Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty HD Cutscenes - Ending

Cutscenes from this awesome game, HD Collection version.

[@jonathanbradley4896]

The last 2 hours of this game was a mindfuck of epic proportions and the wildest ride I've ever had in videogame history. I will never forget playing it for the first time.

In my opinion no video game, no movie, no book or any other concievable medium matches the atmosphere of this game, and ESPECIALLY the atmosphere of the last two hours. No horror game has come even close to terrify me and creep me out as much those last two hours did.

You know the more I play this game, the more I truly do think this is the best incarnation of Solid Snake. He’s not as cold as he was in MGS1 or 4. And he truly feels like he has a personal purpose in the fight against metal gears. I really do think Kojima was right not making Solid Snake the main character, because he feels so much cooler here than ever.

[@JellyJman]

Snake was a real bro for that speech.

"We can tell other people about having faith, what we had faith in, what we found important enough to fight for. It's not whether you were right or wrong, but how much faith you were willing to have, that decides the future." -Solid Snake. Such an under rated quote. Truly awe inspiring

[@noctsickversus9632]

It IS classic literature

[@knightshousegames]

What I love about Snake's speech is how it's almost as meta as the GW codec call, but in a different way. He's not really talking to Raiden, it's Snake basically having a conversation with you, the player. Raiden was always a mirror for the player, but it's at this moment that the ruse is finally fully revealed, and Snake finally has a chance to speak to us directly about everything that happened. It's ironic too, because a lot of what he says is what the players who were mad they didn't get to play as Snake needed to hear the most, and it's like he's consoling them, telling them to find themselves, their own truth, to think for themselves.

After the Big Shell Incident Raiden made contact with Big Mama AKA EVA in exchange for the information to find Olga’s child. She also requested Raiden to locate the remains of Big Boss but was captured and and imprisoned at Area 51 where he was subjected to cybernetic modification surgery by the Patriots. Raiden was later rescued by Paradise Lost Army, who succeeded in acquiring the remains of Big Boss. They also recovered Solidus Snake’s body later using it to rebuild that of the comatose Big Boss, along with parts from Liquid Snake. Paradise Lost Army an PMC with that were war orphans formed together as an Anti-Patriot Group. After the skirmish in Eastern Europe, the PLA disbanded. But the surviving members of the later went on to join the Nevada-based American PSMC and formed a new outfit Maverick Security Consulting Inc. by member Boris Vyacheslavovich Popov and got most of the members work including Raiden. Boris and Sergei Gurlukovich were good friends back during the USSR. The rescued Olga’s orphaned child Sunny and Hal Emmerich adopted her. Sunny had attended school but because of the Patriots experiments on her, she was too far ahead of her peers and only stayed for a year. Thanks to Otacon's connections, Sunny began working for a company called Solis Space & Aeronautics, rather than going for a tertiary degree in computer science. 4 years later Raiden requested her help in getting him to Shabhazabad air base at Pakistan, in order to stop the Colorado senator and 2020 Presidential candidate Steven Armstrong whom at the time was believed along with World Marshal to be planning to instigate an assassination on President Hamilton. She aided Raiden by allowing him to use a Mach 23 RLV so he and his new friend LQ-84i renamed Blade Wolf could infiltrate the country and stop the president from landing there.

[@TehSkullKid]

This ending won't make sense unless you've had an honest-to-God identity crisis at some point. It's true that reality is objective, but the great thing about people is that we get to choose the way we perceive reality. Not the other way around. You are who you choose to be, not what you think you ought to be given the circumstances. Subjective interpretation of the facts as a way to guide your own moral compass and identity is a valid way to view reality too. It's necessary, in a way. That's what it means to be an individual: seeing things your own way regardless of how you were molded by your environment or genetics. Free will means the ability to recognize these factors and choosing to act with or against them. You can still think of yourself as a bad person, but if you choose to do something good, it's still something good, even if you believe it's only for selfish reasons. You are not a slave to what society, genetics, or your own mind say. You never were.

[@thrashmetalmatters4678]

I agree man, great honest way to put it. Haven't seen anyone else on here explain that it in a simplistic way like that. I've wanted to just didn't know the right words to explain that out because most people don't know or care what you just said. They should because that is what matters in life. Respect

[@paulallen2680]

But you are. Everything is based on what came before. Reality runs on cause and effect. I didn’t choose to have a short temper and I can manage it but that doesn’t change the fact that my temper is still the same, I just don’t show it. I don’t show it because my dad would yell at me when I yelled. My experiences and genetics influenced me. I don’t choose my wants or desires. There is a reason why twins who share the same genetics still act similar even if they were raised in completely different environments. There is a reason why an adopted son acts more like their biological dad than adopted dad. If someone was given the exact same decisions with the same experiences and genetics, they would choose the same thing every time. A person could grow a tumor on a part of their brain that makes a pedo (this happened to a teacher who used to be nice to everyone until a tumor was discovered growing on his brain). A man had a metal pipe destroy a part of his brain and it completely changed the man. Your brain picks and chooses what it wants to remember. You hear so many things yet your brain only picks up about 50% percent of it until you become conscious of it. Your emotions are controlled by your body, not you. There’s a reason why people become more agitated when hungry. How you think is determined by your genetics and experiences. Free will is just an illusion, but it’s such a good illusion that it doesn’t matter if you believe it or not.

[@Alex_YJ_Reed]

While I really like Revengeance, the dog tags scene makes me think playing as Raiden again is, in concept, a bad decision. The dog tags serve as a symbolic link between Raiden and the player. Throughout the game, Raiden represents the player as much as the player represents Raiden. And then, at the end, he holds this link in his hands and decides to discard it. He has had enough of being used as a pawn by forces beyond his control, and that includes the player as well. It's also the game symbolically telling the player, "you are like Raiden, too. Cast aside everything you were told to believe and find out for yourself what's important to you." So it feels wrong to me that we get to play as Raiden again after that moment. Then again, Kojima is partially at fault for this by bringing Raiden back in MGS4. Raiden's ambiguous yet hopeful future was also meant to be our own among but hopeful future as well, and now that parallel is gone now. But I can't help but appreciate the joke: people thought Raiden was lame in MGS2 and didn't like being forced to play as him, then in MGS4, everyone now thinks he's cool but aren't allowed to play as him.
