Metal Gear Solid 2 Most Interesting Codec Calls - Volume 1

[@abdulqudz89]

this game was and still is ahead of its time.

[@vincentvalentine9417]

+abdulqudz89 I know if it came out today it still would be very impressive

[@Americansikkunt]

Jesus Requena these codec conversations are still relevant. So, yes, MGS2 was ahead of it's time.

[@jensvide777]

No... We're there now.

[@kylegenaro4780]

Way ahead

[@josh18230]

A lot of people didn't get it because video gamers were mostly 12 to 15-year-olds at the time, Even at my age it is still hard to wrap my head around this story, and the MGS story as a whole.

[@JBXyooj]

it's funny that Solidus was kinda like the good guy.

[@wcimlovin9098]

+JBXyooj He wanted to destroy The Patriots

[@GoTELuckyCharms]

imagine Solidus as the Severus Snape of Metal Gear. In the end, he's kind of the anti-hero.

[@JohnnyDominion]

+Sam Felix More of an Anti-Villain.

[@GoTELuckyCharms]

[@javelin6831]

This game was ahead of its time. What the hell!!

[@CoolRainVibes]

"The overall system isn't complete. It still lacks the necessary factors for judging situations. I heard they were planning a major experiment in the next few days to provide complex data for GW to study, and suddenly all this happens." That is the most chill inducing thing to listen to after beating the game.

[@thinkingthoughts6079]

Very chilling.

[@AnakinSkywakka]

Big Slammo I apologize, but you think you can explain why it's so chilling?

[@CoolRainVibes]

Because the game IS the experiment. More specifically, the events of the game are controlled variables added by the Patriots to test whether they could manipulate an individual to reach a certain outcome.

[@CoolRainVibes]

When Emma says "and suddenly all this happens," it's the game's way of subtly alluding to the fact that the experiment is already being carried out and you're the test subject, but that probably won't occur to anyone who hasn't beaten the game (when the Colonel AI reveals the truth in the very last codec conversation).

[@ralpherl5657]

Big Slammo oh wow, I never thought of that. The Raiden mission def was the experiment then

[@MrJozza]

Damn, more than a decade later and still relevant. Expert storytelling. The panama papers, one source of uncontrolled information. I can guarantee the [patriots] didn't want that publicized.

[@linkskywalker5417]

Even the child soldier phenomena is still relavent, as well as the deconstruction of killing in general, even if it is for the good of all, and especially if one is forced to do so (the dead have names you know)

I was too young to fully grasp what was happening in MGS2 when I first played it. But now that I see it again, it's very impressive. Why do so many people say MGS2 sucks? *Is it their own "truth" conjured up in their pond?*

[@JesusIsELOHIM]

because you play as raiden not snake thats why people say it sucks

[@SamsarasArt]

Same with me. I played this as a kid too and back then I didn't like this game. But as I grew older and began to understand things from more abstract and surreal perspectives, I got that this game is a clever way for kojima to directly tell us about where human society is heading.

[@daniellogan9714]

Those people are out of their mind. Mgs2 is a masterpiece. Like dawg it's OD.

[@josh18230]

They mostly say it because of Raiden. The story itself is very layered and deep, but they flat out lied about who you would be playing as, even did palette swaps for the trailers to make it look like you were playing as snake in the scenes you were playing as raiden.

[@Sean-sn9ld]

Because they don't like Raiden.. I don't mean to insult anyone but if they don't like Raiden they probably don't understand the game

[@rickybulau2949]

It was this game that really opened my eyes to the greater evil running this country. I always had some idea that there had to be some clandestine group really in control. Crazy good, seemed pretty convoluted at certain points, but the game goes deep.

[@ohboi2119]

Bruh do you actually believe this in game conspiracy lmao

[@darthtiberius3716]

@@ohboi2119 are you dense?

[@1sdani]

Except the game's ending itself makes it clear that there is no clandestine group controlling our country, but rather our country is controlled by its culture and systems. The founding fathers created the rules of our country, and those rules continue to shape us just as we shape them. The election system and political culture of our country decide who will be president, elections are merely a method of asking our systems and culture who they choose to fill that role. What is passed by congress is not chosen by individual members of congress nor by the people of the united states, but by the rules of congress and the culture of those within its chambers. You accepted the convenient half truths the game gave you, and not wanting to accept facts that contradict what you already believe, you ignored what you were later presented.

[@apollo105]

it took me ten plus years to find out that the reason they say la le lou lei lo instead of patriots is because it has been blocked out of their brains

[@TheRealOzMuerte]

Actually I always felt the "la le Lou lei lo" was a reference to what Emma mentioned to Raiden, about how much information could be suppressed if there were originally 5 more letters in the alphabet than we currently have. Well, "la le lou lei lo" would constitute that, as it's essentially all the standard English vowels with the addition of an "L". With that there could essentially be another language within our language decipherable using "lalelouleilo" as a code/decode key, a kind of "crypto linguistics".... I wanted to see Kohima do more with this concept, but as far as I know he seemed to drop it. Imagine entire chapters worth of material from well known books like Moby Dick or The Bible that suddenly come into existence with the addition of "laleluleilo", or the same text but with an entirely new & different meaning to it once the codec is applied. ....Spooky stuff.

I don't think so. It can easily be rounded up as some conspiracy shit and that'd be the end of it. And it doesn't have the influence some singer or whatever would have on the masses so there's no need to "control" him or what he writes for the games he works on. There's no reason to separate from him as well. It isn't like it's a news company or anything. Actually, those all tend to be owned and controlled by the same groups or persons. Mass media, I mean. Their reports are written in advance by some company who has interests in lies and propaganda, and several (even dozens) different news reports will tell the same thing in the same way, sometimes even word for word (“This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.”).
