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.
I'm sure some can balance both, but it's a real challenge for me. I get distracted a lot, so for story heavy games like these, I prefer doing a let's play format. Thank you so much!
@@WhimsyPsyche it's a rough balance few can master, and you've noticed it too playing MGS 1 and 2 not paying attention even for a moment can let you miss critical info or one of the many easter eggs in the world.... MGS3 has ALLOT of hidden easter eggs, references and plain old "KOJIMAAAAAAA moments" :P
Don't listen to those who don't like the codec calling, these games evolved through an era where story telling was at its peak and information within the fibers of the games were integral, the codec provides all, you are playing the games perfect 👌🏻 that's how we all played in 1998, 2001 etc.
Here are a few things to do in this game: 1. Call everyone when wearing each camo/facepaint. 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.
no game has me thinking "forest setting" more than this one. the sound ambience, the birds and foliage; it's such a cool jump from the urban aesthetic in the first 2 games.
“ we didn’t give you any weapons because there can be no trace you were ever there” *immediately rips off his skydiving mask that reads “US ARMY” on it*
Is Jodi Benson. She can't rly say it bc she voices Ariel for Disney since 1989 Granted, it has never been proved, but she is the most likely, since she works a lot with Kriss Zimmerman, is a friend of David Hayter and her voice matches EVA's =)
I recently just searched this up too. A lot of people say it’s Jodi Benson, but also makes sense that she wouldn’t have her personal name her because when you’re doing “Ariel” and also EVA w/ many provocative scenes it wouldn’t have looked well.. that, or that’s one of the guesses
This is probably the best use of 4hrs I've had in recent memory... So many memories brought back and seeing you engage and enjoy them like I did is such a good feeling as a viewer 😊
@@WhimsyPsyche you're welcome Whimsy, I've loved gaming all my days, but the MGS series holds a space in my mind nothing will replace. I'm glad you are enjoying this series and want to play them all and I can say for sure you will love everything that's to come, from the craziness to the pure emotion of a great story 😊 (Genuinely emotional thinking of some of the moments I've had and that you will) All the best!
"Commencing virtuous let's play now!" The beat boxing menu was ICONIC! Thank you for being an amazing content creator and sharing your experience with the world.
I really enjoy watching you play! I played this game to the teeth as a youngster but never drained the codec dialogues like this, I'm learning new stuff here! ^^
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.
This was the first of your MGS videos that I skipped ahead a bit (will watch properly later) because I just sat down to eat and couldnt wait to see you start playing. Btw, one little tip if I may? Always call Para Medic when you collect a new animal, and also right after you eat something new. The conversations are amazing! Truy a highlight of the game.
Para medic: so you caught the Brazilian wondering spider,…… Snake: …. Para medic: you want to know if they taste good don’t you? Snake: yes!!! 😂 always a treat.
@@brendanmurphy1074spoiler for whimsy, don’t click for more please……. For those aquatinted……….. I love the glow caps conversion, and a few more on other food talks.
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.
3h 41m 😅 the codec calls do be like that...very excited for this i hope you love it as much as we all do (Edit) your homemade menu music has me crying 10/10 top tier (Edit 2) the codec has a glitch where sometimes the text will change language or even say the wrong text. Its weird but doesnt happen too often
I'm still... in a dream... Snake Eater! Whimsy, if you are truly a fan of the series, you absolutely must play MGS4: Guns of the Patriots. It 100% connects all three previous games like you wouldn't believe. Your mind will be absolutely blown by the information provided.
OMG I can't wait to see you play this, it is by far my favorite MGS game and easly in my top 5.. maybe even top 3 games of all time. I'm even breaking some rules by ordering a pizza and rolling a joint for this "EVENT". Thanks so much Whimsy
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.
I'm impressed the way you got the hints upon those Codec conversations. I'm pretty sure you'll gonna love this game a lot . I've done watching all your playthroughs with MG1 and 2.
Thanks for playing this one. It holds a special place in my heart. I was 13 when it came out and playing through it back then, when it was the most advanced game out at the time, was pretty mind blowing. I was completely immersed and still remember getting my homework done early just so I could get a little further in the game, before bed.
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.
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.
