I still love that despite the fact Big Boss is dying, he still has the energy to give Snake an entire ass video essay explaining everything in Metal Gear.
@@Jnrisdead you're right, you renamed yourself Jeremiah and became an old man with pinecone beard dreads in The Long Dark (great game btw, Jeremiah is also voiced by David Hater)
I love the fact that when playing the games in chronological order, you go almost directly from this scene to Raiden suplexing a metal gear ray with rules of nature blasting in the background
There's MGS V where he had dialogue with Ocelot: -About 72 project -Les Enfants Terribles...Terible Children -That madness Zero started, your sons. -They aren't sons of mine. What they are is much sicker than that. But MGS 4 was first
he only called Soild son cuz Soild is the only Snake who fight against his fate and success, others like he mentioned are just tools though they had the chance to fight against the fate.
In a sense it feels as talking to us gamers, who have been playing the metal gear series as "snakes", and given the closeness to the end of metal gear series, we won't be able to be "snakes" anymore and live on as men ;c
I tend to think the last six months of Snake's life after this consisted of him traveling to the places he always wanted to visit, trying the foods he always wanted to try, seeing a few good movies that he always wanted to watch, visiting all the people he called friends one last time, and writing down his refelctions on his life. Then, after six months of doing all that, he died peacefully in his sleep. Not as a Snake the Soldier, but as David the man.
@@wess1797 ehm, no, not really. There's a wooden sword dlc item, but it serves decoratory purposes. This wooden sword plays his lines. This however, is no indication that his memory was uploaded. So, he's pretty dead.
Seriously, the average person dies 2 minutes after being exposed. Ocelot lasted a 10 minute fight after exposure. Big Boss lasted 30 minutes and he had just awoken from a 15 year coma.
@@yoursonisold8743 well big boss survived being near a nuclear-looking explosion in mgs 3 so of course a stupid disease will not instantly kill him. The man isn't called big boss by everyone for nothing.
its hilarious that after decades of training, snake still gets his shit kicked in by the one technique he refused to learn, from the one guy who knows it.
@@YaYAbIsCiT Genetically speaking he is even if he's considered a "clone". There's still recessive and dominant genes that have taken place regarding the three Snakes.
I feel like making the mgs3 cast into the founders of the patriots was a pretty retarded twist, I guarantee that wasn't the intention until mgs4 was being written and kojima had to come up with answers to questions he never intended on answering
@@tastycookiechip That's understandable but in mgs3 they didn't really seem to care very much about the boss, it makes no sense that they would want to create a religion surrounding the boss/big boss to create the boss's ideal world. Idk tho maybe I'm missing something
@@YoungSlimeBillionaire You're right but the hardcore MGS/Kojima fans will willfully ignore that, it was a mistake to make MGS4 revolve around Big Boss and the cast of operation snake eater. Some support unit from a secret mission back in the 60's end up being founders for what is basically Metal Gear's version of the illuminati, it's silly.
Ocelot loved Big Boss. A love the is beyond the love for a rival, beyond a spouse, beyond a brother, beyond a father, beyond a son, Ocelot Loved his Willpower, his drive, his values, his role, his mission, His vision.. It is a a love beyond the flesh. A love not of a person but of principle. Ocelot loved Big Boss's very SPIRIT and how he fought to manifest it.. Big boss's vision was a direct representation of his soul, And in such.. Big Boss was Ocelots "soul mate". He saw that very spirit in Snake. Thus The kiss. That very kiss, is the expressed love one shows for not an individual, but a belief system. That kiss was a form of communal worship of the vision Big Boss had, and the spirit that manifested it. again.. seeing that spirit in Solid Snake. Ocelot Idolized Big Boss. That idol being the representation of the heaven they both sought. Thus Ocelot was always pulling the strings making sure Big Boss's way was clear to bring about their heaven. A Guardian angel of sorts. Imagine having to inherit the foul demon Liquid Snake that could only spit upon Big Bosses very image... Very much a sacrifice comparable to the one "The Boss" Made for "Big Boss". Everyone played their role to escort Big Boss to power. in comes dumb idiot pawn solid snake to fuck it all up..... xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD One that Matches The Boss himself, here to be the undoing.. and possibly the pro generator then is told to stop fucking it up and just live life. less he simply bring 0 back from nothingness. restarting everything. Kojima had written ALOT of the untold interpersonal parts throughout the entire series. Like a producers commentary All the story that couldnt be put into the games otherwise... they'd be movies and not games x] So if you think mgs4 was pushing it.. just wonder if all the games had 2x more than mgs4's storytelling cutscenes xD
Who said Big Boss even died? He just dropped his cigar. His arm was still on his knee and his head up straight, he didn't go limp. He could be meditating lol.
For those who dont get, this is all the snakes: Naked Snake/Big Boss - He is the the one with the eye patch in this video. He is the main protagonist of MGS3, MGSPW, MGSGZ, and the villain of MG2. He is the legendary soldier, he is basically the captain of america of MG universe. Everyone love him and idolize him. Solid Snake - He is the protagonist of MG1, MG2, MGS1, MGS4, and he is one of the protagonist in MGS2. The first time they cloned Big Boss, twins were born, one of them is Solid Snake. He is 40 years old in this video, he looks old because his body entered a state of accelerated aging due to intentional genetic changes made during the cloning process. They fear that the clones maybe one day betray the USA, so they make this as security measure. Solid has less than half a year of life after this scene. Liquid Snake - he is the main villain in MGS1. Twin brother of Solid. He is Eli in MGS5. He died in MGS1. Solidus Snake - he was the third clone made, but from a differenty mother. He is the main villain in MGS2. The Patriots made Solidus as the perfect clone. He is the youngest of the clones, but he look just like Big boss from this video. The Patriot make him like this so the common people would like him, because he look just like Big Boss. He was the President of the USA in the events of MGS1. He died in the end of MGS2. The body that everyone believe that was Big boss in MGS4 act 3 is actually the body of Solidus. Venom Snake - He is the protagonist of MGS5. He was one of the best soldier from Big boss, and he was a medic. When the helicópter crash in the end of MGSGZ, they took him and zero planned and provided funds to have the medic molded into a mirror image of Big Boss, both mentally and physically. Induced hypnagogia imbued the medic with Big Boss' mind, and plastic surgery was enacted to give him Big Boss' face. When he awoke, the medic would believe he was Big Boss. He died in MG1 by the hands of Solid Snake.
@@dietmard.dittelsen6364 Akio Ōtsuka, the son of Chikao Ōtsuka (Who is a veteran voice actor by the way.), provided the voice for Solid Snake in the Japanese dub for years now, and provided the motion capture for Big Boss while his father voiced over. The father was called into this project to ease the friction between the two family members. Learn your facts before you call somebody an idiot for things that you clearly know nothing about sh*t for brains.
What's even better is that in MGSV he refers to the clones from Les Enfants Terribles saying, "They're no sons of mine; they're much sicker than that". I think that really shows his progression from Naked Snake in Operation: Snake Eater, to Big Boss finding out about his sons cloned without consent, forming various Outer Heavens all in the name of the Boss' will, to Big Boss telling his only remaining clone to not make the same errors he made and live a life worth living, like a father to his son. It took him a while, but he learnt his lesson and passed it on to Solid, despite despising even the idea of his clones 30 years before.
@@BaeYeou you nailed it. It's so sad how it was only at the very end of their lives that Big Boss and Solid Snake could look each other in the eye and talk. And the evolution of BB's mind from hatred of the Les Enfants Terribles project to respecting and loving his last offspring. He truly could see in the end that Snake was not just a clone, he was his own person, and he accomplished great things, defeated him, and was overall a more decent human being than all the old guys combined. Big Boss's respect for his son was really heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
Nah, its basically this quote: "You mustn't allow yourself to be chained to fate, to be ruled by your genes. Human beings can choose the kind of life that they want to live. What's important is that you choose life... and then live." -Naomi Hunter
I forgot how human the ending of this was. There was no true singular big bad in the end - just the cumulative decisions of a lot of powerful people being swept away beyond their control in a direction that was more coincidence than intended consequence.
It was a powerful indictment of systems that allow war to be profitable because whatever intentions that led the war economies to self-propagate are inevitably swept away by the scale of the power (that wants to persist and therefore grow) now invested in perpetual war economies. Outer haven was designed to end wars, the patriots were designed to use the philosophers’ profits to create a world where war wasn’t necessary, etc
The true evil in the world is not bad people, but the system that makes it. Even if the system itself is completely destroyed, a new one will take its place to maintain order. The effect of that new system is what we see in Metal Gear Revengeance.
Can we just acknowledge hes full on having a heart attack and yet he has the strength to not only give a 20min speech but to stand and salute The Boss. True sheer will right there
Hideo Kojima had become an unstoppable, unquestionable, arrogant megalomaniac by this point (not in a good way) who loved the smell of his own farts. Nobody questioned him because he was surrounded by weasels and yes-men who just wanted a pay cheque. Im glad Konami told him to f**k off because this is just self indulgent nonsense. 26 f**king minutes for an old man to have a heart attack and yet somehow give a meandering melodramatic speech. They don’t even speak like humans. It’s like they’re aliens or something, imitating the English language, trying so hard to force “the drama”. 🙄 I’ll stick to games that resemble actual games, not weirdo anime cartoons
Things might wouldn't gone so chaotic had the Boss just thought of leaving behind a written will of some sort XD. Or at least some message...who knows, to EVA perhaps? Of course, that's what makes the whole story interesting, and perhaps she might not have the chance to do so in the first place. But just think about it, her being vague is what caused this mess to blow up.
@@renseiryuu If you think about it, The Boss was more than clear in her actions and words. At the beginning of the mission she makes his last speech to John, explaining that loyalty is the most important thing, "Do you want to live like a soldier or like a man with a gun?" Patriotism, no matter who your president is or whether your country is doing it wrong or not, you must do what your country asks of you. She wanted balance in the world, and above all respect for other people's ideas, and not just her own. The Boss had accepted his fate, to sacrifice himself to save his country (and the world too) while trying to change it, or oppose "Times" would only fuel more wars and divisions, exactly what Big Boss and Zero did. Big Boss" She betrayed me, instead of continuing to fight she surrendered to her destiny, I will instead fight our 'Times' to make it the way I want" Zero "The boss wanted a united world, so I will try to dominate it and impose my idea on others"... Big boss himself said the right thing in his last moment. "We're just a bunch of old fools who ruined the world" P.s Yes, Eva leave a message to Big Boss, but he still don't get It...
@@Lansone31 I dunno, it still doesn't feel clear to me even now XD. Perhaps I'm just a dum dum. If anything, those words just feel like her way of saying "be yourself". And then, Big boss and Zero deciphered the "be yourself" with their own interpretation. I didn't catch the part where "things must be balanced" or "leave things as it is".
@@renseiryuu No you're not😂, it's just very complicated to follow the whole story, but putting all the pieces together can be easier to understand. (Also add the fact that English is not my mother tongue😂) I'll give you a simple example, when she was entrusted with her mission, which is to pretend to "Defect", she certainly could have opposed it. She was a hero, daughter of one of the "philosophers" by the way, she could have tried a golpe to keep her position and her respect as a soldier. What would this bring? Internal wars in the US and probably chaos in the world at a political level, whoever did not agree with The Boss idea would have declared war, and even if she had won, and imposed her good ideas on the world, would all the dead and destruction be justified? (Basically the same scenario as the Zero/BB war) The boss didn't want this, precisely because she respected the ideas of others, she also respected the decision of his superiors to sacrifice herself, because it was probably the best thing to do to avoid a total war between the USA and the USSR. "Do you want to be a soldier? Don't fight only for your ideals and selfishness. Fight for the best choice for the whole world" Big Boss instead chose to fight only for himself and his men, not caring about the rest, so he became just "a man with a gun". Or at least, this Is what i think.
Zero admired and respected Big Boss, hell everyone from the Patriots loved Big Boss, but Zero and those that fell in with him were too determined to see the Boss’ Will come to fruition rather than compromising with the man. Like a parent that thinks they know better than a child, Zero was blinded just like everyone else in the series...
He did all three. He hated him for veering off his interpretation of the Boss’s will. Feared him for what he’d do if his interpretation came into direct conflict with his. Missed him for the friend that was once on his side - showing how impacted and shattered friendships can be if things are not handled correctly, succinctly and willing to put ego aside for the greater good.
Such a monumental doubt. Big Boss was always sure. Sure enough to cast the world into chaos; to raise armies over his idea of liberty. I wonder if that doubt was the final piece needed for him to find faith. Faith in a world without snakes. Without men like him. At least he found peace. In the end.
The fact that Ocelot is so good at covert ops that he can convince himself hes a completely different person still blows my mind until this day. It could be possible that none of us have ever seen the real ocelot.
