As much as I love this game so much and consider it one of the greatest games ever made, this exposition thing is the reason why I am worried about the idea of a Metal Gear Solid live-action movie. In the context of a film, too much exposition is only going to drag down the story, and it will be interesting to see if the director can pull it off.
@@alialghamdi7153 no you just lack a creative mind. Metal gear solid 1 could easily work as a film. One just needs creativity, vision and a proper understanding of how to translate the story into the medium of a film. The one piece live action and the spiderverse movies PROVE that its all about the EXECUTION.
@@jessicaheller3076 "No you just lack a creative mind" looooool why you gotta make it so personal, state your opinion and be nice. Heck, you might be right and I don't mind being proven wrong. I was very skeptical of the one piece liveaction and I was pleasantly surprised. It's not to say it doesn't have its flaws, nor that it improved on anything in regards to one piece, aside from increasing viewership. But they delivered something solid. I don't think the comparisons are apt, because you're comparing essentially "video" formats to game formats. The level of interactivity mixed in with cinematic presentations is what makes metal gear unique, and I personally take offense when someone says it's just a movie, no it's a cinematic game, there's a difference. I just don't think the thrill of sneaking around, exploring, contacting ppl on codec and reaching certain areas and seeing events unfold that you're actively engaging in and pushing forward would translate well into a movie that you just watch. It cuts a lot of the immersion out. If they pull it off I'm not gonna be like "grrrrrr this sucks", just to be a sour puss but I just don't think it will work.
"so cinematic" I think it's actually impossible to adequately explain to people who weren't around then how much of a paradigm shift this game was when it came out in 1998. Like picture playing Super Mario Bros on the NES and then playing this. That's an exaggeration, but not by much.
@@biggreenblob I played it for the first time via the demo. It only went up to the Ocelot boss battle. I could not stop playing it, think I played it through over 10 times. Like you say, it was a unique experience, I genuinely felt like I was playing an action movie rather than a game.
@@biggreenblob Syphon Filter series also had that cinematic feel but it felt more like a blockbuster while this game felt like something that would have got Oscar nominations.
I always get stoked when I find a new let's player I like. The Metal Gear series is my all time fav. They aren't even horror games but can turn you into a bundle of nerves just sneaking around
I accidentally misread this as "get soaked" and legit just read the rest of the comment assuming you just carried out some water based ritual out of joy
Revolver "Revolver Ocelot" Ocelot. Dude literally gets off on reloading his gun. "There's nothing better than the feeling of slamming a long silver bullet into a well-greased chamber."
Not sure if you ever heard, if it takes too long for you to progress to the helipad or died too many times fighting Ocelot, the "inferior" dialogue will instead play out. These are specifically the colonel commenting that you are a bit rusty (right after you reached the helipad) and the few lines Ocelot said after you defeat him but before Gray Fox cut his hand off.
I've literally never heard his dialogue where he says he's disappointed. I didn't even know he had that dialogue. I've only ever heard his "You're pretty good" dialogue.
Agreed! I had a Sega to start out but when those games came out I stayed at my friends’ house and we play for hours!! Eventually I got a PS2 and the rest is history. :)
I think gamers going back to this game, who have never played it are always surprised at how difficult this game can be. They always start this game like they're playing an action/FPS game. I'm pretty surprised at how difficult it is for us to slow down in games these days. We've been so conditioned to have thing happen quickly and immediately and this game flies in the face of that.
@@slartybartfast1112 most people dont like waiting for the elevator when they first play it because they dont know how long it will take. I remember wondering how long i had to wait when I first played it when I was little. It doesnt bother me now because i already know when it will come down. That has nothing to do with modern gaming sensibilities.
i think you're going to have a lot of fun with this one and isn't it's still just incredible what they managed to pull out of the ps1..? also, a couple of tips! you probably already figured but you can equip rations to use them automatically when your health drops to zero.. the next one is to revisit areas you've already been to when your keycard gets security level upgrades, there's plenty of useful goodies hidden all around... and the last one i have for now, is to use the codec whenever you feel stuck, sometimes repeated calls can get you some useful details about your current objective
Once you play the entire MGS, and let them sit with you for literal decades, you tend to take for granted how counterintuitive they are to new comers lol.
The first time I played this game I could not understand it and thought it was weird and hard to control. Some time passed and I for some reason gave it another chance and fell in love with it and I still love it. This and Resident Evil 3 were one of the first games I played after NES and Sega Megadrive and my mind was blown. Haven't felt that way ever since. That was true NEXT GEN GAMING.
