Both sides are guilty of this and all they do is drag everybody down and devolve them into fighting one-another because propaganda commands them into what they ought to believe in. Since both sides are basically bad, they literally boost each other in order to justify their existence and actions. You can't pull your bullshit without a boogieman to deflect blame away to.

It's so sad to see so few developers adopt the philosophy of this type of story telling because it has so much potential. It may not be the most mechanically sound game in the series, but for the impression Metal Gear Solid 2 makes, it's unmatched and I highly recommend anyone check it out.

I inadvertently did play this game without saving. When I first played this game as a teen, it was on the PS2 and I didn’t realize that I didn’t have a memory card. So I began playing around 11 pm and by 3 am, when I realized I couldn’t save, decided to just forge ahead and beat the game. By the time the fourth-wall breaking began, I was genuinely delirious from lack of sleep and the impact of those moments were unbelievably powerful because of my mental state. As I beat the game, the sun began to rise in real life, syncing up with the end of the game. It was surreal and awesome all at once.

This is also one sin that should have been brought up, and it took me a while to really think about: if the GW AI copied Colonel Campbell's persona based on precognitive expectations and Raiden's own experiences, why did it back talk the novel "In The Darkness of Shadow Moses" even though technically the GW AI is suppose to follow the behavior patterns of the character it's using as a template? Campbell would never disrespect the novel that he himself approved since Mei Ling recorded all the codec calls and Nastasha wrote the novel. Also remember, the "Colonel" AI is still part of Raiden's own creation, and Raiden would never insult the novel that he read.

[@ap239]

I think the AI itself was not exactly how Raiden perceived Campbell

[@megumin1054]

Pretty accurate except for the why didn't snake help fight the harrier bit. You can't safely fire a shoulder fired rocket or missile like the FIM-92 stinger inside a helicopter due to the backblast hazard would flood the cabin with enough force to kill the pilot and destroy the interior.

[@guitardude125]

The arm thing. Yeah, so actually in mgs2 it IS liquids arm controlling ocelot. The arm is flesh and we hear his voice actor. This causes problems for ocelot so he has it removed and replaced by a robotic arm, BUT he also sees the potential for fooling the patriot AI, so that's why he doesn't sound like liquid, and why it's not even his arm anymore

My head cannon is the Tanker Chapter we play in game is Raiden VR. The different things shown in Snake's flashback is a major clue, while literally saying to Raiden "i doubt your simulations accurately depicted those events". PLUS, it changes. If you skip the Tanker and just do the Plant, the codec calls change to reflect that, and Raiden won't mention his VR right away.

You got the sin wrong depending of ocelots arm at the beginning. Liquid could take over ocelot BECAUSE ocelot is the son of the sorrow and a sort of medium, causing liquid to be "revived" in ocelot. As soon as ocelot became actually aware of it, he got rid of liquids arm and replaced it with a prothesis, causing liquids influence over ocelot do vanish. But ocelot thought it would be better to fight the patriots by imposing liquid anyway to irritate them. so he underwent hypnotherapy to became a real doppelganger of liquid. So everything in the games is actually right the way it is

I really wanted Vamp to be the successor to the Gray Fox program. Everything they've experimented with Gray Fox gave Vamp cybernetic and artificial human advancements, but the negative effects were he went completely insane and thus, thought he was a vampire. But all those extra components and muscles in his body that normal humans do not have, would've covered his ability to run on water and up a strut and would've even later served as a byproduct for Liquid Ocelot's Haven troopers, sourced from Vamp (their ability to stick on walls and jump to high places). The nano machines would've been the glue that held his highly enhanced body together. It may be pseudo-science, but at least it's something that could hold up to reality and science enough to suspend disbelief. Every extraordinary or inhuman ability being "just nano machines" was complete bullshit. If that were the case, why wasn't Naomi leaping over buildings?

This is the funniest sins video I've ever watched! Do MGS 3 please!

