Metal Gear as a whole, has such a tragic war story that gets close to poetry. Totally worth watching their gaming "movies" on youtube.
1,2, and 3 maybe, 4 might be too much, 5's story is trash.
@@davidsomoza 5's is also good, it's just the culmination of the series. You can't understand the significance of anything unless you played literally all the others first.
That and listen to all the tapes, find all the text documents, overhear specific conversations, and interrogate the right people. So difficult to do.
@@davidsomoza Something tells me you didn't get 5's story. It didn't turn out as good as it could have, because of Konamai, but it was still great, better than 4's.
I guess that depends on taste. Most of Kojima's games are extremely well written but borderline cartoonish and long winded with their plots which but itself can be a turn off. I mean 4 had what? 2-3 hours of game and 7 hours of cutsences and it's about a clone and a ninja saving the world for giant robots and a possessed cowboy. That Let's Destroy Metal Gear comic series didn't really change much from the real plot.
Well, it’s also simultaneously cartoony as hell. Lmao
Imagine making a fantastic game of war, showing all the pain, casualties and effects of war, bur having to censor any blood and guts. Hideo Kojima had to deal with a lot of rules and censorship thanks to the strictness of Japan. Glad he was able to create this before he left.
Also, unfortunately David Hayter wasn't asked to return to voice Snake. There's a reason why.
That's exactly what he did with MGS Peace Walker because the PSP had a lot of kids in its demographic. Censorship is just fucking cancer.
@@ganganthefatman1382 still peace Walker was my favourite by far, 5 would have been like peacewalker times 10 but they scraped way too much and tied kojimas hands to much
David Hayter was called because if you played the game this isn't Snake. There's a reason Kojima did all of this.
@@pixytorres7117 Japanese Snake wasn't replaced.
Liquid has his own voice, Solidus has his own voice and Solid Snake has his own voice, there's no reason Big Boss shouldn't have his own either.
One of the best trailers ever made. I'm glad you both experienced it.
It was great 🤩
Too bad the story we were promised in the trailers wasnt what we got at all.
It was the best out of all the trailers they did for this game
I clicked instantly!
Some info for y’all:
Kaz is the right hand man who runs mother base
The Main Character is Venom Snake i won’t spoil it but there is a twist for his character
Quiet breathes through her skin that is why she is wearing a bikini basically. She also has super human strength and speed
The Blonde Kid is Liquid Snake a clone of Big Boss.
The Man on Fire is someone from MGS3 Snake Eater
The game’s story is basically about revenge for what happened to them in MGSV Ground Zeroes.
If you plan on playing/watching
The order is: MGS3, MGS Peace Walker, MGSV Ground Zeroes, MGSV Phantom Pain, Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, MGS1, MGS2, and finally MGS4 Guns of the Patriots. Personally i don’t think you need to watch them in chronological order because that will basically spoil stuff
Same, mgs fan for life🔥🔥🔥
Does acid fit in the timeline?
@@alejandrogamez9866 Acid is a spin off that shares 0 characters or locations. And nothing in acid affects the rest of the world, or vice versa. Technically it's after MGS2, but since it's completely insignificant, it doesn't matter when.
@@alejandrogamez9866 nope does not really matter.
Quiet turns invisible too IIRC.
This game was amazing dark but amazing
😎🤟
This game was indeed amazing except for that one mission “where the bees sleep” where I got killed by a chopper *ALOT*
It's interesting that you spoke Hungarian and watched the MGSV trailer. Speaking different languages is a prominent aspect of MGSV, and Hungarian has a small, but important role in the plot. If you know, you _know._ In any case, I've been a huge fan of the series ever since playing MGS1 back in 1998. It was even one of the games that got me into reviewing. MGSV isn't my favorite game in the series; MGS2 and 3 have more compelling stories, more interesting characters, and better pacing. But the gameplay in MGSV is by far the best. Being able to infiltrate a massive area from multiple angles, with different loadouts, in different lighting and weather conditions is incredible. It would've been amazing to see this game engine used more, but it wasn't meant to be...
yep, the story was a convoluted mess although I found the language theme very interesting, the graphics and open world and sheer amount of options you have in this game are amazing. a little sad we just have two big maps to play around in, I would have liked to see some more scenic variety.
Shame it couldn’t get finished. But it was an amazing trailer that made us want to explore this franchise more 🙂
@@Luemm3l It involves a LOT of call-backs to things a lot of people probably forget, and it feels like a convoluted mess until you finish the whole thing and start piecing the inconsistencies together. Granted, I don't blame people for finding the confusion off-putting. Kojima has been pushing the DEPTH a little far since MGS3, to the point people said 4 was a disjointed mess of 'IDGAF'.
@Polymathically Psalm 22 "My God My God why have you forsaken me?.... bulls of bashan surround me they pierce my hands and feet.... they cast lots for my garments... "“He trusts in the Lord,” they say,
“let the Lord rescue him.(R)
Let him deliver him,(S)
since he delights(T) in him.” "I am poured out like water" etc like with other passages in the psalms, genesis, (including theophany appearances in the torah) Isaiah, Zechariah, Daniel, Proverbs etc are considered messianic in rabbinic Judaism as the suffering servant messiah Ben Joseph, and to Christianity as Yeshua, Jesus bless you ❤
Edit: To expand on this is of course Isaiah 53 where you have the servant being crushed by God as an offering for sin for others, who dies and sees life and his seed afterwards, who dies with thieves and in a rich man's tomb, and who was despised and rejected, so why there is a common view of two messiahs, Ben yosef and Ben David, one messiah as the suffering servant and another as the conqueror who sets up the kingdom. Isaiah 52 the messiah draws Israel back to himself.
Some fun and sad things are like people would say Jesus didn't exist despite Tacitus, Suetonius, Pliny the younger, Lucian etc and the apostles writings and the successors/church fathers of the apostles/bishops writings and josephus, because "Nazareth doesn't exist" until of course Nazareth was discovered, or another one, "there was no synagogue in capnernaum" until we found it, or Thomas Payne in age of reason "Bible is false because there were no kings during Jesus's time" until we found King Herod Agrippa's coins, or "Jesus wasn't buried in a tomb because crucifixion victims weren't buried in tombs" until we found crucifixion victims with the nails still in tombs in tombs.
