    1:55:44 thoughts & outro
    ON ANOTHER NOTE: I just wanted to talk about the previous video where EVA mentions youth playing video games which funnels to getting enlisted in wars. The conversation it sparked in the comments was SUPER interesting and this is partly is why I love to do this on RUclips, to be able to approach subjects like that and see other perspectives. I couldn't answer to all the comments about it, but I still wanted to address it here:
    On the matter of propaganda - YES it can definitely happen, with any type of media that is. That is not what I was referring to, although I do see why some would make that connection. Like glamourizing war. However, I would love to see actual statistics on the matter. Statistics of someone enlisting in the military because of video games. If you have any sources, I would love to read on it (genuinely). I never really thought of it in that way from my perspective, and I think it's because of my culture and being Canadian. War and the military is simply not as a huge part of our culture as, say, the United States. So it's interesting to hear different perspectives on the matter.
    That being said, developing an interest in something because you saw it in the game (in this case, the military) is totally fair, I can definitely see that happening. _However_ I don't think this means people necessarily get desensitize when they actually do get into the military, even consider it a game (like EVA said), and that was the point I was making in the first place in my last video. I also don't believe that you're magically a more gifted soldier because you've played war games before (I've seen this point in the comments). It's like playing Operation and thinking you'll have an easier time becoming a doctor and be desensitized and still see it as a game when you get to actually operate on a living human being. The reality is COMPLETELY different and humans generally know the difference between that and video games when they get confronted with that reality. I can only imagine how shooting in a video game VS shooting on an actual target IRL is on a whole other level and completely different. You're welcomed to say I'm wrong if you're in the military though, since I'm not. I'll gladly listen to any actual lived experience and learn from that.
    Concerning the Metal Gear Solid series as a whole, I do enjoy the anti-war overall message, although it does go through multiple hoops to get there. My problem is, they touch on the subject of 'players play videos games - players become soldiers' on a very surface level a handful of times. This is what bothers me. Having the themes of war, violence, propaganda is great, but this type of throw away comment made every once in a while in a 4th wall breaking way only reinforces the stigma of video games making people more violent instead of being a commentary on society. It's unnecessary. That is what I meant to say in the last video. Hopefully this makes sense! You are welcomed to disagree of course, and thank you for all the interesting comments on this subject!

      I had always interpreted in the context of the game. The Patriots created these 'Video Games' to seamlessly integrate young minds into a war system. To create perpetual war. And, not ironically,but factually, the United States government does train soldiers. TLDR; I believe what Kojima was getting at was using such a tool to train people entering into the military may desensitize young minds.
      I totally agree with you on the whole video games and violent thing. It's a bunch of bologna. But I didn't think Kojima was saying 'If you play this game, you're going to kill people' even though ironically many do. Because you always have an option to not. 😅

      @@WhimsyPsyche where I am from all males go to the army for military training in case of war. We don't have a big military so in case of war, we are basically all enlisted.
      Funny enough, I did have lots of practice with real bullets but we did have a very primitive VR simulation as well!
      We basically used modified versions of our guns and we shot targets on a projection on the wall. The guns I think we're shooting CO2 or some other kind of gas onto the wall and it could accurately determine if you made the shot.
      It was like an arcade game but with real weapons.
      Now regarding real life examples of people who went to the military because of games, I think it's almost impossible to know that. I think some people can be impressed by guns and games can provide them knowledge on how to use them. Just look how much info there is in MGS. I was 16 when this game came out and I already knew all about these weapons you can pick up.
      A kid who is impressionable can be convinced to join the military thinking that it is cool. After all most soldiers are just 18 years old when they enlist.
      There's a game called America's Army. It is distributed for free by the us Army and it is used to entice people to enlist.

    45:51 The Protagonist of Zone of the Enders 2 FYI. ZOE (ZOE1 - 2001, ZOE2 - 2003) was Kojima's far-flung future games set in the 22nd century where humans had colonized planet Mars and wars were fought with giant flying mechs that were much bigger, stronger, faster and capable than building-sized MGS mechs like Metal Gears.

    Would've loved if the music had been triggered by itself, because I never used the iPod more than the first time to see how it works. I want the devs to set the tone and use soundtracks accordingly, by choosing my own soundtrack it feels like I mess with what the dev wants to convey.
    46:25 Funny that you say that, because I think the PlayStation is in the one of the shelves in the background here. Second cabinet from the left, second shelf from the top.
    47:45 You could've activate the electric floor here to roast that mechanical cow if you wanted to.
    53:30 DOUBLE KILL!
    The Crying Wolf fight wasn't too much fun for me also. The constant other enemies coming at you and that your sight is often times obscured by snow on top of that... didn't like it much.

      that is the power of retconning and keeping stuff quite vague. None of this was ever planned out ahead, instead they retconned it in every new game (which is e.g why they made the mistake of referring to Dr Clark as male in the English version of MGS1 when Big Mamma in MGS4 tells us that it was really ParaMedic).

      Dr.Clark being Male from MGS1 is a translation error from my understanding.
      The English language doesn't have a gender neutral word when referring to a person. The player was never meant to know if Dr. Clark is a man or a women. This is to keep the Identity vague and mysterious.