I was about to say MGS1 and 3, but then I realized, in 3 he's working for CIA under cover of a Russian soldier and an Ocelot unit member. And in 1 he's secretly working for the president, and keeping a lot of information from Liquid. I still think we do see most of real Ocelot's character in 1, he's just keeping stuff to himself.
MGSV is the closest we see, primarily because Ocelots true loyalty was to his mother (The Boss), and to Big Boss after her death. His loyalty to Big Boss and his desire to end the Patriots was his focus throughout the entire series. The bit of honesty you get from him in MGS4 is when he asks Snake: "Stop you? Now why would I want to do that?" He wanted snake to succeed, MGS4 his actual intent was to seize, reveal, and destroy the patriots. Just as Big Boss ultimately wanted.
Fun fact : the grave that snake visiting is grave of Big Boss. the tomb stone said... ""A hero forever loyal to the flames of war rests in Outer Heaven 193X-1999"" but as the lore update in MGSV. the grave now is actually Venom's grave. since he is the "Big Boss" who died in outer heaven.
Not really. Venom died during Operation Intrude N313 in 1995, not 1999. 1999 Was the date that the real Big Boss “died” so it is a grave to the real Big Boss.
Big Boss was technically killed twice in MG1 and MG2. The first "Big Boss" in MG1 was Venom, and he really did die. He wasn't put into nanomachine stasis or some crap like that. He was really dead. The "Big Boss" in MG2 was the REAL Big Boss, and he didn't really die. He was put into a coma via nanotechnology and only woke up after the Patriots were taken down in MGS4.
Considering Big Boss spills the beans on practically everything in this scene, it kinda doesn't make sense to not tell him about Venom at this point. Solid Snake would die soon after this anyway and take it to the grave with him. I know V is a ret con and all, but it doesn't completely fit into the greater story. Seemed like it would have been perfect to mention it when he's talking about Ocelot being Liquids Doppelganger "and btw Snake, i had a Doppelganger too".
Man is too talkative to die. He's been dying for 20 minutes and was able to stand up on his own. Attention: Looks like this comment thread is a wee bit famous. Congratulations to all of you who also enjoy MGS.
Solid Snake: Liquid died of foxdie when am I gonna die ? Naomi: Everybody dies when their time is up. Solid Snake: So when is my time up ? Naomi: It's up to you how you use the time you have left. Live snake. Solid Snake: Wow, thanks naomi!
What did you want him to say? Anything other than that answer would've been a lie. He said what every good father should say to a stupid son who's afraid of the inevitability of death.
4:55 I love how Big Boss basically hints at the ending of MGS5. Kojima is so good at retroactively giving his lines more meaning than they had initially.
On the meta level, Kojima specifically choose the actual father of JP Solid Snake to voice JP Big Boss. Even more meta is that they both have a rocky relationship at the time so both the mocap and voicework in this scene is much more powerful than usual.
Didn't Kojima also get 'favors' from that cosplayer who did like the the Raiden face mask/Raincoat Snake that was so blatant everyone knew she was wiping Kojima cum off that faceplate!??
Vemon is just the biggest badass in all of metal gear he was severely injured but even bigboss and ocelot saw him as big boss better or equal he defeated skull face
@@donnellebarfield3964 I think its more of a coincidence that Venom snake worked out so well. It was Zero who got the ball rolling through, Boss was still in a coma. and ocelot is just working for Zero as some kind of favor or possibly to get something in return.
Me too. Only played 3 and 4.. And little of 5. Best games ever, those 2.. Even though I don't remember anything but the feeling I had while completing it
@@jonathansmithers2763 I mean, you're on PC, google it? :S MGS2 was on gog, it only appears intermittently, they pull it, then put it back on, apparently at will. When it does show up again, be sure to grab V's patch and SOS mod, V's patch fixes the game, SOS mod re-writes camera code in the game, and introduces MGS3 Subsistence 3PP camera mode.
When Snake lights boss's cigar, I shed tears. For the first time, he finds respect for his estranged father, who was once his enemy. That moment righ t there makes this whole scene for me
a boy from NEU he’s probably thinking that they could had been allies and actually could of had a father son relationship had zero not basically brainwashed snake into thinking BigBoss was a villain. Zero put them against each other even tho they never did any harm to each other personally, they didn’t even choose their own battles.
irish mickey yea but who ended up being the bigger villain in the end? Him or zero? BigBoss was never truly a villain most of the worst stuff “BigBoss” did was actually done by Venom Snake.
+ D-Dad?? (Brother???) But I killed you decades ago!! With a rocket launcher!!! - No, that wasn't me. That was the other me. The other Big Boss + WHAT???
I find it sad that Big Boss never realised what The Boss's will actually was until the very end of his life. Not a world where soldiers are always needed, but instead a world where they arent needed to be created in the first place.
It's not that he didn't realize it, he became angry at the system for everything they did to the Boss and to him. He saw so much shit in his lifetime he just went on a personal vendetta to stick it to the system. Big Boss is a tragic hero, it's not that he didn't realize, he knew all along and tried to do good and achieve Boss's vision. But when the system betrays him, Big Boss stops playing by the rules.
@@TruetoCaesar Pretty sure in the “The Man Who Sold The World” mission in MGSV it’s clarified that Naked Snake was Ishmael working to get Venom out of the hospital, after the car crash he met up with Ocelot, got some clothes and his eyepatch, and left on a motorcycle before Venom regained consciousness.
@@TruetoCaesar nope, Ishmael _was_ Naked Snake, on the first mission, Ocelot got him out of the crashed car first and send him on his way, then he woke up Venom later.
I always say that Solid Snake is the embodiment of The Boss’s will. The beautiful thing about this is that he never knew about her until the end of MGS4. Big Boss admitted at the end that after he killed The Boss he was a broken man and because of this he misinterpreted The Boss’s will by being angry and disappointed by the world’s governments view of soldiers being tools. Solid Snake knew about this and knew that it is unfair for soldiers, but he accept it. Snake always knew that soldiers will be forever tools of war, this is the reality. Knowing this, Snake was always trying to the right thing for the world to have a better future, not to change it. Big Boss on the contrary, was trying to do things his own way no matter the cost to change the world for a “better” future and look how he ended up. The Boss knew she was a tool during Operation Snake Eater. Was it fair? No. Was this the right thing to do to save or make the world better? Yes. Even if she will be remembered as the villain to the world, in her eyes and beliefs she did the right thing to prevent a Nuclear War, and achieved it. She couldn’t change the Cold War, but did the right thing to have a better future and the Cold War follow its course in history like nothing ever happened. She was not a hero, never was, never will be. The Patriots were the total opposite of what The Boss believe. The Patriots never respect the world as it is, this is why they wanted total control and this is why Solid Snake was trying his best to defeat them and never wanted nothing in return unlike his father and brothers. Big Boss - I will fight Cipher because I WANT to change the world for MY soldiers. Liquid - I will fight The Patriots because I WANT my future that was denied from me before birth. Solidus - I will fight The Patriots because I WANT to be remembered. Snake - I must fight The Patriots because it is my duty to protect what I believe in and others, even if it kills me. I’m no hero, never was, never will be. Snake knew to let the world to be as it is, doesn’t mean you won’t do nothing, but try to do the right and best thing as a soldier. Have your own morals, beliefs, honor and humility and follow it because they’re your own, not the government or organizations. Trying not to be the hero of the world. You may be a hero to the public but in reality you are just a tool. This is something that Liquid, Solidus and Big Boos never understood. They wanted to be the saviors of the world and change it. Don’t try to change the world. Respect the world and others, the world will be in constant change by itself by the Times and it will always be that way. War will continue on forever but there will be a time that you as an individual need peace. You already fought your battles, follow your orders, follow your beliefs and finished the mission. Now is time to live life not as a soldier, not as a snake, but as a man.
Heh.. SOmeone perfectly caught on the message ''Dont try to change the World(Its cocky and selfish on the world and the people and the things on it and you shouldn't worry about changing it it will change itself better than with your intrusion) Fight for what you believe in: your morals, beliefs, honor and dignity use humility to not trample on other people morals and stuff.. War is never gonna end, if you defeat one madman its just a matter of time till another take his place. You should focus on passing your beliefs, morals and stuff to the other generations so they can too evolve and survive on new eras and pass on effectively to their descendants. A constant evolution... A better rationale and mentality.
When he said "I'm not here to fight", that is really deep considering he knew by meeting snake he would die. So he actually decided to meet his son knowing it would be the end.
He put down his gun like The Boss did in MGS3 and he criticized her for in Peace Walker, meaning he really did finally understand why The Boss did what she did.
@@barretworks He got a right to be angry at everything.All personnel around him only using him as a war tool;dependable yet can be disposed when the time come.He just saw his mentor being sacrificed as a scapegoat to cover the States ass and the guts to celebrate his "achievement" over despite it was one of their black ops.Even though it was The Boss wish to make her death happen that way,Big Boss felt betrayed and lose a part of him as soldier that day knowing sooner or later he would face a same situation as The Boss.Luckily,he got a solid excuse to depart from military and his country when Zero executed Les Enfants Terribles without his concern.
Mgs 1 story = make you awe Mgs 2 story = epic plot twist Mgs 3 story = perfect story Mgs 4 story = tying all loose ends from previous story by doing each of them justice
MGS V story = Why are we here? Just to suffer? It's a shame people ignore Peace Walker. While it and V aren't technically needed, I still found PW to be a nice addition.
Big Boss looks pretty much like my old father which has passed away, he used to watch me playing in the ps1 era. I miss him so much. So many memories...Rest in peace and eternity Boss
And they had beef before doing this bit and making amends thanks to this seeing the jpn version some of the lines are more the real gut talk than scripted... honestly it hits harder for that but alone but the final bit when BB tells snake he’s no longer weapon, or tool, or proxy and is now free man in English hits like truck
I took theatre in high school, and our final was to perform a monologue in front of our class. Pulling from plays dating from Shakespeare to Williams, the monologues we performed generally ranged from three minutes to eight minutes. And it’s why I so greatly appreciate monologues like this so much. That their writers can keep the audience entranced on one person talking for twenty or thirty minutes. The Snake Eater Epilogue, Briefing Tape: The Boss, Naked Son, and Free Churro are god tier monologues that display such phenomenal writing talent. It’s such a raw and in depth look at a person and philosophy to hear them talk for upwards of ten minutes. I’ll never get tired of listening to these, quoting them, and spending entire evenings listening to people talk.
@QUEENDOM I don’t know if I entirely agree, but I see your point. I think Big Boss repeats himself once or twice when talking about how the Patriot AIs evolved but I do think that it was necessary to elaborate. But my real problem is that I played this game with the context of twenty years of games, and it’s hard to separate myself from my emotional attachment to these games and my knowledge of the context. I’m biased, and it’s hard to see this without context because I’m so attached to the context.
He didn’t tho everything big boss did was to oppose the boss. He says at the end of peace walker that she gave up and accepted death and accepted being a pawn of the government and vowed to never do the same
Ya this shows that he actually now understands what the boss wanted this might not have been according to his original plan but his fight to honor her is complete
"the world will be better off without snakes..." "this is good... isn't it?" truly, one of the most memorable final words in video game history, and from a Father to his "son", nay a comrade in arms - respected soldier, and man nonetheless
One of the things I'm surprised nobody talks about is Zero. I mean: Solid, Liquid, Solidus, Shadow Moses Incident, the Patriots IA, Arsenal Gear, War Economy and therefore the PMCs, FOXDIE, SOP... almost everything that happens in the story is his doing. Even the events of Rising are a consequence of his actions. The man is the main villain, was the most powerful man in the planet and he had the whole world in his hands for decades... but when we finally see him, we see a senile old man that doesn't even know where he is and needs a machine to not pee himself. It's like Ozymandias' poem...
IMO This is when Jack really earned the title of Big Boss. He has always been a very *very* inspirational person. But this time he inspires his son to stop the fighting and to live in peace.
Up to this point, he never truly surpassed the Boss, since he didn't understand his purpose to the end. When he says: "The world only needs one snake... No, the world would actually be better without snakes", well this is the moment when he surpasses The Boss, really earning his title.
@@SimoneCalloni Yup. I also love the symbolism in this series. Like Venom Snake represents the embodiment of Big Boss’s demons while Solid Snake represents the man Big Boss aspires to be as well as the embodiment of The Boss’s will.
@@SimoneCalloni It was kind unfair for the world to dump the Boss's will on Jack and expect him to follow it to the letter. And the Boss herself isn't exactly free of faults either. In the end, he became his own person and chose his own ideals to follow whether they were good or bad.
My guys, I think Big Boss asked Solid about the taste of the cigarr, because the man just smoked it for him. Which makes this moment ever more heartwarming, since not only he left Solid with his main message to live and enjoy life, as far as his body allows him to remain on earth, but in his final moment he shares a smoke and calls back to Solid to reflect on the taste of it. The smallest thing in the gravity of the moment, to which he gravitates Solid's attention from all the nonsence that finally ended with Big Boss.
