[@thomasecker9405]

To be quite frank, it does make sense that the legs would be the weak point of the mechs called Metal Gears. In order for such automatons to move as they do (along with any suit of armor, including plate), they need points of articulation, which we call joints. And those provide gaps in the armor that can be exploited, which we often see being done in history concerning armored knights.

These intro sequences are just gorgeous

[@CognizantCheddar]

I really feel like there should be more humorous foreshadowing in MGS3 and MGS:GZ to how the player-character is eventually going to be burned to 'death' by effing _hair spray._ Venom Snake, pretending to be Big Boss, died like a man. Then the actual Big Boss was defeated like the two burglars in _Home Alone._ Good grief.

[@bol4death]

F*ck now I imagine it its hilarious. But srsly tho big boss didn't die. He comes back in mgs4

[@mrmasky9783]

Even though i despised from the start how Venom the poor guy had to meet his demise he at least died like a good final boss that solid even had to use rocket launcher to take him out. But this one 💀

Interesting how different this was before the modernization, the translation and art choices. Originally it looks like Big Boss was designed to look like Sean Connery. Petro looks exactly like Albert Einstein and Snake looks like Seinfeld.

[@SorenDaein]

The events of both this game and its predecessor are both referenced many times in Metal Gear Solid. Some references are mentioned in the main story while others are hidden behind Codec transmissions. A classic example being when talking to either Campbell or Miller while under a cardboard box. Said references confirm that, in canon, Snake DID indeed use such a box for infiltration.

[@mr.battle20]

Of course. The cardboard box is iconic in the Metal Gear series. It's in Snake's blood. His father, Big Boss, discovered the life-changing euphoria of being in a cardboard box in 1964. He passed it down to his son, who carried on that proud legacy. Even when it baffled everyone around them. Even Venom Snake, Big Boss' decoy, followed suit and utilized the cardboard box during the Diamond Dogs era of Outer Heaven (circa 1984), much to the bemusement of Revolver Ocelot.

Vita is too old if it was remade on pc or ps5 you would have a point but the issue with remakes is that it wouldn't be possible it should be avoided alot of remakes sadly don't get a big blockbuster budget like with ff7 remake a title like this would get bare minimum and in some ways deteriorate the game while metal gear inspired a generation for espionage games it wasn't as influential as other games hit man for example

[@Ragitsu]

@@robwar1992 The budget isn't the issue here; the issue is how modern _Metal Gear_ games are bloated in comparison to _Metal Gear 2_ . You can bet your bottom dollar that any remake of this MSX classic is going to be filled with crap it doesn't need.

That picture of the Barretta M9 Double Action during the intro (92F is the civilian model) was the most well drawn thing I have ever seen 8-bit hardware achieve. It looks every bit as good as the same weapon stills in Resident Evil for the Playstation/Saturn. Here is what always bothered me about this game and the entire MSX/MSX2/MSX2+ Standard. Why didn't Sega ever attempt to get ports of MSX games for their Mark III and Master System? The Master System and MSX Standard share so many similarities it would have been easy to do. Can you imagine Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid for the SMS?! That would have been huge and given how Kojima felt about Nintendo a possibility. Damn. Addendum- "NASA Special Forces?" What? NASA does not employ military or paramilitary forces. They do not have spec ops at all. Are they supposed to be fighting aliens? Kojima must have meant NSA. Now they, do have special operations units just as scary as any CIA black outfit.

Hey, the MSX standard is not to blame for Sega incompetence. :) But what you said is mostly true. But much worse nowadays, for homebrew games. I just can't get why developers don't target both platforms to reach a broader audience. On the list of games that were officially ported (or targeted both systems since its inception), there are: 1) Good SG-1000MSX1 ports or multi-plaform since inception: • Bank Panic • Champion Billiards • Champion Kendo • Champion Pro Wrestling • Congo Bongo • Doki Doki Penguin Land • Fantasy Zone I • Galaga • GP World • Exerion • Gulkave • Hang On • Ninja Princess • Zaxxon • Zoom 909 2) Good SMSMSX2/2+ ports or multi-plaform since inception: • Aleste (aka Power Strike in the west) • Chuka Taisen • Fantasy Zone II • Golvellius • High School!

