How Metal Gear Solid Broke the World

[@dumbsville]

Hey, y'all!! Thanks for the feedback on this video. This was one of my favs to make and I wanna keep doing this series. I do wanna address a few things as well: CORRECTIONS/ELABORATIONS: -I said in the video that Kojima worked on Metal Gear Solid until he was "forced not to." A lot of people are saying this is inaccurate as it's more like he was forced to work on Metal Gear Solid constantly, even though he didn't want to, until he was kicked out of the company. This isn't really a "mistake" as I am 100% aware of that and was planning on (potentially) bringing that up in later MGS videos. Basically, I never said that he *wanted* to only work on Metal Gear, I just said that he did. The point was that I wanted to show how impressive it was that Kojima made an auteur-level name for himself while only having one franchise under his belt. -"Deep Throat" was historically the name of a real life 70's secret informant who leaked information, leading to the Watergate scandal. I can't believe I missed that and didn't know that until now. I guess I didn't pay attention in history class LOL. Now I know what Kojima meant by that!! -"Aren't MG1 and 2 canon?" I could be wrong on this since it's been a hot minute since I played them, but from what I remember specifically, Big Boss does NOT reveal to Snake that he's his father, which is a crucial point to MGS1 and the entire series. That's what I was primarily talking about. I could be wrong on that, though, since it's been a while. -"What is that 🔥🔥🔥 FIRE 🔥🔥🔥 Metal Gear beat at the beginning?!??" Oh, that was made by me :) There are probably plenty of other things I got wrong. I'm just one guy making most of these videos, after all. This video took WAY too long to make!! I actually had to cut an entire segment about ports and The Twin Snakes out, AND I forgot to include a part about the alternate ending! GRAAAHH!! But either way, thanks so much! This is one of the few positive reviews I made that's actually doing quite well, which makes me so, so, SOOO happy. You guys are fucking awesome!! I got a few other videos to do first, but an MGS2 video is on the way!!

[@frost8077]

Another correction is that Kojima did more than Metal Gear. He also worked on The Zone of the Enders.

[@Vivi-Sected]

as far as canon goes, you have to take each metal gear game as sort of its' own thing. Like you said, there is no "Snake, I am your father" moment in MG2, despite Campbell and Snake mentioning it in MGS. There's also a strong argument that MGS2 was mostly or entirely a VR simulation, and at the very least it's supposed to be unclear what's real and what isn't, but that interpretation doesn't gel at all with MGS4. MGSV basically doesn't fit with any of the other games even remotely. That's why I always tell people to avoid playing the games in chronological order, go with release order instead. It's not a long story that forms some grand epic, it's a series of one-off stories that are thematically and narratively connected, but don't have a strict continuity. Each new entry ignores or follows up on whatever plot threads were useful for the story they wanted to tell, but they're never married to a concept or plot point. I also don't think Kojima deserves so much credit for the games he's worked on. He does a lot, but he's not a level designer, or a programmer, or even the only writer! There's plenty of behind the scenes story that demonstrate the rest of the team having plenty of say in what they were making. Oh and while he went to film school briefly, Kojima was ultimately trying to be a novelist, not a filmmaker.

It revealed to everyone how the M1911 is the greatest handgun since the Colt SAA. First of all, the feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. It’s not going to have any feeding problems. The slide’s been replaced with a reinforced version, and it meshes perfectly with the frame. The frame itself has been iron-welded and scraped down multiple times for maximum precision. The front strap part of the frame has been checkered to make it dig into the hand. That prevents any slipping. The sight system’s original too. It’s a 3-dot type. It’s got an enlarged front sight, giving it superior target sighting capability. The regular hammer’s been replaced with a ring hammer. That enhances the cocking control and increases the hammer-down speed. They also reworked the grip safety to accommodate the ring hammer. It looks like they eliminated it altogether. This is a tool for pros. The thumb safety and slide stop are extended for precise handling. The base of the trigger guard is whittled down so you can use a high grip, and the trigger itself is a long type for easy finger access. The trigger pull is about 3.5 pounds. that’s about a pound and a half lighter than normal. The magazine well has been widened to make it easier to put in a new magazine. The magazine catch button has been filed down low to make it harder to hit it by mistake. The mainspring housing has been changed to a flat type to increase grip, and it’s even been fitted with stepping so that it won’t slip from the recoil when firing. On top of that, they added cocking serrations to the top part of the slide. That lets you load and eject cartridges faster in an emergency. Whoever did this is a professional, no question. This thing could shoot a one-hole at 25 yards in a machine rest.

