantastic narration and editing, loved the guard nicknames as well. You very much earned this subscription
This was very fun to watch. Your commentary is very entertaining. Nice work getting the challenge done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful narration and editing. I watched this over two toilet breaks and I was HOOKED.
You more than deserve every like, comment and sub for this video. Which is why I came to drop my two cents.
It is definitely a double toilet break video length, that's for sure.
Glad you liked it!
25:54 still better than dsp fury fight. Great video. Earned a damn well deserved sub. Takes one crazy son of a snake ( pun not intended just something i say) to do this.
I learned so many things i had no idea about from you. And this is one of my favorite games of all time. Great work bro.
Thanks, this means a lot! Glad you are enjoying them
And I thought playing on European Extreme Non-Lethally for my first playthrough was tough, bravo! This looked intense.
...
You're pretty good
Gratz! Non lethal European eextreme is no joke! Your pretty good too!
Thanks boss o7
Watching you figure out ways to win in unfavorable odds, was heaps of fun, that being said I bet it wasn't as fun on your side. Keep up the awesome work.
It was fun! Every area was its own separate puzzle. and figuring them all out was a treat.
(we dont talk about the ocelot unit or the fury ;) )
You're a madman, how the hell do you attempt European Extreme without having anxiety when instant failure is always imminent. Let alone doing it in a way that further handicaps and raises the difficulty?
You put a lot of work into this, and along with the passion you have for MGS, it makes the video incredibly entertaining to watch!
You're pretty good ❤
Thank you! Honestly there wasn't that much anxiety, because a lot of the sneaking challenges are a puzzle. Coming up with a silly strategy that worked was great fun.
Except some of the bosses, now they were rather difficult.
Did a CQC knife/animals only run back in 2005 and loved it. this brought back a lot of memories thanks for the great video. Very annoying about the pain boss fight I was always frustrated with this myself.
I know. Its a right pain that the pain throws a wrench into the works, if your playing on hard or below there is a way to skip his fight with fake death pulls though
@@sirrando when you mentioned this on the video i tried searching for it on UA-cam bit couldn't find it. can you link me to the strategy?
@@Windraesa Here you go, its completely skips the pain fight entirely
ua-cam.com/video/dut9Qoz6zz8/v-deo.html
@@sirrando legend thanks
Hats off for having unique descriptions for each enemy you encountered. I didn't think it was possible to say "I CQC'd this guard" in so many ways!
That's a gag that started in my tenchu video.... and it's stuck at this point. It's also a fun challenge while I am writing the script. Glad you enjoyed the video
@@sirrando this is the first of your videos that I've seen but I'll definitely be checking your other videos. Quite interested to hear what descriptions you've come up with. Keep up the excellent work!
@@mrdavies09 Thank you, glad to know you enjoyed it!
I absolutely Love your mgs videos man! I've been watching since the first One you posted and i'll Keep watching even when you have One million subscribers 😁
Thank you, I am glad you have such high hopes for me!
My gosh. Your video popped up on my feed and I’m a big time MGS fan. This was a great video. Very informative and entertaining. You sir have another sub.
I cover a variety of games. Butbi have a special place in my heart for mgs.
Glad you enjoyed it!
How do you only have 840 subs with such golden content ?? this is a crime against humanity. You have a sub from me and I hope your channel grows !!
Thank you! I am glad you think so!
Because metal gear is sadly not a mainstream game… it’s pretty obscure. It will probably become more popular when metal gear Delta comes out though!