More cool things, are Jesus sweating blood in the garden of Gethsemane, this is a real phenomenon called Hematidrosis where death row inmates sweat blood, also another when Jesus is pierced and water and blood come out this actually happens when water builds around the lungs, it confused some early church fathers on the spiritual meaning, but it's a real phenomenon that occurs as well. Many rabbis into gematria etc say there is a curse upon reading Daniel 9 because it says Messiah The Prince must come and bring in eternal righteousness before the destruction of Solomon's temple, no wonder they say that as then if Messiah didn't come before 70 a.d. there is no messiah, those who have divided messiah into two were confused if the messiah would come riding on a donkey or horse, so the two messiahs, as opposed to the jews who believe in Jesus and himself, who state himself and two arrivals. Of course this is why Islam falls quickly because while they call Jesus messiah they don't understand what it means, and Muhammad of course denied the historical fact of Jesus dying by crucifixion (Which besides tacitus mentioning pontius pilate doing it to him, we even have an inscription that was uncovered oh pilate and dates lining up with his time being the procurator/prefect over Jerusalem) besides Muhammad being the total opposite of Jesus, Muhammad had sex with his child bride Aisha who was nine, he beheaded and crucified people, said not to trust jews and Christians, he had Ethiopian slaves and called them raisin heads, he called jews monkeys and rats, he slaughtered villages and the wives of families he killed said you can take them and have sex with them, he got caught having sex with his slave by Aisha and said he would not do it anymore then conveniently "Allah" comes and says it's fine and he can, he's a textbook false prophet, with of course takiyah being they will lie to you about what I said above, Islam is meant to subjugate the world I'd into belief by force, if you don't convert you must pay a tax, if you don't pay it you die. Allah has no love for unbelievers unlike Jesus who loves his enemies and we are meant to love all even to death, I'd write more but youtube doesn't like long messages, with eastern thought eternal universe doesn't fit the mold because and infinite amount of successive events becoming then impossible to have the present, we would never reach today because we would always have a yesterday or event before this moment, an immaterial, spaceless, timeless, mind (agency) bringing space-time into reality, is the best explanation for why anything exists including someone as amazing and as lovely as yourself 😊 So the disciples who say "For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty." And "13If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is worthless, and so is your faith. 15In that case, we are also exposed as false witnesses about God. For we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead, but He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised.
16For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised. 17And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. 18Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19If our hope in Christ is for this life alone, we are to be pitied more than all men. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep." Since the witnesses knew whether or not they were lying and knew what it would mean to continue to say he did in fact rise and is the Messiah and God in the flesh then yes I believe them as The Messiah had to come during that time, a mind/agency creating the universe is the best cause for reality, Jesus is the most moral, truthful and charismatic and loving and honest person there is, and the most important and influential, (Buddha said he was still searching for truth, Jesus say, "I am the truth, the way and the life") Jesus gives us love and salvation as a gift without earned merit by us, not working our way to the truth or God or eternal destiny through every other religious and spiritual framework, he loves you and cares so much for you before he created you and wants a living relationship with you here and now not just after you die 😊 There's a million other things to cover that I want to say but this is probably a good stopping point but Jesis wants to remove the shadow in your life and Jesus wants you as you are right now he wants your heart and to live in you and you to know his love personally 😊 I had people prophesy over me very specific things nobody else knew about my past, things I was thinking or experienced even just the day before, Jesus healed me of sleep paralysis I had for years, depression and loneliness, I had a dream of a woman named Heather and a voice telling me their dad had died, a couple days later i meet them and they tell me about how they had just lost their dad that week, I feel God telling me to sit down and close my eyes and I see an outline of someone going to the bathroom very bizarre, then shortly after someone out of the blue asking me to pray for them as they are having trouble going to the bathroom, another was I ask Jesus alone "are you my buddy?" A couple hours later someone contacts me and they say "Yes Jesus is saying yes he is your buddy" another time was I obsessing a little over this blue suit and someone prophecies "I see you in this blue suit" etc, another time I was testing this whole thing and I'm about to be prophecied over and I have my Google notes out I had tried writing out a little story and it was about a fire and forest being burnt down and I ask God to confirm if he wants me to write this and sort of as a test because everything had been scary accurate and the person right after says "God wants you to be his little stick lit ablaze with his love, it may not seem like much but one small flame can burn down a whole forest" 😂 another one was I had this. Surreal vision looking at stars, shortly after someone messages me saying Jesus is looking at a telescope with you saying to you "everything I have is yours even the stars" another one I was in the bathroom asking God for a message for my friend Moses in Nigeria and as I'm leaving the bathroom i freeze in place and go into this bizarre trance like Peter in the book of acts and I see my friend Moses as a child playing with a toy firetruck and Jesus sitting next to him with love, I quickly tell them and they are in shock as they had just thrown away that toy that same day, another time I had gotten a word from God about someone close to me who hadn't accepted Jesus and that they had been praying to God secretly, I told them that and the look on their face was priceless as I had no idea they had been praying to God at all, they were shook 😄 this is only a handful of many a 100 times in just the last 12 months after 5 years of me being born again, there's so many more amazing things that have happened but you are beautiful and desired of God, he is a gentleman and will not force you to choose him or love him but he loves so so much, he's asking you if you will come, he will love you and cherish you everyday of your life, he will never abandon you, I beg you to take a chance and not reject God's love for you, he wants to heal you and you to enjoy a living relationship between you, God bless you so much, Jesus says to come to him for rest your weary soul he is humble and meek and tender and gentle, he loves you so much he knows everything about you, nothing about you is unimportant to him 😭❤❤ If you repent and call on his name you will be saved from hell and Jesus's wrath and judgement for all have sinned!! ❤ For God so loved The World that gave his only begotten son that whoever should believe in him will not perish but have eternal life!! 💙🙌🏻 repent all have sinned and fallen short!!❤️🔥❤♥️
✝️🙏❤️
If you want to go chronological (which I don't recommend but isn't a terrible decision) then you'll be wanting:
(Naked Snake Era:)
1. MGS 3
2. Peace Walker
3. MGS V: Ground Zeroes
4. MGS V: The Phantom Pain
(Solid Snake Era:)
5. Metal Gear Solid
6. MGS 2
7. MGS 4
(Raiden Era (optional, is a direct sequel but is thematically it's own thing):)
8. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
Release order is something I'd more readily recommend, which goes:
1. Metal Gear Solid
2. MGS 2
3. MGS 3
4. MGS 4
5. Peace Walker
5a. (Optional: Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance)
6. MGS V: Ground Zeroes
7. MGS V: The Phantom Pain
Best list
Thanks for sharing both lists with us 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames No problem! Enjoy :)
I’m glad you two are getting into Metal Gear Solid. It’s a very good series.
