This is why MGS is my favourite saga. My favourite character is Big Boss, he's a broken man who was only taught to be a gun. His only goal in life was to fight. He was a terrorist and a villain but he fought for what he thought was correct. On the other hand is Solid Snake. He's also a broken man but whose goal in life was to stop wars. My ideology is nearer to Solid Snake.
I remember fondly. It was August 31st, 2009. I was just about to turn 17. I just got home from Gamecrazy with my brand new Playstation 3 Slim, along with a copy of Grand Theft Auto 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4: Gunds of the Patriots. I hooked everything up to my small 19' MAGNAVOX 720P Television that had a small 2.1 Altec Lansing stereo system plugged into for better sound. I turned on my new playstation 3, wen't through the set-up screen and put my copy of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. I booted it up and I was immediately blown away by how amazingly good the graphics were during the install screen where Old Snake just stands there smoking a cigarette. Once the opening cutscene (Which is this) played out, I was immediately captivated. The Music that played and then hearing Old Snake speak for the first time! It definetely changed my life, if not just making a huge impact on me. I couldn't believe I had finally got myself a copy of this. Seriously one the best video games ever!
That's the kind of emotion that you never get to experience anymore nowadays. Very rarely I find games that give me such excitement and that i look forward to. They're all a cashgrab nowadays. Very sad, I remember going back home with a copy of MGS3, same feeling.

Honestly, I feel like the statement on how war has changed was remarkably on point. I think that in an effort to make war more "humane" we've caused it to become horrific. War used to be about killing your enemies. Now, when we've forgotten that, we've caused the age of forever war. The age of deterrence was a greatly peaceful era in human history. And what is it now?
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I read "the age of deterrence" in your comment just as Snake was saying it in the video. That's it, there's nothing clever that I have to say.
MGS4, for all its ups and downs, is still a pretty good game. It’s not the best metal gear game, and I wouldn’t say it has the best story out of the metal gear games, but there’s really not many other games like it today.
As a Marine who was stationed in Japan, and visited Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this is the best I got: "I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity". - Dwight D. Eisenhower
@@TheWorldsOkayestUSMarine it is understandable talking about what happened irl but please don't compare fictional story to what happened with real life as irl is very different from what's portrayed in media
@Layde360 Did you not read my comment? I served 8 years in the Marine Corps, been to 15+ different countries across 3 continents. I'll compare whatever I want. Get out of your Mommy's basement. BTW, Bungou Stray Dogs is boring and unoriginal.
@@TheWorldsOkayestUSMarine yet in all that comparison westerners fail to understand why wars are fought in the first place i.e to preserve ones Empire, westerners have a naive understanding of saying war is bad yet they do actions which initiate war in the first place by discrimination, corruption and pushing ideological rhetorics as to use people against each other to gain power, westerners are provided this ideal way of thinking as good and bad and then they also use grey elements and claim others as lesser evil yet for us foreigners it's all the same instead of quoting colonial Presidents who will talk all philosophy but do the opposite of what they preach maybe westerners should stop worshiping their leaders or philosophers who just talk nonsense rhetorics as to take them away from the fact that all their philosophy is only quoted to make money for them
Hideo Kojima, a man who really understands what "The Times" mean. Understanding how each era changes, due to revolutionary inventions, or catastrophic wars. Sometimes these video games or movies or whatever entertainment you consume is actually where you learn life's most important lessons. Now think, these are also the things that are slowly changing as you know, "The Times" change....
I've always felt that above all else Hideo Kojima understands politics. Listen to the conversations that happen in the codecs in the context of what year they were made. He always has been drastically ahead of the curve.
I know people are supposed to agree with fallout that "war never changes" but honestly as life progresses further solid Snake's dialogue about how "War has changed" is more relevant especially how everything is now monitored and kept under control... Even in the real world we are becoming the age of tyrannical monitoring and control
War never changes in the idea that war will never end as long as humans are around, but the way wars are fought has changed and will continue to change.
@@woresor So basically fallouts message of "war never changes" simply because humanity exists.... Very simplistic and to the point. While on the flip side Metal gear solids message on "War has changed" delves into how war is being fought and how it evolves. *However* there's an argument to be met that if War becomes routine. Has the original motives of War changed? Because then it's no longer "War" anymore, and once it's become eroded and become "routine" it's become something else.
Fallout's statement is about on " why" we go to war, which ultimately never changed, it's part of human nature. MGS's statement is about how wars are fought, which changes with each technological milestone we reach.