YESSS! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! I love your theories with MGS1 and 2! Looking forward to thisss... I'll be waiting for your more videos soon after I watch this.
It's very good to find someone who takes the time to use the codec, then there are people who wonder things about the story or mechanics of the game and don't realize that the codec has the answers they need
I'm only 6 minutes into this, and you earned a new subscriber with your tribute to that classic Konami logo music! I can already tell this is gonna be a great chill playthrough of one of the best video games of all time.
Yayy, I’ve been waiting for the start of this series since I came across your channel! Just as a tip to see some of the fun Easter eggs, you can go into first person view in most cutscenes by pressing R1, even when there’s no on-screen prompt
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.
Normally don’t do this but since this is my favorite game of all time and I loved the previous play thoughts I became a member just to watch this. Also as you’ve probably noticed this game has by far the most codex calls in all the games but most of the calls are great. After playing this game and previous two I’m sure the urge to play mgs4 is gonna be big. I know it was for me back in the day.
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.
I love how thourough you are when it comes to playing games. You always take time to listen to as much codec calls as you can, you really pay attention to every details, both gameplaywise and storywise, and you are so good at theorizing, catching on every clue and figuring shit out that I never did on my first playthroughs. You're the best, Whimsy. It didn't take me long to subscribe and I'm sure you'll grow fast. Love from France.
53:55 The importance of first-person view is a little overstated in this version, because it now features the free-movement "third-person" camera that was introduced in the re-released "Substance", then later HD, version. Click the R3 button (right stick) to switch to the overhead "normal" view, for a taste of how the original game played. In some areas, it is actually advantageous, because it was the director's decision on how the fixed camera was positioned for certain environment/scenes (the stick can also be titled, to see farther ahead, so it's not as limiting as previous games). Anyway, I'm thoroughly enjoying your playthroughs. Keep up the good work! EDIT: 2:01:16 Looks like you accidentally found out the overhead view option while fiddling with the sniper rifle controls 😄
Yes! So glad you're enjoying the codecs and all the weirdest aspects of the series. I just caught up and love how you're appreciating the ai parts at the end of 2 also. Snake Eater is the high point. It's a masterpiece. Enjoy!
This is gonna be a fun watch. I've been dying to show this game to a friend but they've been busy. This will be a perfect way to supplement that desire.
Perfect rendition of the intro. 27:25 Yeeees! The T-Rex position! Thought the same thing. 😂 32:15 I hate the suppressor durability. 01:13:05 It reads the clock from the console when you saved and then again when you load. That way the game knows how long you were taking a break. 01:44:00 Haha, I don't think I had those French subtitles. Maybe a bug? 02:07:00 Yeah, did the same thing for most situations like this. Just restart by lrtting them kill me. Yeah, auto saves are on each area change, just like in the other games. 02:17:15 Yeeees! The beeeees! 02:45:25 Too bad he meows anymore. 03:15:40 It's sooo James Bond! Super fun episode! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend, Whimsy!
Even though I have played and watched the game, I am watching it again your videos. I also played and finished mgs 2 while watching your broadcasts. I was really looking forward to this one. I like the mgs games but I also liked your broadcasts and your accent and playing style are very good.
I love your channel Whimsy. I also have to say, if not enough people say it to you: I love how you listen to the Codec calls! Especially in that MGS2 play through. I heard dialogue that I honestly didn't even know existed thanks to you! 😆 and that's coming from someone who's beaten the game more than once and owned MGS2 since it released. Keep doing you! 🖤
Practically spent my childhood till becoming a working adult being a huge metal gear fan. Been loving your playthroughs, your theories and your attention to detail! For selfish reasons, I hope you'll keep the momentum going with peace walker and mgs4 after this (somehow) and not to wait for vol.2. MGS4 ties the mgs series so perfectly and one of my fav games ever!
Excellent point about mixing real world events with the games fiction. I've always felt the same way. It was done brilliantly. Enjoy the game, it's a great one. P.s. If you click R3 you switch between over the shoulder view and top down. Over the shoulder view is the default and best way to play tho. Also, equipment weight effects your speed and stamina souls style.
