It's a delicate issue, but the MGSV appears to be complete, it's just not the way many wanted. Complex story presented in film form with 99 hours of cutscenes and dialogues plus unique gameplay were what had been seen in all previous MGS. MGSV came with a story presented in the form of a television series with cutscenes and expressive acting devoid of dialogues plus new gameplay (in fact tactical-espionage-action idealized by Kojima all along, but not implemented before because of limitations). Obviously, receiving the last game in a saga of this importance with the opposite of the usual formula is disappointing. Would more vehicles, enemies, weapons, cutscenes, more detailed plot and other things be cool? Certainly. But, the game is what Kojima wanted (solid evidence for all this is clearly presented by The Snake Soup). Obviously, I'm just commenting and presenting evidence to eliminate the feeling of incompleteness. It's just a comment. Please don't hit me, or I'll cry.
I remember when my brother told me he’d never play MG5 bc of THIS tape in ground zero. Like genuinely repulsed him to his core, and he hated that no one was talking about this.
@@Exigentable The issue isn't what happens in the tape, literally NOBODY is saying that the game can't cover those issues, or that it should shy away from these parts of war and torture. it's how the tape itself is done. it's poor, bordering on exploitation.

1:18:50 My emblem for 90% of the game was just big capitalised NAKED MAN which, whilst funny, kinda undermined some of the serious scenes later on where Miller is giving a speech and all you can see is that on a flag directly behind him

3:44:04 he says "give her the shot already" which is a reference to the ground zeroes tape where an enemy soldier voiced by the same person as miller says it, basically people have theorized that the person there is in fact kazuhira miller burger guy
@@stripethecatsoldier it is more or less confirmed that it was Miller himself. It's the same VA as Miller in both English & Japanese, besides how else would've Paz survived the Zeke fight? Miller was the only person with direct ties to both Cipher and MSF in the entirety of Peace Walker, and he was on Mother Base during that fight. So the running theory is that Miller fished Paz out of the ocean, shipped her to Guantanamo and was present when Paz was being operated on, but walked out immediately before Skull Face came in with the bombs. Therefore, he was on kahoots with Skull Face regarding Paz & Chico, but had not been informed about neither the planned attack on Mother Base, nor the presence of bombs inside Paz's body.

In Snake Eater, Sokolov compliments Snake’s Russian, implying the dialogue is fluent in Russian, but is shown through the game as fluent English. I wish MGSV had non-English native speakers have different accents to reflect that Venom doesn’t have the same language skills. Maybe Kaz could drop some Japanese expecting Venom would get it, only to realize he “lost” his capacity for any language besides English.
I had this pipe dream idea when the game dropped where some plot contrivance would bring us back to Russia, but the layout would be completely unrecognizable and different because MGS3 was Venom going through hypnotherapy but it could only get sorta close to the real thing. A jungle in Russia??? Really, Snake???
@@SpaceJamzzz that could work, except for the fact that in 1964 (Operation Snake Eater's year) Tajikistan (a country with lush jungles, mountains and forests) was part of the USSR and is apparently where MGS3 is supposed to take place
You know? That's actually really clever, I totally forgot Snake was fluent in Russian, yet, one of the first things you have to do in MGSV is collect a Russian interpreter. I mean, it's still kinda dumb, because Ocelot can *also* speak russian, and he doesnt do a damn thing for you, but I digress. My point is, that's a pretty damning clue from as soon as the first mission in Afghanistan that Venom and Snake are not the same individual.
When you try to interogate an enemy in mgsv for the first time ocelot mentions that its strange for vemon to lost his ability to speak and blames it for the metal that got stuck in his head.
2:17 I can just perfectly imagine snake reading "data cassette (do not use in cassette player)" out loud before putting it in his cassette player only to then be hit by that noise and go "Argh! Kaz, what the hell was that!?"
Your storytelling skils (so much set up and creative payoff) and especially your voice acting control comes across as effortless, honestly phenomenal skillset at display here. And that's before considering the insanity of writing so much of your own music for this stuff. Just amazing work, especially considering how few essays you've made and how they've been top shelf the whole time. I know people say this all the time, but it's honestly strange you don't have more subscribers considering the 11/10 production value. And I say this all as someone who has been putting a token effort into essaying myself.
