The episode you've all been waiting for is finally here.
A video that will undoubtedly confuse you even more about the convoluted world of Metal Gear Solid 2. Prepare yourself for a sarcastic and hilariously misguided attempt to explain this mind-bending game, all while maintaining an impeccably British demeanor.
Join us as we embark on a journey that defies all logic, sense, and perhaps even your sanity. We'll be taking you through the twists and turns of Hideo Kojima's masterpiece, except I don't know anything and will likely give you all of the wrong information. This is not an essay on the true meaning behind Metal Gear, or diving into the mind of Hideo Kojima. This is me, a dipstick who played a video game thinking he understood it and is then passing that information on, badly.
Covering all of the good stuff in this one, the Tanker with Snake, the Plant with Raiden, AI Skynet nonsense, Otacon's weird family, and more.
Sit back, relax, and let the British sarcasm flow as I attempt to summarize the indescribable absurdity that is Metal Gear Solid 2. I guarantee that by the end of this video, you'll be scratching your head in both confusion and amusement.
Note: This video is meant purely for entertainment purposes and should not be taken as a legitimate explanation of the game's plot. Have a sense of humour about yourself before you start correcting me on everything I got "wrong."

My grandma really did love watching me play MGS 1-4. Haven't done 5 for her but she loves action shit

[@matthewgubbins8515]

That's really cool

[@chadgrov]

I hope this is true. should really play 5 already.

[@pgr3290]

MGS2 is when Kojima went completely off the deep end. There is absolutely some important and relevant messages in this game, but it is also so insanely convoluted it feels like he needed to put a massive twist every other page of the script. It was unhinged and he needed an editor. Literally every other cut scene was: "Ahhh, so you thought it was X telling you what to do? Hahaha no! It was actually Y in control!" Then the next cut scene 20 minutes later was "Ha, they told you it was Y in control? ACTUALLY it was really Z all along you fool!" Then 15 minutes later: "Z? Z is nothing! We did it and it was our plan all along!" etc lol

[@JonnyOgg]

It was our plan all along! Then Z gets possessed by a dead clone and fucks off

[@DaveMarx-te2rs]

And then the camera pans to a graveyard. Subtitles speak for the dead.

[@DanishThePenguin]

So the AI got pissed off with humanity because it spent too much time scrolling through Reddit XD

[@akversus]

Pretty much, at least Reddit has more conversation to it. I stick by Twitter and people clogging up hashtags with Kpop fancams and links to OF accounts.

[@adamantium4797]

Fatman appears roller blading with a glass of wine, this guys mid life crisis seems like a blast...that made me kinda loud looool. And when u sing the snake eater song when Emma and Raiden go down the ladder LOL

[@glenben92]

"that's an odd name" hahahahahah absolutely howling

[@PerfectBonzo]

A few notes: Fortune has the heart on the right, Olga has a boy, not a daughter. Snake managed to stick a tracker on the MGR before to loose it and it is NYC, nobody cares about weird s…t there, it’s the normality XD

[@FroggyBoi_Productions]

Correct on everything except that Olga definitely has a daughter not a son. Or did you forget all about Sunny from MGS 4.??

[@davidmandel8960]

9:38 No! That is NOT "No! That is NOT Solid Snake!"

[@nathanstruble2177]

Most convincing and accurate MGS2 story so far, and also my grandma did become British when I made her watch it, what sorcery!!??

[@CSWRTH_M1R463]

You're the version of Max0r who takes his ADHD medication regularly

[@akversus]

I don't know who that is but I'll take it as a compliment 😂

[@CSWRTH_M1R463]

@@akversus haha it is meant as one. And to answer your question kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4Wkkpmqdt2isJY

[@akversus]

Ah nuts, he's already doing this gimmick and is way better than me at it. RIP my career I guess.

[@CSWRTH_M1R463]

@@akversus No!! There's nothing wrong with ppl having similar ideas. And as I said you're like "the version of him who takes his meds" meaning you have a recognisable calmness while still being funny while Max0r heavily on ADHD editing. Which isn't bad but can get tiresome. Keep doing what you're doing. You're on to something.

[@akversus]

@@CSWRTH_M1R463 Thank you! This comment means a lot. :)

[@naktawi]

When i finished it i was so confused and didn't know what just happend

[@omarabdulkarim356]

This was hilarious! Subbed :)

[@AzureViking]

I just finished MGS2 for the first time and I was not prepared for the Otocon and his sister used to “play house” and he dicked down his step mom driving his father to commit suicide reveal. This was a far more for shocking reveal than the political conspiracy and existential gibberish lol

[@someguyfromhere]

I played through MGS2 for the first time last week. I actually restarted the game shortly after you meet the President because I was so lost in the plot that I couldn't make sense of what's going on. I understood it a *little* better on my 2nd playthrough, but ended up disappointed because the game goes so far up its own ass that I thought I was missing something - turns out I wasn't. And that was my realization after watching a few "MGS2 Explained!" videos. Still enjoyed the game quite a bit, but it definitely could have had a little more restraint. Because all the plot twists inside of plot twists got a little too silly for me.

[@catlinkerswell3696]

Dude this is awesome. Great video. I wish youd come back and do more metal gear.

[@PhilBurnell-bt4bj]

Looking forward to part 3!

[@enchantedboss1468]

They actually did have a cutscene of arsenal gear crashing into manhattan but it resembled 9/11 too much so they had to cut it. Another scene similar to that was also cut, it was raiden cutting down an American flag that would fall onto solidus after he fell from the roof.

[@lzrd00d5]

Fortune wasnt shot in the heart bud

[@har.19]

Amazing 😂

[@MrSebastianBlake]

Wow this was good 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@evatroniclover0026]

P L E A S E do metal gear solid 3 I am begging you.

[@rawfiul.]

that was great

[@terrancedavis4851]

Do mgs3 and 4. Whole series actually😂 u can probably do this for many games, but warning to people these videos hit better when u've already played the games. The games story is absolutely marvelous but these over simplifications make it absolute comedy. Im sure same thing can be said for even the best stories or movies if they were over simplified like this.

[@confucamus3536]

This story is more insane than Gundam Wing. Just over the top betraying the betrayer who betrayed the betrayal of the betrayed who the betrayer was betraying

[@halopvphq8772]

I’m so happy to se this video I would love to se. a vid on kh re chain

[@akversus]

I've started a KH2 script, I wanna include Chain into there if anything. I can't see myself getting a lot out of the side games.

[@PhilBurnell-bt4bj]

Hope to see MGS3!

[@joshuaalvarado5169]

Make Both MGV Ground Zero+ Phantom Pain 🦾🦾🦾

[@akversus]

I'm dreading the day I get around to Phantom Pain. I have a tendency for being a kleptomaniac in that game and get easily distracted from my main objective. 😂 It's definitely on the to do list.

[@HypK799]

You have made me extremely glad I never got into this series.

[@akversus]

I'd say you're missing out but sometimes it is a little too convoluted to follow. Maybe worth a shot one day?

[@tylerjames0229]

You’re definitely missing out

[@franksavage8031]

You should have more followers.

[@akversus]

Thanks Frank, I'll always encourage others to share the videos out to their friends or Reddit or wherever else that'll help reach more people. Hopefully more follows will happen with time. :)

[@SamuelGrguric]

excuse me, but what?

[@mococaboy17]

i hated the series after metal gear solid on ps1
