Big Boss, who as the series progresses, manages to grow and grow in his monstrosity, has the game depicting the origin of the start to his downfall show him, finding comfort in cardboard boxes, geeking out over firearms, putting on funny camo and acting awkward and blunt in front of a baddie is such a gripping portrayal of how war changes people into the worst versions of themselves.

I'm fairly certain he was being disingenuous to Paramedic and Ocelot when he said his name is John. He pauses when talking to Paramedic and smirks when telling Ocelot.

[@lucasramey6427]

You're correct he's called John Doe because that's the name used for in legal proceedings where a person's name is unknown or withheld, anyone who knows him simply referring to him as jack as a nickname because they can't call him by his actual name

[@Childishxmarkeeloo]

I love that the only reason the ladder exists is to hide a loading screen for the next area. So they made long ass ladder. Meaning that the remake doesn’t need it but it’s required because of how popular it is in the mgs fandom

It was also to give players some downtime after the sniper battle with The End.

[@sanova162]

Nice coincidence: If you knock The Boss off her feet at the start of the fight and crawl ,you can find 3 white snakes in the flowers. To make this easier equip the motion detector to find each. One is named Liquid,another Solidus,and finally Solid. When you find that final snake The Boss should say it’s been 5 minutes and Snake eater begins!

[@deathzonekiller2261]

Wait, for real? I have to do this on my current playthrough

[@LunarSovereign]

Well, yes and no. Knocking her off her feet doesn't have any effect and finding the snakes doesn't trigger the 5 min warning. You can just get the snakes at any point throughout the fight

[@sanova162]

@@LunarSovereign I never meant for it to mean it to trigger anything. I said it all like this cause whenever I start the fight with The Boss she comes in for a cqc combo,so I knock her off her feet. After that I crawl switch camo and find all the snakes.,and by the time I find them all it’s been 5 minutes and the song plays! It’s more so a nice coincidence than anything but it’s always worked for me. However I do realize after making the comment that “fun:fact” is more misleading so I’ll change it to “nice coincidence”

[@miguelantonioreinacardona7109]

The most tragic thing about the boss is that even in dead she is still being used by other people just this time is by twisting her last words to justify their actions . Also she tried to left her will to the most unfit man . The difference between John and David it’s that , John doesn’t have hobbies, his quirks can be endearing but you can see that Big Boss Can’t operate outside of war . The guy can honestly be only happy in the battlefield .

The hack-and-slash nightmare was actually supposed to be a promo of an upcoming game, working title 'Guy Savage', but the game was cancelled shortly after MGS3 and before it ever got officially announced, hence the complete removal from subsequent releases.

This game SHOOK me as a child. A rare moment where a game made me feel extremely emotional and gave me much to think about after it's ending. Also it was my first introduction into a good, political orientation as a child. That ending was probably one of the rare occasions where a game made me cry or made me close to crying - others being To The Moon and the Telltale Walking Dead series. Still my favorite game of all time. Can't wait for Delta to come so I can cry all over again.

[@comradejet9373]

The funniest part about the jungles is that not only is the location called Siberia in the game, which is a mix of piked forest, tundra and polar climate, but the game geographically set in Uzbekistan roughly, which has a climate and terrain similar to Afganistan. So MGS3 should look more like MGSV. The cherry on top is that Russia alone and especially Soviet Union overall has pretty much every climate and terrain EXCEPT tropics.

[@cybersilver5816]

The location is not called Siberia, you just fly over Siberia while flying in low orbit. (In a blackbird pulling afterburner, with a drone that flew under its own power for an unspecified amount of time. The point is, Snake went very far, very fast) During the halo jump for the Virtuous Mission, the pilot informs the crew that they were over Pakistan, 20 minutes from the dropsite. Due to some geographical implications in dialogue, the region of Tselinoyarsk (which is what they call the area in game) might actually be located in Tajikistan, which was close to Pakistan, India, and Afghanistan.

1:11:08 The transmitter was planted by Ocelot in Snake’s back. The Boss shot him with a fake death pill to give him a way to get out of captivity. If you remove the transmitter before you escape, the Ocelot unit won’t be in the area before meeting Eva

I grew up with the Metal Gear series from the beginning to the end, from MG1 on NES when I was 8 years old, to The Phantom Pain when I was 34. I experienced Shadow Moses, the mindfuck of MGS2, and felt the tears at The Boss's grave all in real time. I've wacthed way too many analysis videos of the entire series throughout the years, and your coverage is hands down the most fun. I haven't even watched this one yet, but I was so stoked when it came up in my feed. Keep it up, please!

[@waddlecopter3139]

I just wanna say, this and the other two Metal Gear vids you made (but especially this one) are my favorite videos on KZbin. Not only do they do an excellent job at explaining the plot of the games in a coherent way (which is hard to do with a game made by our lord and saviour Hideo Kojima) and analyze the themes in a really interesting way, I can just tell how much you love these games. I can see the passion and heart put into this passion project on something that you value greatly. Thank you for making these masterpieces, they will go down as some of KZbin's best, at least in my eyes.

This game builds up Snake all throughout the game only for him to be deconstructed by the end. He's incredibly tragic

The thing with this series is that it gave me different forms if an existential crisis. The first game gave me the crisis of my genes. Who am I tied to, what am I tied to? The second game (Which was the game that introduced me to the series and I first played it at the age of 8) gave me the crisis of the future. I was completely new to the whole "Digital Age", so it made me concerned with what would happen later on in life (which, funnily enough, is going on right now). Then came this game, Snake Eater. This made me question who is friend and who is foe. Who is truly on me side, and who is just using me as a means to an end. Kojima really is a legend in the industry, and I wish he was able to fulfil his dreams of making movies like this series.