It's also symbolic of their impending mortality. He makes time for one last drag, then remarks to Snake that it's good. He's telling Snake not to let his rapidly advancing age stop him from enjoying the short retirement he's earned. He's telling him to go be something other than a soldier, for what time he has. That his life is something he should smoke while he's still got it.
Cigars stay lit because of the oxygen that are breathed into them, so he’s taking a puff to ensure that it stays lit so Big Boss can enjoy a last smoke
Kojima has always been a cinematic director, look how he made you watch 30mins of ONE scene and time just flew. And then we have that cinematic Death Stranding trailer too! Salute
Kojima is one beautiful son of a bitch... I feel bad for the future generations that won't know what it was like to play these games as they came and went. To feel the anger for Konami and to feel loss with MG:S. And to feel excitement for Death Stranding. I can't wait to see what Kojima has in store for us.
@@obidahasdia4095 He was never alone in the development of MGS..its just sad that people dickride kojima so hard when we are this close at death stranding and still know nothing. meh
_“Did Zero hate me? Or did he fear me?”_ Neither. He very much missed his friend, and most importantly, did everything he could to keep Big Boss safe, no matter where he was. It wasn’t until they both were in their final moments that they finally reconciled, but it was too late; Zero was a corpse at this point, and there was not enough time for Zero and *_Snake_* to speak with each other one last time. If only Zero had made the smart move not to reveal his location to Paz, he could’ve retired peacefully, and he probably would have reconnected with Big Boss in one way or another. But that’s my own personal take. You could agree or disagree.
@@michaelzhang9806 The closest is really Solid Snake. He went through suffering his whole life until the same forces that binded him in the end set him free. Those last few months he had were probably the best ones of his life. No regrets needed.
@@TheNapster153 Aside from losing Chico and her father, Amanda could count too since she achieved all of her objectives. Maybe even add Cecile too since she's probably the only one from Peace Walker who didn't suffer some horrific fate in GZ and PP.
the thing that makes this extra special is that in the Japanese voice over, the VAs for Big Boss and Solid Snake were both father and son and they were both estranged to each other, this scene was the first time they had spoken to each other in years in real life.
25:33 i want to really point out the emotion you rarely see from Solid Snake. His eyes showed humanity in that moment along with acceptance of his Destiny and his remaining time left on earth. He finally made peace with his father and former enemy. This part speaks to me and makes me tear up each time this scene plays. "There is no such thing as an absolute enemy."- The Boss
The way how Snake and Big boss calmly accepted the fact that Big boss was going away for good while Snake was holding his tears and trying to stay strong while seeing his father and last family member dying after making peace with him after long years and many battles is literally the most dramatic scene I’ve ever watched, you can’t script that, I was glad that things went well with Solid Snake at the end though, with living the rest of his life in peace.
Snake already suffered so much with PTSD of killing Big Boss. When he killed Venom, he vowed to never use Cqc again out of remembering his mentor, when he killed Big Boss in MG2, he escaped and became an alcoholic. He never tried connecting with anyone until Meryl which failed along the way then comes Otacon who becomes his true bro. He is still suffering from his ptsd as shown when he always deploys himself with his bandana, the symbol of the Snakes passed down to him by Big Boss.
*"This is good... Isn't it?"* Could it be referring to the cigar? The life after war? The conclusion of a long running franchise? (Solid Snake) For me, its all of them. And yes, it is good.
I always interpreted it as John saying that just chilling having a moment of peace and a cigar with his son is nice. For their entire lives, these 2 men have known only conflict, with whoever they were sent against, then against each other.
@@theoz-zone7470 lol. Imagine david hayter voicing mg5 snake. Its awful. Doesnt fit the matured appearance of big boss compared to keifer. Like fuck it. Doesmt quite match the atmosphere. Accept it gays. Its kojimas and it has it ups and downs. Idiots
@followerofyah Overall I would have to say Metal Gear Solid 3. It has the best balance of story, game design, controls, you name it. I have grown to really appreciate how relevant the story of 2 is though in today's society. Peace Walker is honestly a very tight 2nd though against 1, just because it was developed as a moblie game, and had so many extras and replayability. So 3, PW, followed by MGS would be the order. Had I played the true MG 1 and played MG 2, those might be in the running. How about you?
The part where Big Boss says, "Under certain conditions, someone can be made to play a specific role," Kojima low-key foreshadowed Venom Snake without us knowing about it.
He's also saying that about himself, as MGS3 was essentially him being manipulated into doing multiple things he didn't understand, under the guise of loyalty and being a good soldier
It’s my head canon that when Big Boss passes away, he is reunited with Zero and that he learns that Zero never meant for any of the things in Ground Zero and beyond. Then the two of them let go of all the bad blood and hatred and forgive each other, reuniting with Para-Medic, Sigint, Eva, Ocelot and The Boss. (Other characters like Miller, Venom and Paz will get their own moment with Big Boss)
Zero had nothing to do with the events of ground zeroes and V. It was purely Skullface's doing since he went rouge form Cipher with his XOF squad and wanted to get Zero's attention by killing the one man Zero was actually fond of. If Zero had his sights at Big Boss he would never let him run Foxhound later on. Or to be alive at all in that matter. Zero along with Ocelot actually helped the real Big Boss with his cover identity and Venom double in the events of V.
@@d3fyne but because Big Boss was put into a coma and Zero being hospitalised by Skullface’s parasites, Big Boss never learnt the truth. To him he had just woken up from a coma and Zero had disappeared completely without a trace.
I think those are the best last word's anyone can have, "This is good. Isn't it?" It shows that your life ended on a good note and that you didn't die alone.
"Let it go" with "It's time for you to put aside the gun and live" together have helped me a lot with many things. From getting away from toxic people, to worrying about the past, I remember these quotes to help myself not stay depressed/anxious over a certain situation. It's a fucking video game but hey, whatever works.
There’s strength in the ability to let things go. Part of us wants so badly an explanation or resolution for fucked up things in the past that have happened to us. You can either struggle all your life to find an answer, or lay it to rest. It only exists in your memories
@Pantelis Tzimas I feel you brother.i still have the hate but I try to get rid of it cos I know it will destroy me in the end if I don't do that.thanks for the wise words brother!
There’s wisdom to find in lots of media, be it books, movies, or videogames. The Metal Gear series even shaped me a bit growing up here and there. I’ll always be grateful for MGS3 because that game came out at just the right time in my life and it helped me through some shitty and dark moments.
@Pantelis Tzimas you sounds like an incel, idk what you went through in life but having a strong hate or pity for “modern western women” in general is fucking stupid
Years later, and he still knows the basics of CQC. Meanwhile, Solidus: *is missing eye on the completely opposite side* "So this is Big Boss, right?" "Yeah, probably."
Note at the start. Big Boss has the same gun that the Boss from MSG3 was using when you fought her. And if you look on the background you see white flowers just like the ones during your fight with Boss in MSG3.
That Gun Was Specially Made For The Boss and That Gun Has Over a 100 Rounds In It and Basically The Boss Used a Mini Machine Gun as a *SIDEARM.* A Frickin *SIDEARM!* God...She was an Absolute Badass💯
@HallucinogenicMac MGS was never about realism, the info page for the Patriot in MGS3 even says it has unlimited ammo because its magazine has the shape of the unlimited sign. If you call Sigint about it, he tells you that its a modified M16 with a short barrel. Sigint will be very surprised that Boss could handle the kick in full auto with a single arm.
@HallucinogenicMac Yes, i didnt meant MGS was totally unrealistic. Thats just Kojimas charm, its realistic, but not to the degree of a wannabe Call Of Duty War Simulation. Its just enough unrealistic nonsense that its amazing. As far as i remember, Kojima had a military adviser and soldiers to help with the accuracy of gun facts, movement, tactics etc
@HallucinogenicMac He had, after every MGS you can see it in the credits. Funnily enough, if you google ''MGS Military adviser'' you get this: ''Tomoaki Iishiba Konami's military technical advisor has been incarcerated for selling military weapons to Japan. Metal Gear Solid 4 military consultant Tomoaki Iishiba is under investigation for selling night-vision firearm scopes from America to conspirators in Japan.''
This game has aged extremely well, just look at all the small details like the cigar moving in his lips while he talks, the wind rustling his coat collar, etc.
@@MrFunkhauser I finally bought myself a ps3 and just played it for my first time aftter waiting like 10 years and can say it feels like a game of this generation.
So according to Big Boss, Ocelot was never possessed by Liquid’s right arm, he just used hypnotic suggestion to make himself think he was possessed. That actually makes more sense than being possessed by Liquid’s arm tbh
@@HistoryandReviews The nanomachines may have something to do with his voice changing up like that, augmenting his vocal cords to make him sound completely different. At least, that's what I think.
He was possessed in 2 (implied to be due to inheriting some of The Sorrow's power). But because of how much trouble it was, he cut his arm off, and then replaced it with an identical prosthetic.
When Big Boss made his final salute before the grave of his fallen mentor, I cried on the inside. This video shows why Metal Gear Solid is one of the greatest stories ever told in gaming history!
I'm a newcomer to the Metal Gear franchise. I played all the games in the Legacy Collection in chronological order, ending with this game. It truly felt like a journey, and I'd willingly go through all of it again. What a well rounded series of games. A lot of people complain about how long this cutscene is and how Big Boss drones on and on about the loose ends, but I found this to be perfect for the end of my Metal Gear Saga blind playthrough. A very long cutscene with the two main protagonists, reinforcing the theme of choosing life and living it to the fullest, and just some really good voice acting. Metal Gear couldn't have ended any better. Two old guys talking in a cemetery for 30 minutes feels so rewarding and entertaining after going through this journey.
It gives the player a time to relax, think about what’s happening, and possibly cry. Seeing my hero, Big Boss, weak from all the fighting telling his son that he loves him was heartbreaking. Seeing an old hero die in a way like that was sad to see but Big Boss wanted peace no more war and ponds in some game, only for those to live life there way. Seeing my hero as a normal man weak was a great way to show humanity in his character but really heartbreaking just as well. I will always tell anyone that plays MGS for the first time to leave the 4th game last no matter what. It’s the end of an era and should always be played last bc it’s the end of the story.
And just to say: Big Boss isn't the villain, ok? Don't believe in anyone who told this. And now you can play Portable Ops and the MGSV, that has Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain.
@@ariochlenneth5945 In MG2 he harbors child soldiers (also seen in Peace Walker and Phantom Pain) and tells Snake to his face that he'd willingly let those children go out into war and die because he sees lives as expendable. Also Zanzibar Land is a nation of his which harbors nukes, which is a bad thing
It's been almost 15 years. And yet, everytime he gives his final salute to The Boss, I just can;t help but break down and cry. The Boss and BB really were something else. Once in a lifetime characters.
Snake and Boss sound different because Boss actually had the years for his voice to develop where as snake's body aged rapidly but his voice hadn't been used enough to become that
@@rorisang8602 Big Boss used his vocal cords for much longer than Solid, your voice does change with the years but it has nothing to do with age in this case.
Really does suck that Snake’s cloning mixed with the nanomachines fucked him up, had he been allowed to live a life to be his gene-father’s age, then I think he would’ve truly been satisfied.
@@priestofronaldalt He almost was, his spirit was supposed to inhabit a wooden sword that would comment on Raiden's exceptional combat and give him pointers. It's still in the Japanese version of the game, but not in the international release.
@@Big-BossX True but John was a hero of rdr1 while Arthur seemed like a ruthless gangster with no values in the beginning. He slowly turns into a hero as his idol Dutch turns into a villain, and that execution was perfect imo though I don't think the whole game was a masterpiece particularly
That is also tragic, too. Zero's story may be not as tragic as The Boss' or others, but still helluva tragic nonetheless. The man himself misinterpreted The Boss' will and contributed in sending the world to hell, but in truth he never wanted it to be that way, as the AI's he had created to control the world basically malfunctioned. And he also tried to restore his friendship with Big Boss, going by the events in MGSV. It's unfortunate that Big Boss will never know because he was the one comatose at the time while Zero was fully conscious. So instead of rekindling their friendship and going out in peace with him, in the end Big Boss has to euthanize Zero out of pity but probably saw him as more of a villain than a hero in his last moments.
After playing all of the metal gear games in order and then beating metal gear 4 and watching the final scene of a 32 year franchise come to a end was seriously one of the most beautiful things anyone could do. I felt like crying when i saw this. One of the greatest scenes in video game history
You can also play Metal Gear Rising, which depicts a Post-Snake world and takes place 4 years after MGS4. It essentially goes through the rest of Raidens story and has him essentially defending Snakes legacy by killing a warmonger. Its very different to the rest of the games but it has a nice send off to the saga.
He realized this was the way to go after so many years of struggle. It all went full circle: the moment he bacame Big Boss by facing and defeating The Boss and the moment he decided to stop being Big Boss and instead regaining himself as a human being. Masterful.
I still love that despite the fact Big Boss is dying, he still has the energy to give Snake an entire ass video essay explaining everything in Metal Gear.

