Can I just say, this is exactly why I love Pekora. She's so genuine about who she is and has her full emotions on display. Most of Hololive is like this really but I think it really shines through with this bunny.

[@Meta9871]

Props to her for immersing in the experience and not making a ridicule out of it for the audiences' sake. Like you said it takes guts to take something seriously in front of an audience, especially if it's something camp like MGS3. Plus, she understood the actual message of MGS: america fkin SUCKS, yo. Kojima is a real one for making them

[@vito7428]

​@@Meta9871I think it's more about governments taking advantage of the very people who fight on the frontlines for them for their own gain which in this case was the philosopher's legacy,and less just'AMERICA SUCKS YO'. In fact i think that's very much missing the message

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

The same game being able to make you cry is a testament to Snake Eater's writing. Game's end, isn't it beautiful? It's almost tragic.

[@shinigamimiroku3723]

"Almost"? Mate, this whole thing has "tragedy" written all over it. If not for the Philosophers/Patriots, The Boss and her band would have been able to retire as veterans, Big Boss could have settled down with Eve and their sons would have been natural, without all that genetic engineering nonsense - heck, even Raiden's childhood likely would not have been nearly as bad. EVERYTHING in the franchise stems from this singular event.

[@SubliminaIMessages]

"Almost tragic" Bruh this shit sad as hell 😭

@@shinigamimiroku3723 Stupid Volgin and that damn nuclear he launched..

[@onemuststand7353]

​@@shinigamimiroku3723That's not entirely true. The Philosophers/Patriots didn't engage Operation Virtuous Mission or Operation Snake Eater. If the 3 super powers (USA, Russia and China) didn't actively try to keep the Legacy for themselves, none of the franchise would've happened to begin with. The whole point of the funds was for the 3 nations to work together but instead it created the biggest schism the earth had known. Greed for power was what caused all of it. Pure and simple the want and need to be the most powerful.

[@irvancrocs1753]

I played this game like 4 times, twice on PS2, once on PS3, and the last on emulator, and this ending still gets me every single time.. Her story is just too painful..

[@danielcolt8906]

4:27 now that is just heartbreaking. But to think that after 3 years Pekora is still such a big fan of Metal Gear I hope she gets permissions gor PW too. By the way Kojima retweeted her Stream and her Poem today too.

[@tuyylihk]

No way now. Only 1~3 is able to apply now as she said.

[@kurochan917]

It really hits different when you play it for a second time. It hit hard for her the first time around, but she sounds devastated this time.

[@deatheven13]

The first time through any MG game you're kind of riding the adrenaline and not everything hits you properly but that second time through when you already have the gist of the overall plot you can absorb all the details and nuance and it just really completes the experience.

[@Byakko-KnightofPekoland]

It breaks my heart every time I hear her cry. While I was watching it live, I was crying too, not just for Boss, but also for Pekora. Two incredible women.

[@jailcatjones3250]

She was called "the Joy" but never smiled until the day she died

[@RedRabbit-ZA]

Keep in mind that Pekora streamed this game for a second time. That's how much she loves MGS3. Although I would love it if she streamed MGS5 as well.

[@irvancrocs1753]

If I recall they still haven't gotten the permission yet for MGS Peace Walker upwards, and only for MGS1-MGS3 so far.. Imagine her reaction to see Raiden on MGR, because back then she said it so many times that Raiden (along with Big Boss) are her most favorite characters..

[@phsquared1000]

I think it speaks a lot about the merit of MGS3 too. It's story hits hard emotionally every time and watching Snake lose his trust in his government and cry at the end of the game will never not hurt.

[@ntma]

I'd like to see her play the original metal gear 1 and 2. there's pc versions now, and from what I remember they're great

[@Xtoxinlolinecronomicon]

[@Unaliq]

The most insane part of The Boss/The Joy's son being born in war is the fact it's Revolver Ocelot... ahd yeah, it's so good to see Pekora replay the MGS series. Since her previous playthroughs got nuked.

[@mrtree8622]

Holy shit this is news to me. So that Mustache guy was her son ?

