Best Part in Metal Gear Solid Series -- Snake about Big Boss -- Torture Room Dialogs

[@justusthedeep]

Metal Gear Solid is a game that is fresh and new the older you get. As a kid, you're drawn in by the walking robot and action and cool character you play. As an adult, you're drawn to the political struggle and depth of the characters and the lore surrounding Metal Gear. What a stellar game and series.

[@Leon_der_Luftige]

+Common Sense not just a piece.... It's a milestone. And for me, it proves that video games are an art that can deliver much more plot than - any film (because it lasts longer) - or a book (in a written story, you can't see the memes or any body language)

[@mattypaul87]

MrAmmo30 Well i was mostly referring to the events of MGS1. Just this scene alone where Colonel had to keep secrets from Snake and pretty much blackmail him to do this mission on Shadow Moses in the first place. Obviously, Snake hates that, but still considers Campbell a friend from their history.

[@smol_white_bat]

David Hayter's voice was great here in MGS1. Natural sounding voice, not overdoing the rasp by the end of each word, man, this truly was Solid Snake.

[@lorenzolyleabadia1669]

+micoromico Well, he was portraying Old Snake in MGS4, so I can understand the rasp thing.

[@smol_white_bat]

The thing is, by MGS2 he was already overdoing the voice. Don't get me wrong, I still like his portrayal of the character, just that sometimes it gets too comical in a way. Kinda like what happened to Al Pacino's voice by the time he did Scent of a Woman in 92, with all that yelling, but that's what happens when you get older, your voice changes if you force it too much.

[@HarryManco]

Not to mention the fact that he smokes like a chimney.

[@SuperSaiyanAl]

It wasn't so bad in MGS2, but by Snake Eater...yeah. For what it's worth, I think it was fine in MGS4 and Peace Walker. In the latter case, a lot of people feel like it doesn't make sense for Big Boss to sound like Old Snake when he was still relatively young, but I don't know. I felt like it suited the character at that point in his life. If David ever takes the role back, though, I'd want him to return to this kind of portrayal./

[@xycolox4802]

[@jknintendo]

The silly jokes in MGS1 are incredibly necessary though. Despite the amazing writing MGS1 still holds up to, the one liners and setpieces break it up in a very refreshing way, because unfortunately, like in MGS4 and MGS5, if you have almost a solid 3 hours of serious writing it gets grinding and annoying, so having some humor break it up is a good way to keep your audience engaged.

You completely missunderstood big boss and you were fooled by the Patriots just like Solid Snake. Big Boss was fighting Zero/The Patriots who want to rule over the World.

[@knightshousegames]

Zero and Big Boss both walked the path lined with good intentions straight to hell. They both had their own interpretations of The Boss' will, but in the end both of their visions became so twisted that they nearly tore the world apart.

If you haven't realized after all this time she was set up to become the enemy and start that war basically if I'm thinking of the right one and he was supposed to kill her because she was a scapegoat and he had to do that on behalf of her and the government, so it wasn't really his fault

I swear the dialogue is so much more natural in this one!

[@royal2852]

+ToadProductionINC Better translation and localization. Too bad Jeremy Blaustein who translated MGS1 got the boot and Kojima demanded more literal translations for western audiences hence why the dialogue in the others is sometimes awkward and stilted.

[@BillyPalmerMusic]

Scott Perry Ah, that's really interesting. Shame Kojima didn't have an editor around then.

[@royal2852]

Matthew Williams Don't get me started on how bad MGS5's plot is. Frankly, I think he deserved the boot from Konami given that he had 5 years, a team of 200 employees and a huge budget and the game is still incomplete.

[@BillyPalmerMusic]

Scott Perry I've been thinking this actually. Most people have been very black and white about Konami vs Hideo, when five years and an insane budget has actually resulted in a game pretty muddled in a lot of places. Kojima's made far better trailers than a real story all the while making ridiculous claims about what his game. He basically cut the whole game into his trailers :(

[@royal2852]

Matthew Williams Keep in mind, MGS5 had a whole chapter cut from the final release. Skullfaces death in Kojima's words was actually early in the game and then I assume the rest would've been about Venom's fall from grace. Kojimadrones never cease to amaze me with how much mental hoops they create to justify hack writing and bad direction, especially for MGS5. The way the scenes were directed might be subjective but knowing some fans actually think the writing and dialogue is anywhere half-decent is straight up delusional. It's frankly embarrassing when some people hold MGS as the bastion of storytelling. It's sad to say but MGR:R has a more satisfying story then MGS5 complete with a Metal Gear fight followed by a one-on-one fight, a series staple that MGS5 completely forgot about.

