The Beginner's Guide to the Metal Gear Series

[@eggy7346]

Recently played 4 again, and it's still one of the greatest games I've played

[@KayJulers]

I have a nostalgic attachment to MGS4 since I didn't own a PS3 and had to beat the game via a hotel PS3 lol. I really love how it wraps up everything for the entire saga.

[@thescorpion2758]

@@KayJulers MGS4 is the worse one for me, maybe I'll have some renewed appreciation for it once the port for modern systems comes out and I can replay it but that story of it but you beating it at a hotel is hilarious lol. Where were you on vacation?

[@ISpoonmanI]

​@@KayJulersI had a similar experience my first play through. I didn't own a ps3 and had a friend from out of town staying over the weekend for some event. So I was like any chance you can bring your ps3, he did and I rented msg4. Stayed up 24 hours and beat it in 1 sitting, bloody great experience.

[@CracAintWack]

My PS3 is unrealiable. Sometimes I can play it for hours then other times I can't even beat a Clank level in Ratchet & Clank Future A Crack In Time This also makes me angry as I have MGS4 and actually want to play it

[@shadowsnake3867]

​@@thescorpion2758 I don't think it's the worst. It was just Kojima trying to wrap everything as he was ready to pass it along so he put so much cutscenes. It won an award for having the longest cutscenes. The worst one was the twin snakes for being too easy with fancy graphics. The original was clunky and it has tension as mistakes is quite punishing.

[@Scorp_thedemon]

Metal Gear Solid 3 for the 3Ds was the very first metal gear I played too! I played and beated it so many times and became a huge fan of Metal Gear

[@keihanma7026]

I never get to experience playing it on 3ds, I played on PS2 mgs 3 subsistence and when I saw mgs 3d it has that one added pack feauture that I wanted "the crouchwalk" and made me realize that 3d is way more easier than snake eater or subsistence. Try playing it in ps2 you'll get frustrated haha

[@NeoMoonSevin]

Great video! Just picked up the master collection and am going to just do 1-2-3 in order because I don’t think I’ll be able to look at the PS1 graphics after playing through snake eater first haha

[@F3AR0FGOD]

I was LITERALLY thinking the same thing

[@liamconverse8950]

It looks better on a real PS1 on a CRT. I even think the Legacy collection on PS3 looks better than that somehow.

[@caynine29]

I agree 100%. Metal Gear is the greatest (IMO) video game series of all time. As a bit of an "Old Snake" I started out as a kid back in '87 with the first Metal Gear when a friend who couldn't beat the game gave it to me to try and I haven't looked back since! So it's always cool to me to see younger generations discovering it. And you did an fantastic job in expressing what makes the series so great. EXCELLENT video, man! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 "You're pretty good." 😉

[@KingCrimsonRequiem336]

I love how widespread the audience is in Metal Gear, you have people who started when the first game came out in 1987 like you, and me, a kid discovering something new.

[@nicholaskerr3951]

You couldn’t have picked a better time to release this video. This is exactly what I was looking for after the Nintendo direct. Thanks!

[@NeoMoonSevin]

Nintendo showcase, ubisoft showcase, gay station showcase and the capcom showcases were all garbage this year garbage games 97% of them combined pure garbage

[@Seiryuki2002]

My personal recommendation for order of play is: 1. MGS1 2. MGS2 3. MGS3 The reason being that MGS1 has a great starting point where you don't need to know anything of the past in the story or gameplay. Starting with MGS3 may be a great way to make someone an MGS fan, but I think MGS1 also does that....and more. You see, it's easier to start in order of gameplay/game-creation than story, especially for the MGS franchise because of the gradual improvement to its gameplay from MGS1 to MGS2 to MGS3. A new person may have some struggle to adapt to with removed control elements if playing in any other order. There's also the important argument of past game references, nods, and easter eggs, which feel sooooo good when you get it. For example (spoilers) Raiden's mask and the conversations on it in MGS3, or Ivan from MGS3 and the comments by The Boss. Or, TIME PARADOX in MGS3. (end spoilers) What do they mean?? Of course, it feels so amazing in your chest when you pick up on these references after playing the previous entries in the franchise. These things were designed this way by Kojima-san and I think it's the only true way to fully enjoy the series, and any other way means you're missing out on the great feeling of experiencing those Kojima-esque secrets, commentaries, references, &c. Just my personal thoughts, coming from another MGS fanatic. Great video. I agree with a lot of things and it's so exciting to see my most favourite game with my most favourite Snake being remade in Delta and with the same voice acting performances. (I probably would have ignored the game if there were new voice acting. These people's voices are a part of my memory and life while I was Naked Snake and to hear anything else would mean I'm in a different universe.)