There are some very good trailers like MGSV E3 2014 “Nuclear” trailer and the 2005 trailer for MGS4.
And if you’re planning on doing journeys on the series, grab some popcorn, because they are lllooooooooooooonnnngggg!
Enjoy! :)
Haha, yeah we saw a quick peak at some videos and they are indeed quite long 😅
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames mostly because Kojima's characters like to monologue. Like, a lot. Not in a sense "Wow, that's long", but "Well, shit, i kinda forgot begining of the speech. Also, what was i doing and what year is it"
Hopefully there are some good cutscene movies for MGS. The series lives rent free in my head. That said, Hideo Kojima absolutely makes sure every game he's made in this series is canonical, the games first came out on consoles from the 1980s, or something like that. Even when MGS1 came out on the PS1, and was probably the first game that everyone got into, Hideo didn't do a soft reboot or anything, he made explicit call backs to the beginning, even as the plot became more intricate.
A lot of people say "play it chronologically", which is fine, I guess, but I prefer it in release order, 1-5, plus the side games, because Hideo obviously was creating new plot as he went along, and the prequels work well as callbacks that create more depth in the older games. It's not a perfect series, but it is pretty cool.
Yeah do release order. You have questions as you play them in release order, and those are also answered in release order, because Kojima made them like movie sequels.
It seems weird to recommend playing them chronologically when the games build on each other.
It’s good to get this feedback on how to experience the game. For Devil May Cry it seemed to work better chronologically but it seems like these games should be experienced in release order 🤔🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames indeed release order
Incorrect. Not every Metal Gear game Kojima made is canonical.
You're forgetting Metal Gear Ac!d, which is NOT canon.
Sure, it was a shortlived series, but it is part of the Metal Gear franchise and not canon to the main timeline and was produced by Kojima.
Oh and the Xrays are showing you all of the damage in Venom Snake's body. If you look at all the white areas, those are shrapnel and fragments embedded in his body. Most notably the "horn" on his head which is a fragment of bone embedded in his skull from another soldier who was in the explosion with him. That bone fragment seemingly causes him to hallucinate and lose colour perception (a mechanic which was supposed to play a greater role in parts of the game that went unfinished)
Seeing just a little of this trailer brings the feeling back. Won't stop hurting.
My brother and I went to an anime convention in 2008, and he and I talked about Metal Gear the whole car ride. He wanted to know more about it, because at the time, I was the only person he knew who played it, and I had the reputation of beating 1, 2, and 3 non-violently (where applicable). It was kind of a 'secret achievement' to beat a Metal Gear game non-violently, or with no alerts (not being spotted). Safe to say, I was kind of an expert. The car ride from our town to the con was 6 hours, and I was able to explain MGS 1 and 3 in the SIX HOURS of time we had in the car. That's how complex the story-telling in these games is. I then explained 2 on the car ride back. Explaining MGS4 would have taken the round trip to explain.
You could make a movie just explaining the plot, minus cliff-hangers, red herrings, twists and call-backs without delving into character motivations or any of the five or six deep-rooted military conspiracies woven into the series. Kojima broke the mold on deep and rich story-telling across the entire canon series of Metal Gear Solid. It's not for the faint of heart, because he spares no words on how horrifying and gut-wrenching he sees war as being. It will depress you and scar you, but you will never see anything as amazing as this franchise.
Damn. Very good selling points for this game. 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames It indeed is. Kojima has a way with telling stories. One of my favorite game directors out there. Miyazaki (from Dark Souls, Elden Ring and Bloodborne) is a close second.
Agreed, this was the best experience of storytelling. And I've read many books.
"I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-Kiri Rock. I NEED SCISSORS 61 !!!!
-Colonel
MGS2 (2001)
Those who know......they know lol
'Colonel'
Greatest cinematic games ever. Also, the most confusing as well. I remember playing them and being in awe, amazingment, and totally confused the whole time. 100% worth the play time
😎🤟🤩
if only Konami let Kojima finish MGSV it would be absolute masterpiece....the game was rushed so the last 30% portion feels wrong
Also, a lot of people will tell you that this game is unfinished, and it is. But I posit that it's better this way. A Phantom Pain is when you feel the pain of something taken away from you, something that every major character in this game feels. Is it not also wonderful storytelling that the *game itself* makes the *player* feel the pain of missing something?
Kojima is always meta with his games, he's stated that the game is feature complete so I wouldn't be surprised if it feels unfinished on purpose to live up to what you said, the feeling of having something taken away and it feeling like it should still be there.
@@alexanderson4497 This just seems like cope. The reality is that Konami sabotaged him and pushed him out before he could complete the game.
@@mechanomics2649 But...but...Pachinko machines!
That’s a nice way of looking at it 🙂
MGSV wasn’t the best of the franchise, but that’s because of corporate bs that limited the producer Kojima from finishing his vision. Not long after he was fired from the company. It was a huge debate, but I’d be lying if I said all metal gear fans didn’t go crazy over this trailer. It was hyped. Y’all should check out the other games.
Plan to check out more from the series 🙂
Oh, if you start going through the Metal Gear series, be prepared to feel emotions, a lot of emotions.
