1:10:17 This is probably one of the most terrifying Codec calls for me next to the ones at the end of the game. The first time you listen to it, it seems like a simple background check that gives Emma's character more depth. But then you get to the end of the game and it is revealed that you've been talking to GW the entire time, a neural A.I that is incredibly advanced and has been designed with the single goal of global dominion, capable of accessing computer networks across the entire freaking planet. And yet it only uses a *fraction* of it's power to pull Emma's entire history, even the incident with her father and Otacon, and the only thing it is unable to ascertain is why Otacon left afterwards (since the reason was his alone). Now imagine the fact that this A.I has most likely already processed billions upon billions of people's personal information with ease like Emma's (who is an expert hacker and computer scientist that is more than capable of covering her tracks). Scary thought. The writing in this game is phenomenal to this day.

32:14 Damn Pliskin, getting a little touchy there, calm it down

[@jdhathrisen]

I couldn't explain exactly how, but this particular game still seems futuristic to me. As in, it's perennially a next gen game. I think it's the quality of the codec calls vs MGS1. The sound is still crisp, the avatars speak along with the text as opposed to static images with flapping jaws. Everything seems seamless, if you like. I watch this, and I'm still engrossed and in awe, nearly twenty years later.

[@christopherlazzz1926]

Played this game 20 years ago when I was in the 2nd grade. Blows my mind about how much of this dialogue I never knew existed. Also crazy is that how much of the game some of these conversations actually reveal.

[@The_Ninja_Tree]

Your channel is easily one of my favorite on the whole of KZbin man

[@natethegreat7967]

I got into Metal Gear *because* of George (though I haven't played any of the games since I've been spending money on more important things).

[@claytonhawk8512]

It didn't occur to me until watching this that the crew you see lying around the ship aren't Marines, but civilian crew members running the ship. That's why otacon says it only takes 18 people to take it over. The marines are only down below with the metal gear.

[@LorenHelgeson]

I've played this game so many times, and have not heard even a tenth of these conversations before. It's my least favorite of the series, but I do love the level of detail the game had. I was also pretty disappointed when MGS 4 cut out that character dynamic.

[@davidnavarro4821]

1:12 Holy shit! I didn’t know there were hints of Arsenal Gear and The Patriots in the Tanker chapter. I haven’t played this game in years and yet I discover something new about it!

[@paulgambro4264]

The S3 plan in all of its glory...

[@jdalbiac]

You can tell something is subtly off about the Colonel from the very beginning of the Plant chapter; he's colder and more monotone than Roy Campbell is in MGS1.

[@EstwofourSkate]

Sounds robotic !! I’ve noticed that as well

[@otherprisma7354]

I... I didn't even know there was more conversations between Otacon and E.E., how did I miss those?

[@usul573]

Yeah those are great, often missed, but those extra conversations are pretty damn good.

[@abdulqudz89]

no other game developer can match or surpass kojima's talent and his creativity. the amount of conversations and easter eggs you find in the metal gear games is amazing.

[@Onmysheet]

It wasn't all Kojima. The other guy wrote all the optional codec calls whilst Kojima did the story based mandatory calls and cutscenes. Kojima can't help himself taking all the credit when he's not that good when he's on his own. Look at the decline in codec calls in MGS4.

[@Snakeskin94]

@@Onmysheet here's a question- do you actively see Kojima taking all the credit? No, really, like in interviews and stuff. He's not sitting going "Yes yes it was me all me I came up with everything by myself." No dude- he openly credits his teams, any co-writers are listed in the credits; he himself has not taken all the credit, and it doesn't take long to research that lmao

[@mercury2157]

@@Snakeskin94 he straight up said Fukushima wrote all these, too

[@adrianthesnowkoopatroopa4810]

How is it that even with the codecs that I don't understand a single thing about like the descriptions of weapons and some objects, I still get pulled in and listen to the codecs?! Metal Gear Solid really knows how to pull your attention!

[@dyno017rhino]

Do you think the church bombing from Vamp's story is the same one that Stillman talks about in his confession scene?

[@fappe908]

Yes

[@Clocksmagee]

The church bombing was 5 years before the plant chapter

[@halo091]

It was black metal

[@DarkLink1996.]