Konami was tethered to Nintendo at the time of SMS' relevancy on the market and third parties had to effectively swear allegiance to Nintendo if they published on the NES/Famicom, otherwise they had to outsource programming of SMS ports to Sega themselves (something Capcom did by the late 80s/early 90s). Konami also didn't want to lose revenue on a system that was overwhelmingly unpopular in the States and especially Japan, where the system was killed off as early as 1989. And "how Kojima felt about Nintendo a possibility" ? Kojima had nothing but admiration for Nintendo considering SMB was the game that convinced to work in video games and is a friend to Miyamoto. His only animosity was towards the shitty NES port of Metal Gear and the liberties his colleagues at Konami took with it.

Seriously? I Just start looking for walkthrough for mg 2,like walkthrough for mg 1 with timecodes and found that it was released 45 min ago?

[@Khonziel]

Haha nice coincidence! I hope you enjoy the video :)

[@filipinowhiteboy]

Out of curiosity, which version of this game do you guys prefer? The original MSX2 version with the realistic actor portraits or the ones by Yoji Shinkawa? Personally, I actually kinda like this realistic take. Mel Gibson as Snake would have been a decent choice....at the time anyway.

[@snake7686]

Original for me

[@mareklonestar7053]

I prefer Yojis portrayal of these characters by far. The realistic ones look very ugly to me in comparison. They actually look like parodies, which I know is paradoxical, considering those are the original portraits. Yojis art just fits more into the cartoonish story of Metal Gear 2. Also just a little nitpick: Snake looks like he is confused through the entire game

[@Dynaman21]

Kojima’s dream cast for the movie circa 1992 would have been a pretty star studded affair. Mel Gibson, Tom Berenger, Bob Hoskins, Dolph Lundgren, AND Sean Connery? You would have paid to see that movie even if odds are the Metal Gear itself is a stop motion puppet.

[@toooydoeur]

most definitely the 2nd option, idk how anyone could say otherwise

[@Vrabsher_-Supreme_Perhinther-]

The older ones have animations , the newer ones are just static images . I prefer the original ones .

[@jishi77]

I played on time with MSX2+... Very nostalgic...and first time I saw scripts in English. Even if I saw this at that time, it would not be helpful, because I played before learn English haha.

[@SonicTheHedgehog17]

This intro translation seems much closer to the official one Konami did for Subsistence. I approve.

[@Sinn0100]

Wow....I cannot believe how detailed this game is in some aspects. For example, during a transmitter discussion just before the fight with "Night Sight," Snakes favorite fan tells him some facts about his upcoming battle. Now, I have been a firearms collector my entire adult life and I have never heard of this weapon. Oh but it truly is... It is a Chinese made Norinco QSW-06 suppressed pistol. The gun replaced the old Chinese Type 67 for clandestine operations and features a built-in suppressor. The entire weapon is built around the suppressor and when used in conjunction with subsonic ammunition is whisper quite. When fired with said ammunition the only thing that can be heard is the action of the slide. That's not only terrifying but also an incredible feat of engineering. I hate tipping my hat to Communists for anything but they did a great job there. Now, I wonder if the pistol holds together after long-term use or is it made from substandard materials? Hmmm... Addendum- My God man, that guy takes like 50+ rounds to drop! Screw his stealth camo and crazy suppressed Chinese gun...I want his Kevlar. Oh and the group Fox talks about being apart of "Renamo" is very real.

I've been reading up on the people in the credits. We all know Hideo Kojima had a huge falling out with Konami and now works independently. I believe Isao Okada is still one of their senior programmers. Yoshihiko Ota is the principal of the Konami eSports school in Ginza, Tokyo. Kazuhiko Uehara is currently chief of administration and public relations.