Correction Metal Gear REX is not a stealth Weapon but a Mobile Nuclear Armed Bipedal Tank it is the untraceable nuclear warheads it fires that are Stealth they are fired from its massive Rail Gun/cannon removing the need for rocket fuel making the warheads untraceable, The warheads are also fired at speeds several times faster than conventional rockets by the time the target realizes whats happening they are already dead and nobody would Know who fired it or where it was fired from(secret weapon stays secret).

Funny enough, I can, and it loops straight back to the statement: Otacon was originally fat, but then when there was a concept of a slimmer Otacon, Kojima thought it reminded of him and his obsession with anime. The rest is history.

@@donnycorn3086 I mean, I respect that Kojima didn't go the route of making Otacon any kind of action-oriented sidekick beyond his tech skills. I actually like the fact that Otacon, despite obviously being a genius in weapons-making and programming, was still portrayed as being out of his depth against badass super-soldiers. He still helps out with hacking information and opening machine-based mechanisms, but the actual fighting is still done by Snake. Which, oddly for this series, makes (mostly) realistic sense.

@@reptiliannoizezz.413yeah there is a pretty infamous interview with the guy who did the English translation where he talks about how he had to change nearly everything to make it sound more natural and kojima got mad because he wanted it translated with zero changes even though it made it sound incredibly awkward. In general kojima is mediocre to terrible when given complete creative freedom and created his best work when he has people who can veto some of his decisions. Pretty similar to the George Lucas situation with the originals vs the prequels. People inherently like to credit individuals with creating art but in general for projects like this it’s important to remember it is collaborative and that the director isn’t solely responsible for any of it succeeding

[@maskednil]

@@reptiliannoizezz.413 Kojima was not the sole writer behind the games, that is the cult that has been created by others. Below is a list of the writers for 1-5. In fact for 1-3 you can see the name Tomokazu Fukushima, and it has been argued that he coalesced Kojima's neboulous ideas into a cohesive story. That is why after 3, when he left, we had 4 and 5, which despite having memorable stories, still fall flat in execution compared to 1-3. That is also just a theory so far. In whatever sparse information we've got, he joined the MGS team in the last minute and was responsible for non-optional Codec calls, and some details. Regardless, Kojima needs a editors to keep him in check.

I know you mentioned that the first two Metal Gear games were largely retconned, but they’re still mostly canon. Many of the characters that you mentioned “Snake seems to already know” were pretty major characters in those two games. Gray Fox especially was in both and even one of the final bosses in MG2. Master Miller and Campbell were also main radio contacts in MG2.

[@mrreyes5004]

It's honestly kind of weird to imagine the first two Metal Gear being retconned considering that MGS3 is meant to parallel Big Boss' rookie days with Solid Snake's journey in the first two Metal Gear title. A highly-skilled yet naive rookie sent into a jungle, being tested against special forces warriors, finding out their mentor is a traitor, etc.

Hey, just rewatching this now for the second time and its really a great video, i actually do love when you talk about games and movies you love as much as the ones you hate or just find goofy. Mgs means a lot to me too and its great that you're bringing it to light for more people. One little note tho, one of my favorite aspects of mgs1 is how the game just carries on even if you fail the torture (you can submit to it, which i did in my first play bc i didnt know you could survive it) and honestly, i think this "bad" ending reinforces the message that encourages you to keep living, not that i feel good or didnt care about failing Meryl like that, but for such an old game its interesting how it doesnt hold that against you (too) much, you're *allowed and encouraged* to keep living and carry on. I dont think i ever felt more impacted by a game before that... A really great video btw! Feels nice to revisit this story after so long.

