2:42:01 And it was at this point when me, as a young autistic person, realized and looking back on all their interactions throughout the game, that this man, too was on the spectrum. Honestly I felt seen and that people like me can be video game heroes. We sometimes can’t pick up social cues, but we can take down Metal Gear
Honestly I'm so glad you're saying this, because I've been meaning to talk about how I personally feel like Snake is on the spectrum, or at the very least neurodivergent, which is so awesome because 1. It's represented quite well without it necessarily being the main focus, and 2. He's such a badass! But then I felt like it wasn't really my place to talk about this, and I didn't want to pose a 'diagnostic' like that. Anyways, hope I'm making sense 🤣 but I agree with you 100%
I get what you mean, both Solid and Naked snake seem kinda on the spectrum, but i personally believe both of them were conditioned to always have their head on the mission, that's all they ever known, and both of them start to grow away from that mindset as their stories go on, i think its more visible in Solid because you actually see him start to open up to people in mgs1. But i understand completely, that thing about not knowing how to read the room, just like autistic people, its not that Snake doesn't care or doesn't like Eva, its just that for him the logical response is his natural response, he's too used to not being emotional. EDIT: Sorry i just tought about this, Snake is an elite soldier, even here where he's a rookie, he's a rookie in terms of being an elite, he's really REALLY good at his job, but his kinda job ends up making you cynical to the point of sociopathy, or in this example make him seem kinda autistic. I'm not using sociopathy as something bad and of course i'm not comparing it to autism, but if you think about it doing what snake does takes some serious nerves of steel, and that comes with consecuences.
You've finished the game and you've probably realized by now, but if you didn't: Volgin revealing the location of the Legacy back in the torture room wasn't some old-school stereotypical villain moment. He did it on purpose: that was his way of luring the spy and finding out who it was. Eva listened and went for the Legacy and that's how she got captured.
Seeing you get the satisfaction of planting the C3’s stealthily is exactly what I hoped to see more of in this playthrough. There’s no shame in dying to start over. It’s much worse watching you reduced to just killing everyone.
When we take care of EVA after the accident, we can check in the survival viewer all her medical and surgery past, (even before the mission Snake Eater) with the R1 Button.
1:35:00 I’m sorry but this is the moment I’ve known since day one that you get 3 shots on every boss…and finally you found it!! Keep it going, you’re pretty good.
1:57:58 - Whimsy that's NOT an FIM-92 Stinger, like you've seen in MGS1 & MGS2. That's an "RPG-7", a Soviet made unguided anti-tank rocket launcher. The Stinger is an "Anti-Air" or "MANPADS - Man Portable Air Defense System", which did not come out until the 1980s. The RPG-7 you see there in the cutscene, you'll automatically earn it in the Bike-chase if you haven't procured it. You can procure beforehand, at the "Krasnogorje Mountain Top Base - Storage Room" near the food provision hut by a ZU-23 AA Gun.
Sushi did not become popular in the West until very recently, around the mid-1990s. Which was because lots of Japanese people started emigrating to the U.S. after the 1980s era Japanese economic boom (because they had money) and then the 1990s Lost Decade (because they had no money lol). No surprise Snake in 1964 has no idea what it is.
i like that she noticed every time Snake fights the Boss in a cutscene, he does better at it. It's one of my favourite details of the fight choreography
28:55 lmao I've never seen Snake get owned during a zone transition 😂 Thanks for the videos, watching you play through the series has been wonderful, been excited every Sunday and Wednesday for the next one
Snake failing to catch the butterfly (in the cave behind the waterfall) was due to his lack of depth perception because he only has one eye. Snake then managing to catch the butterfly shaped C3 was him overcoming that weakness.
At 15:00 I spit out my water 😆 Was not expecting that but it was so damn funny! I think the butterfly motif might symbolize metamorphosis, similar to how a snake sheds its skin. RPG go boom! Great video, and great series!