[@kurdtcoben]

#2 - What's so coincedental or strange about the US Military shipping something through US waters? #5 - At this point in time Meryl's survival on Shadow Moses wasn't canon and both possibilities had to be accounted for #6 - In a world thriving on conflict and war any and everyone who could afford one would want one #9 - You do realize that it's Ocelot we're talking about here? The guy who's "best friends" with every major player in the game? #10 - That sounded very much like a door or hatch opening and would be something an infiltrating agent would be alert to #11 - It's to assume he's not relevant to the situation right now, which is why he isn't mentioned #12 - kink shaming #17 - And that's a bad thing now! #20 - Because Ray was designed to destroy Rex (the model EVERYONE has now) which was superior to tanks #23 - At this point in time, this is NOT a sin. The retcon is, but it's a sin by the game retconning it. #24 - The demo for MGS2 (the tank chapter you mentioned) was used to sell Zone of the Enders as a pre-order bonus #25 - Raiden is (from what we know) the "baddest dude" FOX has at this point #26 - And what are you gonna plug that USB stick into when you want to look at the map? #27 - Just because it's old doesn't mean it's not currently existing #28 - Being sent on a mission that's identical to what you've been trained to do all life is VEEEERY suspicious... #30 - Yes, what you really need on a high-stress battlefield is something to keep you grounded and in good spirits, they're not arguing here she's trying to make him remember a happy day between the two #32 - I actually never noticed that, good job! One sin off! #35 - That was in Metal Gear Solid 4. In this game you can take up any weapon from the ground and use it. #36 - We all know who he is. Raiden is fooled by him. Where's the problem? #37 - The point of the VR missions was that you (Raiden) were Snake. So where would he have encountered Snake then? #39 - That was because before (and after) Snake was a proxy for the player. In this game, Raiden is the proxy. #41 - Infiltration, Weapons, Technology, Adaptivity, Stressful Situations, Combat Strategy. In short - everything an infiltrating agent, not a bomb expert, should know about. #45 - He never used those terms before, because before he never pretended to be a Navy Seal. #50 - Yes, because he's a megalomaniac that wants Stillman to show how much better he is in every regard. Basically, the ultimate fuck you git gud.

[@kurdtcoben]

#52 - Yes, because just ignoring the fact that someone, instead of giving in to your demands, is trying to foil your plans would be absolutely retarded if you're trying to be in control of a situation! #53 - Is it maybe due to the fact that she KNOWS he's not the real Solid Snake and only uses his name to fool the observers? #54 - As we will see in the end, THAT'S THE ENTIRE POINT! #55 - In MGS2 Vamp shows absolutely NO signs of wanting to die. That's in MGS4, where most of your references seem to come from. #58 - He bows forwards? #60 - This is just a visual metaphor for gameplay reasons. It's to be assumed he carried it on his body. #61 - Or he actually used it (to get to) somewhere else? Like get groceries or feed his cats? #62 - If you were fooled or not, Raiden was. Also, maaaaybe, just maaaaaybe it was not designed FOR her? #63 - And also the Codec takes the vibrations directly from your throat so you wouldn't be standing there openly talking, which anyone patrolling there could hear. #64 - Yes, because officially Olga is working WITH the bad guys. Her knowing the location is very plausible and her raising of the security could've been done to keep the facade up. #66 - I don't think he would be shot on sight but rather could not pass security perimeters. And if they would actually shoot each other due to very high security standards, everyone would be briefed and the whole plan would be layed out accordingly. #72 - Almost as if everything is going according to Keikaku for him, as we see later on (Keikaku means plan) #73 - To divert any suspicion away from herself #74 - The foxdie virus is completely irrelevant here since it's mapped to Liquids DNA and attack LIQUIDS vital systems. It's irrelevant to the arm and Ocelot. #75 - It's almost as if all he heard from the bad guys is all made up to divert attention away from the plan surrounding Arsenal Gear... #77 - Yes of course! A secret two-man team that operates secretely in secret should be known to everyone for their affiliation with each other! #78 - Solid and Solidus never met each other. Solidus was created way after Les-Enfants-Terribles, trained in absolute secrecy and aged artificially. The similar look to Big Boss is irrelevant. #86 - Or any investigative reporter, person working with ANY crew that was involved in the incident OR it was actually a controlled leak of information to keep the masses satisfied and misinformed? You know, what this game is all about? #87 - THAT'S BECAUSE THIS WAS INTENTIONAL! THAT'S WHY OCELOT IS THERE PULLING THE STRINGS IN SECRET! BECAUSE SHADOW MOSES, ZANZIBAR LAND AND OUTER HEAVEN WERE ALL RUINED BECAUSE OF THIS LITTLE, UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCE CALLED DAVID! THEY ARE PLANNING AROUND THE FACT THAT THERE WILL BE CHAOS INVOLVED! THAT'S THE POINT OF IT ALL! #94 - No, it doesn't! MGS3 contradicts MGS2 in MGS3, MGS2 in itself contradicts absolutely nothing on it's own here! This is about MGS2! #96 - The internet in our own timeline was meant to allow instant global communication originally. Then 4chan happened. Same happened in MGS2, it seems. #97 - Since you like to reference plot points from MGS4 so much: Outer Haven and Arsenal Gear were both marine control centers exactly for that reason. They would have the capabilities and reach to change things on the outside but be "unfettered by land and government". No outside influences, no considerable threats - a safespace within a safespace. #98 - I don't think that genetic relation was really the main requirement here... #99 - It's almost as if he's planning all of this...

