Did you know the psycho mantis actually like you actually take control of psychometrics as well in the beginning of the game you can tell cuz if you look very closely you can see a psycho mantis has a horn on his head like just like snake
I played mgs5 in front of my ex-girlfriend, and I remember her saying, in response to actual gameplay (not cutscenes), "This is just like a movie." I'm sure that's what Kojima wants to hear.
Whoever did the voice work for Master Miller needs more than a medal. They should be knighted or something. He has some of the most cheesiest lines ever, and yet, it always sounds epic.
Painfully slowly recounting the plot of a game while pointlessly diverting to fucking *PT* for a few minutes and then adding pseudowank is not hard. It's quite easy.
I don’t think Kojima’s storytelling is cohesive, but it is intriguing. I want it to complete, and resolve, but it never does. It’s like jazz. Themes upon themes. Makes you think there is loads there, but you’re left with a feeling of smoke and mirrors and wizard of Oz. So convoluted, and utterly preposterous in its literal names and crazy characters. Yet, we love this absurd world he has built. Ridiculous and wonderful.
@@maskingtables that makes sense as he wanted to tie up the series earlier… but I would argue that the previous MGSs had crazy plot developments and characters that didn’t really go anywhere as well. As cool as they were! Death Stranding is mad as a box of frogs too ☺️
i played this game start to finish like 5 times while I was serving in Germany then my friend (he was a huge metal gear fan) was like "you never played the others??" turned me onto the series so i played mgs1 and then 2, but when i got to 3 i was like "IM PLAYING VENOM SNAKE" the ending of MGSV TOTALLY flew over my head because i just never payed that much attention. Watching you talk about this games has only confirmed that these games have quite the dope story i still wish we could get Metal gear solid rising 2 :( PS: if you have not played Death Stranding i recommend it, I no lifed it on my last deployment and was not disappointed!! I super excited to see what game Kojima Productions makes next!
A thing I don't see people talking about is that when Venom Snake punches the mirror the image of Diamon Dog on the door behing bin changes to the skull of Outer Heaven
While I know it's only fan content, there was a comic that came out just after MGSV "Last Day in Outer Heaven" and it serves as a nice punctuation to the end of MG1 with the new context we have.
Mission 43: Shining Lights, Even in Death lives in my mind as the greatest moment in all of Metal Gear and quite possibly one of the best moments in all of gaming
28:22 Fun Fact: Because of technological leaps over the previous games/hardware, in the "Eliminate the Renegade Threats" mission, there's a tactic you could only do on the "next gen" versions of Ground Zeroes. The draw distance went out far enough that with a sniper rifle, you could actually see both targets at their starting locations from the hill near the helicopter drop point and take them out. On the older systems, one was too far aware to render and couldn't be shot.
As someone who kept saying "You should do Metal Gear Solid" like 3 years ago, I feel a sense of false pride. I'll shut up now, do videos on whatever you want.
Being able to play as a woman in the game-even though it was incongruous with the story beats-was freaking awesome. My Snake is a badass chick everywhere but the cutscenes and it makes the game extra special to me
...what if Strangelove called for the inspection? Huey was just supporting the mother of his child? Blaming everyone but himself because he couldn't blame his partner?
Thank you, son. Thank you. 3 and a half hrs. I can't even begin to imagine how long this video must have taken you. Or this entire MGS series. Thank you.
I have played hours of MGSV on both PS3 and PS4 having platinum both. I revisited the game once again, because of the 9 years meme, now on PC. The gameplay was so fine tuned that I am instantly able to get use of the controls right away.
Hell yeah finally!!! My favorite MGS. Took me a couple of tries and retries and sittings; but when it clicks... perfection. Its also insanely well optimized yet looks amazing. Fox engine is incredible
I fucking LOVE MGSV. its overrhated by fanboys that hate new things. its Raiden all over again, except now we don't have a future title that makes people get over being wrong.
MGSV is my favorite game of all time, not just because of the gameplay, the story is great too. A lot of people dont like it, and it's very controversial due to david hayter not voicing snake, the kojima-konami split, etc. Gameplay-wise, the combination of GZ and TPP really feel like the ultimate metal gear game. Controls are some of the best in *any* 3rd person shooter game both for console and pc. Story-wise though, TPP seems closer to MGS2, making the player part of the game's story: YOU are (the phantom of) big boss, YOU recruited an army of soldiers from the battlefield, and YOU disarmed every single nuke in the world. And thats why I love it. I've got damn near 500 hours in this game and I'm not afraid to put in 500 more.
Probably my favorite headcanon about the series is that Miller and Venom became closer friends after they both knew the truth, and that Miller assisting Solid Snake in his training and in Metal Gear 2 on the codec was a favor to his friend that was killed and screwed over by Big Boss just like him. He'd betrayed both of their trusts (thought you could argue Miller started it by working with Cipher, but even so) I'm not sure how I picture Diamond Dogs becoming Outer Heaven, moving locations, when Miller and Ocelot take their leave and what they do in the meantime
Awesome video man, hard to avoid just doing a plot recap for this game but you did a great job tying it all into the themes of the game and not just the call backs to the rest of the serious 10/10