The door you where looking for (144.41) you already opened in a previous episode, it was one of the locked storage rooms on the first floor that also opens if you wear the uniform+raiden mask (which is how you got in there).
while i saw someone comment that they wouldve preferred to see you try an area over again using stealth, i think in this episode and last episode, i had greater satisfaction watching you fight back in order to clear the alert. The alerts in this game are significantly longer than the previous games and some of the early episodes devolved into you waiting out alerts which i skipped a lot of. But seeing you fight back, its clear that youre grasping the mechanics a lot better. I feel like you redeemed the playthrough :) Nice job!
I can’t wait for you to finish this game and I’m honestly looking forward to watching you playthrough MGS4 the most. MGS4 ties ALL the previous games you’ve played together and pretty much answers ALL questions about anything you could ask or wonder about from MGS1-3. Can’t wait!
Mata Hari was the stage name for a belly dancer who spied for the Germans during WW1. The lipstick that EVA pulled on Volgin has a bullet in it. It's called the Kiss Of Death. KGB is known for making ingenuity-type weapons. Who here wants to make bets that she'll either dress up as either Paramedic, the Boss or EVA?
@@GoldenLeafsMovies I would like her to do The Boss but I kinda expect EVA. The other games she's been doing "closet cosplays" and EVA would be insanely easy. I don't expect her to make a sneaking suit to be The Boss...
8:10 Cynthia was the codename of Amy Elizabeth Thorpe, who worked successfully as a spy for the Allies during World War II. You should read up on her, she had quite a life. There are actually several ways to mess with Volgin in the fight. He's afraid of live tree frogs, and Russian Glowcaps with divert and absorb his electrical attacks. You can also shoot the red pipes on the overhead walkway, which will spill water and cause damage if he's close enough. You can also throw certain types of food to Ocelot, and he'll trade them for Life Medicine. You can also kill Ocelot and get another Time Paradox. The Cold War Camo makes it so that guards will not fire as long as you're facing them. It makes the bike chase sequence incredibly easy. You don't even have to shoot at the guards; they'll either give up or crash on their own. 1:50:12 Nice sentiment, but I don't think Snake needs another reminder that he lost an eye. The Shagohod's health will actually be lessened depending on how many maintenance workers you killed when you were planting the C3. And it's a shame that you missed that you had the RPG in your inventory. Using the quick reload trick, you can whittle down a quarter of the Shagohod's health during the chase sequence. Seriously, look it up. ,2:09:27 I've always loved Volgin's cheeky grin here. Of _course_ he couldn't be taken out that easily. 2:09:33 I've also always loved how the theme music picks up here; it lets you know that yes, it's finally time to stop running and take this guy out. 2:42:01 And that is my favorite joke in the entire game. It exemplifies exactly the kind of person he is, for better or worse. Anyways, you're in the home stretch! I'd tell you about the cool easter eggs and strategies coming up, but you've probably beaten the game by now. Can't wait to see it!
11:44 they're talking all the time about how close they are to finishing the shagohod.. phase 1 this and phase 2 that.. but "the scientists have the day off today"?! that makes no sense at all^^
The M63! 😢 ...for the bike chase. (RPG in backpack) Whimsy "I wish I had a Stinger, maybe I'll try grenades" 30 Sec left on C3 bomb, Volgin with a wisker of stamina left, Whimsy trying to finish him with Cigarette gas spray aaargh!! Lol😅 AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!! PLEASE DO A HOLD-UP!! You can't go through Mgs2 & 3 without doing a single one, that's illegal!! 😂
The way you handled the final Shagohod phase was INSANE. I never even knew you could run under the Shagohod like that to get Volgin's back. Most people normally shoot the treads first because it leaves Volgin vulnerable, but you found a really clever strat there!
I never did that for the Shagohod, but running underneath MG Rex in MGS1 and then shooting the cockpit from behind and underneath was always my preferred strat.
Maybe I’m showing my age but just a couple decades ago it was extremely rare to find sushi restaurants anywhere but the biggest cities in the US. When I went to St. Louis around 2005 they were proud they had some.
