MGS 1 helped me learn english back when I played it as a kid. I so much wanted to learn to understand it better. I'm polish.

It's been something like 20 years now since I played it and still this hasn't changed a single bit. It's not my only preference of course. But a really good story (and I mean for real) leaves practically every other characteristic far behind. Damn... Good thing I had this and not... Things like Fortnite. I mean I have nothing against Fortnite... But I definitely would not want IT to be responsible for creating my preference as a kid:|

Kojima certainly has a "being-overambitious" addiction. No piece of hardware can ever hold his wild and eccentric fantasies to their full extend.

[@W3irdWombat]

It’s funny since no one thinks of this stuff since it’s obvious it’s impossible. Kids are usually the only ones to think of these outlandish things. Yet Kojima isn’t phased by how silly these things may initially sound. I guess that’s what makes him so great. The inability to care about what people think of his creative process. I think the difference between him and Peter Molyneux is that even when his ideas aren’t met, the games still can be seen as revolutionary by many.

[@ovensmuggler5207]

Based Gale Digital Devil Saga

[@QuintusAntonious]

Honestly, that's just how creative visionaries are. They dream big and then the people whose talent is negotiation, implementation, and marketing bring them down to earth and the final product generally turns out well. When a creative has too much control, you end up with over ambitious material that either never gets completed or ends up losing too many people. When they don't have enough control, you get design by corporate focus group and the product loses its soul.

[@SpringdayAutumnmoon]

You know how a lot of scenes in MGS2 have Raiden talking to someone right in front of them but they need to switch to codec? I wonder if those were originally gonna be fully animated cutscenes but they couldn't be finished because they had to reallocate that time into changing the ending.

[@donoteatmikezila]

I always wondered why characters opted to do that so many times. The codec in general I think gets used as a way to freeze time during info-dumps. It also doesn't make much sense that all the people you run into just happen to have a codec. Why would Stillman in MGS2 have one, for example?

[@kostasnyo]

They cut to codec because the long cgi talks means more money to cgi. They said that in an article years ago.

Because no one can hear them when they use codec. It's explained in a room with hostages and mgs1

[@kylefer]

This also happened to The Phantom Pain, Ground Zeroes was the release that was most what Kojima intended, playing with dark themes and torture, which was mostly cut from TPP. It's honestly a shame, reality is dark, and horrible. Games that are designed to reflect reality and tell stories should be as close to that as possible in my opinion.

[@oniricuncle]

But TPP is dark. I mean there are child soldiers, losing limbs then hunting your enemy till you lose yourself in the process and your humanity,washed up dead bodies in a polluted factory because of experiments with a parasite, a rape scene, the whole part with Huey which is just deplorable, Venom snake forced to kill his own soldiers, the wounds of colonialism and its aftermath ; not to mention the countless tapes one of which is a sort of rendition of The Rwandan Genocide. This game is dark, perhaps it's more subtle in its bleakness but I think follows perfectly the line introduced in Ground Zeroes

[@TheMisterGuy]

@@oniricuncle "But TPP is dark. I mean there are child soldiers..." The problem is it doesn't fit. The game is too silly for those heavy themes. The bad guy's name is Skull Face. This is seriously Adam West Batman levels of camp. And oh my god, I just realized Quiet (aside from being a woman who looks hot and can't talk) is like a combination Poison Ivy and Catwoman. And those ridiculous prosthetic fist weapons...They could literally cast Adam West's Batman as the hero and this wouldn't get less silly.

Dude I miss David Hayter this is awesome. He was my childhood

[@Kerze]

Wow, while it looked like a lot of effort went into making sure Kojima didn't get too derailed with some of his more fantastical ideas, he still had the right idea about which direction to take games in in general. Him and his team were some incredibly talented and dedicated people (from the lengths they went to to learn more about what they were making, etc.).

[@TheMisterGuy]

"he still had the right idea about which direction to take games in in general." No he didn't. All those ideas are terrible. A realistic, simulated jungle, instead of just good level design? It adds nothing to the game because players are there for the spy fantasy, not horticulture, but it makes the hardware requirements go way up. A game that makes your room smell like blood by melting paint inside your console? Jesus Christ dude, no, I don't want my video game stinking up my house, and I don't want melted paint in my console. His ideas are expensive and bad, and the fact that they couldn't be done saved his career over and over. Fortunately, the parts of his ideas that were good, like making a Hollywood action movie into a game, were also achievable and fun.