Looking forward to it 🙂🥲😭😡😁
The lore goes insanely deep with these games, I was lucky enough to play Metal Gear Solid when I was a kid, and play each one there on (still missed the nes one) so I could understand what's going on. To put it into some iota of perspective, Metal Gear Solid 4 has 8 hours of cutscenes, one of which is non-stop 70 minutes long. Trying to explain the lore is damn near impossible haha. Keep checking it out if you're enjoying it!
Man. We are in for a long journey trying to wrap our heads around this franchise 🤯
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Long story short, it's all a metaphor for the players' psychological relationships with war games and cool characters (not kidding). MGS 1-5 explore that in various ways, while on the surface, there is a thick set of plots involving twists and turns and discussions on modern topics. (Modern at the time, mostly still relevant today. Some parts even moreso.)
For maximum ease of playability and understanding of the plot, and minimum surprise spoilers, play the games in real-world order. MGS 1,2,3,4,5. Following the in-game chronology (as others often suggest) would be different, and that would take away the effect of not knowing the answers until they are revealed in a satisfying way. The prequels are actually answering questions left open on purpose in earlier games, and without that shock from the revelation, given on queue, the effect is mostly lost. It's like being told Darth Vader is Luke's father before you even meet Luke Skywalker. The Empire Strikes Back is almost entirely wasted then.
you look METAL GEAR RISING | Hideo Kojima Cut Trailer?
Please watch Friday Night Funkin - Twinsomnia and Elden Ring are all bosses.
Metal gear solid 5...the best
But metal gear rising.....best and memable
Old game, old reaction, loved it! She was spot on. This series is still amazing.
I remember my favorite cutscene of all time was from this game. It had something to do with Quiet and an enemy fighter jet^^
that's what i love about the MGS. even with the more fantastical elements, it's a story about war: what it does to the world, what it does to people, what it does to history and what it does to those who fight those wars. it strips away the glamour of war and shows it in all of its stupidity and ugliness. and at the center of it are solider, men and women fighting for countries that often don't care about them and for governments who use them for their own gains and then tosses them away. then it asks "what is the point of loyalty to your nation when your nation isn't loyal to you?"
that's why solid snake is a gaming icon. not just for the bad ass things he's done but for his growth as a character. he went from a solider who always followed order to a man who, despite being an outlaw, fought for what he believed: making a better world for those who come after him.
hideo kojima isn't heralded as one of, if not the greatest game director of all time for no reason. you wanna know how damn good he is? listen to the final codec conversation in MGS2. and keep in mind, that game came out over 20 years ago.
That codec call and the conversation just before the final boss fight (you know the one) shaped the very beginnings of my philosophy on the role of government at a very young age. Of course, as time moves on, things change, and the reasoning becomes more complex and reasoned, but the core belief remains the same. Kojima, in about five minutes of game dialogue, lays out one of the strongest socio-political treatises I've ever heard... As a freakin' PLOT POINT.
My word I have forgotten how epic the trailer was for this game. Hands down top 10 best of all time for me. Up their with Red Dead 2 and Witcher 3.
😎🤟🤩
you should NEVER EVER PLAY METAL GEAR SOLID GAMES IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER........
who ever told you to do that is dead wrong, if you are playing for the first time play them as they came out.......if you do not you will lose some of the over all feeling and story of the game. its made to play out of order
We have been corrected 🙂
It's a wonderful story, but sadly unfinished... forever wishing they'll continue it,,
Bummer it was left unfinished ☹️
This series is great i played 4 an 5 but If you watch the cutscenes you're gunna be a little lost ,Kojima can tell good even amazing stories but he just has so much going on in his head he ,at least in my opinion doesn't get it all on screen very well I mean I know people who have played every game in this series and don't know 100% what's going on
Confusion is a natural state for us so we are prepared 😜
Saying Ocelot reminds you of a western is actually accurate because Kojima is a big fan of westerns, so he made Ocelot wear boots, spurs, duster coat, and have his weapon of choice be revolvers.
Yeah, Lee Van Cleef was the inspiration for Ocelot. Kojima took a lot from the Dollars Trilogy, which you could find throughout the entire saga.
Nice! 🤠
Also shameless reminder battlefield 1 11 minute "the runner" all cutscenes and dead rising 2 cutscenes with dlc! I know it's on the list but hey here's a cheeseburger 🍔 for me being annoying :p
Thanks for the reminder and the cheeseburger 😋🥳
This trailer is one of the greatest videogame trailers ever created. The soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful, and the imagery is incredibly dark. The underlying theme of men becoming demons, with Snake returning the child soldier's diamonds before seemingly opening fire on them is incredible. More people need to react to this trailer.
I remember the controversy of the part where he opens fires. Some people thinking he actually fired on a group of child soldiers.
It’s definitely a trailer people should see 🤩
Not to mention, Sins of the Father is an amazing track.
"Ocelot looks like... western cowboy" funny, because he is russian :D
🤠🤗
The Metal gear series is a very special series that stands on its own it certain ways. The producer and director of the game (Hideo Kojima) has a very cinematic story design in his games that make them more like movies at times. The story telling is phenomenal though, in particular Metal Gear Solid 3 : Snake Eater.
Even some of the themes from Metal gear solid 2 have some very interesting story threads that honestly predicted how digital media is in modern society and this games story talks about it even though it was made back in 2001/2002. I could go on about this series for hours, it’s a shame there may never be another entry in the series but it definitely made its mark on gaming
A legendary series we need to check out more on. Speaking of legendary, nice profile pic. 😜 Love me some Boston ☺️😎🤟
This game series is a prime example of why it's laughable when people talk about keeping politics out of video games. The entire series, start to finish, is politics.
It's not that people want politics kept out of video games, it's that they don't want the games to be preachy AF about it. They don't want the preachiness about politics and morals to be all the game has.
MGS is a wonderful example of a game series that handles politics WELL, in that while there is a message, that 'message' isn't the sole content, and rarely if ever feels FORCED down your throat. It feels less like the developers using it as a soapbox, and more like natural character development and ideals, which is ALWAYS how politics should be handled in fiction.
Yay! i remember your last video, when i recommended watching the Red Band one.