[@kurdtcoben]

#101 - No. Raiden and the President were both standing parallel to the wall that becomes the cameras field of view in the next shot where Ocelot is show. Ocelot stood at a 45° angle to both of them. #102 - Yes, indeed. Very robotic and lifeless. Completely free of any emotions, like a machine! #103 - Or because Snake is just a kind human that didn't want others killed. Or maybe he had to keep up some sort of facade to fool certain onlookers. #104 - Yes we could just ignore all the vital character developement and underlying themes in those conversations because we hate Rose because it's cool I guess? #106 - Minimalism does not equate to complete rejection of a home or the lack of any personal memorabilia! #107 - Yes, because Huey actually tried to DROWN himself! And he wanted to take Emma with him because he's a sick fuck that deserves no sympathy. #109 - More like: "Our job was to act like terrorists to prevent terrorism, then we got unfairly labelled as terrorists but nobody would believe our true motives." #112 - She's grasping at straws to try and make sense of a situation that she absolutely can't explain to herself. #113 - Emma is a human being (with several traumata) and not just a line of computer code that has a pee-function! #114 - So you basically admit that before conversations could be overheard accidentally and that it was a good thing to use the Codec? #116 - Desperate times call for desperate measures. If you can ignore that you're deathly afraid of water to survive, you can ignore a few piss-soaked clothes. #117 - No it wouldn't, because a dead Raiden wouldn't answer his Codec call. However, this dialogue is terrible anyway, so who gives a shit? #118 - If you burn your hand on a lit stove and it hurts, would you keep that information from someone who's about to touch a lit stove? #118.5 - Comparing KZbins biased worldview and struggle to avoid any responsibility is not comparable to a strategic attempt on relevant censorship #125 - The virus is so complex in its goal that it HAS to consist of different sub-viruses that each attack different fuctions of Arsenal. It would be plausible that some of the vital ones got through the NORTAN(c) anti-virus and a system collapse could still be achieved if the right ones got through. So not a stupid question to ask there. #126 - "As a woman" was the same term used by The Boss which (also) had no sexual connotations. It was simply meant to be interpreted: "As a human being who's female". #127 - Somebody lost his sister and we're making fun about said sisters personal struggles, achievements, trauma and mistakes. This is why we need Bullyhunters! #128 - Maybe that's why he's such an introverted, weird, naive, scared, but lovable idiot. #129 - Pep talk is always supposed to be the truth and nothing but the truth! #130 - Yes, but Olga has to still get past Security Systems, Guards, Drones etc. Having the pretended reason of bringing in a high value prisoner is not the worst idea to sneak someone in. #132 - Unfortunately, there was lots of cut content there in the final game. Still sin-worthy, though. #134 - Someone who has emotional issues, can't keep relationships and tries to distance himself from any and everybody would actually be pretty shameful of themselves, especially with the self-loathing he carries. I can relate there personally. #133 2 - That's EXACTLY what's happening here. Snake cheats, simple as that. It's not even up for interpretation and the game openly admits that. #135 - Why is any of that a bad thing (sin)? #136 - I rest my case. #137 - I actually love this your statement so very much! I would give at least 2 sins off, if I hadn't already screwed up my counter-sin counter from the very beginning... :s #139 - These are mass-produced unmanned Rays, not the Ray from the beginning. Their intented use is to be unmanned sentries. #141 - Olga doesn't know the gender because the baby was taking right after birth, the gender is irrelevant to her message, the gender is irrelevant to us, it's not the least bit weird to say it like that, if this line of dialogue had forced Sunny into being a boy in the later entries I would have rioted! #142 - Nanomachines, son! #143 - Fortune is a soldier first and foremost, like her father. She values loyalty and obedience. Her order was not to kill him but arrest him for Solidus. #144 - Solid and Liquid were both flawed, biologically birthed clones with DNA alterations. Solidus was bred in a testtube. Also, Solidus was the President during Shadow Moses and I doubt they would knowingly unleash a superweapon that also targets their most valued puppet. #145 - That's the manned version of Ray from the Tanker Chapter that I was talking about. It's not connected to Arsenals network and thusly not affected by the malfunction. #146 - As I said before, the "random" coincidences were the main point to keep in mind for the execution of a failproof plan. #147 - Future, meta-level "retcons" are not a fault of the product itself. Also, please don't compare this masterpiece to the tragedy that was MGSV! #148 - Because you want to conduct further testing AND you have the off-switch in case anything goes bad. #149 - Not arguing with the technical logistics, but as you can see she's wearing a Navy-Design uniform so it could have been integrated there without her knowledge. And Fortune, as I mentioned, is a soldier. She would always wear a uniform that's issued to her.