[@Seiryuki2002]

Btw, I think the MGS2 and MGS3 in the Master Collection will have to have different controls or else it will be basically unplayable on the PS5 with the original controls. That's because the PS2 and PS3 controllers' face buttons were pressure-sensitive. That hardware feature was removed in the DualShock 4 and the DualSense. PS2/PS3 Controls: Press lightly on square to aim. Release square to not aim. Press lightly to aim and then press harder to shoot. Controls impossible on PS4 and PS5.

[@the1abstrakt]

Damn MGS is the Star Wars of gaming

[@406ABarBs]

You did an incredible job on the video. I've only played Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain. I loved both. I'm really excited for the Master collection now.

[@KayJulers]

Thank you! MGSV plays like a dream and is probably the best playing stealth game I’ve seen. I hope you enjoy the others when you get the chance to play them.

[@Jizzio]

Man your in for a ride. I've played all except the first two metal gears and the PSP games. I recently got a hold of 3 android emulators (EPSXE, AETHERSX2, PPSSPP) to replay them all and finally play MGS:PW. Then I found out about the ps5 master collection. can't wait 🤩

[@SaturnBlade]

I never really got the hate. I can get the voice acting for twin snakes but like the action sequences they're just cool to me. I never got the oh it's over the top like the mechanics's game was borrowed from didn't have a man walk on water and woman who stopped and veered ballistics off their course without technology, not to mention the several other things that series that are just way more unbelievable. Like the games are full of unbelievable moments.

[@jonathanmikarui8931]

"You started with Kingdom Hearts 3?! Did you see there's a 3 in that name??" ... 15 mins later .... "So MGS3 was my first game in this series" lmao

[@AnthonyBC93]

This is an absolutly fantastic video. I am currently playing through MGSV and I am having such a great time. I just hope that Konami finds a way to remake MGS4 for PS5, I love that game. Give me hope thinking the master collect is titled volume 1. Maybe a volume 2 with Peacewalker, Portable Ops and 4. Rising would be cool too :P this is a series that deserves to be re master on every console generation. They cannot be forgotten. But personally I do not hold Raiden on the same level as Solid Snake and Big Boss. Those two are so iconic

[@KayJulers]

Thanks so much! I went back to play MGSV a bit for some footage and I forgot how smooth and fun that game is. I think that's the lineup we could see in Volume 2 or perhaps V swaps in for Portable Ops. Either way, it'd be great to have the series made easily accessible for a new audience!

[@ZiKi.1705]

My headcannon is that TwinSnakes is a re-telling for MGS events by Otacon... since he sees Snake as a superhero, his actions in the game wouldnt be too out of character :)

[@arfanik9827]

I think this is a good way to see it. Not the first time I have thought of something like this in media actually. The Legend of Zelda could also be explained in a similar way; the games have different artstyles, but the locations are the same, but also not quite exactly. There's legendary characters that make appearance from one game to the next à la Final Fantasy. Link is a very "blank canvas" of a character, so people can self-insert. It really feels like you're playing through the re-telling of a Legend, rather than a objective and factual story.

[@wyatthoovee5306]

[@songsan807]

[@Nazusarum]

This series has been following me throughout my youth (MGS 1-5), and no other game(s) has been able to blow my mind again, and again like these masterpieces. I am so thrilled about a MSG3 remake, as it was/is one of my ALLTIME favorite games. Only competing with stuff like Final Fantasy VII, IX and X. (besides the other games in the MGS series, ofc) Truly hope some people who never experienced these games with be inspired and motivated to give them a try.