The conflicting tone was always something that stood out to me. For every goofy cutscene of Ocelot singing happy birthday to Snake, there's a traumatic scene of Quiet about to be raped. It's very jarring Also the Sly Cooper 3 music at 1:20:01 gave me flashbacks to my childhood
I think the tone being mismatched is people taking the literal canon narrative and the unrelated side stuff like easter eggs and putting them together. Of course it's tone deaf, it was never meant to be taken in that context like that.
Okay I was like "I feel like I've seen this before" and I went through your older videos and saw this was a compilation video of your 5 part series (i'm counting peace decrease).
For those wondering, that Ground Zeroes tape that is just random noise is actually the sound of an MSX booting up a game, possibly a game called "Portopia" and that game influenced the original metal gear Just so you guys know, my source is a random comment on Reddit
I’ve seriously been following the ARG since June of 2023 and have like a ten page document keeping track of everything. Now I’m stuck and I don’t know if I’m missing anything or if maybe that’s the point.
@@Хорошийигровойканал oh yeah that's because the goal of Abstergo during the Desmond saga of Assassin's Creed was to mind control the entirety of the world's population to enslave humanity with the objective of stopping wars entirely and ensuring eternal world peace. So in a sense, Warren Vidic is one of the inheritors of The Boss's will.
It's worth remembering that Huey's accusation of Miller working with Cipher is actually true, it's just ill timed and from a players perspective, not well known unless you also 100% completed Peace Walker.
After going through it again and S ranking all the main missions to unlock the Raiden outfit, I feel like 5 had the potential to be a much bigger expansion on the story. Especially with Zero.
Is it possible to know this author opinion and recollection about the real ending of the game without jumpung though hoops? I just want a complete essay if possible
Great video. I always hoped Steak Bently would make a follow-up to the classic "Metal Gear Solid 4 was a Mistake" video and this seems like the next best thing. Now if you can make the part II to talk about the ending...
I will watch this video once i've gone through all the titles mentioned at the start. I still watch the kh3 vid on a regular And I love how you almost always read every single comment
Was this a 40 minute introduction video just to see how interested I was in watching through the whole thing? You just got the full watch time from for for sure
It started as a review and ended up becoming V just like the game itself. He is snake, boss, V, whoever it doesnt matter he was him all along we played the game
As I was watching this video at 4:43:30 i thought to myself "Man i want to watch a long video essay on kingdom hearts 3 since i cant be asked to play the game" only for you to flash such a video on screen was crazy
I really love how you wear your influences on your sleeve instead of shying away from them in fear of seeming derivative. I see a lot of the DNA from Steak Bentley's MGS3 video here & that's a massive compliment. It's people's inspirations & what they do with them that makes them unique & there's nothing quite like your content out there. You're the first guy I've seen to tie an entire ARG to a video game review. That's pretentious & needlessly complicated, just like how a true genius kojumbo fan would do it. Don't be deterred from doing stuff like this in the future because a few people are complaining, it's great.
It’s funny I’ve gotten back into the phantom pain lately and I see all these comments on mgsv videos posted 9 years ago and my goofy ass can’t help but comment that on everyone single one, I hope the original commenters see them.
This was truly worth the wait. I’m truly proud to be a fan, witnessing you grow your writing, sense of pacing and editing. I also feel like you might have more confidence in yourself, well I hope you do, because you have real talent
That's very nice of you to say, thank you very much. And yes, I have gained some confidence in myself since I started making these videos. Specifically in my own voice.
that line about being covered in oil and being fucked if it starts raining was great. amazing video, hilarious yet still well made script. this is good shit
I've commented on the individual parts before, but I wanna use this collection to just lay it all out. I LOVE this series of videos. The basic analysis of the game from a story and gameplay level is incredibly solid, the humor style gives these videos so much personality, and the whole incorporation of the initial no-kill run and the trumpets to represent Snake's gradual corruption over the course of the story, as well as how the mechanics push the player to become corrupted themselves, is one of the coolest examples of experimental storytelling I've ever seen. And on top of that, all the music you made for these videos is incredible, so much so that it lead to me becoming a big fan of your music in general, detached from this whole project. (And, breaking the kayfabe for a second, all that stuff with the other channel has been extremely interesting. It started off with me checking it out and leading a few cringey comments not understanding the bit and then trying poorly to play along, but since I've just become fucking captivated by it, watching others try to figure it out. It's really fascinating, even if most of it goes over my head.) All in all, this series has been extremely fun to follow, and as sad as it is that it's over, I'm super excited to see what comes next with more of the Assassin's Creed stuff and whatever follows that. Really hope you decide to do something with Death Stranding like you said you might one day, I'd love to see your take on it. But either way, looking forward to the next upload, whenever it's ready!