[@kurdtcoben]

#151 - Because of the power of Arsenal Gear? Because he needs to take out their trump card first? #153 - I completely agree, especially regarding a point I will make later on. #156 - And a fucking cool one at that! #157 - I feel a very strong sense of irony right now as I'm continuing to type out this list. #156 2 - A Hideo Kojima Game (tm) #156 3 - But it was, though! I've mentioned some in-universe examples earlier and it's heavily implied on the meta-level with the player being misguided up until now and yet thinking everything is going according to Keikaku. It's not about Raiden in this context, it's about us - the players. We had certain expectations, a status quo and a ruleset we adhered to, only to now see we've been played because of our pre-conceived reality. We wanted to hate Raiden and idolize Snake, we wanted the same story over again and we blindly accepted everything that fed into that narrative. #Regarding 153: In the scene where, after you land the final hit on him, Solidus is falling off the building he's desperately grasping towards and empty flag pole. In the pre 9/11 version it featured the embodiment of all he held dear and was fighting for - the US-Flag. After he lands on the ground and climbs towards Washingtons statue, you can see a shot of Raiden doing a fancy, but seemingly random swordcut. This too was altered as before, Raiden cut down the same flag so it would land like a blanket on Solidus' corpse. It's a genuine shame all of those really poignant and heartfelt metaphors were altered or removed for a completely backwards reason. #161 - Evangelion is overrated, has no coherent moral and is nowhere close to the lessons we can take away from MGS 1,2 and 3. I will fight anyone to death on that! #162 - Snake does know that these are, in fact, dog-tags. He only uses the question to start a conversation about why Raiden is carrying them to religiously. #163 - Raiden also says this while throwing away the dog-tags with the PLAYERS name on them. #165 - Snake is not in the circle of people who know the gender of Olga's child. He's just making assumptions. #166 - While open-ended, this is in no way sequel baiting. The important lesson to take away from the information that the Patriots are long dead is that you've basically been fighting for/over nothing because you only did what you were taught, told and what you thought was right. But those that taught you these contexts have been gone for a century, don't have to live with the consequences and gain absolutely nothing from it.

honestly i think the logic of ocelot being possessed by liquid could have been made a lot better if perhaps ocelots arm was a prosthetic and perhaps instead of it being hypnotherapy it could be from liquid implanting a microchip into ocelot that contained liquid snakes consciousness

[@nunbuns7922]

From what I've heard he wasn't actually possessed, just acting

[@Gruntvc]

I vote for Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. My favorite MGS besides MGS1 1998. MGS2 had its good moments, but man was a slap in the face for Solid Snake fans.

[@homelesssheltervidlogg74]

I just realized something. Raiden is basically being held hostage and forced to do this, the codec looks like a gun pointed at his head…

[@leonardozarate2973]

1:46 at the time snake took that photo neither him or Otacon knew their transmission was being monitored, that’s why he later used the terminal as a safe way to send the pictures

1:16 - Meryl is mentioned in an optional Codec conversation with Otacon after defeating Olga. She also appears in the Snake Tales "Confidential Legacy".

[@productwholeslave2122]

As for me, I'm not even going to finish watching this. But if you go back and watch the opening scene, the Hudson River, two years ago, it should be obvious that he's been attached to the rappel wire the whole time; he's obviously been waking back and forth on the bridge for a while, as he may or may not know the exact time the ship would be passing by. The rappel wire is ALSO optically camouflaged. Like, wouldn't the error be that optical camouflage doesn't exist? Idk just saying.