I Think when Eva said about sushi going is a rush today she means that on 70´s Japanese and chinese things are realy a trend in EUA, like with all the movies about karate and kung fu stuff (game pass in late 60´s). I watched a doc about Bruce Lee and they tell it that on that time people are looking for things like meditation and oriental philosophy as well
So glad this episode is already out. 1)Good job with all the headshots Whims very impressive! So in one of the lockers where you got the sneaking uniform, there’s also an engineer uniform you can use to walk freely around where the Shagohod is.
@@WhimsyPsycheafter you beat the game you unlock a demo theater with all the cutscenes. There's a section with bloopers! Would love to get your reaction to all of them!
@@anojahs29 from what we've seen I'm pretty sure Delta will be the exact same game, only with a fresh coat of paint / cosmetic improvements and better controls + crouch walking.
Also Whimsy, after you complete MGS3, YOU GOTTS PLAY Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Its absolutely incredible tying in MGS3: Snake Eater with MGS1 and MGS2: Sons of Liberty. YOU'LL 10/10 LOVE IT!!! -only thing is you need a PS3 and the MSG4 disc to play it - GOOD LUCK and looking forward to seeing you play the 4th Metal Gear Soon!
The thing about Major Tom being abducted by a UFO is I think a reference to Major Tom from Space Oddity, the David Bowie song (also the Major looks like David Bowie)
Sorry to say yes, you already had the RPG a long time ago 💔 since you finished from Volgin and started the Shagohod and you could have had it even before from one of the stores in the mountains before the Fury”
8:35 - His name is now officially 'Horny Hideo'.🥵 Note: That being said Whimsy, feel free to cosplay as EVA in her waterfall bikini.👀 . . . that or cosplay The End with a plastic parrot glued to your head.🦜
Hellow! Can't believe we're about to finish MGS3. Im looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the game. For many it's their favourite of the franchise, but it's more than ok to like others more. Having said that, we're very impressed with how you've handled the gameplay and on hard mode no-less. For a rookie you did well, Meryl would be proud to have your skills when she met Snake. We also hope that you will have the time to post a reaction to the "Metal Gear Solid 3: Secret Theater" which apparently isn't included in the collectors edition. I can already hear the MGS4 title song playing and man, are we excited to see you do some 'wet work'!
Snake: “Eva, I need you.” Eva: “Say that one more time.” Snake: “I need you. I can’t fly the WIG by myself.” “Reject modernity, embrace masculinity.” -Snake The Original Sigma Male
Whimsy 1) you taught me something NEW about the game I didn’t know you can shoot Volgin missiles down with the Scorpion. I always love how you find your own strategy quickly like going under the Shagohod and then shooting him never tried that either. 2) You can always see how kind and genuine your heart is ex. “Curing” Eva first before Snake and your reactions to other gameplay scenes like the Last of Us, there’s not many genuine good hearted people left in this world such as yourself 😊 glad to see that.
The scorpion thing is obvious. However it is impressive she discovered the non-lethal way by going under the shagohod on the first try. I didn't discover it before my third playthrough.
There is a parody of the same game within the same game, it is called "Metal Gear Solid 3: Secret Theater" there is a video on UA-cam that compiles all these moments. I recommend watching it after finishing the game, so you have a good time, it's very funny and shows that a great creator like Hideo Kojima also has the ability to not take himself so seriously and to laugh at himself!
I try as much as I can! But it's difficult because sometimes I just really want a detail oriented cosplay where it's basically exactly like in the game. When that's the case, sometimes I can't reuse that for something else 😭
I'm glad you discovered that the original camera turns cinematic during the chase! I reckon most players would just use the free camera and miss all that. I really love the camera work in the MGS games. Many cinematic games even today don't quite reach that imo. Also iirc, there was a maintenance uniform somewhere in the weapons lab that would've made the C3 stuff a cake walk, haha
There’s no doubt…. I love the fact that you acknowledge that Ocelot is getting shat on…. lol…. btw, this episode in particular reminded perfectly well the way I felt playing this for the first time!!!!!!!!! 2:13:59
So which of the series will you play after this? Perhaps MGS Peacewalker? Would be nice to see a Portable Ops but that could be difficult to set up. Also an Ocelot Cosplay would be so cool. Even though it'd be hard to re-use the clothing for general everyday use.