Then, after six months of doing all that, he died peacefully in his sleep. Not as a Snake the Soldier, but as David the man.

What about ocelote giving kiss to solid snake?
Ocelot loved Big Boss. A love the is beyond the love for a rival, beyond a spouse, beyond a brother, beyond a father, beyond a son, Ocelot Loved his Willpower, his drive, his values, his role, his mission, His vision.. It is a a love beyond the flesh. A love not of a person but of principle. Ocelot loved Big Boss's very SPIRIT and how he fought to manifest it.. Big boss's vision was a direct representation of his soul, And in such.. Big Boss was Ocelots "soul mate". He saw that very spirit in Snake. Thus The kiss.
That very kiss, is the expressed love one shows for not an individual, but a belief system. That kiss was a form of communal worship of the vision Big Boss had, and the spirit that manifested it. again.. seeing that spirit in Solid Snake.
Ocelot Idolized Big Boss. That idol being the representation of the heaven they both sought.
Thus Ocelot was always pulling the strings making sure Big Boss's way was clear to bring about their heaven.
A Guardian angel of sorts.
Imagine having to inherit the foul demon Liquid Snake that could only spit upon Big Bosses very image...

For those who dont get, this is all the snakes:
Naked Snake/Big Boss - He is the the one with the eye patch in this video. He is the main protagonist of MGS3, MGSPW, MGSGZ, and the villain of MG2. He is the legendary soldier, he is basically the captain of america of MG universe. Everyone love him and idolize him.
Solid Snake - He is the protagonist of MG1, MG2, MGS1, MGS4, and he is one of the protagonist in MGS2.
The first time they cloned Big Boss, twins were born, one of them is Solid Snake. He is 40 years old in this video, he looks old because his body entered a state of accelerated aging due to intentional genetic changes made during the cloning process. They fear that the clones maybe one day betray the USA, so they make this as security measure. Solid has less than half a year of life after this scene.
Liquid Snake - he is the main villain in MGS1. Twin brother of Solid. He is Eli in MGS5. He died in MGS1.
Solidus Snake - he was the third clone made, but from a differenty mother. He is the main villain in MGS2. The Patriots made Solidus as the perfect clone. He is the youngest of the clones, but he look just like Big boss from this video. The Patriot make him like this so the common people would like him, because he look just like Big Boss. He was the President of the USA in the events of MGS1. He died in the end of MGS2. The body that everyone believe that was Big boss in MGS4 act 3 is actually the body of Solidus.
Venom Snake - He is the protagonist of MGS5. He was one of the best soldier from Big boss, and he was a medic. When the helicópter crash in the end of MGSGZ, they took him and zero planned and provided funds to have the medic molded into a mirror image of Big Boss, both mentally and physically. Induced hypnagogia imbued the medic with Big Boss' mind, and plastic surgery was enacted to give him Big Boss' face. When he awoke, the medic would believe he was Big Boss.
He died in MG1 by the hands of Solid Snake.

