@SNESLIVE well, I'm not a boomer and I agree with you. Those same people who are telling you to get with the times are also living in an age where AAA gaming has become nothing more than empty cash grabs and micro-transactions. At least back when you had beautiful cover art and well crafted instruction booklets, you felt like you got a piece of art that people cared about and put their soul into.
@@trueaddict8733 exactly! Agree with everything . And yeah All games these days are rushed and broken the day they launch then they fix it with constant updates months after the game was released.
CuTie _ some people take pride in things like this “I own an unopened, 21 year old copy of the first installment in the legendary Metal Gear Solid series” others keep these things for their value. Serious buyers would probably pay up to $10k for this. It’s a piece of video game history
@@c73per Simply because, while I've no real collectables of note, I am a game collector at heart. Monetary value aside, this piece is a wet dream for me. Extemely rare, sealed and one of my favorite franchises of all time. Opening this instantly devalues it a certain degree. If I were ever lucky enough to be in his position I would never break the seal.
This is by far the most aesthetically flawless, beautifully considered, shot and ASMR inducing unboxing video I've ever seen. Also my favourite game of all time in the most limited form I've ever seen. Bravo TheRelaxingEnd.
I still remember how I got sucked into gaming just watching the first few minutes of this gameplay at a local gaming house in Lagos many years ago. I couldn't sleep or eat afterwards , still thinking how a video game could be so engaging, like reading a James Hadley chase novel. By far the best gaming experience I have had in my life and the reason I game till now.
I remember the late 90s, when the future was still exciting to me as a young teen. Technology, consoles and computers were awe-inspiring. I no longer have that sort of excitement and awe today, but seeing that old PlayStation booting up brings a little bit of that back for a brief moment.
I love everything about the late 90s man, no internet, no smartphones, just couple of cables, a controller and legendary games on TV and Game Boy, then hanging out with your friends until night. Best years ever.
Exactly I feel the same way, smartphones seemed to have killed that because you can do everything on your phone now. 20 years ago buying games was as exciting as playing them, now everyone preorders digitally... wow how thrilling and exciting that experience feels.
One of the MOST satisfying videos i ever seen! The unboxing and the presentation LEGENDARY, the MGS Premium Package is awesome, and in the end.....the gameplay!
I've never been able to become attached to a game's story since the ending of MGS. The only other game that I've cared about the story in is Valkyria Chronicles, and that's more of a visual novel within a game, anyway.
Change the port of the joystick for Psycho-mantis doesn't read in our thoughts... Find the frequency of Meryl codec behind the box of the cd... One of the best game ever,with revolutionary ideas for his time!
@Evangelos Killer mike name one game before Metal Gear Solid where you had to switch the controller port to beat a boss (one that could also read your memory card and cause your controller to vibrate for no reason than to build his character)
This just makes me want to bust out the Sony Playstation 2 to play Metal Gear Soild. Great memories playing this game as a child. It sure does take me back to a much simpler time.
Metal gear solid is easily my favorite game of all time. On top of that the playstation start up noise combined with the konami intro makes me so so so happy. so many great memories of playing this with my dad when i was little. This video is amazing
Thank you playing that first cut scene man brought back so many memories such a cool game I’m glade I got to play the shit out this masterpiece of a game 👍
honestly i feel like sending something like this to stock holders and investors was a waste. most of them probably didn't care about games at all. it's so pretty though
Actually, people do like things like this, especially when it gives insight into the quality of the product. It's not like anyone wouldn't invest if they didn't get these sorts of things, but things like this do send a message to investors about the kind of products being made. Were there people who didn't care? Sure, but some people are very hands on with their investments and those people expect things like this. They want to see how their money is being spent. Those kinds of people might have continued to invest even in the event that MGS had flopped if they saw this package and liked the product. They might have said to themselves, "I saw that thing they sent me. It looked like the high quality product. I'm not sure why it didn't sell, but I think I'll hold onto my stock or invest once again." Anyway, the cost to produce a box like this in relation to the amount the people who invested in the product spent is worth it.
@Evangelos Killer mike Bruh your hypocritical ass is going on every comment and trying to pick on people. And then you call people trolls? These are facts.
@Flandre Scarlet People give Sega alot of crap, but they have been still putting out halfway decent games/products in recent times. Everything from the respectable Sonic the Hedgehog movie, to the stellar Yakuza series, and the Sega Genesis Mini. Sega even puts out the occasional good Sonic game. Too bad Konami wasn't more like this... well that Turbografx Mini looks to be alot of fun.
When you thought that the package would actually include a PS1 console due to the size of the box. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Konami ought to get their act back together and make console games again - I miss the Suikoden series 😕
I absolutely enjoyed the way you handled the package it was very respectful and it was A little of A tease, but again, very respectful. I’d watch more of this. Thanks for sharing this with experience
Now this-THIS-is what an unboxing should be. The obsessive in me is a little sad the video isn't 13 minutes and 37 seconds. Subscribed. REALLY looking forward to your unboxings in the future, @TheRelaxingEnd.
For anyone who wants to know what he said: “Ah, you ordered something from Japan again, huh? Thank you so much! The original Metal Gear Solid really is a masterpiece, isn’t it? Even now, I still play it on my Vita.”

Thanks for the close-ups to the Japanese. It's funny how now we can just use Google Translate and the camera feature in it to simply point my phone to my TV and translate it immediately onto my screen. I can pause that and take my time to read it sitting down. I didn't think I could do that just 5-10 years ago. Crazy.

The young Hideo Kojima back in 1998 to now
I met him on Saturday. He has changed a lot. Now he looks like he is made of devious wisdom, rather than naive excitement.
@Brick Bazooka he is probably a shitbox fanboy, don't even bother with those kinds of people
@Brick Bazooka don't bother, he might be a Fortshit player who does that retarded spastic dance and posts it online.
the kojima back then was making actual good games compare to the kojima now who has made 3 bad games in a row

I still can't decide MGS or Dark souls. Both just mind blowing good
@@Hatehead89 Dark Souls is an epic game too, that's true. But I still go with MGS 1

That is just simply amazing.
This is like having the ps4 pro 500 million 20 years later, sealed in perfect condition.

Joey seriously, between the voice acting and the cinematic style of the game, it paved the way for story telling and quality in future games.