I love this part of the game so much. To hell with stealth and switching to action movie style with bullets and explosives. It is intense all the way through! Someone said a cardbox cosplay. I hope my wishes come true.
I forgot what an incredible cinematic experience the final act of this game is! Kojima is a Genius. Also, forgot what an ABSOLUTE BANGER MGS3 Main Theme is, when the Shagohod emerges from the Bridge. I am SO excited for Delta! Also, if you notice, Volgin gets hit by lightening the one time he doesn't say "Kuwabara, Kuwabara" when it rains :P (Kuwabara is the Japanese word for Mulberry Tree and there is a myth that lightening never strikes Mulberry, or something like that o.O)
Whimsy your analysis while playing these games is really really good. It’s a pity you never got to be a part of the MGS community in the periods before game releases. Analysing the game trailers before the releases was the most fun part. Sometimes even better than playing the games themselves.
@@gemini2195 I think she's plenty curious and tries things out that aren't out of left field like hitting lockers on a sneaking mission. This game was made to be played more than once, can't figure out all the things on the first playthrough...
The shagohod always just seemed like such a terrible design for a vehicle. Screw drive treads, literally dragging the back two thirds of the vehicle along the ground, it's got to be absolutely shredding the runway as it drives, not to mention it still has the same problems with rocket propelled vehicles in general - they just consume too much fuel to be used for more than a few minutes at best. Plus, 300 miles per hour is nothing compared to the boost provided by an actual first stage rocket
The sound you hear at 58:20 what you reacted on is your wounds heeling by them self’s! If you wait long enough, all your cuts and gunshot wounds heal :) check if you can see bullets lodged in the body when checking the x-ray in cure
1:32:20 Minor bugbear of mine, but someone should have caught Vogin's voice actor (the legendary Neil Ross) mispronouncing his own character's name as "VolJin". It's distracting, having him repeat his name back to Ocelot differently, when he's supposed be conveying annoyance at being addressed so informally by a disobedient subordinate.
@@WhimsyPsyche it'll do a little damage to the Shagohod but I can't remember if that damage carries over to the actual fight. It does help a lot against the motorcycles because you can take multiple out with one rocket. The downside to the RPG is the extremely slow reload but if you double tap R2 while you have it out, you'll unequip/equip it and it'll reload. So, you'll go from like a 10 second reload to half a second. Works with every weapon.
another fun watch, going the non-lethal route for the bosses, aside a possible trophy, which i cant remember if it is non-lethal for just the bosses or the entire game, it is just a fun challenge. the rewards are the same either way, with the exception of only 1 hostile. which i do remember is such a pain in azz to go non-lethal, but 100% worth it. looking forward to the next one!
Great performance on Vol'gin, it's isn't the hardest fight in the game but his set of moves is so varied, it's one of the funniest fight in the serie I think. And he can tank a bit which is good since he's such a punchable Vilain.
Imagine you intend to play a run with 0 soldier killed + shoot all the kerotan plastic frogs , during the motocycle there are 2 or 3 of them to shoot 😅 That sequence is a nightmare to accomplish 😅
I trully love the escape it's so cinematic and cool, especially when Ocelot chased you ! By the way will you someday make a video react of the secret Konami theater?
Whimsy you really be seeing into the mind of Kojima and his ahem, "artistic direction" 😂 If you want to know more you need look no further than the mo-cap actor from MGSV having a "feet mo-cap" session. Kojima really be one of a kind lol
For the Shagohod chase I recommend switching to the old pre-set camera angles since they're more cinematic. Edit: oops she changed it at the end :p In the original PS2 release of MGS3 that was the only possible camera option actually. It didn't have the behind-the-back camera at all. But it didn't take them long to release the full-price PS2 "Snake Eater" edition that added the camera option. It's the edition this re-release is based on. I was one of the suckers who bought both editions, but the new camera made your life so much easier during normal gameplay...

That really makes sense and I never thought of Snake like that…
He has everything, even the hyper focus on stuff of his interest.