Such a coincidence to open youtube and see minutes later you actually did it.
Metal Gear Solid is a Anti-War opera.
This one continues the story of Big Boss, the original "Snake" from Metal Gear Solid 3.
In the previous games he started a paramilitary unit called "Soldiers Without Borders" who helped guerrillas around the globe to stabilize sovereignty in their countries against the Cold War setup.
Metal Gear Peace Walker takes place, if i remember correctly in Nicaragua (i could be wrong.) and is the beginning of Snake, now Big Boss after events from MGS3 when he becomes a absolute World savior from a Nuclear Threat between USSR and USA escalating after the Cuban Missile Crisis. Then he realized he is but a puppet with strings attached in this Theater of Horror.
After he let loose the chains who bounded him to USA, he starts working toward peace, and many many soldiers around the globe flock to his cause, making him as powerful as any nation.
MGS5 happens after a coup that literally exploded his Mother Base, a Deep Ocean Platform from where he sent soldiers to fight around the globe, and his fellow men are being hunted one by one. He wakes up 9 years after helping his friends escape from guantanamo bay (those scenes with the girl having a bomb removed from her chest and etc) and as soon as people realize who they were treating the coma, they realize there's a IMMEDIATE DANGER in the whole hospital. From there you get back on your feet and start rebuilding the largest army in the world, with soldiers again flocking to your cause...but 9 years later, you're not the only Private Army in the 1980's... so, big misteries, amazing gameplay, and a overal very good story, with the ending being "meh" for one reason: Konami at the time had fired Hideo Kojima, the mind behind the story, and finished the game themselves as it was.
Things get very weird and very....improvised? as the final missions starts.
What a truly terrible end for such a Legend (Kojima being kicked from his masterpiece.)
I'd still recommend playing though. Metal Gear has some "monsters and robots" to remind us that even though the game is very serious and overflowing with War and Conflict, its "just a game"...or is it? Maybe its all metaphors, dunno. Ask Kojima on that one, dude is a legend and so is Big Boss, a.k.a. Naked Snake.
Grat video, you guys! have a good Sunday!
Glad you enjoyed reaction and good rec in checking this out 🙂😀 We like that the message is heavy anti war
Congrats on the 135k! Here's to 150k, which i'm confident will be very soon 😁
By the way, i wonder if you'd be interested in reacting to some videos by Ssethtzeentach? He does reviews on very niche but secretly awesome games that most people have never heard of. There's a lot of (dark) humor involved and the videos are very entertaining even if you don't know what the games are about. Some of his most popular videos are on Space Station 13, Starsector, Kenshi, and Endless Space 2. I think you might enjoy them!
We have had that channel recommended in the past and will eventually check out some of their work. 🙂😇

@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames no problem👍
what u saw in the Trailer was the real actual game so Cool my favorite action and stealth game , . . . But at the present we might not see another continiation for KONAMI dropped KOJIMA for some mobile games
One of the greatest trailers of all time this one!
It’s pretty amazing 🤩
Man, Quiet has a great *P E R S O N A L I T Y* seriously she's a great character.
She also has a nice rack.
😂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Quiet has a great arc... it just so happens a lot of her arcs are part of her body...
that being said in all honestly I do like her character. When you see what she starts as and what she ends up doing... even though she's silent there's still a lot of character there.
These were conceptualized by the same person who was misidentified as former prime minister Shinzo Abe's killer, kek.
As always with Kojima games, best quality game trailers, the perfect mix of gameplay and storytelling with the beautifull Sins of the Father song.
😎🤟☺️
Can you guys do the rest of the Fortnite events for this weeks wild card Wednesday
For those of us who have been playing MG for over three decades, here’s a better trailer from the man himself Hideo Kojima
ua-cam.com/video/djfFwn8IFTM/v-deo.html
And could you please react to metal gear rising revengaence
On our request list for sure 🙂
Metal gear is a franchise when I was younger I was not really into but as an adult who can understand the deep complex story and its nuance its fantastic.........it resonates even more considering the world events going on right now and the last 2 years for that matter
Metal gear solid franchise does blur the lines between fiction and reality at the same time using real life events interwoven in its plot.....
It’s reviews like this that get us really excited to check out more 🙂
who would have thought such a gritty game series would have made it to smash?
So kaz is the guy who’s missing his arm and leg and he’s one of the only survivors of snakes old home base
And the X-rays are just normal X-rays keeping track of venom snakes condition because big boss(snake) got injured in the helicopter crash (the truth is revealed near the end of the game) but I think the ones that can summon weapons is the members of the skull unit due to the parasites that give them powers)
Also I was wondering if you could watch the E3 2014 trailer for mgs five
We have that trailer in our request list 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames okie dokie!
Definitely the two other trailers. The experiences of both are so worth it. You'll also be introduced to some great music.
Kamakai you can read my comments because you guys want to know a lot this game I just want to say these guys to watch my different videos today going to like it he said I can come say it again heavy is out of Sunday to go fast food in TF 2 the creator is in name ✨
You should react to the CQC scenes from this game which are pretty cool. Maybe even the others too!
What are those scenes? 🤔
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames It stands for Close Quarters Combat i.e hand to hand combat. The series as a whole as a big emphasis on it and MGS4 and MGSV has some pretty cool ones!
U guys should react to dragon ball legends all legendary finishers, its a mobile game but it has great animation
React to Kingsglaive & Gantz: O trailers please 🙏
There are some really high quality Metal Gear “Movies” on UA-cam which are essentially all the cutscenes with some abridged, skillful gameplay to give you an idea of what’s happening in-between. They could definitely be good reaction material after y’all finish of the DMC series. They honestly even have similar vibes at times, MGS can be very campy and over the top as well.
Hideo Kojima is certainly an interesting guy, I don’t go in much for the auteur theory of creation but he does manage to make his own personal mark on the games he directs. Like a half-naked, mute sniper with superpowers who breathes through her skin, who he definitely didn’t just think was a hot character design and came up with a really half-assed origin for after the fact.