@@xamhehehe7888You are getting the entirely wrong message from fallout. The first fallout even directly states that as long as finite resources are around, humanity will fight to get them to stay alive.
War has changed so drastically over the years, and yet, it's stayed exactly the same. We may have moved from sticks and stones, but the will to conquer and sieze more than what we're allotted will stay in our nature for eternity.
I mean, an AI is constructed by rules provided by the programmer. If your AI is telling you to run into the line of fire regardless of casualties, you have failed at designing and building a helpful AI.
Interestingly, most AI chess/Go programs are very materialistic, meaning that they’re moreso interested in racking up the enemy’s casualties than their own. The problem is positioning, whereby AIs tend to be put into poor positions that permit the opponent to gain the upper hand.
As a kid, for the first time, I really felt like I was a part of the battle. From the beginning to the end, hearing the recorded screams and shots, and even explosions. It all felt like friends, really. Getting immersed in that was great for the game experience, and putting myself in the shoes of the rebels.
It's an even better scene with the context of past metal gear games since it shows the absolute low point in the timeline that the series built up to since metal gear 2: solid snake
the speech Snake gives makes me think of our future, war fought on no moral grounds, just poxy conflicts design to do nothing but keep an world economically afloat.
"We are the most powerful military force in the history of man. Every fight is our fight, because what happens over here matters over there. We don't get to sit one out." Well, this is modern day USA in a nutshell, I think.
I absolutely adore the morally gray world Metal Gear. It’s not afraid to show the harsh realities of war, but it never goes with the naive perception of “Why war happen? War bad.” Like, we’ll see a bleak depiction of the battlefield like this, but then like an hour later we’ll hear Snake and Ottacon talking about how war is hard-wired into mankind and how it’s ultimately unavoidable.
@@Just_normal_youtube_channel well the irony is that westerners keep believing that wars are part of human nature yet those who are rich are the ones who benefit from it we can understand all your western philosophy all well talking about how we humans are supposed to be killing machines yet in reality we are made to be killing machines by those powerful as most of humans wouldn't like to kill or even have any thoughts of it let alone kill their neighbours unless we are pushed to the brink with lack of resources or for survival which is something westerners don't like to mention in their games and tell us foreigners how less intellectual we are yet all we see is westerners talking about nonsensical rhetorics western rhetoric to claim humans are bad is just stupid tbh, it's just an excuse for people to just commit whatever atrocities they feel
The terrifying thing is, this isn't the first time. Go back and watch the end of MGS2 and realize how much of it came to pass in the years since that game came out.
Fair statement. Witcher franchise has masterpiece story. MGS has better BUT If we count The WItcher books, then it is the best game ever made. Also Doom
But we be talking games bud. The books are incredible though (I need to read them). But I feel MGS3 and 4 are my personal favorite games of all time and are masterpieces in their own way. PERSONALLY, I feel MGS3 is the greatest story in anything with 4 despite the retconning 4 does at times, something about it just makes me absolutely love it. It is a fantastic finale. Witcher 2 is a great game, but Witcher 3 is the masterpiece in the series. Although the first game is decent, it hasn't aged well at all, but in comparison MGS1 still plays great. Witcher 2 and definitely Witcher 3 are fantastic games with 3 setting a standard in it's genre, which by the way, is quite different from MGS. And I love Witcher 3 and 2. Played through 2 twice and 3 hundreds of hours.
Fortnite has changed. It's no longer about being OG, bush strats, or sky bases. It's an endless series of build battles fought by sweats and pro players. Fortnite - and its consumption of life - has become a well-oiled machine. Fortnite has changed.
I gotta say that if we (the world especially governments) learned from the multiple voices all over media speaking about the suffering of war and the needlessness of it. We wouldn't have situations like the one in light of recent historical invasions and escalations. This opening hits hard cus of it. And reminds me about the very real horrors of war and the intense destruction and suffering it brings to everyone involved in it. And in other words a thing we should try to avoid at all costs.
You realize that most aristocrats who occupy world governments, and the wealthy oligarchs who own said aristocrats, are psychopaths who view all other humans as nothing more than numbers on a spreadsheet, right? Don't listen to their honeyed words. They use those to control your behavioral responses. Instead, watch what they do.