Snake: "What is the Philosophers Legacy?"
Volgin: "I'm glad you asked 🤓"
Hahaha exactly!!
Every villain ever: "Very well, I'll explain it before I kill you"
"Do you expect me to talk?"
"No, I will!"
If the game didn't want us to get spotted, they shouldn't have made the alert music so good
TRUUUUE

So Whimsy, as a Nurse remeber to use Cure screen with patients! 😆 Waiting for the cardboard box cosplay.
1:45:35 it hurts watching her do circles around the Mk22 ammo box while being out 🥲
2:09:35 When that music starts instant goosebumps. So good!
Hearing you sing I had Snake's voice in my head "You're pretty good!" Hitting those high notes and vibrato!
Aww thank you so much!!
Seeing you get the satisfaction of planting the C3’s stealthily is exactly what I hoped to see more of in this playthrough. There’s no shame in dying to start over. It’s much worse watching you reduced to just killing everyone.
Meeeh I don't know, there are so many different ways to play this game, none is more fun than the other imo 😊 But to each their own!
lol i always bail and kms every time things start not going my way.
luckily they give us a pill for that
I agree! In my opinion playing metal gear solid without stealth is like eating fries without salt. To each their own tho
One nice detail when you're looking at EVA with R1 before the Shagohod fight is that Snake is actually looking her in the eyes this time....
Ok that does it, we need a Whimsy cover of Snake Eater in the last episode
I need to find the courage to post that 💀
Whimsy is surprisingly pretty good!
No we don't. Stop. -_-
@@Trolldamere hater detected, opinion rejected
Hahah it's okay, I would make it a standalone video anyway, so no need for anyone to watch it 🤣
When we take care of EVA after the accident, we can check in the survival viewer all her medical and surgery past, (even before the mission Snake Eater) with the R1 Button.
If you press R1 on when viewing the uniform camouflage, it tells you what special effects they have
“I don’t think I got the RPG-7”
Girl, you just got the achievement for getting all the weapons and read it out loud. 😂
1:52:07 "Can we beat the Shagohod non-lethally?" That’s what this game does to you-you want to finish the pure metal, non-lethally!

Same for the noodles, i think
Actually traditional Sushi is pretty simplistic in Japan compared to what the USA knows as "Sushi"
The butterfly thing is to show that he doesn't have depth of field anymore due to his missing eye.

Great video, and great series!
Hahaha thank you Prez!!
The motorcycle chase was meant for the machine gun. If snake keeps firing the machine gun he will start yelling.
He can't grab the butterfly in the cave scene with Eva because, with only one eye, he doesn't have depth perception anymore
i think he still does, but A shitty one at that!!!
Yeah no shit 💀. Thanks for your acute observation there chief 🤣

Mata Hari was the stage name for a belly dancer who spied for the Germans during WW1.
The lipstick that EVA pulled on Volgin has a bullet in it. It's called the Kiss Of Death. KGB is known for making ingenuity-type weapons.
Who here wants to make bets that she'll either dress up as either Paramedic, the Boss or EVA?
and "the least you can do is call me Cynthia" is probably a reference to Amy Elizabeth Thorpe codename, a now famous spy in World War II.
Cardboard box cosplay ?
Or Kerotan frog...or Tsuchinoko (which she didn't get)
She's gonna cosplay as the Boss, cause all her MGS cosplays meet their fate...

I Think when Eva said about sushi going is a rush today she means that on 70´s Japanese and chinese things are realy a trend in EUA, like with all the movies about karate and kung fu stuff (game pass in late 60´s). I watched a doc about Bruce Lee and they tell it that on that time people are looking for things like meditation and oriental philosophy as well
I get chills everytime I see someone play the Shagohod chase sequence - ITS SO GOOD AND EPIC.
So glad this episode is already out. 1)Good job with all the headshots Whims very impressive! So in one of the lockers where you got the sneaking uniform, there’s also an engineer uniform you can use to walk freely around where the Shagohod is.
No waaay that would've made my life so much easier lmaooo
@@WhimsyPsyche I know sorry, maybe next time lol or maybe for Delta if they keep some things the same or similar.