This video was incredible as is every other video in your metal gear series, this is my favorite game of all time hands down and when I realized the connection to the original metal gear game I felt like a child again, putting all those pieces together and with this game filling the potholes just made Metal Gear Feel Complete to me
As I was watching this, I came to the realization that ground zeros is the only time you play the real big boss. As you never get to play him in metal gear V.
I would love just a little animated movie or short depicting some of the things Venom did as Big Boss in the years between Phantom Pain and the original Metal Gear
I only wish Venom Snake was a fully fledged and his own character with more defined backstory instead more like an avatar. Gameplay is awesome but the story is so-so. Very interesting albeit the execution is very lackluster.
That's understandable. I prefer him as a vehicle for the player, but I can understand why some wouldn't like that. I feel like it works better in the grand scheme. It especially fits together well when looking at the history of the series, kojima's motivations, etc.
I guess this is a hot take idk but I think kiffer Sutherland is the best choice for big boss /venom. No hate on David, but kiffer’s rougher older voice just fits.
I just watched your Tony Hawk video the other day and now you upload a long MGSV video right after I finish my new playthrough? My new favorite RUclipsr.
“Here’s to You by Sacco e Vanzetti begins playing.” That thew me off. The song was composed by Ennio Morricone & Joan Baez for the Sacco e Vanzetti movie. Ennio really deserves a name credit being an influential genius from all his works most notably - his scores for the Clint Eastwood / Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns Dollars Trilogy. Ecstasy of Gold. Etc.
A bit of pop culture history crossover that I think about a bunch is how modern toys as we know it are the way they are because of the invasion of Afghanistan featured in MGS5; oil prices rose due to scarsity at the time, and this meant less petroleum for making plastic toys. As a consequence, Hasbro relaunched GI Joe as a smaller 6-inch figure, with an emphasis on larger, more expensive vehicles you could put the figures in. Japan licensed these smaller toy designs and created various toylines like Henshin Robo and Microchange. The accessory vehicles in Microchange could transform into pilotable robots. Hasbro would eventually import these toys to make Transformers. Now for the interesting part: The inciting event for the Transformers storyline is that two warring factions made a foreign land their battlefield as it held the natural resources necessary for facilitating their war. Sound familiar? A lot of media over the years has leaned into the parallels between the imperialistic premise of Transformers and the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. The IDW comic series that ran from 2005 to 2018 is most notable b/c the latter half of the series had the war end and the characters, many of whom were brought online during the war, had to reckon with who they were as people when the conflict that defined their entire existence was over. This is made complicated by the fact their home planet (which is established as necessary for their means of reproduction) is nearly uninhabitable and lacks infrastructure, most of the galaxy has a shoot-on-sight policy thanks to the fact the war ran for longer than most civilizations alive today have existed, and most of the cybertronian population **literally have guns for hands*. Really good read; I hope Hasbro gets their stuff in order because it's getting harder and harder to find those comics.
I had just burnt out on listening to your Yakuza video series over and over again at work and I remembered this game exists, looked it up, and imagine my surprise when I saw you had just uploaded this. 😂
I think the big twist is the reason that they didn't want David hayter playing snake again. His voice is way too recognizable to be the... other guy on the helicopter... even if they pitch-shifted it.
Dang it you beat me to it. I’m only on level 14 as of right now. Gonna have to watch this one later, wonder how much I can watch before I hit spoilers lol
Best gameplay in the series...with no story, no level designs, no David Hayter, no nothing. I guess we'll never know what was intentional, what was Kojima just hating MGS at this point, and what was just the studio running out of money, but the result is...this. I heard a "theory" from fans for the last couple of years about how MGSV (not 5, V, and this is a big difference Kojima always made) was meant to be viewed as a trilogy; Peacer Walker/Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain, and while this doesnt fix how messy and empty PP is, to be fair, it makes it work A LOT better that way, as you can see the fall of Big Boss; from revolutionaty leader, to pretty much a coward exploiting the blind trust of one of his man to take the heat from him. Again, this theory doesnt fix TPP, but puts it into a context it desperately needs.
I think you almost have to view TPP and Ground Zeroes in the context of Peace Walker. Without it, you're kind of left in the dark. I think that alone probably has worked to alienate some people from the deeper parts of the game unfortunately.
@@YourFavoriteSon1 Pretty much, the problem is Peace Walker being so tonally different makes it very hard to do...also being a portable game with portable mechanics. It might sound like I hate PP (and to a certain extent, I do), but I have over 200 hours put into that game (the gameplay is *that* good) while I could never finish Peace Walker because of how repetitive and silly it was...which some arguee was the point, it was the first act of a larger story.
SAVING this gem for later, I already hit like, 'cause I know it's gonna be an epic video and an epic journey. I am so near the ending myself now (at least I feel like I am). I'm coming back to edit the comment once I finish the game!