Great run sir! Excellent video, love the choice of game.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Been quietly keeping an eye on the Livestreams waiting patiently for the Full Game Vid. *_What a Thrill!_*
Thank you! Glad you tuned in for them! This was a blast to do for sure.and I hope this does the game some justice
@@sirrando You opened my mind when explaining the self injuring to gain more health. I've seen speedruns do that all the time and never explained. _Justice is an understatement, _*_respect_*_ is what you gave this game._ 👌
Amazing video, my man, keep it up
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it
Very well done. This is the first comment I've left on a UA-cam video for a very very long time. I'm leaving it for the love of this game that I have and for the unshakable effort you put into this. I can only imagine a million little screw ups that made you laugh aswell as grunt with frustration. You have great skill in playing, writing, and humor. Well done sir. Getting ready to watch your mgs1 video.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the vide9 as much as I did putting it together
Awesome, must’ve taken unlimited amounts of patience.
Also that dsp joke at 1:09 had me laughing 😂
Honestly, I had no issues with patience for this. Everything I was trying to do FELT possible. So I just knew it was a case of figuring out the puzzle.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The last time I played Snake Eater i discovered that if you heal the crossbow bolt wounds but don’t remove ‘em, they stay in your body for the rest of the game.
Your bone breaking montage reminded me of that
I was shocked when i saw your subscriber count. Your content seems very well-produced and entertaining. You may only have a few subs for now, but I see that changing someday soon! You've earned another one from me
Thanks! I am glad you have been enjoying my videos!
My beloved and personal favorite. Surely one of the top best of all times. I knew about the fact that you can grab guards, throw them onto the ground and then point the gun to them. This game is full of surprises. I discovered many of them many years later. I didn't know about the noiseless footsteps while throwing a grenade. Did you know that in the cave you can wait until it gets much more brighter ? This is an alternative method compared to the use of the cigar, the torch or the night vision goggle. Creative and deep indeed ❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
And yeah, your "eyes" will adjust to the dark in the cave, its just too slow lol
Wow, what a legendary run! I can barely do Euro Extreme WITH the MK22 lmao. Great stuff!
Eu Ex is no joke! Play games however you find fun
Every DSP Clip makes a video even better. You got to give it to the dude: He wrote meme history with his MGS2+3 playthroughs. Insane video btw i remember how hard it was to play through Extreme without any alerts, this one just seems even more insane.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
And no, you can't really hate on the guy at this point. He is like... the old grumpy grandpa who is stuck in his ways of gaming.
@@sirrando How do i use rations? I still watch them from time to time, classics. Lets all just warm up for the MGS1-3 Master Collection that comes to Steam end of October 👍
Im really glad i found this channel, some actual really hard challenges on here, great editing, and its funny. Awesome, subscribed.
mgs AND ape escape runs? How have i not come across your stuff until now? Fastest sub of my life
Great series, both of them, it's got to be done!
I really liked all the different ways you came up with to say the same thing, very funny and entertaining! 💕
Thanks! Glad you had a giggle
That sounds like an absolute nightmare to do but it's absolutely awesome that you actually achieved it and showed your methods
Thanks. Glad you liked it
The funny nicknames for the guards, the dsp joke, the theme song while breaking Snakes legs; 10/10 video
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome vid! Had an absolute blast watching and your editing and commentary was amazing!
Thanks! that means a lot, glad you enjoyed it!
I still can't bevelive it 😬 Amazing run and nice video edit 🎵
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I love any sort of challenge video and this was super well made and easy to watch! Easy sub for me. The blow up is much deserved and all your videos are exactly my era as well, so I'm looking forward to seeing a new vid of yours pop up being the best part of my day. Happy Big Friday, amigo ♿
Thank you! Glad your enjoying them. I love this kind of era of games! Still working on the next one
This is cool, ima have to give it a go. My "fav" challenege run is what I call the "Nakey Snakey". You gotta crawl the entire game, no steps allowed, except the half step needed to skip the ladder, but also you gotta do the whole run naked. It is rediculously hard
I thought I knew everything about mgs.. I've Big Bossed and EE completed every game (that has EE) multiple times, been paying 6 the series since MG2: Solid Snake, yada, yada...
But I had NO clue about the grenade trick. That is impressive work, man.