[@faultyvideos2215]

I do think it's worth noting that, though the MSX games may have been retconned to an extent, some version of the events depicted in those games still happen in the metal gear timeline. Spoilers for the MSX games Gray Fox isn't just "a man snake has fought with in war," he was a highly decorated soldier, with his codename even being the highest honor obtainable in the foxhound unit. In the events of Metal Gear 1, Snake rescues gray Fox after a failed attempt at infiltrating outer heaven, and over the course of metal gear 2, he acts as basically a double agent, very similar to his actions in MGS 1, in fact, at this point working for big boss because he's felt his place was only ever on the battle field, and following big boss more or less assures gray fox that he'll always be on one, despite him not being completely on board with big boss's ideals. Eventually, Snake and Fox confront one another and fight, Snake mortally wounding gray Fox in the process, where he confesses to being Snake's "number one fan" (the MG2 equivalent of "deepthroat" here). This leads into his revival through the use of an exoskeleton and the rest is history. And it doesn't end with gray Fox either, master Miller was also snake's combat advisor in metal gear 2, making the ultimate revelation that he was killed and swapped out with liquid snake all the more shocking to those who have played the prior titles. All this to say that the MSX games, even if they're older, more tame, and don't quite have the same rich themes of MGS 1 onwards, they are still worth experiencing and are essential parts of the full narrative of metal gear. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, absolutely wonderful video.

Honestly, if it weren't for Hideo Kojima and Metal Gear Solid, I might not even be a gamer today. I was pretty much burned out on gaming by the time the PS1 came out, then I saw the MGS1 demo at a friend's house and was completely blown away by it. Sold my Super Nintendo collection on eBay and used that money plus some I had saved to buy a PS1 bundle at Sam's Club that came with a memory card, a second Dualshock, Spyro the Dragon, and Jet Moto 2, and also picked up copies of Metal Gear Solid and Duke Nukem: Time to Kill.

Much more humane. 54:25 Stealth weapon in the sense that it fires nuclear missiles without fuel, using a rail gun, making them undetectable. It also circumvents international treaties because it's "missiles" aren't technically missiles since they have no fuel. Great review. The meme filled editing is personally not my cup of tea but still was very insightful. Especially to someone who perhaps never touched a Metal Gear game. Just have a couple nitpicks. There is quite a bit of backtracking, which is rather standard design for the 90s. While I do agree that the backtracking for the PAL card was rather annoying, I feel that the one for the PSG1 is actually great design. It adds to the urgency of the situation because you have Meryl bleeding to death and you can't do anything without a sniper rifle. Finally, the Alert sequence in the Communication Tower I feel is an interesting break in the typical gameplay loop that just envolves avoiding combat and here it forces you to be on the offensive. MGS is probably my favourite game in the series after MGS2 and I still boot up my PS1 from time to time just to play it.

I dunno if somebody else already mentioned it, but after the Sniper Wolf fight if you look at the sky you can see a parachute landing which is probably Liquid escaping the hind D that Snake blew up before. Just another detail that makes this game even better.

The best part about this is that there is no ejection method from the cockpit in a Hind D as if you did, you would immediately be torn apart by the propellors above you.

[@tharshack]

[@thatdudeintinfoil4509]

Amazing video, always enjoy your stuff

[@paddydoodlexx9727]

It's time for a peak dumbsville video

[@georgeviney9360]

Dumbsvile finally does a video on Metal Gear Solid, Now you’ve really kept me waiting Boss

[@ChillaxingJay]

I would honestly love if Dumbsville continues to cover this series because I really enjoyed his thoughts on MGS

[@JN_Sc2]

26:46 "I always wear cologne" Something never said at an anime con.

[@solidTONER]

That liquid as miller revealed was top notch!!!