12:01 Haha, yeah the unit system in the US military is all over the place. The US Army and Marine Corps for example use mostly the metric system as they meassure distances in meters and kilometers, whereas the US Air Force and Navy mostly use the imperial system. But it's not even that straight forward, for example I've seen US Army helicopters that show the outside air temperature in Celsius and the internal temperature in Fahrenheit on the same display. It really is all over the place 😄
@1:43:47 😨The game recognized Whimsy's accent and changed the subtitles to French for a moment XD Honestly though, that would've freaked me out, extreme 4th wall break!
I just finished your MGS2 playthrough a few days after watching the MGS playthrough. So I've been waiting on this one! This was a great surprise to see this morning!
Already what i was hoping: You make all the optional calls even before walking around, and already get many enjoyable codec dialogues with some gute laughs :D
Wow, youre a smart cookie, a lot of what you theorise is correct throughout the series so far. Dont doubt yourself too much, you clearly understand Kojimas madness. I love your theorising and you clearly take an actual interest in understanding the lore. MGS franchise ive been playing for 25 years and watched countless youtubers recently playing the series for the first time. Alongside Macopolops youre the best streamer for this series. Cant wait for part 2
You're doing great with your patience. When you're alert the enemy just use that as time to experiment with cqc and other techniques. Dont have to run and hide every time.
You're the correct person to play this type of games. You pay a lot of attention to the small details and explode the codec as it should be. I just found your playlist playing MGS2 and it was great. I usually don't enjoy looking at people playing games because they fake and rush a lot, but your reaction seems genuine. I'll be looking forward to the upcoming videos until you complete the saga. 👍
I had never looked forward this much for a Let's Play series on UA-cam in my life! Since your MGS1 video, I was highly hooked and satisfied by how you play this series (probably mentioned many times by many people: exhausting all the Codec.) Many other UA-cam channels were either too distracted by the chat when they played and miss some important plots, some edited out the Codec section, and some are just impatient to do the Codec. I don't know about other viewers but I don't mind you experiment the gameplay, gets a Game Over and Continue. Or maybe you mind getting game overs lol A lot of the technique can be found by messing around, and I believe most people find the details/easter eggs through messing around and game overs. Are you planning to do a reaction video on MGS3 Delta (Remake) trailer once you finished this whole game? Super looking forward to your next episode!!!
2:40:40 Yup that’s the idea they were trying to convey there ^^ They are speaking Russian but we, the viewer/player, are hearing English. Kojima actually originally wanted everyone to learn and speak Russian for the game and they were like… “Sir. No thank you.” And he’s like “Ok fine I guess I can make it so they’re speaking Russian without speaking Russian xD”
Was watching the GTA series waiting for this! Mgs2 was my favorite game as a child. and Mgs3 was my favorite as a young adult. This game take the mechanics of the 1st 2 games and absolutely "awww, little guy!"ed them lmao. So looking forward to the Ladder section. genuinely hope that isn't copywritten
Yessss, this is gonna be awesome! I’m so glad you’re doing the codec calls as well, it’s so sad when folks ignore them 😭 Definitely try calling the crew while wearing various camos or using new weapons, sigint usually has some wisdom to share 😄
Oh Whimsy, I love it already.😍 This is not a criticism. You asked. Sokolov did not arrive in Cuba. He arrived in West-Berlin. 600 miles in two weeks on unofficial routes. That is why he was beyond exhausted, therefore he spoke only incoherent.
The beat box over the muted menu music cracked me up 😂😂😂 been looking forward to this one! Should have started the video with "kept you waiting huh" ❤ keep up the good work 🫡💪
This is definitely the game you want to go through as many codec calls as you can! Glad you have been putting it through its paces, though try to call while equipped with as many items, weapons and camos to get even more convos as well as eating foods.

Thank you for doing these pre-recorded and not live-streams. I can't stand how distracted the live-streamers get.
I'm sure some can balance both, but it's a real challenge for me. I get distracted a lot, so for story heavy games like these, I prefer doing a let's play format.
Thank you so much!
100% agree!

Don't listen to those who don't like the codec calling, these games evolved through an era where story telling was at its peak and information within the fibers of the games were integral, the codec provides all, you are playing the games perfect 👌🏻 that's how we all played in 1998, 2001 etc.