Liked and subbed. Looking forward to more
I wish this game told you your kill count BEFORE you got to the end of the game. I went the whole game only to be trolled by 4 PEOPLE SOMEHOW DYING...
Mgs2 tells you at every game over.
All you get here is the river section with the sorrow
Never commented on YT before. I cannot believe you can increase your health by naturally healing. Subbed!
The MGS games have some amazingly niche mechanics. crazy how deep they can go
Inquisitive Ivan XD great run and amazing commentary :D
7:30 Any time you take a injury and it heals your health bar extends slightly, this is to show that as snake takes more damage he becomes more durable with the old adage of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Also the difficulty you play on changes the starting length of the gauge but it can always be extended to the full length of the stamina bar. On Easy 3/4ths the gauge is there, on Normal its half, and with Hard and Extreme its a quarter pip and a half of a pip. It also effects capacity for ammo and what not so you start with less, and enemies are more aware of there surroundings on harder difficulties...Well as aware as they can get in the PS2 era without being flat out unfair...
8:45 This is a very valuable thing to know when playing a non lethal run, you see the reason for that is knocking out a guard with CQC puts stars over there head, and the problem with that is if they get up they will call a caution on top of the fact of the getting up eventually part. But If there sleeping and they get up then they will not call a caution but they will get up eventually and if your doing a no tranq run then that's off the table so by doing this you can avoid them calling a caution flat out. This removes them from play by keeping them down while your there letting you take as long as you need to go through the area.
The only times it wont work is if another guard stumbles across them so make sure you pin them down somewhere where a guard wont go, and it also wont work if you fire a gun that is empty near them as they will get back up and call a alert as a response. You can also shake down guards while they are like this, and the benefit to this way of doing it is guards that were resistant about being shaken down of there items while standing can be shaken down while held down to the ground like this letting you get items off of guards who refuse to be shaken down normally.
10:20 If your worried about not being able to see in the caves or finding your way out the game has a hidden mechanic, Snakes eyes will adjust to the darkness over the course of minutes so it will slowly get brighter the longer your in here. Just remember you cant use the map unless you have a light source but the cigar counts as a light source so use that and pull up the map to not lose track on where to go.
15:30 Do be careful when using the box near scientists if you keep alerting them they will decide to turn and look at the box indefinitely while your staying there...I don't need to tell you why that is not a good thing...
22:35 Healing a injury even partially with the cure menu will cause it to heal itself very quickly so lingering injuries can be fixed while still getting the health buff. This is really useful with bullet injuries since the knife is all that is needed and it will cure itself very quickly.
24:35 The Heli is actually loud enough to completely hide any and all sniper shots which is mighty convenient given most would get a Tranq sniper with no suppressor by this point, of course while not good for this run it is better for any future casual runs to know that.
32:10 If the spirits are giving you a hard time open your backpack and all of a sudden you'll realize all your weapons are there that is because this whole walk through these water logged woods is not real and as such snake can use his willpower to conjure his weapons he had so you can use the lethal weapons to push the spirits back and at bay. And before someone asks you cant kill what is already dead it merely stuns them but it will make getting through them easier.
35:55 If your not doing a non lethal run taking out the engineers in the bay will reduce the Shagohods starting health.
You have good game knowledge my friend! This is a good breakdown of some of the strats I used and some additional info for readers!
@@sirrando I played the game on the PS2, PS3, 360, and 3DS and my preferred ways are the 360 and the 3DS. Kojima decided to use the pressure sensitive buttons of the PS2 and PS3 controllers to play the game... I personally hate that control scheme.
Press to light on the circle button and you let go or don't pull your gun. Press to hard and now you kill the guy your trying to hold onto and with full auto weapons it keeps firing making them next to impossible to aim.
Face buttons are best used by pressing them all the way or not at all and imo it was a stupid idea to have that. Even when incorporated it was more a hinderance then a benefit because the small surface area makes it extremely difficult to make it work right.