I love watching your blind let’s plays! This is totally bringing me back to when this game first came out and my older brother and I struggled to figure out what to do. Also love watching a modern gamer having to change the way you approach a vintage game. I appreciate you trying to actually learn and experience the game instead of just trashing it because you can’t use modern techniques like so many others!
ik this video is almost a year old but fun fact for 3:42~ one of the things i learned in history class when i was younger was that soldier's in war often went out with cigarettes because smoking would calm there nerves and steady there aim. thought of that when i first played this game and it does the same thing here, but it takes away health. (then again i didn't use them often and when i did that was the remake twin snakes which had first person aiming, so it was more noticeable if not exclusive)
I discovered your blind playthroughs by searching some MGR videos and now I'm watching from the start. I have to say that the way you're learning the game, your reactions, your understanding are funny to me and making me happy ^^ Everytime there's something special happening, I can't wait for you to react. I'm also glad you like the franchise and especially the way you're appreciating the first game : it's nanar, stupidly funny, has good musics and voice acting and the fact it's like an action movie. I'm gonna have tons of fun watching the rest !
Dude! I found you through Mass Effect. Congrats on finishing, now you’re playing through my favourite game of all time. I played the Demo for this to death when I was 10… showing my age. so excited to see your reaction to this!
Oh my goodness this is a treat. I know im late to comment but, just finished watching you play the entire Silent Hill franchise blind now im getting the honor of seeing your Metal gear blind playthroughs. Cant wait until you get to Snake Eater. Snake eater is my favorite game of all time. Gonna really enjoy this bro! (Jumping between this and your Subnautica series)
I know you've played this and a lot of the other main games a while back, but I enjoy this story so much and your playthrough of all of the games is the best I've ever seen, I watch them all once yearly lol. Keep up the good work my friend. Gaming was the only thing, the only thing I'm good at, but, at least I always game for the best score 😅.
Aww yiss! I can't be bothered to play the game but want to know how the series started, so glad I found a LPer that doesn't overreact and scream all the time so i can watch in the background while i work!
I forgot how much snake just responds with a question in this game lmao. Rex? Metal gear? Muf? Black project? Woman? Just always looking for more exposition lol.
Apparently in Japanese it's a common way to just show that you're listening, and since everyone responds by explaining further the translator opted to keep it in.
Mgs is one of my fave franchise of all time! I love it when new players try it out for the first time and when that codec rings and theirs minds are just like 😮😮😮😮😮😮 😂🤣
This was the game that made me want a Playstation. I watched my buddy play it and started saving up. It was like nothing else at the time. I haven't played many more of the games, but this one was always a cherished experience.
Man I'm so late to the party! Wish I found your channel earlier! This is the first game I ever played that made me feel immersed. My 8 year old brain was blown away by this masterpiece.
Im late as hell to this, but I've subbed purely for you playing blind through this series. I cant wait to see how you muddle through the convoluted story.
Just rewatchin cuz I'm hype for delta...would be nice for a release date lol That armory trap doors really got you it's gold watching after you discovered how to use lv1 card and fall twice through those trap doors I felt ur pain when I was like 11 or 10 playing this game late 90s
At around the time he's stuck trying to open the doors in the armoury with the Pan card, he actually scrolls at it in his item menu at 52:31. But he's busy talking and misses reading the info. Finally at 59:00 he reads it.😅
While the game can be enjoyed without watching the briefing and intro cutscene, they would really have given you a lot of context for the game's setting and characters. I've just finished watching this video, so I have no idea if you get to watch them eventually, but here's hoping. Great stuff so far.
Coming back to watch this after getting into your channel through the souls playthrough - you've quickly become one of my favorite UA-camrs and I somehow only just found out you did a playthrough of one of my all time favorite games lol.
It's sort of a shame that everyone misses the mission briefing stuff since it's hidden in the main menu. It was a super cool addition to the game I think, just a wacky amount of information tossed at you about what's going on right at the start. Background on the facility, what FOXHOUND is and their demands, genome soldiers, nanomachines, how Liquid Snake is Solid Snake's "twin"... a lot of stuff the game sort of assumes you know. Without it it's all pretty disorienting. And of course this was back when games expected people to read the manual. There's a lot of little mechanics in MGS that make it a lot smoother that the game literally never spells out. Reloading, choking out / throwing guards / snapping their necks, first-person mode, running while firing a rifle...
It's weird that it's been this long since I started watching your channel. I remember when you had just hit 1K subs, and now we're at 33K. Well, cheers to you Map!
