I appreciate the capstone at the end of the video regarding “games/stories getting political”. It’s sad that people become irate when people delve into the irl politics of a story. One aspect of storytelling is the mirror it shows us that can either reflect our world, the writer, or even us. Maybe people just don’t want to face that aspect-which sucks. I’ve been writing a script which relates to storytelling and politics, so this was encouraging for me. Anyway, forgive my ranting. I really appreciate your perspective on this series and your vids in general, dude!

hope you enjoyed! thanks for all the support this year, this video specifically helped reignite more passion for making videos, the quicker turn around time was a good motivator! onto mgs3 next! also, follow me on bluesky, as of this videos release i've abandoned twitter. bsky.app/profile/nafann.bsky.social

yasssssss

New nafan video, let's go!

Please never stop making these, genuinely an inspiration

43:19 bruh

3:10:04 that horn is probably tethered to the ASM, the Pork Man will be driven to insanity as it keeps playing that jingle FOR EH VURRR FOR EH VURRR I'm NGL It wouldve put a huge grin on my face if he sent me out with one last "Spankety Spankety"

It’s just a summary, not analysis

such a shame that people only see you as the “earthbound guy” when your other videos are so great

Great video!

It’s ironic considering how important and formative Halo CE and Halo 2 were for me that I don’t think I’ve ever played Halo 3 to completion. My family opted for a Wii instead, and we were very much a one console family. The campaign in particular has always been kind of an opaque glass to me - something I see bits and pieces of over the years but never experience in its entirety. I think it was for the better though because it kinda forced me to go into the other direction and explore the Marathon Trilogy, something that was almost as if not more informative and influential to me than Halo CE was. Though Halo 3 always kept that mysterious allure because I never got to play it despite so badly wanting to

the early bird catches the worm

I have never played mother I sub just found your channel

I tried this game and didn't get on with how slow the walking speed was.

I don't know how many Mother 3 videos I've watched. But there are some many passionate works with insane lengths and perspectives. I love this side of youtube

Bro your video quality is goated. It’s insane that your videos are still slept on!

I enjoyed the video until the half way point where the narrator exposes his home-oh ideology.

Is this Virtuous Signal Mission ?

Heya, just wanted to say, very good video. MGS2 is the equivalent of my special interest, so i always keep my eye out for new videos on it. I'm annoyed i never came across yours until now, especially cause i literally have typed in "MGS2 Analysis" before lol It's nice to find one a video on this game that hasn't been made by some (american equivalent) right wing conspiracy weirdo who try and say MGS2 predicted "shadow banning" and pronouns too. I disagreed a little bit on some things on Emma's character, but that's about it from what I remember. I think i would have liked to have heard more about your thoughts on Jack and Rose, and their commentary on romances in video games but over all, very well done- for the quality provided I'm surprised your views aren't higher. Definitely going to check out your other MGS videos.

a lot of the "child-like wonder" stuff is just kinda, translation errors / translators toning it down / adapting it for a non-Japanese audience

I think the fact you weren’t able to beat Undyne and Sans when other people are doing crazy harder versions and no hit runs is a fresh perspective because that means stopping you, worked.

Re: there being nothing quite like Mother, even in games inspired by it: Lisa is always my go-to recommendation for something that feels like Mother. In part because it is so different. It's not "another Mother game" but moreso a dark reflection of the themes of Mother. Mother is ultimately about love (of a mother), and familiar and social connections and how important they are to us as people. And Lisa is about everything toxically wrong with masculinity, and the shunning of social connections and replacing them with... drugs, working out to an insane degree, meaningless sex, violence, etc. Lisa is everything Mother isn't and it makes it such a worthwhile game to play, if you can stomach the dark themes and content. Another good one is Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass, which I'd describe as "Mother if the whole game was Magicant." Absolutely amazing Mother-inspired game.

3:46 you added some extra voices here making it hard to make out what either of them are saying

I tear up about buzz buzz everytime i hear the intro to onett durin the sunrise cause he never lives to see it

I was not expecting an acknowledgement of country at the beginning of a video about a weird ass 90s pc game. Pretty neat

Something I interpreted but I don't think anybody's ever mentioned - I've always liked how Snake yet again feels pulled back into war, but he's managed to do so on his own terms, fighting for something he believes in. It's like hes accepted this is his lot in life, so he tries to make the best of it.