Not a clue what 90% of your ramblings mean. Got recommended the video by Algo. 2.5 hours in. Video is great. At least the trumpet thing makes some sense now.
Yup. This is the type of video essay that simply goes down in history. It's a matter of time this gets put on the fucking podium. Absolutely unbelievable storytelling from start to finish, the production value is through the fucking roof. This isn't basic analysis, this is full fledged storytelling.
I love how even thought most of the metal gear community doesn’t like most of what Konami has done the studio is still 14000 times better than the call of duty executives.
A few more tricks in case they haven’t been mentioned in other comments- Children- You can call in a vehicle and put them in it, then Fulton the vehicle to rescue them. PF Points- The weekly league happens automatically, and you earn more points as your army gets stronger. If you quit playing they continue to accumulate. I played the game when it first came out and a few years later and I had way too many points. I think it’s console\PC specific. FOBs- Many people turn on security challenge and lower their level so people can freely beat their empty bases for money and materials. I did the same last play through. DDog Fulton + Rocket Punch + Wormhole = Easiest Game Finally there was one I didn’t know, it was the fully charged arm. That’s awesome and will be trying that next play through!
Cameras are another way the enemies counter specific playstyles from the player, just like headshotting makes soldiers wear helmets, sniping makes them use decoys, etc. Not sure what triggers the need for cameras though
You can still use your buddy to stop vehicles, but yeah, the commander being sandwiched between two tanks would make even that near impossible without having previous knowledge.
Even though I am not that crazy about this game (mgs 3 is my go-to stealth game), I really love this video. It's long, funny and the edits are epic. I noticed that you have a lot of other videos. So I will be watching them after this video (esp the kingdom hearts ones). Also I am going to send my son the song "No more bread". Elementary kids in my area strangely say " Bread!" when they are really happy about something. I guess they must really love bread... And I don't blame them. Thank you so much for uploading your content! You're awesome. And I hope that you may never run out of bread again.
Okay so no joke I just now realized that all the individual parts of the “MGSV Sucks and I Love It” videos have the same “!,” in the thumbnails. Could that have been the truth was literally staring us right in the face?
Ahhh I was really hyped for you to talk about coming face to face with the man who sold the world in the end. Maybe another time. Great video, I wanted to save this for work but I couldn't stop watching
It's not decodable. It's just the sound of an MSX booting up a game. Although, during the true ending of the game, the noise is used for the tape that Venom inserts into that machine (wich I heard is an MSX itself), meaning the noise is canonically the data used for Operation Intrude N313 during Metal Gear 1.
To be completely fair, The End had functional lungs and was able to breathe. Quiet’s lungs were damaged by the attack at the beginning of the game, so she relies more heavily on her parasite’s photosynthetic abilities to replace her lungs whereas The End used them to conserve his body’s energy by channeling the parasite’s. I dunno, it made sense to me and never bothered me (except in the trailer where it seemed like it was just for sexualizing her character).
Kojima could have written her to have functional lungs if he wanted to and the English strain parasites would still play their part in her story and character. He really did just want a bikini sniper.
@@joshuapaul1715 sure but the parasites were given to her secretly like fox die inside of snake’s nano machines. The English strain was buried within the parasites that were given to her to treat her injury and allow her to keep living. And her lung injury is important as it stands in order to escape her in the beginning of the game.
@@AnothyBouche in part 1, Uncle asks "Who the hell are you?" and goes on a tirade about David Hayter and how Kojima is a bitch or something idk didn't watch it
2:24:00 I felt you got robbed there - you can fulton people that normally can't be fultoned by putting them in a car first and fultoning that. Him falling out automatically is shenanigans.
When I first met the puppy that’s supposed to become D-Dog I didn’t have any tranquilizer rounds so I just shot him. I don’t even know why. Eventually I went back to get the puppy but by that point it was late enough in the game that Quiet was willing to dispatch on missions with me so when D-Dog was also fit for missions there was just no reason to use him. Quiet is just infinitely more useful. I’ve finally started actually using him for missions since I maxed out my bond with D-Horse and Quiet. Just for completions-sake at this point.