What breaks my little heart is that Boss knows that Snake is a clone of him, but he still called him "son" ;^;
What's even better is that in MGSV he refers to the clones from Les Enfants Terribles saying, "They're no sons of mine; they're much sicker than that". I think that really shows his progression from Naked Snake in Operation: Snake Eater, to Big Boss finding out about his sons cloned without consent, forming various Outer Heavens all in the name of the Boss' will, to Big Boss telling his only remaining clone to not make the same errors he made and live a life worth living, like a father to his son. It took him a while, but he learnt his lesson and passed it on to Solid, despite despising even the idea of his clones 30 years before.

I wanted to cry so much but i have no tears to shed anymore
I cried and I just played Metal Gear Rising: REVENGEANCE. But the lore of the games is really interesting.
I forgot how human the ending of this was.
There was no true singular big bad in the end - just the cumulative decisions of a lot of powerful people being swept away beyond their control in a direction that was more coincidence than intended consequence.
It was a powerful indictment of systems that allow war to be profitable because whatever intentions that led the war economies to self-propagate are inevitably swept away by the scale of the power (that wants to persist and therefore grow) now invested in perpetual war economies. Outer haven was designed to end wars, the patriots were designed to use the philosophers’ profits to create a world where war wasn’t necessary, etc
The true evil in the world is not bad people, but the system that makes it. Even if the system itself is completely destroyed, a new one will take its place to maintain order. The effect of that new system is what we see in Metal Gear Revengeance.

So many people misinterpreted the Boss’ will after she died, I like how Solid Snake became her true successor without ever having met her
Or realizing he's doing her will.
It's almost as if good people are led by principles they don't even need to be taught or something...
Things might wouldn't gone so chaotic had the Boss just thought of leaving behind a written will of some sort XD. Or at least some message...who knows, to EVA perhaps?
Of course, that's what makes the whole story interesting, and perhaps she might not have the chance to do so in the first place. But just think about it, her being vague is what caused this mess to blow up.
@@renseiryuu If you think about it, The Boss was more than clear in her actions and words.
At the beginning of the mission she makes his last speech to John, explaining that loyalty is the most important thing, "Do you want to live like a soldier or like a man with a gun?" Patriotism, no matter who your president is or whether your country is doing it wrong or not, you must do what your country asks of you.
She wanted balance in the world, and above all respect for other people's ideas, and not just her own.
The Boss had accepted his fate, to sacrifice himself to save his country (and the world too) while trying to change it, or oppose "Times" would only fuel more wars and divisions, exactly what Big Boss and Zero did.
Big Boss" She betrayed me, instead of continuing to fight she surrendered to her destiny, I will instead fight our 'Times' to make it the way I want"
Zero "The boss wanted a united world, so I will try to dominate it and impose my idea on others"...
Big boss himself said the right thing in his last moment.
"We're just a bunch of old fools who ruined the world"
P.s Yes, Eva leave a message to Big Boss, but he still don't get It...
@@Lansone31 I dunno, it still doesn't feel clear to me even now XD. Perhaps I'm just a dum dum.
If anything, those words just feel like her way of saying "be yourself". And then, Big boss and Zero deciphered the "be yourself" with their own interpretation. I didn't catch the part where "things must be balanced" or "leave things as it is".
@@renseiryuu No you're not😂, it's just very complicated to follow the whole story, but putting all the pieces together can be easier to understand.
(Also add the fact that English is not my mother tongue😂)
I'll give you a simple example, when she was entrusted with her mission, which is to pretend to "Defect", she certainly could have opposed it.
She was a hero, daughter of one of the "philosophers" by the way, she could have tried a golpe to keep her position and her respect as a soldier.
What would this bring? Internal wars in the US and probably chaos in the world at a political level, whoever did not agree with The Boss idea would have declared war, and even if she had won, and imposed her good ideas on the world, would all the dead and destruction be justified?
(Basically the same scenario as the Zero/BB war)
The boss didn't want this, precisely because she respected the ideas of others, she also respected the decision of his superiors to sacrifice herself, because it was probably the best thing to do to avoid a total war between the USA and the USSR.
"Do you want to be a soldier? Don't fight only for your ideals and selfishness. Fight for the best choice for the whole world"
Big Boss instead chose to fight only for himself and his men, not caring about the rest, so he became just
"a man with a gun".
Or at least, this Is what i think.
“The world would be better off without snakes.”
Thats the one that breaks me.
Sadly in the end, Big Boss predicted MG's downfall...