Exactly
*Exactly!!!*
People against the codec calls don’t understand how these games are intended to be played.
One of the things i love is that after MGS2, they made sure right away in this one to show that your backup team actually physically exists.
lol i never thought about it but youre right. would have been skeptical the whole time
My mind was blown when i found out my GOOFY ASS support team in this game were actually the founder of this universe's Illuminati.
@@jallar4 Illuminati 2.0, the philosophers were the REAL illuminati xD
Defeating bosses by draining their stamina earns you special camouflages.
I thought so!!! Nice
Here are a few things to do in this game:
1. Call everyone when wearing each camo/facepaint.
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.
1 hour 20 minutes in and you havent moved from the starting area, I love it lol.
She started leaving at1:36 LMAO. She spent 52 minutes on codec calls.😂😂
I did the same on my first play through
I did warn you guys at the beginning 🤣
@@WhimsyPsycheamazing, well done!
no game has me thinking "forest setting" more than this one. the sound ambience, the birds and foliage; it's such a cool jump from the urban aesthetic in the first 2 games.

LMAOOO I never thought of that 🤣🤣
The voice actress for Eva is credited as Suzetta Miñet. This is a pseudonym, and for 20 years we still don't know who the actual voice actress is.
Is Jodi Benson.
She can't rly say it bc she voices Ariel for Disney since 1989
Granted, it has never been proved, but she is the most likely, since she works a lot with Kriss Zimmerman, is a friend of David Hayter and her voice matches EVA's =)

We are happy you pay attention to the codecs. You don't see many players do that anymore sadly. They are full of helpful info and funny jokes.
If you kill Ocelot while he's knocked out on the ground you'll get a game over with Colonel Campbell saying you've created a time paradox.
The implications of the time paradox game overs are mind-blowing.
I never knew this, lol. I always let him live because I like his character. He is the Boss's son after all.
It's also a reference to Back To the Future. Since Colonel's seiyuu also dubbed Doc Brown.
"You're pretty good!"
Codec shenanigans was fun! I missed out on so much including the french subtitle one
That was SO weird right?! 🤣
I really enjoy watching you play! I played this game to the teeth as a youngster but never drained the codec dialogues like this, I'm learning new stuff here! ^^
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.
Really appreciate how you listen to all the codec calls. This is something a completionist does so it is impressive that you do it.
But 52 minutes of straight codec calls? Thats outrages.
@@fernandosepulveda7297 how
This was the first of your MGS videos that I skipped ahead a bit (will watch properly later) because I just sat down to eat and couldnt wait to see you start playing.
Btw, one little tip if I may? Always call Para Medic when you collect a new animal, and also right after you eat something new. The conversations are amazing! Truy a highlight of the game.
This. Right here.
Para medic: so you caught the Brazilian wondering spider,……
Snake: ….
Para medic: you want to know if they taste good don’t you?
Snake: yes!!!
😂 always a treat.
My favourite is the rabbit conversation! 😂
@@brendanmurphy1074spoiler for whimsy, don’t click for more please……. For those aquatinted………..
I love the glow caps conversion, and a few more on other food talks.
nope, she should call her right after she grabs the animal, para medic will tell you if it tastes good or bad if can poison you, same with siigint
Your codec call calling is what makes it really run lets play. I love playthroughs that focus on lore. Keep it up.
I just finished watching your MGS1 and MGS2 playtroughs back to back. MGS3 is my favorite in the series so I'm really excited to see your playtrough.
Aaah that's awesome thank you! Hope you enjoy this one as well!
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.
3h 41m 😅 the codec calls do be like that...very excited for this i hope you love it as much as we all do
(Edit) your homemade menu music has me crying 10/10 top tier
(Edit 2) the codec has a glitch where sometimes the text will change language or even say the wrong text. Its weird but doesnt happen too often
Hahaha I'm glad you liked that!
This type of glitch just makes me suspicious because of MGS2 😭 I'm traumatized lmaooo
I'm still... in a dream... Snake Eater!
Whimsy, if you are truly a fan of the series, you absolutely must play MGS4: Guns of the Patriots. It 100% connects all three previous games like you wouldn't believe. Your mind will be absolutely blown by the information provided.