[@NeoMoonSevin]

the only thing i can thank this garbage series for is how some of these kojima theorys ended up coming true many yrs later the rest of the series is garbage except mg revengence the rest can die along with shert engine used to make this garbage series

[@JuanJohn-Raytheon]

Intresting fact. Metal Gear lifted so much from Escape From New York that John Carpenter was going to sue Kojima. But after meeting the MGS representatives he decided not to because they were such nice people.

[@KayJulers]

I remember reading an article about that and it's just so crazy to think about.

Technically, i started with the msx original in highschool cause i found a website that emulated games, but I actually started with snake eater subsistence when a show called smash bracket(highly recommend, they’re doing an episode on shulk and rex/aegis) hired me to voice snake so I did my research. Rest to say I loved it and I can't wait for delta

Snake doesn't have a voice in the msx games. That's clearly not what I was referring too.

Aye, nice! Hopefully if the Master Collection adds MGS4, you'll have the chance to finish the main 4 solid titles. The other Metal Gear video I've been sitting on for awhile is an analysis on the ending to MGS3 since it's my favorite moment in any piece of media, so I'd like to cover that at some point.

I feel like this video has so much effort put into it that it doesn't deserve only 30k views. I wanted to dive down into series from a long time ago, but the whole order seemed very confusing. You helped me to sort out.

[@Beetlejuice_Sam]

I actually started out with Twin Snakes since I never own a Playstation until this year but still had access to a Wii/Gamecube and getting it at a used game store for $60 was the best decision I ever did. And I actually beat 3 for the first time on the 3DS and I actually prefer that version due to the crouch walk and don’t mind the framerate in some places since it can work in your favor in certain parts. Plus, having the HD collection and both V games on 360 and also Rising was another great decision since I still had a 360 at the time. Very excited for Delta (but nervous as well since it’s my favorite game of all time) and also see what surprises the Master Collection will have going forward after the recent announcement

[@RugsterClaps]

Twin snakes gets too much hate. It was the first one I owned too being a Nintendo guy. Played the original at friends houses though

[@darthgapher787]

Just want to say even before this video your the reason I got into Metal Gear Solid. It was hard to get into at first but simply just teaching me the slow walk in MGS3 mechanic completely changed how I played the game. Thank you for getting me into this wonderful series. MGS3 is probably just my favorite game at this point.

[@mrdabrow]

You could also get the GOG copy of Metal Gear, which is a port of the MGS3 version instead of the DOS version. I would also recommend Twin Snakes only for someone who is already familiar with the original, as the over-the-top action is inconsistent with the rest of the series, which never goes that far.

[@MrMarcyrock]

Exactly the video I needed. Thanks mate, I will rewatch again in the future. Also great communication! :)

[@liamconverse8950]

I played 1, 2, 3, Peace Walker and then 4 on the legacy collection on PS3 over winter break one year and then ground zeroes and 5 rafter it came out a month later. That was peak MGS enjoyment. And actually the real issue with Twin Snakes is it doesn't have the original music, but there is a ROM hack out there that fixes this.

[@survivorttype]

Great video that kept me watching all the way through even though i've been a huge fan of the series for years! My first mgs game was mgs4 which i picked up in a shady second hand electronics store and as you can imagine i was so confused yet intruiged i just had to get to the bottom of it all and play the rest lol. Definitely the best thing i couldve done, this franchise is so dear to me and im glad there's still new videos like this coming out! Can't wait for mgs delta, i have high hopes i must admit :))

[@KayJulers]

Thanks so much! If you were able to start with MGS4 and it got its claws in you, then you were destined to be a MGS fan haha. MGS3 was the game that showed me how deep and involved video game narratives could be, and is honestly a big reason why I started making content in the first place. I'm also really pumped for Delta, so here's hoping it meets the high bar!