"Fortnite and it's consumption of V-bucks has become a well-oiled machine." _"Fortnite, has changed..."_ "Battle pass owners wear their Peter Griffin skins(outfits), Flying in on their Petercopters." "Cosmetics on their loadout enhance and regulate their abilities."

"All in the name of averting rage quits from turbo sweats."

+BloodyRainbowCheese War does change and does not at the same time, in the end, a war is a sensless mean of destrucion that could be solved with simplistic ideaoligies
War is one of the basic foundations of human evolution. Hard times make strong men, strong men make good times, good times make weak men, weak men make hard times.
It's still so jaw dropping when the camera just focuses on Snake and the HUD just fades in. "Now you're in control" (until you crawl under the truck, now it's another cutscene)
Idc what everyone said about MGS4, this is prolly my favourite interactive movie of all time. The first two acts start off really strong than Europe ruins the pacing quite a bit that it struggles to recover than bam! Shadow Moses brings it back up than outer heaven keeps/raises the momentum until the final boss fight where it's prolly the best way to end a franchise. Imo no other game has done it quite like MGS4 and I don't think any game ever will. This is how you end a franchise on a high note!
Mgs series, uncharted series and max Payne series are probably the best 3rd person shooters ever in my opinion they all have amazing story, dialogue and gameplay
Hideo Kojima has predicted the future in all his games. Today we see the exact things happening in 2024 with all the wars going on. War has definitely changed. May God help us all.

Honestly the best opening I have ever seen in a video game
“The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. The slide’s been reinforced. And the interlock with the frame is tightened for added precision. The sight system is original, too. The thumb safety is extended to make it easier on the finger. A long-type trigger with non-slip grooves. A ring hammer… The base of the trigger guard’s been filed down for a higher grip. And not only that, nearly every part of this gun has been expertly crafted and customized
Honestly, I feel like the statement on how war has changed was remarkably on point.
I think that in an effort to make war more "humane" we've caused it to become horrific. War used to be about killing your enemies. Now, when we've forgotten that, we've caused the age of forever war. The age of deterrence was a greatly peaceful era in human history. And what is it now?
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I read "the age of deterrence" in your comment just as Snake was saying it in the video. That's it, there's nothing clever that I have to say.
MGS4, for all its ups and downs, is still a pretty good game. It’s not the best metal gear game, and I wouldn’t say it has the best story out of the metal gear games, but there’s really not many other games like it today.
It still has a sad as hell ending though.
Today Prigozhin the leader of the Wagner PMC got allegedly killed. I immediately thought of this intro
23rd August 2023
Still hits the same after all this time
Kojima san tells the reality in the world. War becomes routine
As a Marine who was stationed in Japan, and visited Hiroshima and Nagasaki, this is the best I got:
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity".
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
Imagine comparing irl to a damn fictional story
@@TheWorldsOkayestUSMarine it is understandable talking about what happened irl but please don't compare fictional story to what happened with real life as irl is very different from what's portrayed in media
@Layde360 Did you not read my comment? I served 8 years in the Marine Corps, been to 15+ different countries across 3 continents. I'll compare whatever I want. Get out of your Mommy's basement.
BTW, Bungou Stray Dogs is boring and unoriginal.
@@TheWorldsOkayestUSMarine yet in all that comparison westerners fail to understand why wars are fought in the first place i.e to preserve ones Empire, westerners have a naive understanding of saying war is bad yet they do actions which initiate war in the first place by discrimination, corruption and pushing ideological rhetorics as to use people against each other to gain power, westerners are provided this ideal way of thinking as good and bad and then they also use grey elements and claim others as lesser evil yet for us foreigners it's all the same
instead of quoting colonial Presidents who will talk all philosophy but do the opposite of what they preach maybe westerners should stop worshiping their leaders or philosophers who just talk nonsense rhetorics as to take them away from the fact that all their philosophy is only quoted to make money for them
Hideo Kojima, a man who really understands what "The Times" mean. Understanding how each era changes, due to revolutionary inventions, or catastrophic wars. Sometimes these video games or movies or whatever entertainment you consume is actually where you learn life's most important lessons. Now think, these are also the things that are slowly changing as you know, "The Times" change....
All of the things he has mentioned were all in previous metal gears except for maybe nanomachines
I've always felt that above all else Hideo Kojima understands politics. Listen to the conversations that happen in the codecs in the context of what year they were made. He always has been drastically ahead of the curve.