"Did Zero hate me, or did he fear me?"
It's sad when you find out that Zero actually just missed him in MGSV
Yeah it was neither. In some ways 5 really was a sequel in how it answered that question
Even sadder when it's revealed that he did everything in his power to save Big Boss from XOF, even when he's slowly becoming a vegetable.
V deserves way more credit tbh
@@shwibbleglibble7197 what how he is just a man-child who loves balloons and harmless guns
@@TheMessiahOfThe99Percent well I've heard that he did somewhat fight for more peace
"Did he really hate me...or did he fear me?" And them from MGS5, we learned the fact that Zero missed him. Shame that Big boss never learned that fact
He fear him
Zero admired and respected Big Boss, hell everyone from the Patriots loved Big Boss, but Zero and those that fell in with him were too determined to see the Boss’ Will come to fruition rather than compromising with the man. Like a parent that thinks they know better than a child, Zero was blinded just like everyone else in the series...
In the end SS was the true inheritor of the Boss' will
He did all three. He hated him for veering off his interpretation of the Boss’s will. Feared him for what he’d do if his interpretation came into direct conflict with his. Missed him for the friend that was once on his side - showing how impacted and shattered friendships can be if things are not handled correctly, succinctly and willing to put ego aside for the greater good.
Until at least somewhere around 1984, just before he became what he is here, zero loved and missed big boss
“This is good, isn’t it?”
One of the greatest ending lines ever.
Simple but meaningful, totally agree.
Such a monumental doubt. Big Boss was always sure. Sure enough to cast the world into chaos; to raise armies over his idea of liberty. I wonder if that doubt was the final piece needed for him to find faith. Faith in a world without snakes. Without men like him. At least he found peace. In the end.
Fucks me up every time

Big Boss: NOT NOW MILLER.
@@qqq386 hahaha fuck no. Big Boss betrayed Kaz. Big Boss is the asshole and this scene shows him realizing that.
Kaz literally said Big Boss can go to hell, which he was right about.
The fact that Ocelot is so good at covert ops that he can convince himself hes a completely different person still blows my mind until this day. It could be possible that none of us have ever seen the real ocelot.
So Ocelot best boi confirm?
Mgs5 is probably the closest thing to his actual self.
@@AxisChurchDevotee now that you think about it, it probably is.
I was about to say MGS1 and 3, but then I realized, in 3 he's working for CIA under cover of a Russian soldier and an Ocelot unit member. And in 1 he's secretly working for the president, and keeping a lot of information from Liquid. I still think we do see most of real Ocelot's character in 1, he's just keeping stuff to himself.
MGSV is the closest we see, primarily because Ocelots true loyalty was to his mother (The Boss), and to Big Boss after her death. His loyalty to Big Boss and his desire to end the Patriots was his focus throughout the entire series. The bit of honesty you get from him in MGS4 is when he asks Snake: "Stop you? Now why would I want to do that?" He wanted snake to succeed, MGS4 his actual intent was to seize, reveal, and destroy the patriots. Just as Big Boss ultimately wanted.
Fun fact :
the grave that snake visiting is grave of Big Boss. the tomb stone said...
""A hero forever loyal to the flames of war rests in Outer Heaven 193X-1999""
but as the lore update in MGSV. the grave now is actually Venom's grave. since he is the "Big Boss" who died in outer heaven.
Not really. Venom died during Operation Intrude N313 in 1995, not 1999. 1999 Was the date that the real Big Boss “died” so it is a grave to the real Big Boss.
Venom died during Outer Heaven Incident and years later Big Boss "died" during Zanzibar Land incident
Venom deserved better.
Big Boss was technically killed twice in MG1 and MG2. The first "Big Boss" in MG1 was Venom, and he really did die. He wasn't put into nanomachine stasis or some crap like that. He was really dead. The "Big Boss" in MG2 was the REAL Big Boss, and he didn't really die. He was put into a coma via nanotechnology and only woke up after the Patriots were taken down in MGS4.
Considering Big Boss spills the beans on practically everything in this scene, it kinda doesn't make sense to not tell him about Venom at this point. Solid Snake would die soon after this anyway and take it to the grave with him. I know V is a ret con and all, but it doesn't completely fit into the greater story. Seemed like it would have been perfect to mention it when he's talking about Ocelot being Liquids Doppelganger "and btw Snake, i had a Doppelganger too".
Man is too talkative to die.
He's been dying for 20 minutes and was able to stand up on his own.
Attention: Looks like this comment thread is a wee bit famous. Congratulations to all of you who also enjoy MGS.
To be honest he did fight death himself as boss fight in mgs3 and not to mention all the shit in peace walker he did single handily
He is that badass.

Ocelot hid his true identity for a long time.
Big Boss stood up as he was dying.

What did you want him to say? Anything other than that answer would've been a lie. He said what every good father should say to a stupid son who's afraid of the inevitability of death.
Better to tell the truth than lie to him.

When Snake lights boss's cigar, I shed tears. For the first time, he finds respect for his estranged father, who was once his enemy. That moment righ t there makes this whole scene for me

@Týr His clone that looks nothing like him. Remember Big Boss looks like Solidus not Solid
Big Boss trained Solid Snake for years in FOXHOUND and fought in Zanzibarland, after Solid Snake also killed Punished Snake in Outer Heaven.
I find it sad that Big Boss never realised what The Boss's will actually was until the very end of his life.
Not a world where soldiers are always needed, but instead a world where they arent needed to be created in the first place.

It's not that he didn't realize it, he became angry at the system for everything they did to the Boss and to him. He saw so much shit in his lifetime he just went on a personal vendetta to stick it to the system. Big Boss is a tragic hero, it's not that he didn't realize, he knew all along and tried to do good and achieve Boss's vision. But when the system betrays him, Big Boss stops playing by the rules.

@@TruetoCaesar nope, Ishmael _was_ Naked Snake, on the first mission, Ocelot got him out of the crashed car first and send him on his way, then he woke up Venom later.
I always say that Solid Snake is the embodiment of The Boss’s will. The beautiful thing about this is that he never knew about her until the end of MGS4. Big Boss admitted at the end that after he killed The Boss he was a broken man and because of this he misinterpreted The Boss’s will by being angry and disappointed by the world’s governments view of soldiers being tools. Solid Snake knew about this and knew that it is unfair for soldiers, but he accept it. Snake always knew that soldiers will be forever tools of war, this is the reality. Knowing this, Snake was always trying to the right thing for the world to have a better future, not to change it. Big Boss on the contrary, was trying to do things his own way no matter the cost to change the world for a “better” future and look how he ended up.
The Boss knew she was a tool during Operation Snake Eater. Was it fair? No. Was this the right thing to do to save or make the world better? Yes. Even if she will be remembered as the villain to the world, in her eyes and beliefs she did the right thing to prevent a Nuclear War, and achieved it. She couldn’t change the Cold War, but did the right thing to have a better future and the Cold War follow its course in history like nothing ever happened. She was not a hero, never was, never will be.
The Patriots were the total opposite of what The Boss believe. The Patriots never respect the world as it is, this is why they wanted total control and this is why Solid Snake was trying his best to defeat them and never wanted nothing in return unlike his father and brothers.
Big Boss - I will fight Cipher because I WANT to change the world for MY soldiers.
Liquid - I will fight The Patriots because I WANT my future that was denied from me before birth.
Solidus - I will fight The Patriots because I WANT to be remembered.
Snake - I must fight The Patriots because it is my duty to protect what I believe in and others, even if it kills me. I’m no hero, never was, never will be.
Snake knew to let the world to be as it is, doesn’t mean you won’t do nothing, but try to do the right and best thing as a soldier. Have your own morals, beliefs, honor and humility and follow it because they’re your own, not the government or organizations. Trying not to be the hero of the world. You may be a hero to the public but in reality you are just a tool. This is something that Liquid, Solidus and Big Boos never understood. They wanted to be the saviors of the world and change it. Don’t try to change the world. Respect the world and others, the world will be in constant change by itself by the Times and it will always be that way.
War will continue on forever but there will be a time that you as an individual need peace. You already fought your battles, follow your orders, follow your beliefs and finished the mission. Now is time to live life not as a soldier, not as a snake, but as a man.
bro... that's beautiful
Amazingly written. ❤
Heh.. SOmeone perfectly caught on the message
''Dont try to change the World(Its cocky and selfish on the world and the people and the things on it and you shouldn't worry about changing it it will change itself better than with your intrusion)
Fight for what you believe in: your morals, beliefs, honor and dignity use humility to not trample on other people morals and stuff..
War is never gonna end, if you defeat one madman its just a matter of time till another take his place.
You should focus on passing your beliefs, morals and stuff to the other generations so they can too evolve and survive on new eras and pass on effectively to their descendants. A constant evolution... A better rationale and mentality.
That was deep
Should probably refer to snake as solid since big boss is referred to as just snake sometimes
When he said "I'm not here to fight", that is really deep considering he knew by meeting snake he would die. So he actually decided to meet his son knowing it would be the end.
In this universe everyone gives speeches, he's compelled to
He put down his gun like The Boss did in MGS3 and he criticized her for in Peace Walker, meaning he really did finally understand why The Boss did what she did.
@@barretworks He got a right to be angry at everything.All personnel around him only using him as a war tool;dependable yet can be disposed when the time come.He just saw his mentor being sacrificed as a scapegoat to cover the States ass and the guts to celebrate his "achievement" over despite it was one of their black ops.Even though it was The Boss wish to make her death happen that way,Big Boss felt betrayed and lose a part of him as soldier that day knowing sooner or later he would face a same situation as The Boss.Luckily,he got a solid excuse to depart from military and his country when Zero executed Les Enfants Terribles without his concern.