@@WhimsyPsycheafter you beat the game you unlock a demo theater with all the cutscenes. There's a section with bloopers! Would love to get your reaction to all of them!
@@anojahs29 from what we've seen I'm pretty sure Delta will be the exact same game, only with a fresh coat of paint / cosmetic improvements and better controls + crouch walking.
Also Whimsy, after you complete MGS3, YOU GOTTS PLAY Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Its absolutely incredible tying in MGS3: Snake Eater with MGS1 and MGS2: Sons of Liberty. YOU'LL 10/10 LOVE IT!!! -only thing is you need a PS3 and the MSG4 disc to play it - GOOD LUCK and looking forward to seeing you play the 4th Metal Gear Soon!
Your headshots are really on point, Whimsy! Very satisfying to watch.
Aaah thank you so much, they felt so good to do 🤣
The thing about Major Tom being abducted by a UFO is I think a reference to Major Tom from Space Oddity, the David Bowie song (also the Major looks like David Bowie)
I think it's also a reference to MGS2 where colonel mentions something like that when he starts rambling nonsense.
Your face when the shagahod survived the bridge collapse xD hahahaha. Always nice to see a new MGS fan !
oh man seeing you playing with all the action reminded me the old good days thanks whimsy love from Dubai
1:17:54 the face she makes at Ocelot’s antics has me rolling lol
The finale to this game is probably my favorite ending of all time
Sorry to say yes, you already had the RPG a long time ago 💔
since you finished from Volgin and started the Shagohod
and you could have had it even before from one of the stores in the mountains before the Fury”
Solid snake is an extrovert, but dad snake is an introvert
8:35 - His name is now officially 'Horny Hideo'.🥵
Note: That being said Whimsy, feel free to cosplay as EVA in her waterfall bikini.👀
. . . that or cosplay The End with a plastic parrot glued to your head.🦜
You're wishing for two opposites ends lmao 🤣🤣
Yooo!!!😂
You got strange tastes, my dude XD
Hellow! Can't believe we're about to finish MGS3. Im looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the game. For many it's their favourite of the franchise, but it's more than ok to like others more. Having said that, we're very impressed with how you've handled the gameplay and on hard mode no-less. For a rookie you did well, Meryl would be proud to have your skills when she met Snake. We also hope that you will have the time to post a reaction to the "Metal Gear Solid 3: Secret Theater" which apparently isn't included in the collectors edition. I can already hear the MGS4 title song playing and man, are we excited to see you do some 'wet work'!
Snake: “Eva, I need you.”
Eva: “Say that one more time.”
Snake: “I need you. I can’t fly the WIG by myself.”
“Reject modernity, embrace masculinity.”
-Snake The Original Sigma Male
I’m just gonna say this without confirming or denying anything, but you are *so* smart it’s so satisfying to see you figure things out in the plot ^v^
Totally agree, I can't wait to see her trying to solve mgs4
1:17:47 "wait, while I twirl my guns around for a bit" he's such a child lol
Thanks for the performance of the song, now I can die happy! ;D
Whimsy 1) you taught me something NEW about the game I didn’t know you can shoot Volgin missiles down with the Scorpion. I always love how you find your own strategy quickly like going under the Shagohod and then shooting him never tried that either. 2) You can always see how kind and genuine your heart is ex. “Curing” Eva first before Snake and your reactions to other gameplay scenes like the Last of Us, there’s not many genuine good hearted people left in this world such as yourself 😊 glad to see that.
The scorpion thing is obvious. However it is impressive she discovered the non-lethal way by going under the shagohod on the first try. I didn't discover it before my third playthrough.
Aww thank you so much, that's very kind 🥰
Is there even a reward for beating the Shagohod non lethally? 😭
@@WhimsyPsyche not that I know of No, I don’t think you can since it doesn’t have a stamina gage.
Oh I meant the Volgin shagohod mix, he does have that stamina gauge. I wonder...
@@WhimsyPsyche no there is no reward for that. Good job by the way.
