"Started with a fairly grounded story." I don't know why people remember it this way. It was certainly not grounded. You had a magic psychic flying man making you change the control, butt based fact finding and cyborg ninjas taking out specially trained super soldiers. The series was never grounded, it was always ridiculous.

[@tinaherr3856]

Especially with the original MSX games (Metal Gear 1 and 2), where you destoy a wall via punching, and you hatch an owl egg so that it hoots and an enemy soldier thinks it's night. While in the middle of the day

[@LadyFrost117]

Like... I think is a Mandela effect caused by both the Twin Snakes remake and how insane the sequels and spin offs got, so by contrast MGS 1 does look "more grounded" when looking at the franchise as a whole, but yeah MG always had high concepts and fantastical elements ingrained in it

[@Spillow-C]

it was a lie for making mgs4 looking even worse than already is, he even said that the game is about stuff which is not about, the game is still about war, and how has changed with the proxy wars kinda stuff.

[@BullHorse33]

I tried to argue that it was way cooler before "V"enom snake was a thing and Big Boss simply survives the ending of MG1, cuz he's a badass, but someone replied "being the legendary big boss won't save you from a nuke" ... except yes, it will, because this is Metal Gear, not Arma. It wouldn't even be the first nuclear blast that he survives in cannon (virtuous mission??). This is a universe where cyborg ninjas, infinite ammo bandanas, literal ghosts, and vampires(nanomachines or not he's a fuching vampire) exist. So ask yourself, is surviving a nuclear explosion _really_ the most far-fetched thing to happen in these stories?

[@tinaherr3856]

@@BullHorse33 granted, the nuke from the Virtuous Mission wasn't the exact same as Outer Heaven. The one in MGS 3 was a Davy Crocket, a handheld portable nuke. A smaller blast radius and radiation levels that a proper nuclear missile, especially given its size. The Outer Heaven explosion, however, was the base's self destruction sequence, and could afford to have a larger mechanism. Additionally, the MGS 3 nuke wasn't aimed at Big Boss after he was carried away by the river, but at the research site further away. Meanwhile, Big Boss was *in the nuked building* while it was exploding, after getting shot/rocketed by Solid Snake and being defeated. Even by insane Metal Gear logic, it's actually more likely for him to survive Virtuous Mission than it is for him to survive Outer Heaven. This series is truly ridiculous

[@Kenshiro3rd]

6:36 No, that's Ashley Wood's work, not Yoji Shinkawa's. Ashley Wood provided the art for Peace Walker's cutscenes. He also did the art for the comic adaptation of MGS1 & 2... which were the reason he was hired for Peace Walker. PS Peace Walker's control scheme was adapted from MGS4's, as it came out afterwards.

To be fair. Wood did adjust his art style here to match Shinkawa's work a bit. Many of the characters look a lot like classic Shinkawa concept art, so I don't blame Gman for assuming it was Yoji.

Thanks for reviewing this masterpiece.

Peacewalker should DEFINITELY be included in a Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake if Komani actually goes through with it, it wouldn't even be very difficult to them to accomplish this. Minimal new assets, mostly just the bosses, no new dialogue and voice recordings necessary, and this will give A LOT of casual MGS players more insight of the events between MGS 3 and MGS 5.

This gameplay style was so fun and unique back on the psp. there really was nothing like it that fit the hanheld so well. The face button aiming was a little odd true and its grindy, but its really hard to appreciate a lot of the gameplay outside of the use case and time period if the psp. having a relitively deep 3d action game of this caliber woth a LOT to do on handheld was really something else. And it was absolutely packed with content that allowed you to go back to it a bunch since it was in your pocket. Unfortunately that can turn into more of a con now if playing it on consols. I still think the whole fulton system is a great innovation. collecting enemies that hep you to develop more stuff. A lot of the character interactions were pretty charming too. like Snake and santa. I was kind of disappointed that outside of millers hamburgers there wasbt much light hearted bonding stuff in mgsv’s cassetes. Music was great too, heavens divide is an absolute banger. it was super ambitious as a project.

9:38 this is character development through gameplay. on first playthrough you're badly equipped for heavy non lethal combat and just wanna save the world. but as you progress you unlock heavy non lethal weapons and the harder tank missions will teach you some japanese tactics. wich are usefull throughout the game to get all S-ranks. and once you've s-ranked everything and read all the motherbase soldier's dialogs you become truly immersed in the role of big boss.

[@BlindBison]

Peace Walker is my favorite PSP game ever made. The level of quality and the huge leap from something like Portable Ops blew me away at the time -- honestly it still does. Peace Walker, the Ready at Dawn God of War games, and Persona 3 Portable were games I played to death back then, good times. Regarding the games easy difficulty, much of that comes down to the fact that you’re playing the title’s remaster and gain access to a second analog stick. The game was more challenging on the native PSP since you had to aim with the face buttons and some of the controls couldn’t be done as easily on the fly requiring you to stop and take it slow or do a weird sort of claw grip at times for specific stance changes while moving iirc so it sort of reminds me of Kings Field 4 in that part of the experience is really built around those control limitations and those changed how easily you can interact with the game. The remaster with a second stick is indeed very very easy. Less so the original (not that I’d claim it’s an especially crushing game either).

It took me months to learn how to play the game. At some point I couldnt get pass the PTSD the torture chamber scene gave me. Everything about it feels so nostalgic even with my bad experience somehow I found myself playing it on an emulator on my phone(my psp got stolen in a church).

If you have the Fat PSP, it has the same Wolfson Brand Audio DAC as several Classic iPods. The Fat PSP is still pretty great

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH!

The best part about the co-op of this game is that you can share your inventory with your friends to the point where they can borrow your granades to trow them right at you.

The bullet sponge bosses that are balanced for multiplayer are most likely because it's aiming for the co-op hunting game market like the Monster Hunter, since it was a boom during the PSP era. I mean, it does have the Monster Hunter collab missions as well.

hell yeah

When i played this i only grinded for weapon development as doing missions is the only way to develop weapon. I completed a complete blind playthrough of this game with all things dome in 5 months.

Finishing this game on the psp with the damn single analog and right buttons as camera controls was some sort of an unique feel. Also the psp stock screen and its resolution made it hard af for some ops... This game is the only reason why I picked a used psp GO to dock it and play with a ds3. I also borrow my other psp to my bro and get my cousing with ppsspp and we play together

[@chrisarnold175]

Is this available on steam or another place? I can't seem to find it

[@dariusjr98]

I put a stupid amount of time into this game on the PSP/PS3, definitely in my top 3 for the series. MGSV tried to be an expanded Peace Walker in some ways but it didn’t hit all the right notes that I feel Peace Walker did, *especially* when it comes to the story.

[@GurnieDingo]

Would love to see a gman video on mgs5. I can't believe it's already been 8 years since it came out

[@undeadmaster666]