[@Kerze]

@@TheMisterGuy "Made sure he didn't get too derailed by his more fantastical ideas" Can you fucking read?

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

All of David's small interjections throughout prove it to me. That Snake losing his charm and personality may have been due to the script, but it was also due to David not being there. Man has a charm that just bled into the role. There can be only one Snake and one Big Boss! *dramatically jumps into Metal Gear Ray*

[@MynameisBrianZX]

Worst decision Kojima made was remove Hayter from MGSV, and more broadly his recent obsession with hiring TV/movie actors he likes. That’s not to say those actors are at fault, but when many factors came together, the performances ended up very hit and miss.

Damn I wish we got to see the A,B,C wars in MGS4 and also being rehashed and improved in MGSV. It's heartbreaking. That made the MGS4 feel so alive.

[@jpphilosopher]

This was a pretty awesome video, thanks for making it DYKG and David for voicing it! I’m definitely looking forward to the video on the original MGS Rising that was scrapped. I also hope you make another video on Peace Walker, and MGS5. As we all should know by now, a lot of the original idea from MGS5 were scrapped and changed from what was originally promised and teased and we still haven’t been explained why from Kojima. The PP diverged a lot from Ground Zeros and unfortunately was not as good as it was.

[@davidnavarro4821]

Extremely informative video. I really appreciate the dedication you had to dig up never heard before information about the games’ content! Can’t wait for the 3rd video about Metal Gear Rising! When the trailer I was fascinated about the possibility to see Raiden face to face with The Patriots. Unfortunately it never materialized.

[@DanmakuFriedChicken]

so cool you got David to do another one of these. Sounds like he had a blast recording these.

[@ThanosAthanGR]

I see "ft David Hayter", I automatically like.

[@Chirp296]

Wow. That was an interesting watch. I'm all subscribed and ready for more.

[@guguimke5799]

great video! some indepth stuff I never heard, thank you for your hard work!

[@Omar_E11]

Love you guys for going all out and bringing David himself to narrate these vids. Metal Gear has always been one of my favorite franchises and MGS3 might just be my all time favorite game, and it is heartwarming to see such a popular channel keeping the legacy alive.

[@arthurvg2217]

MGS3 was definitely the best to me too, the atmosphere, the gameplay, no futuristic stuff, just raw action. Cheers buddy.

[@Omar_E11]

@@arthurvg2217 Word! The story is legendary, and that ending despite countless playthroughs still makes me emotional. Props my man 👍

[@naomidierckx5467]

I wasn't expecting to cry watching a DYKG video, but here I am... once againcrying over that MGS3 scene in the flower field.

[@FLCLpsycho]

That scene got me fucked up the first time I experienced it 😭

[@ExFragMaster]

@@FLCLpsycho The voice lines... if they wouldn't have been cut, i think i would have had a trauma back then, this is hard stuff right there!

[@Omar_E11]

An ending like that is how you make a game timeless.

[@kyubeats124]

I LOVE this so much! David is amazing! I hope him and Kojima are on good terms these days. David is an absolute legend in my books

[@jayst]

I have watched this three times now because it’s impossible to absorb all of the info on just one watch. Fantastic job guys, you really set the bar very high when it comes to video game content. Thank you!!

[@DJIVision]

Thanks Jay, very generous of you. If more folks triple-watched our videos and dropped a tip, we could make twice as many. Cheers mate :)

[@jayst]

@@DJIVision I’m very grateful to have informative entertainment like this today :-) It is amazing that we live in a world where we can consume media that fits our interests perfectly at any moment we want. Thank you for the kind words Dr. Lava, and also for the amazing work on the new video. It was amazing!

David very clearly had a lot of fun with this.

[@cheeseisgood17]

I love these Metal Gear videos. The last one about the nuclear disarmament in MGSV was incredible, as was this one.

[@FightinggameJEMDS]

Amazing work, thank you for the amazing video!

[@supersmashbro596]

david hayter seems like a genuine fan of this series and not just an actor.

[@gameaddict09]

Amazing content as usual, and as always great to hear more commentaries from David Hayter.

[@I2ocker89]

I love this kind of content, especially for MGS, what a cherry on top to get legendary David Hayter to narrate

[@samuraijaydee]

It's great to hear David Hayter in action again! Thanks for the video!