I watched your ground zero’s review of the main mission all the way thru and thoroughly enjoyed it. So i wanted to watch the journey from the beginning… This should be entertaining.
The only problem with these reviews type people is they talk during cut scenes and always miss important information like using the key cards for level 1 doors, which lead to a lot of wasted time and extra deaths.
Oh this is gonna be good! I know this is an older video of yours but I thought I'd check it out after watching your Half-Life 2 playthrough that I really enjoyed. I will just say that I wish you had got to play the NTSC version of Metal Gear Solid as this PAL version is like watching the game in slow motion - Snake runs sooooo slowly in the PAL version lol.
Back to a classic! Next time you play this through, or do another Lets Play.. watch the Briefing section, and the intro cutscene before the title screen. So much exposition you went into this without! Some of it is just mentioned casually in the course of the game but without proper context doesn't make as much sense.
Ooh MGS, you really are spoiling me. But thank god you're not playing the gamecube Twin Snakes remake. (let's just say they watched The Matrix too much before remaking it). Not watched the video yet but I concur with oldsilenthill below, try out the VR missions to get used to the controls, one of the best tutorial systems there is.
I feel like I need to tackle the VR missions with how I’ve played so far as you’ll soon see 😂 Part 3 should have some VR training then. Did not even know there was a remake on GameCube so luckily I have chosen right!
@@Mapocolops My memories are a bit fuzzy but you do a series of quick tests then try them out together and feel really proud of yourself... but when finished you can set them to play themselves and you will see Snake do it all in a fifth of the time you took and realise that you can do it so much better. Once you see the moves in action they are pretty simple to copy. You might want to dedicate some time off screen after trying them out at first.
the cutscenes in the twin snakes thingy were directed by a guy called ryuhei kitamura, who also made the movie versus.... if you've seen that one, some of the choices start to make a little more sense 😂😂
Wow, I never heard that ending dialogue after beating Revolver Ocelot where he demeans your combat skills. I never beat him with only a slither of my health left, i ether died or defeated him with a lot of health left so everytime i fought him, he tells me that the boss was right about how good of a fighter Snake is. I never knew Ocelot tells you that snake is no match for Liquid if you beat him with just a little bit of health left lol. Thats interesting.
Jesus Christ... ill forgive the weird low resolution game capture just because its so rare to see a genuinely good "blind play" of MGS1. Well done sir.
You're right he usually says "my hand". The "aaaah" plays if you aren't playing well. There's several cutscenes that are different based on your performance. Though I gotta say that's such an arbitrary change and doesn't really have impact.
@@SovLestlandia Nope, that cutscene is slightly different depending on how long you take to beat him. The big difference is that he says "you're pretty good" rather than "you're not cut out for war" but he also yells "my hand!" rather than just screaming.
But how do we know that guard didn't turn up until later in the conversation with Donald and then so happen to hear them speaking? We can't exactly see what is going on outside that cell block.
Screaming at the screen for 10 minutes, "You have a lvl 1 keycard!!!" and also "You're not suppost to kill anyone!!!" Love to see the playthrough though. 😀
Watching this man struggle through PS1 games is always hilarious. He’s so clueless most of the time and instead of taking time to learn the mechanics he just jumps straight in and dies hahah. I beat this game when I was 12 and he makes me look like a Wunderkind hahah.
Yeah a lot of people jump in without the context of the manual and the briefings, forgetting that this is a PS1 game and this was back when external media was part of the whole package. If you ignore that it's pretty disorienting.
@@colbyboucher6391 i learn ebtter that way, its easier for me to just jump into something and figure out first hand what I dont know than sitting back trying to learn a whole knew mechanic before getting a proper feel for it.
Can somebody please tell me how I can play metal gear on the PlayStation 1 I’ve tried it before and it doesn’t seem to work on the newer televisions. I’m absolutely busting to play it aswel
played on the ps5 with the master collection an they looked good to me or if you got it on ps1 already get a crt tv thats what they were meant to be played on
I've watched 7 mins so far and can say this is actually the most painful video i have seen as an axperienced mgs(1) player, it's almost cringey watching someone play this for the first time when you have this game saved to your own personal memory 😂 I love the video though, good genuine virgin footage i love it 😂 you'll learn to love the game i promise....replayability is unlimited!!!!!
Well! I think it is fun as hell! It's are exactly as my foughts are a bout a player in 2020 are playing this game. So some of his death makes me laugh so mutch
@@Mapocolops no problem I totally forgive you and I am so happy that you found it. I loved playing this on my playstation as a kid, it was a great game.