1:13:22
The game actively monitors the time and date on your console.
Your final part with your Boss cosplay was in my recommended list. That alone has earnt a full watch of your playthrough and a subscription!
02:42:53 She's crushing on Ocelot! That's so funny. To be fair, that's a hell of an intro, plus the theme song! It makes Ocelot look cooler!
Hint: There's a lot of hidden R1 scenes in cutscenes where it doesn't say R1 😎
OMG I can't wait to see you play this, it is by far my favorite MGS game and easly in my top 5.. maybe even top 3 games of all time.
I'm even breaking some rules by ordering a pizza and rolling a joint for this "EVENT".
Thanks so much Whimsy
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.
Revolver Ocelot's "roar" call was so funny, lmao 🐆🤣
I love all your theories and conspiracies, is what I like the most about your videos, and the fact that you are usually just on point!
Hugely excited for this. I really hope they port MGS4 to PC because MGS 1-4 is truly a brilliant quadrilogy.
I would love to see MGS4 in a easier-to-play format!
Great use of the rarely-used word quadrilogy
I'm impressed the way you got the hints upon those Codec conversations. I'm pretty sure you'll gonna love this game a lot . I've done watching all your playthroughs with MG1 and 2.
Just staring to watch your playthrough now I'm so excited!! I hope you have a blast playing the game!!
Thanks for playing this one. It holds a special place in my heart. I was 13 when it came out and playing through it back then, when it was the most advanced game out at the time, was pretty mind blowing. I was completely immersed and still remember getting my homework done early just so I could get a little further in the game, before bed.
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.
I noticed the Zs yes!! Very neat mechanic
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.
Are you ok?men jajajjjaaj
This is super handy for my first full playthrough, thanks
YESSS! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!
I love your theories with MGS1 and 2! Looking forward to thisss... I'll be waiting for your more videos soon after I watch this.
It's very good to find someone who takes the time to use the codec, then there are people who wonder things about the story or mechanics of the game and don't realize that the codec has the answers they need
I'm only 6 minutes into this, and you earned a new subscriber with your tribute to that classic Konami logo music! I can already tell this is gonna be a great chill playthrough of one of the best video games of all time.
always nice to see a new player play this legendary game
Yayy, I’ve been waiting for the start of this series since I came across your channel! Just as a tip to see some of the fun Easter eggs, you can go into first person view in most cutscenes by pressing R1, even when there’s no on-screen prompt
So excited to watch you play mgs more!
It doesn't matter at all if you do good or bad in gameplay, we're all here to see you enjoy the story and game's interactivity
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.
idk if anyone else felt the same but the intro for snake eater really blew my mind i was not expecting the best intro to a game i’ve ever seen
Normally don’t do this but since this is my favorite game of all time and I loved the previous play thoughts I became a member just to watch this. Also as you’ve probably noticed this game has by far the most codex calls in all the games but most of the calls are great. After playing this game and previous two I’m sure the urge to play mgs4 is gonna be big. I know it was for me back in the day.
Aah that's awesome, thank you for becoming a member! I appreciate that ❤️
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.
I love how thourough you are when it comes to playing games. You always take time to listen to as much codec calls as you can, you really pay attention to every details, both gameplaywise and storywise, and you are so good at theorizing, catching on every clue and figuring shit out that I never did on my first playthroughs. You're the best, Whimsy. It didn't take me long to subscribe and I'm sure you'll grow fast.
Love from France.
Me: "Oh this is a long video we should get to that part."
*spends 75 minutes in the codec*
53:55 The importance of first-person view is a little overstated in this version, because it now features the free-movement "third-person" camera that was introduced in the re-released "Substance", then later HD, version.
Click the R3 button (right stick) to switch to the overhead "normal" view, for a taste of how the original game played. In some areas, it is actually advantageous, because it was the director's decision on how the fixed camera was positioned for certain environment/scenes (the stick can also be titled, to see farther ahead, so it's not as limiting as previous games).
Anyway, I'm thoroughly enjoying your playthroughs. Keep up the good work!
EDIT: 2:01:16 Looks like you accidentally found out the overhead view option while fiddling with the sniper rifle controls 😄
Yes! So glad you're enjoying the codecs and all the weirdest aspects of the series. I just caught up and love how you're appreciating the ai parts at the end of 2 also.