I can now do this whole monologue in Old Snakes voice, I always do it in my car to work lol
MGS4 is a loveletter to the fans.
nigga, that shit has truly hugged my soul. what a piece of art the MGS franchise is, damn!
And its still only on PS3 :(
I know people are supposed to agree with fallout that "war never changes" but honestly as life progresses further solid Snake's dialogue about how "War has changed" is more relevant especially how everything is now monitored and kept under control... Even in the real world we are becoming the age of tyrannical monitoring and control
War never changes in the idea that war will never end as long as humans are around, but the way wars are fought has changed and will continue to change.
@@woresor So basically fallouts message of "war never changes" simply because humanity exists.... Very simplistic and to the point.
While on the flip side Metal gear solids message on "War has changed" delves into how war is being fought and how it evolves. *However* there's an argument to be met that if War becomes routine. Has the original motives of War changed? Because then it's no longer "War" anymore, and once it's become eroded and become "routine" it's become something else.
@@xamhehehe7888 actually i think that what fallout 4 is trying to say is that war always ended up with people getting killed and never changed
Fallout's statement is about on " why" we go to war, which ultimately never changed, it's part of human nature.
MGS's statement is about how wars are fought, which changes with each technological milestone we reach.
@@xamhehehe7888You are getting the entirely wrong message from fallout. The first fallout even directly states that as long as finite resources are around, humanity will fight to get them to stay alive.
This is my first time playing this and the amount of detail within and outside the game is unreal.
Fallout 4: war never changes
Mgs 4: war has changed
Me: *confused screaming*
Both? Both. Both is right.
I was looking for this comment
Fallout 4 "War never changes." Is about the reasons why war is waged.
MGS4 "War has changed." Is how war is waged.
@@solidsnake8330 Promote this man!!!
Cannon Fodder: War! Never been so much fun!
Who needs Call of Duty when you have this awesome incredible game
War has changed so drastically over the years, and yet, it's stayed exactly the same. We may have moved from sticks and stones, but the will to conquer and sieze more than what we're allotted will stay in our nature for eternity.
Easily one of the best intros for a game in decades
For both better or worse, I classify MGS4 as an experience rather than a game.
Bodybuilding has changed it's no longer about health benefits or fun it's an endless series of steroids used by influencers and conceinted people
This has more meaning year after year.
Israel vs Hamas.... it's just like the beginning
The Taliban once again
@Sarina Freeman
Its right tho.
Guess which country that has the biggest MIC out of them all?
This is what happens when you let the AI determine your tactical actions...just run straight into the line of fire regardless of the casualties...
I mean, an AI is constructed by rules provided by the programmer. If your AI is telling you to run into the line of fire regardless of casualties, you have failed at designing and building a helpful AI.
That's very primal emotion based thinking james
Interestingly, most AI chess/Go programs are very materialistic, meaning that they’re moreso interested in racking up the enemy’s casualties than their own. The problem is positioning, whereby AIs tend to be put into poor positions that permit the opponent to gain the upper hand.
@@writershard5065
Nice trump pic
As a kid, for the first time, I really felt like I was a part of the battle. From the beginning to the end, hearing the recorded screams and shots, and even explosions. It all felt like friends, really. Getting immersed in that was great for the game experience, and putting myself in the shoes of the rebels.
It's an even better scene with the context of past metal gear games since it shows the absolute low point in the timeline that the series built up to since metal gear 2: solid snake
Goddammit darkvorgan
what is it
More important than ever....
First thing I thought of with Russia, Ukraine, Nato going on.
the speech Snake gives makes me think of our future, war fought on no moral grounds, just poxy conflicts design to do nothing but keep an world economically afloat.
@@mandolfc9549 One shutters to imagine a world were wars are fought over nothing but money
Hey wait a minute
@@Frille512 lol
This aged well...
"When you have nothing left to live for; what would you die for?"
Both this and MW2 had some real banger monologues general shepherd had some awesome quotes, same with snake
"We are the most powerful military force in the history of man. Every fight is our fight, because what happens over here matters over there. We don't get to sit one out."
Well, this is modern day USA in a nutshell, I think.
Watching this now is like watching an episode of black mirror
I absolutely adore the morally gray world Metal Gear.
It’s not afraid to show the harsh realities of war, but it never goes with the naive perception of “Why war happen? War bad.”