😂 well at least there was some justification 😜
Started playing this game very recently! So amazing to think it came in 2015! A shame that Kojima wasn't able to actually finish the game he had in mind, but it is still great in my opinion!
Congratulations on the milestone!
Thanks! Sad the game couldn’t get a proper finish 😢
Per Kojima in interviews, he said it was complete. To many of us who were fans of the earlier titles, it feels like something was missing from the story, in the same way an amputee still feels the missing limb. And people are still talking about MGSV over 7 years after its original release. Well done Kojima-san 👏
You should also watch stuff for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. It's a spinoff to this series where you play as a cyborg ninja, and it's absolutely insane. One of my favorite games of all time.
We plan to check that out as well 😇
List of games timeline:
Metal gear solid 3
Metal gear solid peace walker
Metal gear solid 5 ground zeroes
Metal gear solid 5 phantom pain
Metal gear solid 1
Metal gear solid 2
Metal gear solid 4
Which one is this ground zeros or phantom pain?🤔
@@kojomensah8036 both but especially phantom pain, if the main character has a metal horn stuck in his forehead it's phantom pain and if not it's ground zeroes
Thanks for the order 😀
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames you're welcome!
Hope for the next Devil May Cry video soon.
Metal Gear Solid Revengence, but need to watch those very popular cutscenes from that game with Senator Armstrong. Best remembered moment from that game.
Lots of love for Revengeance 🙂
One of my all time favorite game series.

Sorry, but i got to say this: Kojima is a genious!

There is also Remake of MGS 1 - it's not bad but some cutscences are too much butchered. They also changed soundtrack for worse.
We also got MGS: Portable Ops - gameplay is awful, cutscences are in comic style (something like in Peace Walker but worse) and game itself is something beetwen canon and non canon, there is only one mention about single thing that happend in this game and it's pretty minor thing. Besides Hideo Kojima was not working on this crap.
I would suggest watching this in release order simply because there is such a huge gap in quality beetwen first MG and MGS V. For a first timer it would feel wrong watching MGS V and then goes straight to MG1 :)
Thanks so much for the order of the games and suggestions on how to watch. 😀 we had wondered about the remake so it’s good to know to avoid it 😇
How did I miss this video? So sorry to be so late, but I do have some notes.
Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain takes place during the Soviet - Afghan war and tells the story of how Big Boss became Big Boss, the main villain of the very first Metal Gear game and the father of the main protagonist of the Solid Snake.
Metal Gear (The franchise as a whole, not just the Solid, Acid, or Rising series) was always themed around peace and pacifism. The player is always rewarded from non-lethal solutions to all battles and it is possible to beat many of the games without killing anyone, including the bosses and main villains.
Metal Gear has gotten more and more political with its themes and stories as time has passed on and it doesn't shy away from the cruelty of war.
As a game, I cannot recommend MGS5 Phantom Pain highly enough. It's not a perfect game by any means, but it is up there with Red Dead Redemption 2.
Some characters introduced:
Master Miller (A.K.A "Kaz", short for Kazuhira) - Mentor to both Big Boss and Solid Snake (BB's son)
Quiet - A sniper, was literally introduced for fan service, this was her first appearance in the franchise.
"Eli" - Later better known as Liquid Snake, Solid Snake's brother.
Skull Face - Forgettable villain, literally can't remember anything note worthy of him.
Emmerich - Father to Otacon. The Emmerich family is.... weird and tragic. It's filled with a incestuous relationship, deep guilt and broken bonds through death and estrangement. But they are geniuses, almost all of them.
Revolved Ocelot - (Revolver Ocelot, Revolver Ocelot) a little bit of an enigma. Possible traitor, double agent, loyalist, or just playing all sides so he always comes on top? A 'solid' anti-hero.
Code Talker - First appearance in the franchise. A bit of a shaman, works with decryption.
Psycho Mantis - A telepathic and telekinetic savant, another tragic character who lived a life of trauma.
One of these characters did not actually appear in the trailer, but saying more about that would be a massive spoiler.
Chronology of the games:
1964 Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (First prequel of the series)
1970 Metal Gear Solid - Portable Ops (First game of the series on a portable console)
1974 Metal Gear Solid - Peace Walker
1975 Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes (Demo game for Phantom Pain)
1984 Metal Gear Solid 5: Phantom Pain
1995 Metal Gear (The very first Metal Gear game, released on the MSX console)
1999 Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
2005 Metal Gear Solid
2007/2009 Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
2014 Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
2018 Metal Gear Rising: Revengence
There is also a non-canonical Metal Gear Acid series, that contains side stories, but exists on its own timeline, separate from the main timeline and is often forgotten.
Some people (Including me) like the hypothesis that all Kojima games, Metal Gear, Snatcher, Policenauts and Zone of the Enders exist in a single timeline.
It is unfortunate that Hideo Kojima had a falling out with Konami before the game was finished, as a result, the game was released with its last chapter just missing.
Unacceptable to be late and miss a video 😜🤗
(Please correct me if wrong) Chronologically it goes
Metal Gear Solid 3
MGS Peacewalker
MGS Ground Zeroes (more of a demo)
MGS V THE PHANTOM PAIN
Metal Gear 1 & 2
Metal Gear Solid 1, 2,
MGS 4 Guns of the Patriots
Then maybe Metal Gear Rising
Thanks! 🙂
Chronological order is Metal Gear Solid 3, then Peacewalker, then Metal Gear Solid 5, Metal Gear 1 (not solid), Metal Gear 2 (not solid), Metal Gear Solid 1, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 4.
But boy howdy I would not play them like that! Kojima made them knowing what was made before, and knowing it's a spy story, full of lies and double crosses and fake identities. So your questions about what's going on are best answered playing them in release order.
Metal Gear 1,2 (can be skipped if you want) Solid 1 (has a recap of the last 2) Solid 2, Solid 3, Peacewalker, 4, 5.
Problem is with watching it, you have to find someone that included all the conversations and interrogations and radio calls from hq that are in the gameplay rather than just the cutscenes. Half the plot is snake sitting in a dark corner talking to people on the radio while trying to keep from being found.