[@Unaliq]

@mrtree8622 Yes! It blew my mind as I played MGS3 for the first time. Also explains why Liquid was able to take control of Ocelot in MGS2. He has a small portion of his father's power. The Sorrow.

[@Danger0use]

​@@Unaliq That was supposed to be an act on ocelots part.

[@Unaliq]

@Danger0use It was in the 4th game but in the second game, Ocelot used Liquid's right arm as a replacement due to being The Sorrow's son, he unknowingly kept Liquid alive and after the Big Shell Incident, he once again replaced his right arm with a cybernetic arm in place of Liquid's arm due to Liquid being able to take control of Ocelot. He then did hypnotherapy on himself to make it look like Liquid took over him. It's confusing at first but once you begin to get a grasp of it, it becomes clear.

[@flamewheel1747]

It's insanely sad hearing the energy the JP voices have put to the characters. I've only heard it in English, and The Boss in English delivers the dialogue with such prowess that it really does pull your heartstrings, especially when you then hear Eva talk about the whole thing as well and what The Boss's mission was. Beautiful game, you wouldn't get another like it without change, and it would not feel right if changed.

[@deatheven13]

It's so stupidly good in Japanese. I don't know why I wasn't expecting it. It kind of makes me wonder if some of the goofy stuff in the series comes across a little less so in the original dub.

[@Fome]

I think it only sounds good in Jp when you don’t understand it. Too me it sounds corny and overly melodramatic in Jp. English VA is much more nuanced

It's always great seeing streamers really responding and working with a game/story rather than missing the beats and reading/acting a clown for chat every 2 seconds. MGS story is loopy, but it leans in so hard that it just works. The Boss' story will continue to bring out these emotions for generations to come and Kojima really makes these kind of experiences that hit so much harder as part of the "game". Wish i could see stats on how long it took players to pull the trigger.

When the game makes you feel more emotion for the villain who betrays you than most games can scrounge up for their main characters... We don't deserve Kojima sometimes.

[@kyrridas1573]

still one of the greatest video games of all time. its kind of unreal how perfect this game is, especially considering where video games were at the time. then again, thats basically true for most of the MGS games.

[@erevinwinter]

People often point out The Boss "I doubt USA and Russia are going to be enemies in 21st century" and how it is a rare Kojima prediction miss but that just make even more clear how her character is such an idealistic person wishing for ingenuous utopia for the world which makes it even more tragic because Kojima missing this prediction settle down even more The Boss as a character.

You're assuming that it'll be any good to begin with. Remember that today's Konami isn't the same as the one that put out MGS3, or all the other classic Konami titles. There's every possibility that the game will be sloppy cash-grab, just like their recent MGS re-releases.

[@MichaelVincentGChua]

Indeed she's emotionally attach to this franchise, it's a shame that Konami would be hard to get from this point on. But we're hoping they would get permission on other MGS games than MGS 1-3, if Konami wants to boost then let Hololive "adsvertise" it for them.

[@TubeofDestiny]

@@revbladez5773 that's actually way worse 😅At least the beaches were secured early on, and beside Omaha it wasn't a complete slaughter on the other beaches. Meanwhile airdrops were the deadliest part for the Allies: casualties for paratroopers were around a third on the first day, while glider infantry lost at least half of their men on these drops alone. Gliders got wrecked by AA fire, got lost in the clouds and crash landed with no visibility, or landed in swamps, with many soldiers drowning with their equipment on their back. Most of them were scattered kilometers apart, having no map, radio or ammo, let alone food or first-aid, being hunted by german troops combing the area, having to fight them with little to no support or reinforcements. There's also no way she would airdrop with a 7-to-9 months belly, the sheer shock of landing, enought to break knees and legs if you don't land perfectly, would be devastating to the foetus. The only possible way would be her landing as a passenger in a transport plane, 4-5 months into pregnancy, coordinating commandos from HQ, then giving birth to a preterm just as Operation Overlord was concluding.

I just don't think the Boss needed that much detail in her backstory, it feels like it's trying too hard to make you feel bad for her, and it also shits all over real people like the Mercury Seven for no real reason.