It was supposed to be originally, but as far as I'm aware the idea was scrapped in the final version

[@johnsmith60]

So while vamp was under the rubble trapped stillman had faked his injuries due to fear

[@SirKattyCruz]

R.I.P the metal gear series. Watching these bring me joy, and make me forget that "metal gear v: phantom pain" is the last good metal gear solid game.

[@kwilliams5260]

Codec pings. Raiden: who is this? Unknown: call me Deepthroat Raiden: why are you called deepthroat? Unknown: ermmmmmmm *static* codec cuts out

[@migiplayz91]

41:36 fans kept using the term Cyborg Ninja since mgs1. So I guess Kojima made the term stick from it's popularity which is why people don't refer to them as the proper term "Powered Exoskeleton".

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

"Snake! Metal Gear is running the Navy!" _"Not the Navy!"_

[@merces47letifer4]

This game told you the media will control your emotions and you'll accept it. Well, that predicted the bloody future, didn't it...

[@DarthTwilight]

Now it's glaringly obvious, but media has been doing that for a lot longer than MGS has been around. That sorta crap has been going on in America since the 20's, and then really took off when they started using Cold War propaganda techniques.

[@netherwolf3012]

That goes back further then the 20's no? I remember propaganda being talked about with the Spanish American War in school(Yeah modern public schools aren't the best but hey, can't all be BS right?).

[@Fireok73]

Yep, he didn’t feel like an actual human being most of the time. Totally robotic responses without any humor etc. were cold and unsettling right from the start

[@lunarluxe9832]

28:30 WAT i thought it was a meme

[@TacticalBaguette]

I think it's pretty funny that the Kasatka has been featured in MGS2, Battlefield, Arma, and plenty of other games yet it's only just now close to actually entering service

[@ItsChevnotJeff]

I just cant get over how they act all serious about the Raven shadow, and never discuss it again when they find out it's just a figurine

[@SniperSnake50BMG]

2:53 that expression of snake is kinda.... Weird

The Colonel disapproves.

[@xXxChAmPoChOpxXx]

Άψογος George! Είσαι ο πρώτος που καταγράφει τόσο obscure codec κλήσεις από το παιχνίδι (για μένα peak της σειράς).

[@theonlybilge]

I like how you just used English words like peak which, after I looked it up, apparently corresponds to κορυφή.

Watching this video again two years later, I completely missed the conversation where Otacon mentions the patriots

Raiden: You're switching sides now? Snake: Switching sides? I don't recall saying I was in yours. 20:00

[@HopeyDiamond]

I remember most of these, my first play-through when MGS2 came out took daaays~

[@broden4838]

4:41 Crazy part about the incident Otacon mentions is that for a few months, Heathrow and all international airports in the US goes on high alert while the authorities investigated it.

[@Supdude.]

55:34 It's a woman's uniform, worn by a certain female member of the Gurlokovich forces

[@chrisreynolds2565]

Thank you for making this. It made my hour long commute much better, and convinced me to replay the metal gear series during this virus scare.

The end of your comment really puts into perspective how long the Corona-virus epidemic has been happening.

Raiden: *breathes* Campbell: I HIGHLY DISAPPROVE

[@LegendarySnakeV]

This is good, isn't it?

[@RickRacket]

10:17. Interesting. Raiden’s Nanomachines could heal wounds.

[@daisukegori2112]

The ending makes so much sense now. Roy Campbell would never call Snake a terrorist.

[@kh-freack]

So not to sound rude kinda really happy about this video just will you do the other games aswell? And if yes any timeframe we can expect them no pressure just asking cause i like these codec calls videos

[@DankRedditMemes]

Wow. Huge foreshadowing with the codec about pictures of metal gear and information and truth..

[@sockymonster9284]

If the year is 2009, and Fatman found an internet guidebook about assembling an atomic bomb, that means Fatman is probably at most 24 years of age...seems so wrong

[@judgedrew2076]

This game is 20 years old yet feels like it’s 20 years in the future. That’s how ahead of it’s time in every way it is. This world is not worthy of this games presence.
