Edit 1: “Here’s to You” is actually by Ennio Morricone and Joan Baez. It’s part of the soundtrack of the film “Sacco & Vanzetti”

Today we’re taking a look at the final era of the Metal Gear series, in all it’s messy, fumbling, beautiful glory.

  4. I was wondering where the navel gazing pseudointellectual wank was, but it starts around 2H56.
    Speaking for Kojima and interpreting something that likely isn't there.
    Cringe.

    Edit : UGGGHHHH some more painful pseudowank right near the end.
    Stop trying to be fucking SuperEyePatchWolf or whatever his name is. Doesn't work for him, either.

  8. Awesome video man, hard to avoid just doing a plot recap for this game but you did a great job tying it all into the themes of the game and not just the call backs to the rest of the serious 10/10

  10. Great game, messy story that never got finished. Iam still sad MGSV didnt get a proper expansion and ending and also a version that just lets you Ground Zero´s mission beforehand in one game…

  12. “Here’s to You by Sacco e Vanzetti begins playing.” That thew me off. The song was composed by Ennio Morricone & Joan Baez for the Sacco e Vanzetti movie. Ennio really deserves a name credit being an influential genius from all his works most notably – his scores for the Clint Eastwood / Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns Dollars Trilogy. Ecstasy of Gold. Etc.

  15. Sorry son I get where you are coming from but it's very clearly an unfinished game, the part where you and the bad guy sit in a jeep while he explains the entire plot (and then awkwardly stare at each other in silence for like a minute, uncharacteristically amateur for a kojima game) you is basically where Konami clearly said stop, no more money and you just get to wrap up what you have, missions get reused and it feels very meandering and has no flow at all to the story after that point with it almost being like a check box to get to the next cutscene/story event. I never believed there was some secret hidden ending or cut content but it's very clearly not the full story that was wanting to be told and I think it's because Konami said stop and the only thing they were allowed to do is Polish what was already done. I'm still annoyed you spend so much time working towards making a spider tank that has it's own intro cutscene but you can only use it in the global mission thing, very clearly a cut piece of game. The idea of the story being told through tape recordings also shows a lot of downscaling

  22. I need to call BS on a few of you're points normally Iike your videos but you left out a major flaw in this game IT DOESN'T HAVE AN END MISSION it's an incomplete game and if you really think kojima really left MGS to US how come the best we got is an MGS 3 remake it's like I've said before Konami didnt kill mgs kojima's ego did isnt it suspicious how if megs really belonged to the fans dozens of game studios would try their hand at an MGS game?…

  23. Honestly I have been saying that for 9 years. The game never felt unfinised at all and it was clear from the get go you had to listen to the cassette tapes for the big plot expositions we are used to. My only big beef with this game's plot was the pacing was bad as for the gameplay the greedy microtransactions and such really rubbed me the wrong way. I always felt the game was in an uphill battle due to the behind the scenes stuff with Kojima and Konami and yeah it sucked we didn't get mission 51 or that chapter 3 but as you said it was very obvious that they were probably never gonna be in the game to begin with. Kinda sucks the Metal Gear series ended on a whimper but it is a good thing Kojima was able to move on and I cannot wait until your death stranding video, which is a game I have a lot of thoughts on

  24. A bit of pop culture history crossover that I think about a bunch is how modern toys as we know it are the way they are because of the invasion of Afghanistan featured in MGS5; oil prices rose due to scarsity at the time, and this meant less petroleum for making plastic toys. As a consequence, Hasbro relaunched GI Joe as a smaller 6-inch figure, with an emphasis on larger, more expensive vehicles you could put the figures in.

    Japan licensed these smaller toy designs and created various toylines like Henshin Robo and Microchange. The accessory vehicles in Microchange could transform into pilotable robots. Hasbro would eventually import these toys to make Transformers.

    Now for the interesting part: The inciting event for the Transformers storyline is that two warring factions made a foreign land their battlefield as it held the natural resources necessary for facilitating their war.

    Sound familiar?

    A lot of media over the years has leaned into the parallels between the imperialistic premise of Transformers and the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. The IDW comic series that ran from 2005 to 2018 is most notable b/c the latter half of the series had the war end and the characters, many of whom were brought online during the war, had to reckon with who they were as people when the conflict that defined their entire existence was over. This is made complicated by the fact their home planet (which is established as necessary for their means of reproduction) is nearly uninhabitable and lacks infrastructure, most of the galaxy has a shoot-on-sight policy thanks to the fact the war ran for longer than most civilizations alive today have existed, and most of the cybertronian population **literally have guns for hands*.

    Really good read; I hope Hasbro gets their stuff in order because it's getting harder and harder to find those comics.

  25. I'm kinda sad you didn't take more time to talk about V's characterization. While it definitely is the most reserved of any main character in the Metal Gear series the moments that happen really do make you feel something so real for him. His inability to let go of Paz because it was his fault for her death as the medic thus leading to her phantom, his dedication turning into resentment towards Big Boss only to swallow that and complete the mission as shown in the Truth cutscene, his treatment of Eli after finding out who he really is, and the very clear fact that even though he looks and has the memories of Big Boss he is grieving deeply in a way Big Boss never showed, especially with his hallucination at the end of Shining Lights, Even in Death where lays down among the corpses, horn protruding and soaked in blood just the way he sees himself. It's small moments in total but the moments shown are so deeply fascinating imo

  26. This game is simply addicting. Although the story may be undercooked/unfinished it more than makes up for it with it's enthralling dynamic gameplay. The sheer number of ways you can approach missions is insane. 2 people can play the same mission and have 2 vastly differen't experiences. This is peak stealth gameplay.

  27. Should i go back and finish this game? I quit very early after clearing out a base and feeling like a bad ass a bunch of people started flying and chasing me and I turned it off because it was dumb.

  29. MGS 5 is an amazing stealth action game and has amazing gunplay

    But it's an AWFUL MGS game and the signature bossfights and gone, just 2 reused assets and ideas with The Burning Man (Volgin) and the Sahelanthropus and PsychoMantis knockoff being just another mediocre Metal Gear Mech "Bossfights" and massively underwhelming and disappointing

    As I said Amazing Stealth Action game with superb gunplay and mechanics but an awful MGS game

  33. I love your stuff but what the fuck? It’s a little leaning on Konami’s side ?? And then seconds later you bring up how they treated him and literally abused him even with limiting internet access while at the office? Konami has 0 to do with anything great kojima did they are just a scum corpo that shits out mobile games. Leverything they did was disgusting and the fact you even try to play in the middle here was so weird.