It's the same with me. I didn't even find out you could get D-Dog until I had already beaten Skull face. I never used him on Walker Gear. I'm looking to replaying it eventually in a couple years because I'll approach it very differently than my blind playthrough
3:38:14 New headcannon, the End isn't wearing a Ghillie suit, he's just so photosynthetic that his body hair turned into leaves, but Quiet prefers being smooth and clean-shaven/waxed
@5:40:00 i think the biggest reason why people say they want to go and play games even after all the negatives, what i think at least, is the honesty you bring forward about it. People know what they like, and will enjoy things regardless of the quality. And someone being thorough with the game and highlight everything about it will resonate with alot of people. Great vidya.
Truly insane video, the commitment to the actual narrative itself is telling is absurd. That runtime didn't make sense until the end but I very much appreciate how you decided to end it. Was going to leave a longer comment but I have a serious headache now and I keep hearign trumpets WHERE ARE THEY COMING F
As someone who played this religiously with the lore knowledge, love all the little touches to teasers like the headache when thinking about the hospital. This is my fav mgs lore video, very in-depth
The amount of love, care, effort, humour, production value, detail, and just general creativity and passion put into this video made me genuinely emotional. I had no idea who this channel was and I’ve never played or even really heard about a Metal Gear game in my life but I was absolutely enthralled by this whole video, we are so so lucky to live in a time where people make media like this out of passion and share it with the world for free. Thank you so much uncle, instantly subbed and will be going back through your old videos now, you are incredible :)
Gotta say, it’s disappointing to see such a long video and have it not cover the two most interesting parts of the game to have someone who goes into this much analysis talk about. Where’s the killing your homies mission, and where’s the revelation about why you created a custom character at the start? It was already over 5 hours. Couldn’t put in another 10 minutes? And that’s not counting the “real ending” stuff. I’ve only watched a couple of your KH vids before this so expected this to be actually comprehensive.
I love how, despite this trying to seperate itself from the rest of the game, that the fan-made voice acting in chapter 3 makes it 10x obvious that Ishmael is the real Big Boss
I wished the mother base was more like the one in peace walker, with actual stuff that makes it look like a military base and not an oil rig. I feel like the big spaced out nature of it could’ve worked if there was more stuff in the spaces between, just to show progression. Also I wish there was a runway that would deploy choppers or a plane from a hanger whenever you deploy a squad. Wouldn’t it have been sick to see the metal gear sitting on a small platform next to the command platform as well? I also like to imagine that Fulton get picked up by a cargo plane as they do in real life, because Fulton are based off Fulton skyhooks
I asked my uncle to make a detailed breakdown of MG5 and he had no idea what I was talking about.
LMAO, the fuck?
Yes
Maybe because you said "MG5" like its written on your comment and not MGS 5.

I think my favorite quote is "Wow, this game autosaves?!" 😂
Your storytelling skils (so much set up and creative payoff) and especially your voice acting control comes across as effortless, honestly phenomenal skillset at display here. And that's before considering the insanity of writing so much of your own music for this stuff. Just amazing work, especially considering how few essays you've made and how they've been top shelf the whole time. I know people say this all the time, but it's honestly strange you don't have more subscribers considering the 11/10 production value. And I say this all as someone who has been putting a token effort into essaying myself.
The conflicting tone was always something that stood out to me. For every goofy cutscene of Ocelot singing happy birthday to Snake, there's a traumatic scene of Quiet about to be raped. It's very jarring
Also the Sly Cooper 3 music at 1:20:01 gave me flashbacks to my childhood
I didn’t mind it, seems like it was intentional
I think the tone being mismatched is people taking the literal canon narrative and the unrelated side stuff like easter eggs and putting them together. Of course it's tone deaf, it was never meant to be taken in that context like that.

Okay I was like "I feel like I've seen this before" and I went through your older videos and saw this was a compilation video of your 5 part series (i'm counting peace decrease).
For those wondering, that Ground Zeroes tape that is just random noise is actually the sound of an MSX booting up a game, possibly a game called "Portopia" and that game influenced the original metal gear
Just so you guys know, my source is a random comment on Reddit
I’ve seriously been following the ARG since June of 2023 and have like a ten page document keeping track of everything. Now I’m stuck and I don’t know if I’m missing anything or if maybe that’s the point.