Robin Atkin Downes. I believe he actually did some soldier voices in MGS3 as well.
Really sad to see him be a best bro in peace walker and ending up how he was in phantom pain and just so broken down and darker

As Luxord in Kingdom Hearts or Riddler in batman telltale 2 *w *
He is medic from TF2 for me
@@YourFavoriteSon1Travis Touchdown himself
I was really shocked the first time I finished the true ending of MGSV and it turned out that Big Boss was KingCobra all along.
Bold move by Kojima

When big boss turned out to be all the friends I made on the way. That's when I knew it was a masterpiece

I know what I'm watching/listening to tomorrow at work.
Enjoy!
Every job should allow you to wear earpods
@@zomebody5529 Nah, a lot of places are stupid and stuck in the last century.

The sandbox design of Ground zeros was so good it casts a damning shadow over The Phantom Pain.
MGSV has like 100 times more better sandbox design than GZ's.
Are you fucking high or on some bad coke?

Literally changed plans to be able to watch this today- I love your retrospectives and MGS is a great series-thanks for this!
I'm honored
A Diamond of a Son, one could say. Well done, my boy
you're all diamonds
Small correction at 20:11 the helicopter is actually called morpho, peaquad is the name of the chopper in phantom pain. Great video regardless though.
"Snake" lost his arm. Kojima loves to makes up think we're playing Snake.
Despite the cut content, this game was Epic.. and it still stands the test of time..
There should've been a mission, after you get D-Dog, to go extract a veterinarian.
I cant believe he found 3 hours worth of talking points on just MGSV. Impressive 😮

That's possible. The game doesn't really give us a definitive answer, so really anything could be true.
Shining Lights, Even in Death makes me wanna die every time, I have to speedrun it and constantly make jokes otherwise it tears me down, so good.

Honestly most of Metal Gear would work really well in the anime format.