[@Sporquill]

thank you for this video, I'm not sure by what magic the algorithm gave it to me, but i had been subconciously looking for this for a while!

[@rn6312]

The best part about Snake in any game is that he answers questions with questions. And they really need to remake & release MGS4 & Peace Walker to PC.

[@BladeOpotato]

One of my favorite series ever made, and fantastic introduction video for newcomers to the series! Incredible work!

[@LordGrim1313]

Stealth gameplay was actually innovated by Castle Wolfenstein in the early 80s. Also highly recommend starting with the 8 bit msx games. They are simple enough you can beat them in a few days and they give you a better appreciation for MGS1 when you play it.

[@blank1873]

18:10 so an elite group or soldiers with special powers that explode upon death isn't crazy but solid snake backflipping to dodge a bullet is too far? 😭

[@Gaz66d]

So, I said this on a different video- and I think it deserves to be said here- since you mentioned Metal Gear Solid (PSX) and Twin Snakes (GameCube) as possible jumping in points as a way to start the series. I would also like to submit Ghost Babel (Gameboy Advance) with one HUGE caveat… None of them are truly the Canonical (historically accurate) records of what really happened during that period in Solid Snakes timeline. Think of who is the narrator. One of them may be narrated by Snake, or Maybe Occelot. One of them is being told from Otacon’s (heavily anime inspired action setpiece) ideas of what Snake did to take down the Hind and what the Ninja fight on SOUNDED like from his piss soaked spot in the locker. And the other is the Ai generated and heavily doctored and recontextualized version of Shadow Moses that Raiden played through, with all references to Liquid Snake, Les Enfants Terribles, Occelot, Meryl, Otacon, AND OF COURSE FOX DIE… all conveniently left out in order to “brief” Raiden of what they need him to believe really happened in Shadow Moses as an “alternative history” Why would the “Colonel” who Raiden talks to want anything that happened there to be known to Raiden? Even when Nastasha Romanenko published her book about the truth of what happened there- Colonel denies it, and calls it Trash. But we’re lead to the understanding that Raiden already played through Snakes missions as a part of VR Training regimen. If he had, he’d know that the colonel secretly used Snake as a vector to spread FoxDie under direct orders from the pentagon, and that Snake and Liquid were genetic pawns of some grander conspiracy to create super soldiers… and that Occelot, now working for Solidus was a spy for the President George Sears who he would already know was his father if it was all left wide open. So to summarize, Ghost Babel is the events of Shadow Moses edited to be a more palatable half truth so that Raiden could be trained on the events, but not the truth, of the Shadow Moses incident. Twin Snakes is the love letter of Otacon to his Anime obsessions as retold to Sunny on board the Nomad as what he *thinks* Snake did during Shadow Moses, pieced together from what he saw, what snake told him and what his web mind imagined. And Metal Gear Solid vanilla is either the memories of Shadow Moses from Occelot or Snakes POV but perhaps the closest thing to the objective truth.

[@Kadeo64]

MGSV is honestly Hideo Kojima's best work gameplay wise. The story is bad, but the gameplay is just fucking amazing. The Open World areas give lots of options for stealth previously not possible. The game also allows for completely loud action if you don't want to stealth, which is really fucking fun if you capture a tank, even if they're comically underpowered. The FOB missions provide more classic Metal Gear gameplay with the addition of the amazing gadgets of V.

If you have a new 3DS model that is modded for custom firmware then you can increase the framerate on the 3DS version of snake eater to make it better. That's the way I decided to play it

[@fluidabyss]

[@TheEpicpwnr100]

Besides the given negatives of the redone cutscenes and dialogue, I have heard of two other negatives about Twin Snakes people gloss over. 1. Is that the controls of MGS2 backported to 1 mess with the balance of the game (for example, Ocelots fight becomes stupid easy in first person). The second is the one I find most aggregious of all, is that the entire soundtrack was remade w/o reference to the original. So tracks like the classic alert theme have been removed. Feel free to correct me if that's misinfo. I haven't been able to play the game myself since it's locked to the GCN. I think it's still worth playing from what I've seen, but only once one has checked the original first.