Chip and Ironicus did do a good let's play of the whole series, but that's like... 250 half hour videos? So probably a bit much.
Problem with watching it is Kojima made the gameplay integral to the setting. Screwing with the controls/visuals/sound at certain points to express ideas and emotions. Doesn't come through in a movie.
Appreciate the feedback on how to watch it and how it differs from gameplay. Usually we go with Gamers Little Playgound as they do a good job of including essential gameplay in addition to cutscenes 🤔🙂
Since people already recommended to watch everthing Metal Gear related, with order and whatnots, i have weird suggestion. When the time will come for Metal gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, after watching all proper trailer watch... MGS3 Pachinko cutscenes. Thing is, there were at some point quite a number of slot machines themed around games, and DMC4 and MGS3 in particular were made with astonishing graphic miles ahead of proper game. After whole wave of disappointment and rage subdued, we could all agree, that cutscenes are great. So... yeah, check "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Pachinko vs Original HD Collection All Cutscenes Comparison" when the time comes
Thanks for the recommendation 🙂
This gameplay is about as open as you can get. What I mean by that even previous titles you can sneak or go guns blazing or however you want. There's stress to manage in MGSIV and there's other factors such as broken bones in MGS3. However the canon is simple both Solid Snake and Naked Snake(aka Big Boss, aka Punished Snake) have done their missions sneaking around very very quickly and NOT killing. So while the trailers show them killing there's many achievements in the series for doing a pacifist run and saving lives in record times without being spotted. It's actually easier than it sounds because you have tons of tools for the job and not just crawling around. However I've done the crawling around method and it works out fine if you make mental notes of patrol patterns. That being said even when I say it's open there's things you absolutely can not do. Such as killing child soldiers. No Snake will kill children, they will knock them out and carry them off to save them from their imprisonment but that's one thing you might be worried about getting into the game, that you might be forced to kill children...you won't. You can't be a living legend if you are forced to break your principles. And while Solid Snake is regarded as the greatest soldier legend, Naked Snake is extremely close and they are neck and neck.
Love that line. “You can’t be a living legend if you are willing to break your principles” ☺️
Sad that this was the last game before Konami lost their minds and fire Kojima so V is probaly going to be the last MGS game that matters. They did come out with Metal Gear Survive but that game, always a good sign when they charge you 10 bucks for a save slot, ah ha he he he 😅😅😅........😥.
I think 3 and 5 are the ones in the past, but it's so far in the past, you can watch the games in order. It's a weird situation, most people picked up the series at Metal Gear Solid but there were 3 games before that, and it is a continuous story so when 3 came around it's more of a let's see how that super evil legendary soldier got the way he is. The problem is he's only referenced in Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2 (the games people played) and was the main bad guy in Metal Gear, Snakes Revenge, and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (plus the titles don't help: Metal Gear, Snakes Revenge, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake Metal Gear Solid which is really the 4th game in the series)
Even this game, the Phantom Pain is almost a direct prequal to the first Metal Gear game on the nes supposedly.
10 bucks for a save slot 😡 greed.
See even your explanation on the games has us all jumbled up haha. This is going to be quite a ride. But release order seems to be the way to go 🙂
guys Definitely gonna like Onmyoji trailers - its a mobile game but with Very high quality classes/characters trailers. Pls react to it!!
Here are some directions 4u:
Onmyoji - Demonic Feast
Onmyoji - Shikigami Kinnara
Onmyoji - Celestial Realm part 1 + 2
Onmyoji - Senhime
there are many more trailers but these are the bests in my opinion (and they have most views too :)) )
Thanks for the recommendations 😀
Here's a 12 Hour video of all the MGS's in Chronological Order edited down to the important parts. ua-cam.com/video/-K977NxGhyU/v-deo.html.
Thanks for sharing! 😀
Eli is the main villain in the MGS franchise as he gets older along with others thats kin to solid snake MGS is a VERY emotional game and full of philosophies,love,romance,loss and tragedy. its more Shakespearean than Shakespear itself and is a cult hit like you wont believe. just like DMC you have to start with different orders to get the chronological story order. you can skip all the little spinoffs the order is as follows MGS3-snake eater/peace walker/ground zeros/phantom pain/MGS1/MGS2/ and finally MGS4- guns of the patriots. i highly recommend watching. Venom snake Bigboss/naked snake and solid snake the main portag, are not the same people you'll find out that all the games and people are all connected in some way shape and form to one another its just one big story so good they're even talking about making a live action movie on it. and what Metal Gear is, is a military weapon of mass destruction that changes models from time to time snake usually has to fight it
Thanks for letting us know the order and that we can skip the spin-offs 🙂
This game was incredible... until you realize it's just half of a game. The prologue was sold as Metal Gear ground Zero (no really, it's just the first 4 hours) AND most of the second chapter and ALL of the third and last were cut to rush the game out. So you finish the game on a massive cliffhanger.
Then you do some researsh and realise that the director and creator of the serie was ejected of the project and the game rushed to just come out as it was. (you can still find concept art and even unfinished cinematics of the third act who was gonna talk about those child soldiers way more)
For me, Metal gear solid 4 was the perfect ending to begin with but 5... 5 got axed...
Bummer ☹️
One of the coolest games! I wish Kojima was still able to make these
Death Stranding was just as good. But then he moved to California and said he was just making movies from now on...
Curse Konami and curse Sony for driving an auteur like him out of his chosen field.
@@acrab6527 He just teamed up with Microsoft to make an exclusive game for the Xbox/Windows.
you guys should react to the MGS: Ground Zero's trailer. Its the Prologue to MGS5.
ua-cam.com/video/elMikUGFfqw/v-deo.html
Thanks for sharing the link 🙂
Great reaction! but guys, please react to some Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance gameplay. That game is 10/10 with a lot of memorable lines, ridiculous but funny moments, top notch memes and phenomenal soundtrack,
😎🤟 a game we will check out at some point 🙂
This game is a mess... within without.... in totality. It's literally unfinished and never will be. It is a giant mess that was literally assembled from the fragments of a game that was never going to be completed to begin with, Kojima and Konami were done with each other well before the project hit the halfway mark, and no amount of fan hopes tears and dreams can put it back together again. Imagine game of thrones ends with The Night King with his hands around Aria's throat and that's it. You don't get anything else, regardless of whether you like season 8 (or 6.. or seven) or not.