+Firemarioflower A: his methods might be repulsive to others yet, he has a point. The means justifies the end. B: he DID NOT kill innocent people, Jack's parents were an accident and he didn't want to nuke Manhattan just have the nuke explode in the atmosphere to develop electronic pulse that takes down WallSt the Patriot's main finance machine. C: Solidus will was achieved in MGS4 despite Solid not believing in it. People were eventually free from the system and if it wasn't for Ocelot's betrayal to Solidus, he would've achieved it during MGS2 but hey, then you wouldn't get a sequel. Finally, screw Raiden and his lame ass role in the entire series. Solidus died for civil rights, liberties, opportunities! Now that's why he is a true Patriot to me.

[@Firemarioflower]

Fahad S.S He still was in command of Dead Cell, who slaughtered the public (mainly Vamp, but also Fortune and Bomberman) because they didnt believe them. Solidus still tried to kill Jack, who's a hero. And he's an enemy of Solid Snake too. Ocelot didnt betray anyone since it was orchestrated from the start. It's not Raidens fault. He's had a terrible youth, go easy on him. Sure, he was a Patriot, who fought the patriots. How does that make sense? He CLAIMED to fight for that, not really did it otherwise they hadnt built a stupid oil rig and convert it into a sort of platform, plus several Metal Gears in order to destroy the world. Do you really think he only created those Rays to fight Raiden and Snake? NO! One of the hostages was killed after Raiden and Snake took care of the C4, and Solidus was still in control at that moment. Besides, he instigated Shadow Moses.

[@PunishedSolidusRex]

I actually unironically like Snake's "yup"s, his delivery throughout the whole scene felt like it was even more painful to talk about killing Big Boss, when Naomi questions him about it using very blunt and direct phrasing, it sounds like he could barely muster up the strength to get out even a simple "yup" in response. So much emotion is being conveyed with just a single word.

When I first played this game, this was the first moment that really reminded me that Snake really is human. For most of the game, he’s an unstoppable super-spy badass, a regular American James Bond. Seeing him reach out to someone he barely knows just to take his mind off the intense physical and emotional pain he was in, baring his soul to someone he’d only met a few hours ago, was oddly moving to me. Despite all his experience, all the times he’s saved the world, he still has that shred of human weakness that never really leaves anyone.

Deathbrewer To be fair, Big Boss in MGS 4 sounded nothing like David Hayter, so I can get passed him having a different voice. In fact, I think I prefer it, since when he was voiced by David Hayter, all I saw was Solid Snake in a different setting, but when he was voiced by Keifer Sutherland, I saw a different character all together, which Big Boss is supposed to be. Plus, Accent or not, Mei Ling is still adorable.

[@DeathBringer769]

Arthus850 Only problem I have with it is Hayter being Naked Snake/Big Boss in MGS3 and Peacewalker already. I don't see what Old Snake in MGS4 has to do with anything except Hayter destroying his voice, as he put it, trying to make Solid Snake sound as old and pained as possible lol. But I get what you're saying, I don't really have a problem with Keifer voicing Big Boss now that he's really changing into the damaged, cynical and conflicted character who ends up a villian. Japan still has the same voice actor they've always had though, like if Hayter had stayed on for English regions. Just saying.

Typically people are more interested in others whom they cannot relate to

[@kingofburnttoast]

What I always loved about this part was the tone of snakes voice when he talks about killing big boss, and how he saw gray fox as his friend. he doesn't excuse the things he's done, just accepts that they happened, because he had to do it. it's interesting seeing the parallels between him and big boss, seeing as how BB had to kill The Boss, whilst Snake had to kill both his father, and his idol in order to succeed in his mission. but whereas Big Boss took the route to change the world to how he saw fit, i love how Snake, having gone through similar circumstances, despite having become numb from all the trauma he experienced, and realising that he was born to carry on a bloody legacy of war, saw more reason to save the world from that way of life. Solid snake was the truest hero of the series

[@PHOEBE_LOVELY]

Naomi must have shocked when she learned that solid Snake called Frank Jaeger his friend……

[@MoreMallards]

she learned a lot about the guy who killed her brother during this incident

[@jorgegutierrez6998]

6:02 "After you´ve been through as many wars as me, it´s hard to trust anyone". great line.