If it's about ending mr Vidic are lead scientist from Assassin's Creed
I guess the point is keeping up the hype for when he finally makes Part V
@ratcity129 I have a playlist of all the vids I found that may or may not be related to it.
@@Хорошийигровойканал oh yeah that's because the goal of Abstergo during the Desmond saga of Assassin's Creed was to mind control the entirety of the world's population to enslave humanity with the objective of stopping wars entirely and ensuring eternal world peace.
So in a sense, Warren Vidic is one of the inheritors of The Boss's will.
@@WoobertAIOI don't think there will ever be a part V.
It's worth remembering that Huey's accusation of Miller working with Cipher is actually true, it's just ill timed and from a players perspective, not well known unless you also 100% completed Peace Walker.
IS THAT SILENT MASTADON IN THE INTRO!?
The perfect video for those 6 hours shifts. I would still rewatch this series without the group re upload. Having it is super appreciated!
After going through it again and S ranking all the main missions to unlock the Raiden outfit, I feel like 5 had the potential to be a much bigger expansion on the story. Especially with Zero.
Is it possible to know this author opinion and recollection about the real ending of the game without jumpung though hoops? I just want a complete essay if possible
same here, i listened to this video while working, and don't have time to dig around to find the secret video :/

Great video. I always hoped Steak Bently would make a follow-up to the classic "Metal Gear Solid 4 was a Mistake" video and this seems like the next best thing. Now if you can make the part II to talk about the ending...

This whole part on is genius. As well as the preceding MG1 omen and the "I would've preferred Metal Gear 2". Yeah, I bet you would've, Venom.
5:00:39 the reveal of the horn at the loadout drop is peak characterization and very clever editing. great video
Was this a 40 minute introduction video just to see how interested I was in watching through the whole thing? You just got the full watch time from for for sure
It started as a review and ended up becoming V just like the game itself. He is snake, boss, V, whoever it doesnt matter he was him all along we played the game
It really was right infront of us
The real Big Boss was the wars we perpetuated along the way...
2 hours in. Just wanna say you were born to create, it's videos like this that brings joy to me
1:45:47 Why the hell is it making the Sonic 06 fire lizard death noise?
Oh boy, I can’t wait to see a compilation of the original videos with absolutely nothing added because he completed the whole game!
You’ve made this so much more visually engaging?! Nice.
The subtle shift towards lethal violence as the game progresses and Venoms' 'horn' grows was really spectacular, great video!
As I was watching this video at 4:43:30 i thought to myself "Man i want to watch a long video essay on kingdom hearts 3 since i cant be asked to play the game" only for you to flash such a video on screen was crazy
i’m afraid it’s been… nine years
I too, am afraid 😢
Honestly, fantastic video. I love videos like this a ton! keep up the good work, fam. Also, I am now replaying this game again, thanks.
6 hour video and you didn't get the secret ending.
Bravo Uncle.
Any stealth game in which the best strategy is to run straight at your armed enemies and beat them up is incredibly stupid and I love it.
I really love how you wear your influences on your sleeve instead of shying away from them in fear of seeming derivative. I see a lot of the DNA from Steak Bentley's MGS3 video here & that's a massive compliment.
It's people's inspirations & what they do with them that makes them unique & there's nothing quite like your content out there.
You're the first guy I've seen to tie an entire ARG to a video game review. That's pretentious & needlessly complicated, just like how a true genius kojumbo fan would do it. Don't be deterred from doing stuff like this in the future because a few people are complaining, it's great.
Boss… it’s been 9 years….
It’s funny I’ve gotten back into the phantom pain lately and I see all these comments on mgsv videos posted 9 years ago and my goofy ass can’t help but comment that on everyone single one, I hope the original commenters see them.
The best MGSV series returns in full form. Well done on all the hard work, can't wait to watch!
33:25 the thunder and lightning drowning out your voice was hilarious
This was truly worth the wait. I’m truly proud to be a fan, witnessing you grow your writing, sense of pacing and editing. I also feel like you might have more confidence in yourself, well I hope you do, because you have real talent
That's very nice of you to say, thank you very much.