    1:57:48 my experience with the games up to when I played mgs4 back in the day was I actually had binged all the Metal Gears in one go in preparation for mgs4. I knew I loved the series because my babysitter when I was a kid was a huge fan and told me about some of the characters but she didn’t remember it was rated M and at the time I was smol and M was forbidden xD My first M game was either Oblivion or Halo 3 in 2007 (I actually can’t remember which I played first) but then I was like “well MGS4 is right around the corner I need to play the other games” so I got mgs1 on my psp, mgs2 and 3 on ps2 (even got and played Portable Ops on PSP which was amazing by the way super underrated), played through them and got to MGS4 it was amazing to back-to-back play through the games.
    And then a few years after mgs4 Peace Walker helped me get through a long hospital stay. This game series means heck of a lot to me. Also apologies if this is rambly it’s late where I am and I am sleepy but I wanted to share before I slept xD

    Don't 4get to use the auto aim if ur in trouble with enemies makes it easier to get out of a jam
    Stick to the shadows as it helps u recover psyche naturally otherwise take some regain
    Lastly while using the Moisin Nagant remember that u can zoom in even more with it , there is a X3 and X10 on the scope so and you were only using X3 which made it difficult for you during the boss battle.

    Good thing about going into the Nuclear Warhead Storage Facility in this game is that we didn't have to deal with that annoying restriction by the nanomachines of using our weapons around the missiles. If you didn't remember the password, there was a cutscene of Otacon remebering he wrote the password on a sheet of paper and then Snake's psyche goes down a bar.
    If you wanted to get rid of that Gekko in the hallway, you could use the Mark 3 to use the switchboard to turn the currents on to electrify the Gekko.
    If you killed Crying Wolf both times, the cutscene will have the wolf howl with sadness. If you had gone to the 3rd floor on one of the towers, you would've heard another flashback of Liquid confronting Snake on the rooftop with the Hind.

    The poster in Otacon office is from Zone Of The Enders 2 (PS2). The MGS remake in Game Cube replaced the Policenauts (another Kojima game from the 90s) poster with this one. So now we get the Policenauts one covered by the ZOE2 one.

    This is fan service done right. This is a story spanning over a decade in games if you include the Nintendo games. While (only referencing what I know you've played so far) there are retcons after retcons it's all done in service of making everything meaningful and tied together for the payoff players wanted. Someone picking this game up without having played the ones before would be absolutely lost and have a completely incoherent experience I would suspect. But the way Kojima chose to approach is was just unashamedly his vision and what he wanted to deliver to the player base that has been with these characters since the 90s.

    Funny fact to give you Whimsy. If you shoot the Wolf Dogs by accident or on purpose, Otacon will get mad & be disappointed at you when calling him on Codec.
    Another fact for you: The dubbed codec flashback calls you're hearing for earning the 1000+ Drebin Points, is taken from MGS The Twin Snakes voice files. Not the original MGS1 PS1 voice files.
    45:45 - That poster you're looking at who you thought looks like "Cyborg Raiden", is the Character "Dingo Egret" (yes that's his name) from another Hideo Kojima game called "Zone of the Enders". More particular, "Zone of the Enders - The 2nd Runner". Try playing this 2 part game series, when you get the chance 😁👍
    Also you've missed out getting another Ipod song: Beyond the Bounds. This can only be obtained, after "Otacon reboots the bases power system". To get this Ipod song, you must trace back to the "Tank Hanger - Upper Floor room", where it us guarded by a few "Dwarf Gekkos".
    Other goodies: When inputting the code Numbers that Otacon tells you, you can input the following: 14893 - earns you 100,000 Drebin Points. 13462 - earns an Ipod music track "Policenauts. 78925 - earns an Ipod music track " Old L.A. 2040". And lastly is 12893 - which gives you 20% discount for weapons on Drebin's Shop.

    13:27 this scene onward, and a little bit before, was just fantastic. Messing up the stealth plan and just escalating bit by bit until we end up with a grenade launcher with serene string instrument music, all the DP Popups and a bunch of destroyed mechs (accompanied by some noises of glee). That's a moment of failure, followed by reviewing the situation and resources, followed by success and control. That's the MGS spirit! Followed by Yabbabaaababababayyy 14:40

    When you got the Mk.23 under the truck, it's not blocked by OSP like regulary guns you find. You don't need to unlock it with Drebin. Maybe it's because it belongs to a time before the system. Like the .45 Operator.

    20:28 not sure if you noticed but they used the voice of Rob Paulsen who played the role of Gray Fox in the remake. Thing is Greg Eagle the original voice of Gray Fox also played Donald Anderson in the OG game and I'm guessing since the OG voice actors reprised their roles again to record the same lines they didn't want to have him play 2 characters again it could be tiresome im guessing.

    Since you have most likely beaten the game by now, and since i havent seen others talk about it, there are several guns that have bean bag ammo that acts as nonlethal and is very useful against frogs. There is also some more fun ammo that causes emotions from people, such as laughing or crying. Very fun to play around shooting the rebels in act 1 and causing them to laugh and shoot their friends.

    MGSV Phantom Pain only after Peace Walker (Portable ops maybe, before it), followed by Ground Zeroes.
    Phantom Pain without Ground Zeroes is a metal gear sin.
    And playing Peace Walker ads alot of weight to Ground Zeroes, definitely is a must play, but it takes a while to finish.