I took theatre in high school, and our final was to perform a monologue in front of our class. Pulling from plays dating from Shakespeare to Williams, the monologues we performed generally ranged from three minutes to eight minutes.
And it’s why I so greatly appreciate monologues like this so much. That their writers can keep the audience entranced on one person talking for twenty or thirty minutes.
The Snake Eater Epilogue, Briefing Tape: The Boss, Naked Son, and Free Churro are god tier monologues that display such phenomenal writing talent. It’s such a raw and in depth look at a person and philosophy to hear them talk for upwards of ten minutes. I’ll never get tired of listening to these, quoting them, and spending entire evenings listening to people talk.
@QUEENDOM I don’t know if I entirely agree, but I see your point. I think Big Boss repeats himself once or twice when talking about how the Patriot AIs evolved but I do think that it was necessary to elaborate.
But my real problem is that I played this game with the context of twenty years of games, and it’s hard to separate myself from my emotional attachment to these games and my knowledge of the context. I’m biased, and it’s hard to see this without context because I’m so attached to the context.
That’s something I’ve yearned to do- to voice in a performance I dreamed of..
I found this monologue to be excruciatingly tedious tbh, the heaving and moaning is hard to listen to for 20+ minutes

It breaks my heart how he salutes her grave. The look in his face and the whole context of his life and actions scream "I did it all for you."

And totally misunderstood her, bet the boss is completely disappointed.

IMO This is when Jack really earned the title of Big Boss. He has always been a very *very* inspirational person. But this time he inspires his son to stop the fighting and to live in peace.
Up to this point, he never truly surpassed the Boss, since he didn't understand his purpose to the end. When he says: "The world only needs one snake... No, the world would actually be better without snakes", well this is the moment when he surpasses The Boss, really earning his title.
@@SimoneCalloni Yup. I also love the symbolism in this series. Like Venom Snake represents the embodiment of Big Boss’s demons while Solid Snake represents the man Big Boss aspires to be as well as the embodiment of The Boss’s will.
@@alexdeghost2729 I totally agree.
@@SimoneCalloni omg u agree that Venom became a deluded lunatic? :D
@@SimoneCalloni It was kind unfair for the world to dump the Boss's will on Jack and expect him to follow it to the letter. And the Boss herself isn't exactly free of faults either. In the end, he became his own person and chose his own ideals to follow whether they were good or bad.
My guys, I think Big Boss asked Solid about the taste of the cigarr, because the man just smoked it for him. Which makes this moment ever more heartwarming, since not only he left Solid with his main message to live and enjoy life, as far as his body allows him to remain on earth, but in his final moment he shares a smoke and calls back to Solid to reflect on the taste of it. The smallest thing in the gravity of the moment, to which he gravitates Solid's attention from all the nonsence that finally ended with Big Boss.
It's also symbolic of their impending mortality. He makes time for one last drag, then remarks to Snake that it's good. He's telling Snake not to let his rapidly advancing age stop him from enjoying the short retirement he's earned. He's telling him to go be something other than a soldier, for what time he has.

Cigars stay lit because of the oxygen that are breathed into them, so he’s taking a puff to ensure that it stays lit so Big Boss can enjoy a last smoke
Kojima has always been a cinematic director, look how he made you watch 30mins of ONE scene and time just flew. And then we have that cinematic Death Stranding trailer too! Salute
Kojima is one beautiful son of a bitch... I feel bad for the future generations that won't know what it was like to play these games as they came and went. To feel the anger for Konami and to feel loss with MG:S. And to feel excitement for Death Stranding. I can't wait to see what Kojima has in store for us.

_“Did Zero hate me? Or did he fear me?”_
Neither. He very much missed his friend, and most importantly, did everything he could to keep Big Boss safe, no matter where he was. It wasn’t until they both were in their final moments that they finally reconciled, but it was too late; Zero was a corpse at this point, and there was not enough time for Zero and *_Snake_* to speak with each other one last time. If only Zero had made the smart move not to reveal his location to Paz, he could’ve retired peacefully, and he probably would have reconnected with Big Boss in one way or another. But that’s my own personal take. You could agree or disagree.
I feel kinda bad for selling my Xbox One, never listened to all the tapes. But had enough tapes to know that Zero cared for Big Boss.
He was already sick when he assigned Paz, so it was kind of inevitable.
If you think about it, nobody in Metal Gear gets a “good” ending. They all have multiple bad things happen to them, especially losing family members.
@@michaelzhang9806 The closest is really Solid Snake. He went through suffering his whole life until the same forces that binded him in the end set him free. Those last few months he had were probably the best ones of his life. No regrets needed.
@@TheNapster153 Aside from losing Chico and her father, Amanda could count too since she achieved all of her objectives. Maybe even add Cecile too since she's probably the only one from Peace Walker who didn't suffer some horrific fate in GZ and PP.
the thing that makes this extra special is that in the Japanese voice over, the VAs for Big Boss and Solid Snake were both father and son and they were both estranged to each other, this scene was the first time they had spoken to each other in years in real life.
Shut up we all know
Wow
And to add salt to the wound, the father died not long after this cutscene made. But in better terms since this moment reconcilie together.
If video games had an Oscar category, this scene alone would have won.

@General Dritz nah fam witcher won goty
25:33 i want to really point out the emotion you rarely see from Solid Snake. His eyes showed humanity in that moment along with acceptance of his Destiny and his remaining time left on earth. He finally made peace with his father and former enemy. This part speaks to me and makes me tear up each time this scene plays. "There is no such thing as an absolute enemy."- The Boss
The way how Snake and Big boss calmly accepted the fact that Big boss was going away for good while Snake was holding his tears and trying to stay strong while seeing his father and last family member dying after making peace with him after long years and many battles is literally the most dramatic scene I’ve ever watched, you can’t script that, I was glad that things went well with Solid Snake at the end though, with living the rest of his life in peace.
Snake already suffered so much with PTSD of killing Big Boss. When he killed Venom, he vowed to never use Cqc again out of remembering his mentor, when he killed Big Boss in MG2, he escaped and became an alcoholic. He never tried connecting with anyone until Meryl which failed along the way then comes Otacon who becomes his true bro. He is still suffering from his ptsd as shown when he always deploys himself with his bandana, the symbol of the Snakes passed down to him by Big Boss.
*"This is good... Isn't it?"*
Could it be referring to the cigar? The life after war? The conclusion of a long running franchise? (Solid Snake)
For me, its all of them. And yes, it is good.
I always interpreted it as John saying that just chilling having a moment of peace and a cigar with his son is nice.
For their entire lives, these 2 men have known only conflict, with whoever they were sent against, then against each other.
This really is the last MGS in the series right here.
This franchise had it's ups & downs but it was altogether legendary. It's been an honor Big Boss, Godspeed.
@Pure Fun Replacing David Hayter with Keifer Southerland is one down
@Pure Fun U got a point but in my humble opinion, I saw it as a down at the time but perhaps ur right it's just one bad choice.
@@theoz-zone7470 lol. Imagine david hayter voicing mg5 snake. Its awful. Doesnt fit the matured appearance of big boss compared to keifer. Like fuck it. Doesmt quite match the atmosphere. Accept it gays. Its kojimas and it has it ups and downs. Idiots
more the whole seris is trash
Black dolophin your spelling is trash
A scene to surpass metal gear
to surpass metal gear five, that's for sure....
It went on for way too long.
Not for the end of the game that was intended to be the last of the franchise.
@followerofyah Overall I would have to say Metal Gear Solid 3. It has the best balance of story, game design, controls, you name it. I have grown to really appreciate how relevant the story of 2 is though in today's society. Peace Walker is honestly a very tight 2nd though against 1, just because it was developed as a moblie game, and had so many extras and replayability. So 3, PW, followed by MGS would be the order. Had I played the true MG 1 and played MG 2, those might be in the running. How about you?
Mgs1 is legendary
MGS 4 was way ahead of it's time.
Literally
It still is.
It still looks like it came out yesterday lmao u could tell someone this is a ps4 game and they would believe it
Every MGS game was.
@@Androidbrotherhood1 agreed
The part where Big Boss says, "Under certain conditions, someone can be made to play a specific role," Kojima low-key foreshadowed Venom Snake without us knowing about it.
That is the plot of metal gear solid 2, though. The big shell incident was manufactured to turn Raiden into another Solid Snake.
"Cats like to play as snakes" references Ocelot (a cat) becoming Liquid Snake
‘You beat me twice before’ well actually…..
He's also saying that about himself, as MGS3 was essentially him being manipulated into doing multiple things he didn't understand, under the guise of loyalty and being a good soldier
MGSV wasn't even planned at that point.
It’s my head canon that when Big Boss passes away, he is reunited with Zero and that he learns that Zero never meant for any of the things in Ground Zero and beyond. Then the two of them let go of all the bad blood and hatred and forgive each other, reuniting with Para-Medic, Sigint, Eva, Ocelot and The Boss. (Other characters like Miller, Venom and Paz will get their own moment with Big Boss)
We can but hope. Otherwise he can never be fully free of the meme that made him into a soldier and a weapon... that began replicating.
It’s up to you now Raiden. You must over Snake’s place.
Zero had nothing to do with the events of ground zeroes and V. It was purely Skullface's doing since he went rouge form Cipher with his XOF squad and wanted to get Zero's attention by killing the one man Zero was actually fond of.
If Zero had his sights at Big Boss he would never let him run Foxhound later on. Or to be alive at all in that matter.
Zero along with Ocelot actually helped the real Big Boss with his cover identity and Venom double in the events of V.
@@d3fyne but Big Boss didn’t know that. He stated to Solid Snake at the end of MGS4. “Did Zero really hate me? Or... Did he fear me?”
@@d3fyne but because Big Boss was put into a coma and Zero being hospitalised by Skullface’s parasites, Big Boss never learnt the truth. To him he had just woken up from a coma and Zero had disappeared completely without a trace.
I think those are the best last word's anyone can have, "This is good. Isn't it?" It shows that your life ended on a good note and that you didn't die alone.
I thought you died alone
A long, long time ago
We never lost control
You're face to face

