    HERE WE GO! Welcome and thank you for joining me on this journey through the Metal Gear Solid series! Snake Eater is SO MUCH FUN so far, already loving it. The length of this first episode is proof enough of that I think 🤣
    REMINDER: This is a first/blind playthrough, pre-recorded videos, not livestreams. I know a lot of you guys watching are basically veterans of these games, and sometimes watching a newcomer discovering a game you know inside out can be frustrating (believe me, I know). Please just keep in mind I'm doing my best and I can't know everything like you do! Hopefully my journey can give you back some of that feeling of playing for the first time through my experience 💚
    As usual: I am not done with playing the game yet, so please don't post any spoilers for this game or for future MGS games. Tips you give in the comments might not be applied either since I've already filmed a couple of episodes by now.
    Thank you and I hope you enjoy!

      This gameplay is atrocious and i love it 😂. do not be embarrassed EVERY SINGE PERSON I see play these games struggles.
      Kojima controls are wonky and not easy at all. the difficulty comes from making yourself look cool playing it. it's always been that way (Death stranding included). mastering the controls in mgs 2 for me was such an amazing feeling. just as in dying constantly in souls games can be a draw for its audience, so is struggling with mgs controls 😂. id minimize the cuts as much as possible. stay around areas mess with the enemy AI, practice the basics try new things get spotted who cares. do not restart levels or let them kill you try fighting back, go with the flow make decisions on the fly. just try stuff as much as you can.
      and you are doing a great job so far.

    2. Call sigint while holding each weapon/item.
    Don't forget to call sigint when wearing the naked camo, and again while under a cardboard box. These 2 calls are some of the funniest in the whole game.

      He honestly struggles when he doesn't use that framework.
      MGS1 was great because it was post-Cold War and post-Gulf War geopolitics, with political treaties, defense contractors being broken apart, and chemical weapons/broken arrows/terrorists potentially being a concern. MGS3 was Cold War at its height, especially with the Cuban Missile Crisis.
      MGS2 and MGS4 had good ideas but it was more speculative and too sci-fi.
      Peacewalker was a mix of both but there was no major historical incident they used. However, Portable Ops - which Kojima didn't participate in (and the gameplay kinda shows)....had a good narrative and idea because it played on 1970s Cold War and Soviet/US shifts of power. It's why a screenwriter like David Hayter thought the script was the best one.
      I think, if there is to be a new Metal Gear game, they need to acknowledge these things.

      @@xLeeroycranex You can see Kojima tried, but was probably burnt out like hell in 2010 with Peace Walker. I think they were onto something with the Cuban rebels/prelude of the Nicaraguan Revolution and how it impacted Big Boss's dream of the Militiaire's San Frontiers (butchered that) expanding and revolting against government jurisdiction. It was more so piggybacking off of PO's theme/setting tho.

    Ahhh, you've finally reached MGS3. I was a game reviewer back when this came out, and was fortunate to cover it. MGS3 is one of my all-time favorite games, and that's not something I say lightly. In the decades since, I've gone back through all the MGS games systematically, looking for every secret, trick, easter egg, etc. I could find and posting them online. I also speedrun MGS3 every once in a while. So, here are a few notes:
    Certain aspects of the game are indeed impacted by the passage of time in real life. This is due to the game reading your system's internal clock settings. And it's not just restoring your health by saving, or if your food rots; try thinking outside the box as to how real time passing could impact something in-game.
    There are _many_ ways to experiment with different items, weapons, and your surroundings. If something can be interacted with, chances are it's for a good reason. Take some time to mess around. For example, the ropes on the bridge can be cut to destabilize it. Mouse traps are good for catching animals that can't be seen by your eyes or equipment. You can also mess with Sokolov before meeting him by shooting or throwing live animals near him. You can make Snake throw up by spinning him around for long enough in the model viewer in the menu. Also, you missed your chance to kill Ocelot while he was unconscious. Seriously, look it up. Be sure to check any/all lockers you might find. Some have excellent rewards. Make sure to completely loot any buildings you infiltrate; MGS3's item/weapon list is massive compared to those in the previous games. Some weapons/items have to be unlocked, but you probably won't get on one playthrough.
    There are many, _many_ ways to mess with the guards as well. CQC, drowning, burning, electrocution, shooting radios... Throwing live poisonous animals at them is fun, as is tempting/distracting/poisoning starving guards with rotten food. You'll be surprised by what you can use TNT on. _All_ of the bosses have hidden secondary strategies to beat them; thinking outside the box will help you immensely. Sometimes these are intentional, others are due to programming bugs. I'll just say that the Cig Gas Spray is my go-to weapon for the final battle. Beating bosses by depleting their stamina will reward you with boss camos, each of which has hidden abilities.
    I won't say how or when, but the cardboard box has one of the most counterintuitive, yet useful hidden abilities that you'll never expect. There is a specific part of the game where you'll never think to use it, and that's _exactly_ where you should. Try looking it up later. Also, there is a fast travel system.
    There are Codec/radio calls for literally every aspect of the game. They spared no expense for the voice acting this time around, so definitely take some time to indulge. You'll find all sorts of interesting details. This is the best support team in the series.
    Make sure you take a good look around during those R1 prompts; they sometimes have something important. For example, you missed a big secret during the R1 prompt after Snake gets thrown off the bridge and washes up by the river. Also, there are hidden R1 scenes that never display button prompts. I recommend that you look them up after you finish the game, as some are spoilerific.
    Lastly, you've got some... interesting theories with regards to the story. Why did The Boss defect? Who was that woman in the chopper with Volgin and Ocelot? Who was that ghost guy that was lurking behind The Boss? How are The Patriots involved in this? Just some things to ponder over.