The Whimsy voice is 🔥 you need to sing the song in the game ending, that will be the perfect ending.
can't wait to see you play "The PEACE WALKER incident"😁
the use of cig spray on volgin is a funny and interesting tactic
2:41:51
On of the best lines in the game:
Snake: “I can’t fly the WIG by myself.” Snake makes two ladies laugh. lol
There is a parody of the same game within the same game, it is called "Metal Gear Solid 3: Secret Theater" there is a video on UA-cam that compiles all these moments.
I recommend watching it after finishing the game, so you have a good time, it's very funny and shows that a great creator like Hideo Kojima also has the ability to not take himself so seriously and to laugh at himself!
I would love to have a wardrobe full of "cosplay outfits" that double as my actual wear. That's so smart!
I try as much as I can! But it's difficult because sometimes I just really want a detail oriented cosplay where it's basically exactly like in the game. When that's the case, sometimes I can't reuse that for something else 😭
I'm glad you discovered that the original camera turns cinematic during the chase! I reckon most players would just use the free camera and miss all that. I really love the camera work in the MGS games. Many cinematic games even today don't quite reach that imo.
Also iirc, there was a maintenance uniform somewhere in the weapons lab that would've made the C3 stuff a cake walk, haha
Happy MGS day y’all! I am getting SO PUMPED for MGS4GOTP
it will be a banger, all the plot twists for her to digest
@@Yebacheck I’m super excited lol
Whimsy you never fail to amaze & always bring the joyful enthusiasm to every playthrough you play thank you & i sending you The chef's kiss 💖🌻🐝🌻🐝🙏
There’s no doubt…. I love the fact that you acknowledge that Ocelot is getting shat on…. lol…. btw, this episode in particular reminded perfectly well the way I felt playing this for the first time!!!!!!!!! 2:13:59
Hahah I'm so glad!!
as an og fan i still get goosebumps hearing that song.
So which of the series will you play after this? Perhaps MGS Peacewalker? Would be nice to see a Portable Ops but that could be difficult to set up.
Also an Ocelot Cosplay would be so cool. Even though it'd be hard to re-use the clothing for general everyday use.
2:39:48 I remember telling my self that this should've been part of a Twix commercial "need a moment? Chew it over with Twix"
I love this part of the game so much. To hell with stealth and switching to action movie style with bullets and explosives. It is intense all the way through!
Someone said a cardbox cosplay. I hope my wishes come true.
looking forward for Friday! I'm gonna loot up with popcorn and beer :))
So glad you pressed R3 for the motorcycle chase, makes it much more cinematic!
I forgot what an incredible cinematic experience the final act of this game is! Kojima is a Genius. Also, forgot what an ABSOLUTE BANGER MGS3 Main Theme is, when the Shagohod emerges from the Bridge. I am SO excited for Delta!
Also, if you notice, Volgin gets hit by lightening the one time he doesn't say "Kuwabara, Kuwabara" when it rains :P (Kuwabara is the Japanese word for Mulberry Tree and there is a myth that lightening never strikes Mulberry, or something like that o.O)
Whimsy your analysis while playing these games is really really good. It’s a pity you never got to be a part of the MGS community in the periods before game releases. Analysing the game trailers before the releases was the most fun part. Sometimes even better than playing the games themselves.
Late viewer here, but watching you takedown throw Volgin and then proceed to Vape in his face is the most hilarious way ive seen someone fight this
you have to break the doors of locker rooms that don't open with grenades, you missed uniforms and objects....
Yeah, she plays like it's her first playthrough... oh wait, IT IS!
@@GamePaddyPat You have to be curious in this game...
@@gemini2195 I think she's plenty curious and tries things out that aren't out of left field like hitting lockers on a sneaking mission. This game was made to be played more than once, can't figure out all the things on the first playthrough...
@@GamePaddyPat right.
The shagohod always just seemed like such a terrible design for a vehicle. Screw drive treads, literally dragging the back two thirds of the vehicle along the ground, it's got to be absolutely shredding the runway as it drives, not to mention it still has the same problems with rocket propelled vehicles in general - they just consume too much fuel to be used for more than a few minutes at best.