Snake Eater is the high point. It's a masterpiece. Enjoy!
I love your Metal Gear Content! Binging all week!
This is gonna be a fun watch. I've been dying to show this game to a friend but they've been busy. This will be a perfect way to supplement that desire.
You are the only one who plays this series right. Always enjoying it. Thanks
We are so back! I didnt want this episode to end. You're pretty good 👉👉
Hahaha thank you so much!! 🥰
this is my fav metal gear solid game, definitely here for the ride! Also, whimsy beatboxing ftw
Liking this before even watching because I know you're going to find so many eggs and lore.
You're so sweet haha thank you!
Perfect rendition of the intro.
27:25 Yeeees! The T-Rex position! Thought the same thing. 😂
32:15 I hate the suppressor durability.
01:13:05 It reads the clock from the console when you saved and then again when you load. That way the game knows how long you were taking a break.
01:44:00 Haha, I don't think I had those French subtitles. Maybe a bug?
02:07:00 Yeah, did the same thing for most situations like this. Just restart by lrtting them kill me.
Yeah, auto saves are on each area change, just like in the other games.
02:17:15 Yeeees! The beeeees!
02:45:25 Too bad he meows anymore.
03:15:40 It's sooo James Bond!
Super fun episode! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend, Whimsy!
1:47:50 its called QUICKSAND Whimsy! 😂
Quicksand... in the mud, in the jungle, with crocodiles... mmh yes sure 🤣
I am so excited for this!!! Loving your series play-through, it's been a joy to watch.
2:41:56 “what is he doing?”
He’s Kamehamehaing… leave him alone 🤣
Even though I have played and watched the game, I am watching it again your videos. I also played and finished mgs 2 while watching your broadcasts. I was really looking forward to this one. I like the mgs games but I also liked your broadcasts and your accent and playing style are very good.
I love your channel Whimsy. I also have to say, if not enough people say it to you: I love how you listen to the Codec calls! Especially in that MGS2 play through. I heard dialogue that I honestly didn't even know existed thanks to you! 😆 and that's coming from someone who's beaten the game more than once and owned MGS2 since it released. Keep doing you! 🖤
Practically spent my childhood till becoming a working adult being a huge metal gear fan. Been loving your playthroughs, your theories and your attention to detail! For selfish reasons, I hope you'll keep the momentum going with peace walker and mgs4 after this (somehow) and not to wait for vol.2. MGS4 ties the mgs series so perfectly and one of my fav games ever!
Really excited to watch this playthrough! I've tagged along since you played MGS1. Thanks for sharing your playthroughs! The hype for Delta is real!
36:40 My favorite codec conversation in this ENTIRE game. 😢
06:27 wow, now i need a asmr mgs3 gameplay lol
Excellent point about mixing real world events with the games fiction. I've always felt the same way. It was done brilliantly. Enjoy the game, it's a great one. P.s.
If you click R3 you switch between over the shoulder view and top down. Over the shoulder view is the default and best way to play tho. Also, equipment weight effects your speed and stamina souls style.
its really nice to see you exploring these games. it reminds me back in the days when i played the games first time. so good.
I love that!! That's so nice 🥰
2:43:35
"Why is he so hot?"
Because he's revolver Ocelot!!!
12:01 Haha, yeah the unit system in the US military is all over the place. The US Army and Marine Corps for example use mostly the metric system as they meassure distances in meters and kilometers, whereas the US Air Force and Navy mostly use the imperial system. But it's not even that straight forward, for example I've seen US Army helicopters that show the outside air temperature in Celsius and the internal temperature in Fahrenheit on the same display. It really is all over the place 😄
YES! In my opinion the best MGS, I loved it back in the day. Have fun Whimsy, you'll love it :)
Whimsy: Oh no, he's hot
Ocelot: mrow~
Whimsy: 👁️👄👁️
@1:43:47 😨The game recognized Whimsy's accent and changed the subtitles to French for a moment XD Honestly though, that would've freaked me out, extreme 4th wall break!
I just finished your MGS2
playthrough a few days after watching the MGS playthrough. So I've been waiting on this one! This was a great surprise to see this morning!