Thank you for your videos man this is so helpful saw your Metal gear walkthrough too

Glad you like them! :)

Great walkthrough! Never would've finished the game without it!

[@MusiciaNegan]

Thank you for this! You got me through the game! I never got around to checking these out on the HD collection on PS3 but gave them a proper shot on the PS5 collection and loved them. That being said, how the hell did people complete these back on the MSX? I would not have been able to do them without a walkthrough 😭

incredible game from 1990!

They look same but un spanish versión look diferents,

Gray Fox looks like Tom Berenger and Roy Campbell like Colonel Trautman from the Rambo movies. Not sure who Holly is supposed to look like, Kim Basinger maybe?

[@Rizzawriter]

I wish they would remake this. Imagine Snake VS. Gray Fox - a key part of the MGS story - with MGS4 boss battle mechanics.

[@cameronbrown983]

I know the sound quality is different for known reasons. But I didn’t know eating ration sounded like what it sounded like in MGS1. The small things. Didn’t know the remaster was missing so much detail.

[@cameronbrown983]

I came to say something about Portable Ops. Yeah it’s sad cause it has Campbell, young Grey fox, and gets that “finally we can leave all the crap in San Hieronymo Peninsula behind” mention in PW from Kaz. The game just fits in universe well. The Sokolov ghost thing threw me off tho lol.

Funny how they change Solid Snake and all the other characters instead of their realistic look they changed to their more iconic design

Konami of America most likely didn't want the lawyers of the actors, actresses, and the next of kin of said actors and actress showing up at their doorstep for using their likenesses without permission.

Thanks! exited near the half point of the game without saving first... had to watch it on yt after that

[@barmbailey6934]

I like to picture, after Snake and Molly fly away into the sunset; A Cipher crew along with Zero shows up to the destroyed remains where Metal Gear D was. As Cipher begins to scan for any electronic pieces that might still be in tact; a low gurgled moan is heard behind one of the soldiers to where Big Boss's body is. As Big Boss lies there burnt and helpless, one of Zero's men, attempts to finish him off with a single shot from his AR. "STOP!" ( As Zero lowers the rifle with his left hand.) The Cipher, soldier looks slightly confused as he stares back at Zero and then quickly obey's. The old Patriot, slowly walks towards his former comrade who is just hanging on by a thread and vision blurred as his face becomes clear. "Hello... Boss." (The man produces a syringe of sort.) "It seems the Inferior One was tougher than you thought." (Big Boss attempting to clarify his words are only meant with painful mumbles. "Yeah I know.... the Gene R&D is still incomplete. I read your files. But that's not even the tip of the iceberg. it has come to my attention that your needed now more than ever. The world needs more of Big Boss and I'm not just putting that literally." (Out of his pocket, Big Boss reaches for a hidden Makarov and attempts to raise the gun at Zero. Immediately, the former comrade, walks out of line of sight and injects him with the life sustaining substance of Nano-Machines.) "Sleep.... I'll take the wheel from here." (Zero's voice fades.)

One problem. Zero is incapacitated at this point

Had Konami not been... well Konami, Kojima could've remade the first two games and fleshed out the story more.

It's a nice walkthrough, but besides the English patch, it would be better to also have applied the turbofix patch and have run it on a MSX Turbo-R. It's a much smoother experience. :)

[@TheRiddimselecta]

Was those graphics running on an 8-bit or 16bit system? Either the way, it is such a beautifully made game. The music really got me into it too lol

[@misterhunterbelmont5053]

If you noticed, in the MSX version of MG2: Solid Snake, all characters have the faces from actors of Hollywood, for example, Solid Snake have Mel Gibson's Face but in the HD Collection and Master Collection, for evade the copyright, was redisigne all faces of characters from 0, that is why Solid Snake looks identical in his own version of Metal Gear Solid from PS1.

[@joaopedroformozo6555]