And yes, I have gained some confidence in myself since I started making these videos. Specifically in my own voice.
that line about being covered in oil and being fucked if it starts raining was great. amazing video, hilarious yet still well made script. this is good shit
I've commented on the individual parts before, but I wanna use this collection to just lay it all out. I LOVE this series of videos. The basic analysis of the game from a story and gameplay level is incredibly solid, the humor style gives these videos so much personality, and the whole incorporation of the initial no-kill run and the trumpets to represent Snake's gradual corruption over the course of the story, as well as how the mechanics push the player to become corrupted themselves, is one of the coolest examples of experimental storytelling I've ever seen. And on top of that, all the music you made for these videos is incredible, so much so that it lead to me becoming a big fan of your music in general, detached from this whole project.
(And, breaking the kayfabe for a second, all that stuff with the other channel has been extremely interesting. It started off with me checking it out and leading a few cringey comments not understanding the bit and then trying poorly to play along, but since I've just become fucking captivated by it, watching others try to figure it out. It's really fascinating, even if most of it goes over my head.)
All in all, this series has been extremely fun to follow, and as sad as it is that it's over, I'm super excited to see what comes next with more of the Assassin's Creed stuff and whatever follows that. Really hope you decide to do something with Death Stranding like you said you might one day, I'd love to see your take on it. But either way, looking forward to the next upload, whenever it's ready!
Not a clue what 90% of your ramblings mean.
Got recommended the video by Algo.
2.5 hours in. Video is great. At least the trumpet thing makes some sense now.
Yup. This is the type of video essay that simply goes down in history. It's a matter of time this gets put on the fucking podium. Absolutely unbelievable storytelling from start to finish, the production value is through the fucking roof. This isn't basic analysis, this is full fledged storytelling.
Welp, I wrote this while listening to the ending part. I just reached the last few seconds of the video. I teared up when I heard the horns again
Thanks Uncle. The dedication and details were inspiring
I love how even thought most of the metal gear community doesn’t like most of what Konami has done the studio is still 14000 times better than the call of duty executives.

People who perform your lifestyle must repent or hell awaits
A few more tricks in case they haven’t been mentioned in other comments-
Children- You can call in a vehicle and put them in it, then Fulton the vehicle to rescue them.
PF Points- The weekly league happens automatically, and you earn more points as your army gets stronger. If you quit playing they continue to accumulate. I played the game when it first came out and a few years later and I had way too many points. I think it’s console\PC specific.
FOBs- Many people turn on security challenge and lower their level so people can freely beat their empty bases for money and materials. I did the same last play through.
DDog Fulton + Rocket Punch + Wormhole = Easiest Game
Finally there was one I didn’t know, it was the fully charged arm. That’s awesome and will be trying that next play through!
Cameras are another way the enemies counter specific playstyles from the player, just like headshotting makes soldiers wear helmets, sniping makes them use decoys, etc. Not sure what triggers the need for cameras though
You can still use your buddy to stop vehicles, but yeah, the commander being sandwiched between two tanks would make even that near impossible without having previous knowledge.
#releasetheKojimacut for Silent Hills and MGS V. (Konami please license the right to Silent Hill to Kojima Productions).
Even though I am not that crazy about this game (mgs 3 is my go-to stealth game), I really love this video. It's long, funny and the edits are epic.
I noticed that you have a lot of other videos. So I will be watching them after this video (esp the kingdom hearts ones).
Also I am going to send my son the song "No more bread". Elementary kids in my area strangely say " Bread!" when they are really happy about something. I guess they must really love bread... And I don't blame them.
Thank you so much for uploading your content! You're awesome. And I hope that you may never run out of bread again.
Okay so no joke I just now realized that all the individual parts of the “MGSV Sucks and I Love It” videos have the same “!,” in the thumbnails.
Could that have been the truth was literally staring us right in the face?
Ahhh I was really hyped for you to talk about coming face to face with the man who sold the world in the end. Maybe another time. Great video, I wanted to save this for work but I couldn't stop watching
Wait, wait, isn't there something missing? Like, a lot of something missing? How very strange...
Snake’s ICONIC shower.
41 minutes into a video to get the intro is the most Kojima thing that you could've done. Bravo 👏
this is.... probably one of if not my most beloved videos known to man, thank you, Uncle.
So what exactly was on Data Cassette? Did we have decoded version of this?