[@sanova162]

43:30 *beep beep*[CALL push select] *beep beep* “Snake if you simply can’t resist the torture with your THUMB use the SPOON method! Find a spoon and have it go back,and forth on the ACTION BUTTON. Hurry Snake!” CALL END

[@Tasteful_Milk]

I just realized that the dialog “Crawl on the ground like the snake you are” was explaining how to pick up mines

[@comicalenigma4281]

Good Shit Dumbsy, this is exactly the kind of message I needed "don't let your heretige define who you are as a person ,live life on your own terms" Thanks Dumbsy and thanks Hideo you profoundly weird man❤

[@tomasmikus3988]

Absolute peak I'm excited to see the other videos about the rest of the franchise I never was interested in Metal Gear before but after your references to it and now this video I might give it a try after all.

[@JoeyDoesStuff1120]

Opening intro is fantastic!

[@metalmadnessreviews]

Great video. MGS was the game that connected me and my brother for a long time. It was the game that turned us into gamers and we have a lot of memories from this.

[@Mr_bukowski4435]

This video felt like a long time coming and especially now Metal Gear is more relevant than ever so thank you Dumbsy for finally making your passion project

[@PaktNisely]

Hickok45 as Ocelot was too perfect

[@jetewson]

A new dumbsville video... What?!? Poggers!

[@postaldude9779]

Snake my beloved autistic protagonist ♥️

[@josephchandrasegaran276]

Nice vid Dumbsy. I was first introduced to the Metal Gear Solid series through the 3DS port of MGS 3, and got hooked. The story was great with many tropes involved with film, such as the Bond franchise. While I was more familiar with the stealth games such as the Splinter Cell games, MGS was clearly the better experience for me personally. Possibly my favourite franchise from Konami.

[@smughatchild2532]

After rewatching this for like the 5th time I can proudly say I can’t wait for the next video to drop

[@chadmcchad7048]

Did I get the bum ass ending where you drive off into the sunrise with Otacon

[@recapnerd2657]

Since I’ve been watching your videos for quite a while now, it really feels weird seeing Metal Gear cutscenes actually play normally😅

[@maemsy]

incredible to think that hideo kojima would go on to make the Bluey video game

[@emreatay6096]

dayum this vid was actually amazing, think its my favourite dumbsy video now, and ive never even played an mgs game

[@SMandz]

i really enjoyed this, looking forward to part 2 (i hope there will be one)

[@Ag_33]

This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for

[@EmmaBonn96]

Honestly I love the meta ludology of the game It sucks to backtrack It also sucks to leave your partner behind instead of taking the sniper bait You feel what snake feels It sucks to have to button mash It sucks to be tortured It’s nice to have something vibrate on your arm So it happens to you and snake You feel what snake feels

[@wyattthoms2452]

The first minute of this video is literally the hardest edit of anything I've ever seen.

[@reptilianinmateusz8533]

22:02 I know you could have intentionally missed this for memes but, deepthroat was a code name for an informant from water gate scandal. (snake references this on this very cutscene)

[@mrreyes5004]

It's so odd to think that there was a time when action games _weren't_ expected to have some kind of deep story. But Metal Gear Solid's frequent fourth-wall breaks, on top of being comedic, also ironically do strengthen the idea that the real-life player is involved in the story just as much as Snake, Otacon and Meryl. When Liquid calls out Solid for enjoying the thrill of killing, he's ALSO calling out the player for taking pleasure in killing enemies (even if simulated ones). It's the kind of deep deconstruction that really wouldn't be followed up until Far Cry 3 and Hotline Miami.

[@itsvinilol]

Banger Review bro, thank u so much

[@thepackingpacjack7767]

You kept me waiting with this one!

[@onehitkill8895]

The representations of Foxhound members alone, compelled me to subscribe!

[@TheBatspecter]

i literally waited until i finished mgs1 to check this video out and i'm so glad i did

[@Swanhub]

I need to get a full version of the good girls bad guys mgs2 cover immediately

[@lokephoenix1039]

The Best is Yet to Come is one of the most beautiful songs ever made, never fails to make me tear up

[@stinkyman1535]

21:15 Am I the only one that wants dumbsville to do a cover of “sins of the father”?

[@smokeythebandit6423]

7:35 revolver ocelot took me out lmaooo