18:50 Holy shit, Twin Snakes is $150 USD? I bought a copy of it back in 2016 for like $30 bucks off Amazon. How tf did the price go up so quickly?

[@MaxBoomingHere]

Did I get lucky with a sealed copy of the legacy collection for $33, sealed V Definitive for $24, and not sealed Revengence for $16 2 and a half years ago 😅 (only playing mgs now on my psp)

[@DarthLordRaven]

thanks for the video i hope in the remake that they could add the camera like mgs3 into mgs1 and2!

[@ianlee7835]

How many metal gear games should I play

[@solidshot6600]

Play the game’s in release order if played in chronological order it will spoil some key plot twist in the other games

[@rodneysmith4499]

Start the lowdown naming Revolver as the whole point of Metal Gear.

[@idefyseven]

I'm so excited that mgs 4 is gonna finally be on Xbox

[@PushingFriend28]

[@itaysharf3207]

[@Fuego_Emporium]

[@CucasNerdyCorner]

[@NeoMoonSevin]

Remember the mgs hd collection well now konamis stopped the purchase of HD collection as it originally was and slapped it into mgs collection vol1 wtf i already own hd collection on xbox since years ago and now im stuck with a dalema that dilema is do i have to repurchase mgs hd again because of the mgs. Collection vol1 im not happy konami is going recharge everyone for hd edition whom already own it like me i had hd edition since early last year and i aint keen to purchase twice on something i brought ages ago so my question is will the mgs collection vol1 be split up as seperate purchases eventually i farkn hope so because i already got 99% of this collection except mgs1 thats all i need than all i need in vol2 is mgs4 then i have the complete mgs series

[@turothescrub6830]

so is there no way of getting into the series on ps5?? im searching and only 5 is available

[@KayJulers]

Part 1 of the Master Collection with 1, 2, and 3 should be coming to PS5 later this year, so you can pick that up!

[@dasc2428]

Very nice video. If I had to summarize MG in one s sentence I would simply say "It's not meaningless. " It is not just a game to play to spend your free time, you are supposed to learn about the world, about history, and art and science and the things that make the world the way it is. All the suoernatural elements in the series exist mostly for coolness reasons. People always think the series is filled with pretentious blah blah, but I think this is just a sign of general cultural decay. People nowadays lack objective standards on what is good and bad art and don't realize what a huge amount of skill is required to come up with something like Metal Gear.

[@je2free]

My suggestion: start with MGS 1.

[@Edanite]

I honestly wouldn't recommend Metal Gear as the first title due to how dependent the player may be on a walkthrough. Without that the game can become frustrating. I usually recommend playing MG and MG2 last and only if you love the series or are just plain curious. For me I'd either recommend MGS or MGS3 depending if people want to play in chronical order or release order.

[@KayJulers]

I think that's fair! Although I find it to be the hardest to sell of the three due to its relative simplicity and old school, cryptic nature, I still like including it in the recommendations since some people might want to start at the beginning and I feel it's best played before MGS4 and MGSV as both of their conclusions are strengthened by seeing the events of the MSX games, especially the pre-final boss dialogue in MG2 that I love.

[@andrewkruzienski770]

You knowledge on the subject is quite abundant? Were you sent by the la-li-lu-le-lo?

[@KayJulers]

I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork does a raw blink on Hara-kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61!

[@markhovscrch4050]

No hate but my first Metal Gear was NES on 64 in 1 NES Multicart on GBA using Nintendo DS Lite gift by my uncles and aunt back in 2012 cant save even if there was option because the board inside doens't come with battery, I never finished due to my DS Lite have only 2 hours but know many parts of game such as grenade launcher. 3DS beaten by me later back in 2021, owning 2nd hand disc of MGS4 never finished my Console died itself.

[@RMrMan]

I have currently only played mgr becuase a guy said "this game is the coolest crap i've ever seen"

[@DRAMADY]

U could always emulate…
