MGS2 - Most Interesting Optional Codec Calls

[@manco4242]

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.

Because the ninja is a part of the simulation. If you look closely at this game and MGS1 this game is meant to mirror all the circumstances and events of MGS1 because Raiden has been VR training to be like Solid Snake and they needed to test to see if that training worked.

Dude you are a legend for putting all these compilations together.

[@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.

[@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

[@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?).

[@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".

[@StevenCodeBlack]

So the Arsenal Tengu soldiers basically are the same as the Haven Trooper frog soldiers in MGS4 they both even use the P90 Submachinegun and they have the same amplified artificial muscles that increase their agility. The only noticeableble difference in gane between an Arsenal Tengu and a Haventrooper is basically male and female. But as far as the weapons and attack patterns go it looks like the AI for them in game was set to the same algorithm.

[@siriusunknowncicerone6590]

Not only men become soldiers, even so for the women.

[@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

"Vamp was originally intended as a woman, and one definition of Vamp is : A femme fatale character in movies or books. The character is a woman who, while not necessarily attractive, has a certain allure (usually this striking, exotic, overtly sexy glamour), and is usually a heartless, man-eating seductress. The term is short for vampire, another term for a femme fatale. In drama, the vamp is the sexual counterpoint for the naive, wholesome ingenue character. The sultry lower voice of the mezzo-soprano is usually reserved for the vamp character in musicals or opera."

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@broden4838]