It's not decodable. It's just the sound of an MSX booting up a game. Although, during the true ending of the game, the noise is used for the tape that Venom inserts into that machine (wich I heard is an MSX itself), meaning the noise is canonically the data used for Operation Intrude N313 during Metal Gear 1.
@@TheFordoCanonizationCommittee thx
To be completely fair, The End had functional lungs and was able to breathe. Quiet’s lungs were damaged by the attack at the beginning of the game, so she relies more heavily on her parasite’s photosynthetic abilities to replace her lungs whereas The End used them to conserve his body’s energy by channeling the parasite’s.
I dunno, it made sense to me and never bothered me (except in the trailer where it seemed like it was just for sexualizing her character).
Kojima could have written her to have functional lungs if he wanted to and the English strain parasites would still play their part in her story and character. He really did just want a bikini sniper.
@@joshuapaul1715 sure but the parasites were given to her secretly like fox die inside of snake’s nano machines. The English strain was buried within the parasites that were given to her to treat her injury and allow her to keep living.
And her lung injury is important as it stands in order to escape her in the beginning of the game.

2:24:00 I felt you got robbed there - you can fulton people that normally can't be fultoned by putting them in a car first and fultoning that. Him falling out automatically is shenanigans.
When I first met the puppy that’s supposed to become D-Dog I didn’t have any tranquilizer rounds so I just shot him. I don’t even know why. Eventually I went back to get the puppy but by that point it was late enough in the game that Quiet was willing to dispatch on missions with me so when D-Dog was also fit for missions there was just no reason to use him. Quiet is just infinitely more useful. I’ve finally started actually using him for missions since I maxed out my bond with D-Horse and Quiet. Just for completions-sake at this point.
It's the same with me. I didn't even find out you could get D-Dog until I had already beaten Skull face. I never used him on Walker Gear. I'm looking to replaying it eventually in a couple years because I'll approach it very differently than my blind playthrough
3:38:14 New headcannon, the End isn't wearing a Ghillie suit, he's just so photosynthetic that his body hair turned into leaves, but Quiet prefers being smooth and clean-shaven/waxed
Very strange how in a game where one of the core themes is language, not a single person on Cyprus speaks greek

This video is my first impression of your channel, and I know I love it because the intro rolls about 40 minutes deep into the video
Finished it and were still missing a piece to the puzzle
@5:40:00 i think the biggest reason why people say they want to go and play games even after all the negatives, what i think at least, is the honesty you bring forward about it. People know what they like, and will enjoy things regardless of the quality. And someone being thorough with the game and highlight everything about it will resonate with alot of people.
Great vidya.

As someone who played this religiously with the lore knowledge, love all the little touches to teasers like the headache when thinking about the hospital. This is my fav mgs lore video, very in-depth
WHEN UNCLE! When will I need to remember this tape!?
Thank you Uncle I was starving
Whenever we see the rest of the game.
¡
The amount of love, care, effort, humour, production value, detail, and just general creativity and passion put into this video made me genuinely emotional. I had no idea who this channel was and I’ve never played or even really heard about a Metal Gear game in my life but I was absolutely enthralled by this whole video, we are so so lucky to live in a time where people make media like this out of passion and share it with the world for free. Thank you so much uncle, instantly subbed and will be going back through your old videos now, you are incredible :)
Gotta say, it’s disappointing to see such a long video and have it not cover the two most interesting parts of the game to have someone who goes into this much analysis talk about. Where’s the killing your homies mission, and where’s the revelation about why you created a custom character at the start? It was already over 5 hours. Couldn’t put in another 10 minutes? And that’s not counting the “real ending” stuff. I’ve only watched a couple of your KH vids before this so expected this to be actually comprehensive.
There's an arg surrounding this video
@@assman3862what is that?

I love how, despite this trying to seperate itself from the rest of the game, that the fan-made voice acting in chapter 3 makes it 10x obvious that Ishmael is the real Big Boss
I wished the mother base was more like the one in peace walker, with actual stuff that makes it look like a military base and not an oil rig. I feel like the big spaced out nature of it could’ve worked if there was more stuff in the spaces between, just to show progression. Also I wish there was a runway that would deploy choppers or a plane from a hanger whenever you deploy a squad. Wouldn’t it have been sick to see the metal gear sitting on a small platform next to the command platform as well? I also like to imagine that Fulton get picked up by a cargo plane as they do in real life, because Fulton are based off Fulton skyhooks