"Let it go" with "It's time for you to put aside the gun and live" together have helped me a lot with many things. From getting away from toxic people, to worrying about the past, I remember these quotes to help myself not stay depressed/anxious over a certain situation.
It's a fucking video game but hey, whatever works.
There’s strength in the ability to let things go. Part of us wants so badly an explanation or resolution for fucked up things in the past that have happened to us. You can either struggle all your life to find an answer, or lay it to rest. It only exists in your memories
It's art too.
It's like saying a painting is just a fucking image made with ink.
@Pantelis Tzimas I feel you brother.i still have the hate but I try to get rid of it cos I know it will destroy me in the end if I don't do that.thanks for the wise words brother!
There’s wisdom to find in lots of media, be it books, movies, or videogames. The Metal Gear series even shaped me a bit growing up here and there. I’ll always be grateful for MGS3 because that game came out at just the right time in my life and it helped me through some shitty and dark moments.
@Pantelis Tzimas you sounds like an incel, idk what you went through in life but having a strong hate or pity for “modern western women” in general is fucking stupid
Years later, and he still knows the basics of CQC.
Meanwhile, Solidus: *is missing eye on the completely opposite side*
"So this is Big Boss, right?"
"Yeah, probably."
Huh...never though u would be here in this old masterpiece of game....you must be an old dog too lol ❤
Note at the start. Big Boss has the same gun that the Boss from MSG3 was using when you fought her. And if you look on the background you see white flowers just like the ones during your fight with Boss in MSG3.
That Gun Was Specially Made For The Boss and That Gun Has Over a 100 Rounds In It and Basically The Boss Used a Mini Machine Gun as a *SIDEARM.*
A Frickin *SIDEARM!*
God...She was an Absolute Badass💯
@HallucinogenicMac MGS was never about realism, the info page for the Patriot in MGS3 even says it has unlimited ammo because its magazine has the shape of the unlimited sign. If you call Sigint about it, he tells you that its a modified M16 with a short barrel. Sigint will be very surprised that Boss could handle the kick in full auto with a single arm.
@HallucinogenicMac Yes, i didnt meant MGS was totally unrealistic. Thats just Kojimas charm, its realistic, but not to the degree of a wannabe Call Of Duty War Simulation.
Its just enough unrealistic nonsense that its amazing. As far as i remember, Kojima had a military adviser and soldiers to help with the accuracy of gun facts, movement, tactics etc
@HallucinogenicMac He had, after every MGS you can see it in the credits. Funnily enough, if you google ''MGS Military adviser'' you get this:
''Tomoaki Iishiba
Konami's military technical advisor has been incarcerated for selling military weapons to Japan. Metal Gear Solid 4 military consultant Tomoaki Iishiba is under investigation for selling night-vision firearm scopes from America to conspirators in Japan.''
That flower effect is the boss from the grave. The sorrow did it too. That's an incredible bond
The longest death scene in gaming history, and damn worth every second!

This game has aged extremely well, just look at all the small details like the cigar moving in his lips while he talks, the wind rustling his coat collar, etc.
This is good..... Isn't it?
@@MrFunkhauser I finally bought myself a ps3 and just played it for my first time aftter waiting like 10 years and can say it feels like a game of this generation.
The scene between otacon and sunny always gets me.
So according to Big Boss, Ocelot was never possessed by Liquid’s right arm, he just used hypnotic suggestion to make himself think he was possessed. That actually makes more sense than being possessed by Liquid’s arm tbh
Except for when he had Liquid’s voice
@@HistoryandReviews Ocelot is a very convincing actor
@@HistoryandReviews The nanomachines may have something to do with his voice changing up like that, augmenting his vocal cords to make him sound completely different. At least, that's what I think.
He was possessed in 2 (implied to be due to inheriting some of The Sorrow's power). But because of how much trouble it was, he cut his arm off, and then replaced it with an identical prosthetic.
It's called very horrible writing and fixed with retconning

When Big Boss made his final salute before the grave of his fallen mentor, I cried on the inside.
This video shows why Metal Gear Solid is one of the greatest stories ever told in gaming history!
Every time i watch this scene, my eyes are getting 😢 full ...crying like a baby
Nah, you cried on the outside. We all did, if we played the entire series.
I'm a newcomer to the Metal Gear franchise. I played all the games in the Legacy Collection in chronological order, ending with this game. It truly felt like a journey, and I'd willingly go through all of it again. What a well rounded series of games.
A lot of people complain about how long this cutscene is and how Big Boss drones on and on about the loose ends, but I found this to be perfect for the end of my Metal Gear Saga blind playthrough. A very long cutscene with the two main protagonists, reinforcing the theme of choosing life and living it to the fullest, and just some really good voice acting. Metal Gear couldn't have ended any better. Two old guys talking in a cemetery for 30 minutes feels so rewarding and entertaining after going through this journey.
It gives the player a time to relax, think about what’s happening, and possibly cry. Seeing my hero, Big Boss, weak from all the fighting telling his son that he loves him was heartbreaking. Seeing an old hero die in a way like that was sad to see but Big Boss wanted peace no more war and ponds in some game, only for those to live life there way. Seeing my hero as a normal man weak was a great way to show humanity in his character but really heartbreaking just as well. I will always tell anyone that plays MGS for the first time to leave the 4th game last no matter what. It’s the end of an era and should always be played last bc it’s the end of the story.
And just to say:
Big Boss isn't the villain, ok? Don't believe in anyone who told this.
And now you can play Portable Ops and the MGSV, that has Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain.
@@ariochlenneth5945 I played all of those later. Also he is a villain because of what he does in MG2 for MSX.
@@They_are_Arthur No, he isn't, but ok, tell me what he does in MG2.
@@ariochlenneth5945 In MG2 he harbors child soldiers (also seen in Peace Walker and Phantom Pain) and tells Snake to his face that he'd willingly let those children go out into war and die because he sees lives as expendable. Also Zanzibar Land is a nation of his which harbors nukes, which is a bad thing
It's been almost 15 years. And yet, everytime he gives his final salute to The Boss, I just can;t help but break down and cry. The Boss and BB really were something else. Once in a lifetime characters.
"But in the end, we were both trapped in the same cage."
"Liberty."
My favourite line.
Snake and Boss sound different because Boss actually had the years for his voice to develop where as snake's body aged rapidly but his voice hadn't been used enough to become that
That and ... Konami/kojima ain't cutting two checks for hayter 😅
@@DanielZ5 I heard Hayter was a dick and whined a lot.
That doesn't make sense dude. so everything aged except his voice. that's bullshit.
@Rorisang
Age =/= natural development of cords
@@rorisang8602 Big Boss used his vocal cords for much longer than Solid, your voice does change with the years but it has nothing to do with age in this case.
Really does suck that Snake’s cloning mixed with the nanomachines fucked him up, had he been allowed to live a life to be his gene-father’s age, then I think he would’ve truly been satisfied.
But think about the possibility that he may be fighting with no end in sight. Pretty much just like Big Boss did.
@@ashleighchance9420 bruh

Just a personal opinion but: we saw arthurs death coming from a mile away but johns was so sudden and shocking that one was much more impactful to me
@@Big-BossX True but John was a hero of rdr1 while Arthur seemed like a ruthless gangster with no values in the beginning. He slowly turns into a hero as his idol Dutch turns into a villain, and that execution was perfect imo though I don't think the whole game was a masterpiece particularly
Gotta love how they totally take away every little sense of dignity Zero might have still had with the toilet flushing sound of his chair.
Lmao
That is also tragic, too. Zero's story may be not as tragic as The Boss' or others, but still helluva tragic nonetheless. The man himself misinterpreted The Boss' will and contributed in sending the world to hell, but in truth he never wanted it to be that way, as the AI's he had created to control the world basically malfunctioned. And he also tried to restore his friendship with Big Boss, going by the events in MGSV. It's unfortunate that Big Boss will never know because he was the one comatose at the time while Zero was fully conscious. So instead of rekindling their friendship and going out in peace with him, in the end Big Boss has to euthanize Zero out of pity but probably saw him as more of a villain than a hero in his last moments.
@@Leadblast I never saw how zero or even big boss could become evil .... they are always shown as good people
@@TheEsdaniel The road to hell is paved with good intentions? If that applies.
I think it shows that no matter how much power you gain, your time will still come
After playing all of the metal gear games in order and then beating metal gear 4 and watching the final scene of a 32 year franchise come to a end was seriously one of the most beautiful things anyone could do. I felt like crying when i saw this. One of the greatest scenes in video game history
You can also play Metal Gear Rising, which depicts a Post-Snake world and takes place 4 years after MGS4. It essentially goes through the rest of Raidens story and has him essentially defending Snakes legacy by killing a warmonger. Its very different to the rest of the games but it has a nice send off to the saga.
@Mr Respectable can we atleast admit it's a good game?

He realized this was the way to go after so many years of struggle. It all went full circle: the moment he bacame Big Boss by facing and defeating The Boss and the moment he decided to stop being Big Boss and instead regaining himself as a human being. Masterful.