[@Kujakuseki01]

The subtlety of the script is so brilliant. Seeing this scene again after the major plot reveals is unbelievable. Naomi's reactions are absolutely phenomenal.

[@SomaliLiger0]

Man, the dialogue is so much better than Twin Snakes. They really should have made it mandatory for all the actors to listen to their lines from the original to re-create it in the remake. This is really the best of Hayter's work as Solid Snake. "Let's just say I needed to be alone for a while and Alaska was the perfect place." So much passion there.

[@Solidsaw]

DAVID HAYTER DO YOU READ ME??? THIS IS THE BEST SNAKE VOICE OF YOURS IN YOUR METAL GEAR CARREER. IF YOU'RE IN MGSV IN ANY WAY, DONT DESTROY IT.

[@RPZSTA]

***** He probably is still part of it in secret. He will play solid snake no doubt and hopefully we get to see Frank Jaeger!

[@Solidsaw]

Double Barrel​​ Yeah im sure too he is in mgs v, but i just dont want to hear him sound like grrrhrrhrhrhrhrhrhgggggrhrhrhhhrhhhh you know. It has to be like this, clean, smooth, not cartoonish, and tone is important too. So much using high and low notes doesnt add more emotion to it ( by high and low i mean, mgs3. It was not better than 2.1 ) mgs2 was good in that way, but mgs1 is the best.

[@The-Big-Boss]

I'm afraid its been 9 years.

[@jasonarmstrong5750]

The way Hayter delivers that line at 4:36 always gives me chills

[@RaytheGrayt]

Along with how Paul Eiding delivers everything after; "Big Boss. There was no way you could. It happened in Zanzibar six years ago. Only Snake and I know the real truth of what happened there." Perfect line and delivery. You could feel the seriousness and trauma in the words along with Best is Yet to Come in the background. Genius

There was so much history and politics in the dialogue that went over my head as a kid that I'm realizing now more than twenty years later.

[@deivisony]

8:29 "So what about my fate" She gets nervous and says she doesn't know, when probably she was afraid to tell him he would die sooner because of his old, cloned DNA.

When we hear about the fights with Grey Fox and Big Boss they sound cinematic and intense but in the actual game we see two sprites punching each other then Grey Fox disappears in an explosion and Big Boss gets sprayed by fire takes damage and disappears. That said it would be awesome to see remakes of the first two games. That would be a good remake.

twin snakes... but the original is better i mean

[@SrimeHD]

Smorsh oh okay that would be cool

[@Zero921000]

Since Snake told Naomi that Big Boss is his father, and that Big Boss wanted Snake to kill him, let's hope Big Boss tells him in the Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake remake. But I still want to see Solid Snake burning him with the Aerosol can & lighter in a cutscene. After the post-credit cutscenes, Snake can say that he is retiring from FOXHOUND & that he is going to Alaska to have some peace.

[@ryanhogge8]

Actually, solid is just a tool. He isn't a character at all. Just a body, carrying foxdie wherever it goes. There is nothing good about solid snake.

[@NurDerEffzeh1948]

It's a shame that they didn't copy the music in the Twin Snakes remake.

My all time favorite game. The sequels did surpass this game in terms of gameplay, but this game easily has the best story while the cast remains the greatest of all games ever. The sequels are full of just embarrassing moments.

[@brunoazevedo2967]

+Tommy Cruz I think exact like you

[@firstroundsonme472]

+Tommy Cruz There is more character development in this 8 minute 44 second video than the overwhelming majority of Phantom Pain.

[@jackchew4720]

+B-Eazy Phantom Pain is supposed to be a final piece of the puzzle of the metal gear solid series. Instead kojima vent overbudget and got himself fired before he could finish the story. But still phantom pain tells us "the fans of bigboss" of the reasons of his wickedness in MG, MGS2 and MGS1. MGS PP is more build around after the events of peace walker. If you were a fan of that, definately you will love this.