Plus, 300 miles per hour is nothing compared to the boost provided by an actual first stage rocket
The back actually hovers a bit above the ground utilizing the ground effect. The screw treads though...that's gotta be bad for the pavement lol
The sound you hear at 58:20 what you reacted on is your wounds heeling by them self’s! If you wait long enough, all your cuts and gunshot wounds heal :) check if you can see bullets lodged in the body when checking the x-ray in cure
Been looking forward to this, keep it up! Can't wait for the next episode
23:29 That sequence of headshots tho 🙀
1:32:20 Minor bugbear of mine, but someone should have caught Vogin's voice actor (the legendary Neil Ross) mispronouncing his own character's name as "VolJin". It's distracting, having him repeat his name back to Ocelot differently, when he's supposed be conveying annoyance at being addressed so informally by a disobedient subordinate.
Yeah, that one always bugged me, too.
Yeah that one is odd, heh.
Has unlimited ammo during motorcycle sequence...doesn't equip RPG...
I honestly had not seen I had it!! 🤣 Would it have helped that much? I feel like for the motorcycles following you it's better to use a gun no?
@@WhimsyPsyche it'll do a little damage to the Shagohod but I can't remember if that damage carries over to the actual fight. It does help a lot against the motorcycles because you can take multiple out with one rocket. The downside to the RPG is the extremely slow reload but if you double tap R2 while you have it out, you'll unequip/equip it and it'll reload. So, you'll go from like a 10 second reload to half a second. Works with every weapon.
another fun watch, going the non-lethal route for the bosses, aside a possible trophy, which i cant remember if it is non-lethal for just the bosses or the entire game, it is just a fun challenge. the rewards are the same either way, with the exception of only 1 hostile. which i do remember is such a pain in azz to go non-lethal, but 100% worth it. looking forward to the next one!
I really hopping to see Whimsy react to Ocelot camo (leopard dots) in a extra or something.
1:47:42 actually you can shoot him anytime. Just have to be from the sides or the back.
Great performance on Vol'gin, it's isn't the hardest fight in the game but his set of moves is so varied, it's one of the funniest fight in the serie I think.
And he can tank a bit which is good since he's such a punchable Vilain.
Imagine you intend to play a run with 0 soldier killed + shoot all the kerotan plastic frogs , during the motocycle there are 2 or 3 of them to shoot 😅
That sequence is a nightmare to accomplish 😅
11:03 Wow, Eva's Superman Disguise really works! Ngl
Throwing a frog at Volgin frraks him out as well. I did NOT KNOW you could donthe same with Raikov's mask, too 😅
Whims really didn’t entire chase sequences without using the rpg! Boss!!! Haha
Should we tell her about the quick reload?
Haha I find out about it in this very video with the RPG!
8:50 Sushi is old.
It’s new for them. They have never eaten it.
I hope you dress as Sigint for the final episode cosplay
What an amazing game, I enjoyed it so much as a child ... 😢
I trully love the escape it's so cinematic and cool, especially when Ocelot chased you ! By the way will you someday make a video react of the secret Konami theater?
Eva gives you the rpg-7 at the beginning of the motorcycle section
Whimsy you really be seeing into the mind of Kojima and his ahem, "artistic direction" 😂
If you want to know more you need look no further than the mo-cap actor from MGSV having a "feet mo-cap" session.
Kojima really be one of a kind lol
For the Shagohod chase I recommend switching to the old pre-set camera angles since they're more cinematic. Edit: oops she changed it at the end :p In the original PS2 release of MGS3 that was the only possible camera option actually. It didn't have the behind-the-back camera at all. But it didn't take them long to release the full-price PS2 "Snake Eater" edition that added the camera option. It's the edition this re-release is based on. I was one of the suckers who bought both editions, but the new camera made your life so much easier during normal gameplay...
Ok, I need a cover of this stat!! As a singer myself, that’s not bad at all!! Please do a cover!!!
It's going to be Eva!!!! Or, you could throw us a curve ball and do Ocelot! LMAOO!!
