In this video, I'm going to be taking a long look at one of the most innovative titles, and one of the greatest stories, in video game history.

Despite its flaws MGS2 is still my favorite Metal Gear game

[@himynameis3664]

The message and the way it's delivered is my favourite of the entire series. But I think snake eater is my favourite for actual gameplay, and the first one has a special place in my heart just from nostalgia. I always think of the 1st 3 games as a perfect trilogy.

While MGS 3 is the best overall experience I've had with an MGS game. MGS 2 was undeniably amazing, especially having played it upon initial release. Amazing work on this video!

I’ve spent the past 3 days or so just sat watching this video bit by bit & I’ve got to say, it was very well put together! You’ve earned yourself a new sub but you deserve a million more!

[@cultureshock8435]

Appreciate you bro. Had a long layoff there but new video dropping in the next week 🙏

[@SanchezS1998]

When I remembered you were the guy who did the review for GTA IV, I knew I had to watch this. MGS2’s one of my favorite games of all time.

[@cultureshock8435]

Cheers boss, hope you enjoy it 🙏

[@GlenK1994]

Brilliant, love the detail in these reviews. Please keep them up, one of the best game reviewers on youtube

[@cultureshock8435]

Appreciate you man

[@bradreed4414]

2 was my first one so obviously I love it lol. For me it’s between this and 3 for the best.

[@aneezgideon4966]

Your opening is PERFECTION!

[@cultureshock8435]

Thanks mate

[@Mobius_Ap3x]

Still love this game! 😎

[@kondigong8589]

Great video!

[@alexwareham8005]

How have you not even got 2k subs?? That's criminal. When there's people out there paying for gamer girls bathwater, a man like you deserves some recognition. 💪

Did you ever notice that the 'colon' of Arsenal has a platoon of stored RAY units? Also, if you are watching closely you can see that the unmanned drone RAY units doesn't have the same long tail as the manually driven model.

Where abouts in Ireland do you hail from my man? Just discovered your channel and your covering my favourite games, as an Irishman myself I think it's super cool

[@cultureshock8435]

From Wicklow my man but living abroad, how about yourself? Appreciate the kind words brother

[@knot3d_]

MGS2: Stellar as a story & piece of 'art' that transcends the videogame medium. MGS2: as a stealth videogame, good but NOT great. Overall, it's a flawed Masterpiece by design, but it could have been so much better with some key changes without losing its essence. Yes, Kojima-san is only human too.

[@zlodrim9284]

Since you haven't posted a new video in nearly a year, will you eventually do a Snake Eater retrospective or is your channel currently on indefinite hiatus?

[@cultureshock8435]

Will be back soon boss

[@zlodrim9284]

@@cultureshock8435 That's great to hear, thanks for replying to my comment so fast! It's always a delight to discover a new analysis of the first 3 MGS games, especially a 2 hour long Sons of Liberty one!

[@theandronikus5061]

​@@cultureshock8435Splendid, your doing great work and it would be a shame to lose such a talented creator.

[@thesaintirl]

Far too many cut scenes in MGS2 to be my favourite.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

Then you don't understand metal gear, it's about the story and gameplay...the cutscenes are part of it

[@thesaintirl]

@@truckercowboyed2638 part of it, certainly.

Sub for you