    I'm not someone who watches livestreams or stuff, never got into Twitch and on UA-cam I don't watch others play, I'd rather play myself, I only watch reactions from time to time of topics I like. However when you began with MGS1 (I think you were only two chapters in) I just found you looking for people who never played MGS to see their reactions in the plot twists and got so hooked into your gameplays.
    I watched a few others but they mostly played live and then uploaded an edited version but, as someone else said here in the comments, I hate how distracted they get, they are sometimes watching too much the comments, missing important parts or getting spoiled by the foreshadowing of people in the chat. But how you do it is great, besides you are always so hooked and paying attention and theorizing (many times you are right beforehand about twists) that it's so engaging. I watched all the MGS1 and MGS2 series (I was looking forward every day I got into youtube if you uploaded the next part) and of course I will watch this one as well.
    Seeing someone like you enjoying your first playthrough of my favourite saga of all time brings me a lot of joy. I discovered MGS back in 2001 and it changed me, I was 10yo and I stopped seeing videogames as a pastime to see them as a form of art. Ever since I use Snake as my nickname every time I can. And MGS2 (exactly today, July 1st, marks the 22nd anniversary since I got it) is my favourite game of all time, not just the saga. The hype I had for every new entry is something I can't describe, none other videogame caused me that.
    Anyway, thank you Whimsy if you read all of this and just some advice going forward. After MGS3 you have to play MGS4 and I don't know if you have the means to do that, if you have a PS3 then great, I don't think it will be hard for you to get the game cheap. Otherwise the only alternative is the RCPS3 emulator if you have a good computer and specially a good CPU, nowadays it's playable but it takes a lot of tinkering to make it work perfectly.
    After that Peace Walker (emulations is probably your best option, either from PSP or preferably RCPS3) and then MGS V without a problem because it's on PS4. That's all the MGS you need. If you want to go beyond after that, the first choice should be Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (it's not canonical but it's an amazing game) and then the MSX games and Portable Ops for the PSP.
    I really hope you can get to play MGS4 and we can get to watch that. Thank you for your videos.

    Commenting this in the middle of the video so dunno if you've already realized this but this game (MGS2 also had it) has a lean/peek mechanic. When in first person view, use the L/R triggers to lean left and right, they're good for peeking through a corner and getting a shot in quickly. When in the grass and lockers, you can also use them and in fact press both at the same time to raise your head above the grass to get a better look at your surroundings. Kinda tricky at first but if you get the hang of it, it's extremely useful.
    Also I think you press R3 to switch between traditional birds eye view camera and normal 3D camera.
    As for CQC, you have to hold O while not moving to grab them, if you are moving then you do a takedown.

    The original Japanese Godzilla was finally released outside of Japan in 2004 for the 50th anniversary, so the conversation was referencing it. MGS3 was also released in 2004.

    Really enjoyed this episode! This is gonna be a great playthrough!
    As a general tip: after stunning or putting an enemy to sleep, the number of stars or Z's above their head indicate how close they are to waking up. The fewer, the closer.
    IIRC: different stuns will produce different amounts of stars (e.g. CQC hit combo > basic CQC throw)
    You might have already worked that out, but it took me a while to notice, so I thought I'd say.

  • @ZayIvory7
    @ZayIvory7 7 днів тому +1

    3 Major things:
    *1.)* This one is something I highly suggest, but admittingly it goes against your nature a bit, so take it or leave it. Everyone loves when you use the codec (Radio in this game) and continue to use it a lot, because there's so much content in the radio in this game its virtually impossible to hear all of it in one playthrough. *But my first suggestion* is actually something I meant to say during your MGS2 run. When you fight **bosses** I would suggest try fighting them for a bit before immediately hitting the radio and finding out about everything you can do to them. The radio is there to help for sure, but you kind of miss out on discovering things yourself when you just get told how to beat them second one. For you I would say fight them to about half health then try getting more info. Give yourself a chance to see what they're about first.
    *2.)* Try to go for non-lethal victories on the bosses. Unlike the previous games you're actually rewarded for it in this game with useful and exclusive gear. The fights also seems somewhat tailored for it as it provides the greatest challenge.
    *3.)* There are two camera modes in the game, and they both have pros and cons. The New camera allows more control of your surroundings, but also is positioned much much closer to you which limits your perspective. The Original camera is like the previous games and takes a lot of control from you, but adds a more cinematic vibe to the playthrough and pulls the camera farther back from Snake allowing you to see at greater distances. When I play I prefer to switch between the two often for different purposes. For example, if you're getting chased by something, the original camera is better because it shows the angles and shots Kojima wanted you to see during that sequence.

  • @Turt89
    @Turt89 4 дні тому +1

    Oh my god, you spent sooooo much time on the codec! I love it!
    One bit of advice, if you or anyone is interested: For boss battles, give it a go first without several calls. One of the best parts of MGS bosses is figuring out yourself the quirks and secrets and the different weaknesses they have. Repeated calls results in the game just spelling it out for you.
    PS good decision on starting over with The Bosses introduction! Super important interaction.

    12:04 It's a United Kingdom and commonwealth thing. Both imperial and metric are used. For example I'm from Northern Ireland so the road signs are all in Miles but the second you travel into the Republic of Ireland (Not apart of the UK) it changes to kilometres. Yet we both use Celsius. But it's very odd for someone who only system of measurement when they visit the UK and see imperial and metric being used side by side for differant things within the same country.