Like, we’ll see a bleak depiction of the battlefield like this, but then like an hour later we’ll hear Snake and Ottacon talking about how war is hard-wired into mankind and how it’s ultimately unavoidable.
if you don't think mgs is anti-war i don't know what to tell you
@@DudeWithTheNose I never said it wasn’t.
I was just appreciating the nuance.
Imagine comparing irl to a fictional story
@@Layde36 I see no point in trying to argue with you, as it appears you lack basic reading comprehension.
@@Just_normal_youtube_channel well the irony is that westerners keep believing that wars are part of human nature yet those who are rich are the ones who benefit from it
we can understand all your western philosophy all well talking about how we humans are supposed to be killing machines yet in reality we are made to be killing machines by those powerful as most of humans wouldn't like to kill or even have any thoughts of it let alone kill their neighbours unless we are pushed to the brink with lack of resources or for survival which is something westerners don't like to mention in their games and tell us foreigners how less intellectual we are yet all we see is westerners talking about nonsensical rhetorics
western rhetoric to claim humans are bad is just stupid tbh, it's just an excuse for people to just commit whatever atrocities they feel
What makes this scene ironic, is that Snake was right.
Big boss dream has come true. A world of war and information control. Mercenaries and Soldiers.
The terrifying thing is, this isn't the first time. Go back and watch the end of MGS2 and realize how much of it came to pass in the years since that game came out.
@@VegetaLF7 We are living in the age of GW.
Best game of all times.
Period.
Solid Snake = the Final Hero
Nah. Second greatest game of all time, only behind MGS3.
t h e
w i t c h e r
Third greatest game.
Fair statement. Witcher franchise has masterpiece story. MGS has better
BUT
If we count The WItcher books, then it is the best game ever made.
Also Doom
But we be talking games bud. The books are incredible though (I need to read them). But I feel MGS3 and 4 are my personal favorite games of all time and are masterpieces in their own way. PERSONALLY, I feel MGS3 is the greatest story in anything with 4 despite the retconning 4 does at times, something about it just makes me absolutely love it. It is a fantastic finale. Witcher 2 is a great game, but Witcher 3 is the masterpiece in the series. Although the first game is decent, it hasn't aged well at all, but in comparison MGS1 still plays great. Witcher 2 and definitely Witcher 3 are fantastic games with 3 setting a standard in it's genre, which by the way, is quite different from MGS. And I love Witcher 3 and 2. Played through 2 twice and 3 hundreds of hours.
Fortnite has changed. It's no longer about being OG, bush strats, or sky bases. It's an endless series of build battles fought by sweats and pro players. Fortnite - and its consumption of life - has become a well-oiled machine. Fortnite has changed.

I gotta say that if we (the world especially governments) learned from the multiple voices all over media speaking about the suffering of war and the needlessness of it. We wouldn't have situations like the one in light of recent historical invasions and escalations. This opening hits hard cus of it. And reminds me about the very real horrors of war and the intense destruction and suffering it brings to everyone involved in it. And in other words a thing we should try to avoid at all costs.
You realize that most aristocrats who occupy world governments, and the wealthy oligarchs who own said aristocrats, are psychopaths who view all other humans as nothing more than numbers on a spreadsheet, right?
Don't listen to their honeyed words. They use those to control your behavioral responses. Instead, watch what they do.
fucking depressing how much this got right
Not depressing, you need just to know how to play the game with the war changed .
Mostly frightening, cuz MGS2 got it right 20 years in the future, I wonder what comes next.

War is a way for nature to stop rapidly growing populations
The death and destruction of war never changes. But the technology used does change. That’s what snake was talking about. Dumbass.

Idc what everyone said about MGS4, this is prolly my favourite interactive movie of all time.
The first two acts start off really strong than Europe ruins the pacing quite a bit that it struggles to recover than bam! Shadow Moses brings it back up than outer heaven keeps/raises the momentum until the final boss fight where it's prolly the best way to end a franchise. Imo no other game has done it quite like MGS4 and I don't think any game ever will. This is how you end a franchise on a high note!
I love how you called it an interactive movie, because that is more or less what it is, thats why I love it so much.
Kojima predicted the future. This is happening right now, mass control... It's just the beginning though
This wasn't his first
This was a fantastic movie.
Mgs series, uncharted series and max Payne series are probably the best 3rd person shooters ever in my opinion they all have amazing story, dialogue and gameplay
Hideo Kojima has predicted the future in all his games. Today we see the exact things happening in 2024 with all the wars going on. War has definitely changed. May God help us all.