Maybe I'm just a gullible doofus, but when I first played MGS2, I genuinely wondered whether Pliskin was actually Snake or not. If it's not just me being gullible I think there's something to be said about how effectively the game makes you question what's in front of your very eyes.

With Meryl, I think her fawning adulation of Snake is given at least some texture when she calls him a "sad, lonely man" just after the Psycho Mantis fight. It doesn't really stick the landing, but I think they were going for something - where someone who's seen as much death and destruction as Snake wouldn't be a wisecracking hero to most people, but a bitter broken shell of a person.

That opening cutscenes was something I didn't like at all when I first played Halo 2, but it's grown on me the more I revisit it. Too often before that and even today you see antagonists just dust themselves off after a massive failure and try again, so it's actually really cool to see failure actually have the political fallout and finger-pointing there realistically would be.

I don't think analysing the game is disrespectful it's more like wasting energy because there are unlimited amount of perspectives

I also really hate the movement in the land of time, just as much as I'm sure everyone does. However, there's a way easier way to get the passcode for the computer rather than translating the answer to the riddle. you don't need to translate the language at all. instead, if (while you are there) you go into one of the extra rooms in the temple of the land of dreaming, you are shown a vision of the exact passcode for the computer.

On Jeff and Dr. Andonuts brief meeting and lack of being an actual moment I feel speaks to Dr. Andonut's emotional distance with his own son.

1:28:30 I still have no idea how I beat the bass first try ... I guess I just got lucky

After playing the Oracles, the cap comes as a severe disappointment. The concept is flawless, but the game design is very lazy for a zelda game.

New Nafan video, let's go!

Putting all 3 vids on to have a marathon!

SO PUMPED TO WATCH THIS !!!!!!!!

I just finished a reply of mgs3, so you caught me at just the right time

painfully underrated video. i’ve been scrounging for metro content because i’ve recently fell in love with the metro universe. i’m running out odd videos to watch in between reading the books

The muffet battle idea at 44:50 is the NSMB piranha plant pipe minigame

damn amazing video!! worth the two hours and a half we may not agree on everything but it's so cool seeing the perspective of new people of this game

i love how the whole point of the undying the undyn fight to be as hard as she can cuz she was meant to stop you she did her best to stop you, and in a sense she really did, she achieved her goal

1:40:55 one of my biggest complaints abt this game is in this spot, how asgore, one of the most hurt and burdened person in this group, who've seen and fought in the war, seen freedom of his and everyone he loves gets away making him losing his home, lost his two kids at once thenlost his wife and lost his home again so he had to make 'new home' , burdened with keeping everyone hopeful and finding a solution right there at the end with a '''supposed resolution''' even if fake bc ya flowey, he's used as a joke, nothing but a comic relief character that gets made fun of, hell even his sprite stops being serious and becomes silly. and even after beating asriel....the dialogue still treals his as a comic relief esp with the anime question We literally have both sans and papyrus please we didn't need another comic relief character, he's the most miserable, nuanced, intersting character in this dynamic, WHYYY

fav part of this game is how diff our experiences are, the 1:27:00 part of the undyne part was the most obvious to me, i was like ya no shit now i know what that fish house i saw earlier is for, the game rewarded my exploration and curiousity in a game that pushes you too look around, read every dialgoue and care about every character and try to conncet the pieces, it felt great to go fuck yea i knew it !! if it was diff i most def wouldn't have liked it as much but you would have liked it more but this way i like it more but you ofc didn't like it as much, i don't think changing the call location is great, bc that's the point, subverting expectations.....and it being after the fight is way too on th nose, i mean the papyrus date ide ais mentoned in the middle of the fight with him, same here ofc BUT i do get your point and frustruations so yea i guess you can't win them all. but well in a sense this is a game about choices and consquences afterall

omg i love the mute child in an rpg joke

hope im not being rude but im so confused on how much you kept mentioning how odd it is the game uses arrow keys, but that's pretty normal for 2D games esp indie games like hollow knight in 2017 and the 2018 game of the year contender celeste 2018 so it's really not that out of the ordinary