I got scammed into paying the new games yesterday reason I say scammed couldn’t updated controls camera graphics like idk , but point being I spent 27 hrs and I just found the elevator to go to B1 or B2 lol
Did you _actually_ spend 27 hours wandering around the first floor? Because _holy shit_ Also make sure you check out the Briefing stuff on the main menu because it give you a _lot_ of story context that's just missing otherwise. Game doesn't need to be updated, really. It plays how it plays. If they remade it you'd probably just have less ways of dealing with things. It's effectively a "remake" / soft reboot of the original Metal Gear on the MSX, called Metal Gear Solid because there's polygons now.

43:39, we all know this moment very well! haha
Man I need to play this series some time
I watched your ground zero’s review of the main mission all the way thru and thoroughly enjoyed it. So i wanted to watch the journey from the beginning… This should be entertaining.
The coronal was also a plumber
For a ps1 game it looks really good.
coming to this from your MGSV series to see how your love affair with the series has developed over the course of the lets plays
58:00 love the Game Over Dance 😂
Was the best! Gave me the feeling like i were playing first time
The only problem with these reviews type people is they talk during cut scenes and always miss important information like using the key cards for level 1 doors, which lead to a lot of wasted time and extra deaths.
50:36 dude i've never put it into words but that is way too god damn real i laughed too hard at that xD
Loved the first ep mate
You just gained a subscriber!
Looking foward to see the next games
Do you intend to play them all?
Cheers
Hey thank you! Yes I’m currently playing Portable Ops so I’ll be going through everything I can
2nd floor basement?
18:04 - not yet, he would do that 7 years later with MGS3: Snake Eater though
Oh this is gonna be good! I know this is an older video of yours but I thought I'd check it out after watching your Half-Life 2 playthrough that I really enjoyed. I will just say that I wish you had got to play the NTSC version of Metal Gear Solid as this PAL version is like watching the game in slow motion - Snake runs sooooo slowly in the PAL version lol.
Don't mind me. Just back for my 17th rewatch.
Only the 17th? Those are rookie numbers.
Damn, less of a beard. Looking good, Mapo! 😁
Another PS1 game you should play is SYPHON FILTER!
Definitely
Back to a classic! Next time you play this through, or do another Lets Play.. watch the Briefing section, and the intro cutscene before the title screen. So much exposition you went into this without! Some of it is just mentioned casually in the course of the game but without proper context doesn't make as much sense.
46:41 - Not yet.
It's not over yet.
16:41 so proud
1:00:07 All these decades later and I didn’t even know there was a room there!! 😮😅
Ooh MGS, you really are spoiling me. But thank god you're not playing the gamecube Twin Snakes remake. (let's just say they watched The Matrix too much before remaking it).
Not watched the video yet but I concur with oldsilenthill below, try out the VR missions to get used to the controls, one of the best tutorial systems there is.
I feel like I need to tackle the VR missions with how I’ve played so far as you’ll soon see 😂 Part 3 should have some VR training then. Did not even know there was a remake on GameCube so luckily I have chosen right!
@@Mapocolops My memories are a bit fuzzy but you do a series of quick tests then try them out together and feel really proud of yourself... but when finished you can set them to play themselves and you will see Snake do it all in a fifth of the time you took and realise that you can do it so much better. Once you see the moves in action they are pretty simple to copy. You might want to dedicate some time off screen after trying them out at first.
the cutscenes in the twin snakes thingy were directed by a guy called ryuhei kitamura, who also made the movie versus.... if you've seen that one, some of the choices start to make a little more sense 😂😂
I really hate that Twin Snakes remake. Its terrible and changes a lot of scenes that were awesome in the original game.
Hahaha yeah the question-based dialogue is quite typical of Japanese writing. It does sound funny when you're not used to it xD
That type of dialogue was I didnt notice when i first played. I only noticed how much he does it after years later watching others react to the game.
ayyyyyy. great channel, btw. loved your playthrough of Silent Hill 2!
LURCH thank you!!
Wow, I never heard that ending dialogue after beating Revolver Ocelot where he demeans your combat skills. I never beat him with only a slither of my health left, i ether died or defeated him with a lot of health left so everytime i fought him, he tells me that the boss was right about how good of a fighter Snake is. I never knew Ocelot tells you that snake is no match for Liquid if you beat him with just a little bit of health left lol. Thats interesting.
Secret Floor! lol
Omg "crouch quickly" dhdhdh you made me laugh several times xD
Jesus Christ... ill forgive the weird low resolution game capture just because its so rare to see a genuinely good "blind play" of MGS1. Well done sir.