[@frostsoul4199]

Just realized that the Russian general at the start is voice by the same guy who did the CrowFather from Darksiders 2.

[@nbtwall7287]

3:33 Gives respect for a developer and then sins it anyway. *ding*

[@parody-of-eve]

Hey Dartigan! I like this one but I cant help but point some things. Also, I'm just doing this for funzies and I got a lot of time. I'm not hating so don't mind it too much. 1:45 The special terminal was used because Otacon felt paranoid when he knew that someone was listening to their codec calls. Sending the photos of the new model of Metal Gear in that terminal was deemed safer, as he said later on how would Snake send the photos. 3:09 I can understand why this is bullshit, but Gurlukovich's army was able to take over the tanker without alerting the whole marines. Gotta give credit how he managed to sneak behind the commandant. 3:25 The Metal Gear Ray that the marines have it was said that it would counter all other Metal Gears in the world. If it's true, they'd be willing to take that instead of getting other Metal Gears in the market available lol. 6:16 I don't know about this but weren't the VR areas are neither day or night time? I just remember this about MGS2 Subsistence . 6:41 Vamp only has vampire attributes and weird powers, and so do other villains of MGS that have otherworldly freaky powers BS. It's explained by Snake that Vamp lost his family in a church bombing, buried underneath the rubble for two days, and fed on the blood of his family until his rescue, which is how he acquired a taste for blood. And for the name Vamp, Snake says that its's because he's bisexual. It's a nice play-on word that fitted well, don't you think? 12:26 It's a straw, sure as hell it reached to his lips lol. 13:13 You should already know how codec works in this game. Characters with Nanomachines and communicating without physically speaking. Digital telepathy in a sense. This is to avoid any information to be leaked out verbally, being cautious that they might be being listened to or even watched. It's safer that way. "Switch to nano-communications so no one would listen in" commonly used as the story progresses. Although the tanker mission someone managed to listen in to the codec of Snake and Otacon. Later on, Raiden talks to Ames via codec and Ocelot was pissed that he couldn't eavesdrop to their conversation. I don't know why Raiden wasn't captured there on the spot. 14:18 I know this is a joke, but, well, given his backstory why he doesn't talk about himself to anyone, specially to Rose. 18:56 Again, just being cautious. I'm sure the president isn't aware that the room was shielded from outside monitoring. 21:08 If the GW were to be successful to control the flow of information, and then some people found out its precise location to destroy it, wouldn't it be safer if it's within ARSENAL, a giant submersible warship that's armed to the teeth with nukes and missiles and filled with RAYS as a line of defense? Except for the program Emma made. 21:59 I doubt that the president would want to die in a slow death by a god damn electrified floor lol. Getting shot in the head might be quicker and painless for the man. At least let him have that. 24:04 What else are you gonna do when you're being hunted down by the US military because of what the Patriots did to orchestrate them for becoming terrorists? Also the death of their leader, Colonel Jackson, who died in prison and was charged for corruption that made the bunch mad. 24:22 Again, otherworldly freaky powers BS. 25:12 "Switch to nano-communications so no one would listen in" And again, just being cautious. 25:30 The incident Emma had would work on that. She already chose death lol 27:12 At this point, I have to agree on you with that. Big shell is already on evacuation mode (or already evactuated) and there's no need for codecs in this. 28:07 IT'S JAPAN! No need for explanation. Expect incest=wincest. Maybe it's THE PATRIOTS' doing. 28:38 Well, he did manage to save the hostages, so Otacon got you there. 35:34 No it's not. When Raiden was talking with Ames. Ames: What they plan to do is "liberate" Manhattan, pull it offline, and turn it into some kind of a republic. Hence "Sons of Liberty," I suppose. Raiden: "Sons of Liberty"...? 38:44 Did you just pronounce Evangelion's G with a J? Anyways, here you go. I got a lot of time so yeah. I may be wrong in some parts here so anyone can point this out. Just for fun.

Lots of stuff is sinned for ambiguity. I think it's stated that Olga was separated from her kid almost immediately. And the Metal Gear Ray they bring up with them on Arsenal gear is not the same model as the UAV's Raiden fought, it's the prototype from the Tanker incident which features the tail, and dosn't seem like it'll run without a pilot who has undergone VR training.