Done.
That is phantom pain.
Actually might not have been the worst ending to GoT 😂😜 but we get what you’re saying 🤗
It's funny how Kojima could make a sexy character like Quiet but still work in a back story that was believable to justify how scantily clothed she was. What a genius lmao!
I hope they don't make another Metal Gear game because I'm afraid what it will look like without Kojima behind it.
Justification is always key 🙂
Too bad they fucked up on the gameplay department in the end. Trying to 100% this game a miserable experience. I really loved mgs 1,2,and 3, but boy it really started to go downhill after 4. The first half of the game is great, but soon the empty open world and the repetitive missions start to get old fast. Otherwise, if you are not concerned about completing it, doing all the side missions with rank s and all that its a great game to get.
Appreciate the review 🙂
For first time the man who act as Snake or the Actor and Voice model is Kiefer Sutherland. The fans at start hate the chage of the voice of Snake cuz every snake have the same voice actor David Hayter. But "a little espoil" is on purpose. Kojima is the master of break the 4th wall on video games. and if you play the game in the final the real final. you get the secret why Snake voice is different. and thats is when i love the game. is a movie. plus every Snake has a code name. this is Punished Snake the others are Solid Snake or Liquid Snake.
Interesting 🤔
This game produce a lot of memes 🤣🤣
It will be a tragic but worth it series, I love big Boss's story more. If you start with his, I believe it starts MG3 snake eater first. But if you just do phantom pain it will be worth it 🖤 just won't get the full sadness of watching it with snake eater and peace walker
We want the full sadness 😭🤗
Hey guys! Could you react to the new League of Legends music video that dropped afew days ago! It’s called ‘Everything Goes On - Porter Robinson’.
We have it on our request list 🙂
5 is actually a prequel, you play the as future end boss of the older game, it kinda wraps up the story of the franchise, MGS 4 had the real ending to the story of solid snake.
😎👍🙂
quiets backstory is quite tragic and sad
You guys are my top favorite UA-cam channel but to be honest u need to learn the true lore from back in the 80s if it wasn't for mgs there would never be red dead redemption at all lol but I still love u guys
Yeah we don’t mean to imply that these games are inspired from games we compare them to. More so, we use games we’ve covered on the channel to sort of wrap our heads around games we just get introduced to 🤗😊
I wish the game was as good as this trailer.
Yall need to watch videogamedunkey play phantom pain its the funniest stuff yall wont regret it
We’ve been told that’s a fun channel to check out 🙂
Well, it’s not Metal Gear Rising Revengance, but this was nice, congrats!
🤗🥳
You guys should consider watching all the Metal gear solid games they are amazing
We are looking into it 🙂
This game also exposed the U.S crimes that had been commited against the innocents
😯
can you guys react to starfield gameplay trailer?, thanks!
We will 😇
This game is still a masterpiece to this day
😎🤟
Since you guys looking at Metal Gear, be cool to react to the boss battles or a playthrough. Whichever seems fit
Leaning towards a playthrough 🙂
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames Oh? Even better! I'll be there
Let's be real, at this point it's more of a 150k celebration because at this rate of growth, 150k is inevitable. But hey, why not have a 145k celebration right before a 150k celebration. Drinks all around!
"Red Dead Redemption meets Call of Duty" is probably the most apt way to describe this game in one sentence. Best way to play the games is by release order, not by chronological. The reason is because certain reveals are made in prequels that won't have the same impact if you play them chronologically. So while MGS3 is technically the first part of this story, it is best to still play MGS1 and 2 before it.
Fair warning before you start:
Metal Gear 1, Metal Gear 2, MGS1, MGS2, and MGS3 are kind of a "first era" for the series. The writer, Hideo Kojima, was motivated and excited to tell this story, which is something of a looping narrative. Metal Gear 1 has you begin the legend that is Solid Snake in which he surpasses his mentor, Big Boss. Metal Gear 2 builds on that legacy, with Metal Gear Solid 1 being the most important mission in Solid Snake's life; Shadow Moses. Metal Gear Solid 2 is something of a "passing of the torch" story in which Solid Snake himself becomes a mentor.
Finally, Metal Gear Solid 3 is a distant prequel, dating back during the Cold War where Snake's mentor Big Boss was still a stealth operative under the codename Naked Snake (due to his missions requiring him to drop into enemy territory with almost no equipment, forcing him to acquire gear on-site). Basically, MGS3 tells the story of how Naked Snake became the man we know as Big Boss.
After that, things get... Difficult to explain in a UA-cam comment. Basically, Hideo Kojima didn't want to continue the story after that point, but Konami wanted money so... The show must go on. Games after that get much darker, more tragic, and have a great deal of death and suffering in them, moreso than even the most tragic points of the first era. As you can see by this trailer, really. Second era mostly covers the finality of Solid Snake's journey in MGS4 and the rest of Big Boss's journey with a number of titles, each progressively more depressing than the last.
To conclude this book of a comment, whether or not you decide to dive into MGS, be it just the first era or both, everything comes to a conclusion narratively in Metal Gear Rising, which is so detached from both Metal Gear Solid and the laws of reality that it deserves attention just for existing, meanwhile Metal Gear Survive was a transparent cash grab of a game that makes no sense in the canon and only exists to siphon money from players. So, Rising deserves as much attention as possible, Survive should be avoided at all costs.
K' bye.
Yeah we will have to turn around and do one for 150k soon 😂 But that happens sometimes. 🤗 Thanks for giving us a little more info on the series. We’ll be confused at points in this journey if we decide to take it, but we heard even those that played it aren’t always 100% certain on the story 🤗
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames If you do a Patreon poll for the 150k celebration vid, I'd offer Max0r's video on Yakuza Zero for consideration as an option. The editing is very fast-paced, but it has a feel-good message towards the end.
omggg right after I made the comment in the other video :DDD
😜