[@yuffiekisaragi2242]

I love you guys so much. You make the best gaming videos. It's so relaxed and exciting as well. Love your research, your format. And whenever you bring MGS I scream like a little girl and then hearing David Hayter personally, you made my night and the next day even with that amount of energy and happiness. Thank. You

[@seiferleonheart]

Of course all the research and writing is incredible, but it's hard to not have David Hayter steal the show here. Thanks so much for the video, 40 min went by in a flash.

[@NeoNinjaX87]

Needed this just at this moment! Thank you.

[@ScytheJackal]

Looking cool Joker

[@kelevrakrew6779]

I'll rewatch it try to give you guys some momentum again! Great vid!

[@tslodemi]

My second time watching this video, was just as awesome. Love your content!

[@andrewhickinbottom1051]

As a big MGS and David Hayter fan, this was an absolute treat! Thanks for all the hard work researching, and extra thanks to David for narrating it!

[@bkslsh]

MGS2 is still my favorite of the series, and it's been absolutely wild watching the events of the plot all but play out IRL. Censorship, information control, government fearing loss of control, the internet becoming a walled garden...

[@deadmetalbr]

Social networks becoming methods of social control via dissemination of misinformation and incomplete, malformed opinions (AI-Rose: "No one is right - but neither is anyone invalidated.") and on and on. If we were really paying attention, MGS2 should have scared the shit out of everyone who played it. We were distracted by LOL WUT I NEED SCISSORS! 61!

[@Thollis1987]

Yeah that was wild back then!

[@DogstarGaming]

Great video !!!!!! Love the detail ! So many new facts !

[@DirtyMike124x]

Awesome video. Thanks to David for narrating, he made it a real extra special treat!

[@mrgreatbigmoose]

Thank you again DYKG! Thank you again David Hayter! I was ready to ask for more episodes where you narrate. But you've already promised more! I'm so excited! So thanks again in advance!

[@SerialK1986]

This was a fun watch, hearing David Hayter himself narrating this and adding his own interjections was the icing on the cake. The MGS fan community is doing a better job celebrating the series' 35th anniversary better than Konami themselves, lol.

[@NateF98]

It’s just so crazy to listen to David “Snake” talk about MGS. It’s like a super secret cutscene where you find out Snake was just acting the whole time. Thank you, David.

[@Shamax0]

Great to hear mr. Hayter, and thanks for all the research done, it was a great video!

[@SupaGema]

This video is amazing. Thank you so much for joining on to this David!

[@Trane434_mx]

I love these longer format videos, especially with how much content is in the Metal Gear franchise. So cool having David Hayter, the man himself doing the narration with ad-libbed bits of his own personal experiences. Keep up the good work and can't wait for more Metal Gear info!!

[@trelard]

Great video. Awesome commentary by DH, as well. As for The Wild Geese, this might just be a location thing, but it was a popular enough movie in the UK that as a kid in the 80's and 90's, you were still hearing about it decades later. Though now I think on it, I honestly think that's the first time I've come across reference to it since I moved to North America a couple of decades ago.

[@ArktikAlice]

unliked and re-liked the videos after your community post to give you guys engagement, you deserve every view for the effort you put in to preserving this history.

[@paulhiggins6433]

I absolutely love having David Hayter narrate these videos! I still get chills hearing him say "Did you know?" in Snake's voice. I especially love how he went off script and gave some of his own opinions on this. I'd love to hear an interview with him, and listen to him talk about his opinion on the plot and what not. I think it would be interesting to hear it from his perspective.

[@Thinker77]

What’s harder to believe? All these unknown facts coming to light? Or the Fact that the Legendary Solid Snake is narrating which makes some of us wonder if there is a hidden truth behind this video. p.s. Thank you David for helping out in this video. I could imagine Snake doing narration. Maybe the next video is DYKG: The Real Ending of MGS V??

[@LiFancier]

Well, they weren't exactly unknown, since they were told in all of those magazine and video interviews he showed. But all in one place, now, yes!

[@Maxim.Nazarenko]

This is like a documentary. Incredible work.

[@ScooterAKalldayy]

This is a golden KZbin video best of 2022 no exaggeration

[@the_pentah00k58]

We have David reading the lines for Revengeance's Snake Sword, now let's wait someone to mod it in

[@HaplessNerd]

Fantastic video as always! I really like Hayter's interjections about development. It's awesome hearing his direct insider take. And of course the star of the show is the amazing research you guys have put in. Thank you so much for the work you do!

[@DJIVision]

Thanks HN :)