Using the codec a lot is the mark of a true mgs player. This is gonna be good
that custome intro was perfect thank you so much XD
Hahaha I'm glad you liked it!!
@@WhimsyPsyche Finally got to finish the episode, THANK GOODNESS you go through all the codecs, I hope you enjoy it because I enjoyed watching you! :D
So happy you said that you plan on playing MGS4 because it's my favorite one!!
Already what i was hoping: You make all the optional calls even before walking around, and already get many enjoyable codec dialogues with some gute laughs :D
Aah I'm glad!
Wow, youre a smart cookie, a lot of what you theorise is correct throughout the series so far. Dont doubt yourself too much, you clearly understand Kojimas madness.
I love your theorising and you clearly take an actual interest in understanding the lore.
MGS franchise ive been playing for 25 years and watched countless youtubers recently playing the series for the first time.
Alongside Macopolops youre the best streamer for this series.
Cant wait for part 2
You're doing great with your patience. When you're alert the enemy just use that as time to experiment with cqc and other techniques. Dont have to run and hide every time.
The waiting for this was driving me crazy ngl
You're the correct person to play this type of games.
You pay a lot of attention to the small details and explode the codec as it should be.
I just found your playlist playing MGS2 and it was great.
I usually don't enjoy looking at people playing games because they fake and rush a lot, but your reaction seems genuine. I'll be looking forward to the upcoming videos until you complete the saga. 👍
I had never looked forward this much for a Let's Play series on UA-cam in my life!
Since your MGS1 video, I was highly hooked and satisfied by how you play this series (probably mentioned many times by many people: exhausting all the Codec.)
Many other UA-cam channels were either too distracted by the chat when they played and miss some important plots, some edited out the Codec section, and some are just impatient to do the Codec.
I don't know about other viewers but I don't mind you experiment the gameplay, gets a Game Over and Continue. Or maybe you mind getting game overs lol
A lot of the technique can be found by messing around, and I believe most people find the details/easter eggs through messing around and game overs.
Are you planning to do a reaction video on MGS3 Delta (Remake) trailer once you finished this whole game?
Super looking forward to your next episode!!!
2:40:40 Yup that’s the idea they were trying to convey there ^^ They are speaking Russian but we, the viewer/player, are hearing English.
Kojima actually originally wanted everyone to learn and speak Russian for the game and they were like… “Sir. No thank you.” And he’s like “Ok fine I guess I can make it so they’re speaking Russian without speaking Russian xD”
27:09
The game takes place in the 1960's. In Universe, nano-machines haven't been invented yet.
Was watching the GTA series waiting for this! Mgs2 was my favorite game as a child. and Mgs3 was my favorite as a young adult. This game take the mechanics of the 1st 2 games and absolutely "awww, little guy!"ed them lmao. So looking forward to the Ladder section. genuinely hope that isn't copywritten
2:26:48 That's the bullet that jammed on his pistol when he met Snake for the first time.
i love seeing someone else really appreciate the codec calls.
I bingewatch the holy entity out of your MGS stuff. finally here we go, my most favourite game of all time. cannot wait.
Aaah that's amazing thank you so much! I hope you continue to enjoy 🥰
Yessss, this is gonna be awesome! I’m so glad you’re doing the codec calls as well, it’s so sad when folks ignore them 😭 Definitely try calling the crew while wearing various camos or using new weapons, sigint usually has some wisdom to share 😄
Oh Whimsy, I love it already.😍 This is not a criticism. You asked. Sokolov did not arrive in Cuba. He arrived in West-Berlin. 600 miles in two weeks on unofficial routes. That is why he was beyond exhausted, therefore he spoke only incoherent.
Aaah I need to rewatch. I didn't understand that correctly 🤣 Thank you for the clarification!
3:10:22 Amazing how you looked at every spot but the one spot that had something!
The beat box over the muted menu music cracked me up 😂😂😂 been looking forward to this one! Should have started the video with "kept you waiting huh" ❤ keep up the good work 🫡💪
This is definitely the game you want to go through as many codec calls as you can! Glad you have been putting it through its paces, though try to call while equipped with as many items, weapons and camos to get even more convos as well as eating foods.