Did you played this game on epsxe or rpcs3 emulator?
Is it possible that I remembered Ocelot saying "what?! My hand!" Instead of "aaaaaah"
You're right he usually says "my hand". The "aaaah" plays if you aren't playing well. There's several cutscenes that are different based on your performance. Though I gotta say that's such an arbitrary change and doesn't really have impact.
You are probably remembering the Twin Snakes, which was a remake of metal gear solid 1. Did you ever own a gamecube by any chance?
@@SovLestlandia Nope, that cutscene is slightly different depending on how long you take to beat him. The big difference is that he says "you're pretty good" rather than "you're not cut out for war" but he also yells "my hand!" rather than just screaming.
But how do we know that guard didn't turn up until later in the conversation with Donald and then so happen to hear them speaking? We can't exactly see what is going on outside that cell block.
Screaming at the screen for 10 minutes, "You have a lvl 1 keycard!!!" and also "You're not suppost to kill anyone!!!" Love to see the playthrough though. 😀
Watching this man struggle through PS1 games is always hilarious. He’s so clueless most of the time and instead of taking time to learn the mechanics he just jumps straight in and dies hahah. I beat this game when I was 12 and he makes me look like a Wunderkind hahah.
Yeah a lot of people jump in without the context of the manual and the briefings, forgetting that this is a PS1 game and this was back when external media was part of the whole package. If you ignore that it's pretty disorienting.
Other games such as Tenchu and Resident Evil weren't as pretentious and dog shit as this one
@@colbyboucher6391 i learn ebtter that way, its easier for me to just jump into something and figure out first hand what I dont know than sitting back trying to learn a whole knew mechanic before getting a proper feel for it.
@@ChrisMaxCisneroswhy even type out a dumb sentence?
1:24 What do you mean by this? I've seen up till part 5 and it looks like you're missing info from the intro still. Is the intro in another series?
1:24 foxtrot or foxhound :D
hahahahaha omg...I thought it was something I said but no, I can't believe I wrote that :')
What's the best way to play this?
great!, you should try some VR missions from the main screen menu, so you can learn some good tactics to distract enemies and learn useful pro moves!
I’ll be sure to check them in the next episode I record! I think I’ll need it haha
Are you playing this on a pc?
Can somebody please tell me how I can play metal gear on the PlayStation 1 I’ve tried it before and it doesn’t seem to work on the newer televisions. I’m absolutely busting to play it aswel
You could try using an emulator
played on the ps5 with the master collection an they looked good to me or if you got it on ps1 already get a crt tv thats what they were meant to be played on
i love this game sm
Bros got the survival instincts of an acorn. Lmao.
so jealous of your yugioh intro
I cant believe you spent like 10 mins in the first floor lol
Because this game is dog shit compared to games like Tenchu and other classics during this time
Because this game is dog shit compared to games like Tenchu and other classics during this time
@@ChrisMaxCisneros looks like someone had a hard time playing mgs too. Tenchu is ok for its time. cotrols sucks ass. Average game.
@@ChrisMaxCisnerosbuddys dogshit at mgs
I've watched 7 mins so far and can say this is actually the most painful video i have seen as an axperienced mgs(1) player, it's almost cringey watching someone play this for the first time when you have this game saved to your own personal memory 😂
I love the video though, good genuine virgin footage i love it 😂 you'll learn to love the game i promise....replayability is unlimited!!!!!
Well! I think it is fun as hell! It's are exactly as my foughts are a bout a player in 2020 are playing this game. So some of his death makes me laugh so mutch
how did you never play this as a kid?
because people play different games growing up? there's so many just in my community that haven't played the MGS series.
@@Mapocolops no problem I totally forgive you and I am so happy that you found it. I loved playing this on my playstation as a kid, it was a great game.
34:54 🤣🙊
Snakeeeeee
58:02 lol
I got scammed into paying the new games yesterday reason I say scammed couldn’t updated controls camera graphics like idk , but point being I spent 27 hrs and I just found the elevator to go to B1 or B2 lol
Did you _actually_ spend 27 hours wandering around the first floor? Because _holy shit_
Also make sure you check out the Briefing stuff on the main menu because it give you a _lot_ of story context that's just missing otherwise.
Game doesn't need to be updated, really. It plays how it plays. If they remade it you'd probably just have less ways of dealing with things. It's effectively a "remake" / soft reboot of the original Metal Gear on the MSX, called Metal Gear Solid because there's polygons now.
@@colbyboucher6391 yes sir and thanks to this walkthrough I made it to the next phase , I appreciate this series thank you