[@firstroundsonme472]

Chew JeeKian In MGS1, Big Boss was a mythical legend/psychotic madman who was so highly valued terrorists wanted the remains of his long dead body to enhance their genetically modified army. In MGSV, Big Boss is a coward who couldn't face the music for creating a nuclear powered mercenary company and attempting to lie to the United Nations about it. So he brainwashed one of his loyal medics, who just so happened to have a dismembered arm, brain damage, and a body full of shrapnel and tooth remains, into getting FULL BODY plastic surgery to take his place and deal with all his personal problems, including dealing with his psychotic son who is trying to kill him for being a deadbeat father and passing him inferior genes, killing the other psycho who sent an army to bomb his company, and dealing with that greedy, self serving jackass of a best friend "Miller". Meanwhile, the "real" big boss is lamping it up on some tropical island somewhere with some half naked blondie named "eva", reminiscing about the good ole days. Occasionally taking time to send the medic tapes, patronizing him into thinking he's "really" big boss and how he should be proud of himself. All while he's plotting to send his other bad ass kid in to kill him so he can eventually reclaim his name and all the fame that dumb ass medic built up for him. I'd say MGS1 had FAR better writing than that mess phantom pain.

[@jackchew4720]

+B-Eazy I did mention 'fan of peace walker' not MGS 1

[@Yoshimatsu414]

Naomi knew exactly what Solid Snake's fate was going to be....

[@trashpandatee]

Dude, when the music used to fade out during these codec calls... chills. What a magical game.

[@NecoTheSergalGAME]

This is when Hayter had the perfect voice down for Solid Snake in my mind after all the controversy over Keifer. It's hard to listen to his voice in the later games now for me.

[@solesurvivor5]

+Neco The Sergal Chef The only problem with Keifer's voice is that he can't express sorrow, only rage.

[@NecoTheSergalGAME]

solesurvivor5 Solid Snake never really expressed. No 'Snake' has ever expressed - though, you didn't say 'express' WHAT, like, Emotions? Feelings? If so, none have, so it wouldn't matter. They all are, quite socially awkward when it comes to expressing anything that doesn't involve the mission and intel. That being said, Keifer is fine with Rage, because Venom is mostly about rage.

[@MoreMallards]

+Neco The Sergal Chef Metal Gear Solid 2 was good as well, considering the direction they were going for. They wanted an aged snake...little rasp Metal Gear Solid 3 - voice direction was probably to sound like snake, but set him apart from solid by gruffing it up Metal Gear Solid 4 - Aged and brittle sounding snake. I get it, but kind of annoying to listen to. Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker - Set it apart from Solid, but try to make him sound ten years older. That's what I think happened when it came to voice direction

[@lordzhuge]

+Neco The Sergal Chef I completely agree, it was perfect here. That's why I'm hoping for maybe a remake of the original Metal Gears 1 and 2, need more young Solid Snake

[@Matriculon]

+Guilherme A. Modesti I thought the Snake voice he did in MGS3 was pretty solid, what really bothered me though were Hayter's deliveries in Peacewalker, that shit was WAY over the top in my opinion, he sounded like he'd gargled acid before he went into the booth. I thought it was kinda pointless to change the voice actor considering that "Big Boss" doesn't even say anything in the entire fucking entirety of MGSV, there's no codec or any of that shit that defined MG in my opinion, I was completely disconnected from the character and the world. Most of the time I played as one of my mercs because fuck it.

[@gregoryfox725]

These dialogs are my favorite part of the game. Naomi gets stunned by the fackt that a man who killed her brother, the one she was hell bent to avenge for, concidered him best friend and it was nothing personal. Also love that voice sayind "yup" full of pain. killed his own father, suffers psycological trauma, but took it like a man. Also one of the best parts is when he says: " Naomi, Frankie said.. that he loves you.." if he had told her the truth, it would have killed her.

[@pokemaster123ism]

This. This is when Naomi realizes that Snake isn’t the remorseless killer that she thinks he is. That he truely thought of Gray Fox as a friend, and that if could have, he wouldn’t have nearly killed him. That’s why she makes it so that FOXDIE won’t kill him

[@halo3betacrackdown]

"We were fighting bare handed in a mine field." Forever my favorite quote out of the series. I miss classic Metal Gear: Campbell, codec scenes, and a pre-Patriot plot. The series got needlessly complicated after this. Still a great series, though...
