The Zanzibarland Disturbance - Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (Summarized)

[@sgtpieman]

I do love how many times you can hear him holding back laughter in these summaries.

[@itsmejinxfromleagueolegendsrea]

Is this video what actually happens?!??

[@darkmessengerofanotherworl2840]

Many elements of this game have been reproduced in MGS, like the elevator's ambush, the stairs chase, the Hind D fight, the warning of Gray Fox on Snake about the minefield and the meet between Snake and Natasha on the ladies bathroom, which is the same as the one with Meryl.

[@quattrobajeena135]

With the last game big boss calling you and telling you to turn off the MSX

[@adud6764]

Also the fake person, like decoy octopus copying the DARPA chief. The parachuting was replaced with downroping. Dr Marv has a "heart attack". Shape memory alloy.

[@TheRabbitPoet]

Yeah, there's a very intentional theme of repetition in this series. MG2 takes a lot of elements from MG, MGS takes elements from MG2, MGS2 is in-universe trying to recreate elements from MGS and so on From snake eater forward these patterns become more complex. MGS3 has more in common with MG2 than MGS2 but there's a bit of every prior game within it

[@lordofligma]

Initially, MGS1 was supposed to be a remake of MG2

[@nikki5499]

Holy shit this deserve more view! Also the story and gameplay is nothing short of Kojima. Dude is a mad lad long before he become a legend.

[@FizzyJacksonAndTheOs]

I like how apparently tanks need legs but then the tanks with legs' weakness are their... legs. genius!

[@npc6817]

Release an owl to convin e a guard it's night? And here I thought porn as a distraction was far fetched. Screw death stranding I want venom snake to climb a clock tower screaming "BING BONG IT'S 20'00 TIME TO GO TO SLEEP" and the guards are like "welp time to switch to night patrol routes" despite the sun being still out

9:30 friendship with snake ended

[@npc6817]

Big boss is now my best friend

[@thesmilingman7576]

16:29 the big boss snake was fighting in metal gear 1 was venom snake aka the medic after an explosion in the 70s he was recovering in the hospital and was being told he is big boss he believed it I think at some point he discovers his true origin but I forgot he was possing as a body double for big boss im pretty sure venom snake is dead

[@texasgent4694]

Yes the "Big Boss" that Solid Snake Killed in MG1 was indeed Venom Snake, hence the reason why Solid Snake was so taken aback when He found out that Jack/The Real Big Boss had "Survived" in Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake

[@A_Salty_Fishe]

@@texasgent4694 So was the Big Boss from Metal Gear 2 the former Naked Snake from MGS3? Venom dies at the end of MG1, and the "real" Big Boss somehow survives the events of Metal Gear 2?

[@joakoko3285]

@@A_Salty_Fishe Yes, did you already play mgs4? there's many information about that in the game

[@texasgent4694]

@@A_Salty_Fishe Yes the Big Boss that Solid Snake fights and nearly burns to death at the end of Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake is Jack/Naked Snake from MGS3, and yes Venom Snake from MGS5 was the Big Boss that Solid Snake kills at the end of the Original Metal Gear

Thank you, I was confused on the whole snake thing.

[@ttlovepie101]

I was 70% through the game and lost all my progress so I appreciate this

[@zaberfang]

Killer hamsters. Only Kojima could make that work.

[@channel45853]

Big boss is weird

[@knghtbrd]

"Killer hamsters? HOW?" "Nanomachines." "Oh."

[@MrSneakSneak]

Thank you so much for your summaries, they are so succinct! feels like i am playing the game also with how you integrate all the gameplay and story segments. top notch

[@ArleThePoss]

Besides some names being wrong (which is more to blame what their names were in the MSX2 version and not the rereleases) and certain items (which is due to the MSX2 version again), this is a really good video.

[@waleed5b5cool]

I had no idea that Big Boss was modeled to look like Sean Connery! While Snake reminds a lot Mel Gibson.

A very well done video, you just gained a sub! Oh, and this is one of my favorite videogames of all time.

[@OUTSIDER40]

Thank you for making this video 👍

[@fongie8948]

Yo I remember playing this!!! I remember not trying to use much internet while playing in order not to ruin my experience but damn... OK maybe the tap code thing was a little hard but the damn glider part freaked me out! How the hell was I supposed to know that Snake needs to smoke to fly so he wouldn't feel stressed or something idk. Also there was a part when an insect or a bird was in your inventory and it was eating your items as far as i remember lol. But it's a great game overall!

[@ArtofLunatik]

Those names tho

[@m0rtez713]

Marv Petrovich really isn't a Czech name. But hey, they tried, at least it is better than "Running man".

[@warlordofbritannia]

Playing MGS1 as a kid always felt…off. I only found out about the original Metal Gear games when I was 20. It’s a bit crazy how well MGS still works despite the fact that most of the emotional moments and indeed plot are incomprehensible if you haven’t played an obscure NES game from a decade prior. In hindsight, we can appreciate the balls on Kojima to simultaneously remake that game no one outside of Japan played while also designing that remake to be a direct sequel for the game it’s basically a remake of…and then he did it again with MGS3.

[@BillGunslinger]

They should remake Metal Gear 1 and 2 in the vein of Ground Zeroes, then remake Metal Gear Solid 1 and put them all in one package.

[@citizenvulpes4562]

Konami threw away the source code for MGS1, common practice for them back in the ps1-2 era of games. They also threw away the Silent hill games, which is why the silent hill HD collection was so poorly "remastered"

[@EmiDSnake]

Excelent work; i enjoyed it a lot

[@Rams-ram]

Great work, thanks

[@Joetime90]

Isn't Snake a CQC expert? Why use the missiles? It was the 90s. Kojima wanted to remake the original two games to help tie everything in with the retcons but we all know how that happened.

[@Vrabsher_-Supreme_Perhinther-]

You talking about how Dr. Pettrovich has a stone grip on Solid Snake ? If so , I think that he turned himself into a cyborg .

[@warlordofbritannia]

MGS1 basically is a remake of the original two anyways…while simultaneously being a direct sequel

[@thesmilingman7576]

1:08 so thats what they did to the nukes from the fob missions

[@razieltalos]

how can i play the original non-retconned msx games without selling a kidney to buy an msx and the games?

[@TehUltimateSnake]

Buy a ps2 and buy MGS3 Subsistence. It has both MG1 and MG2

[@IAmBushid0]

Or simply buy the the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for PS3, where MG1 and MG2 are included in the main menu OF Snake Eater

[@Cherb123456]

Cool, thanks to you I know the lore of both titles, thank you! Love the names lol

​@@emobassist MGSV retcon means it's Venom Snake.

​@bradencoffey5029 Venom was killed by Solid in Metal Gear 1. This was the real big boss aka Jack/naked snake that fought solid here in metal gear 2.

[@VirtueInEternity]

Wow, so much of this is in MGS1.

[@volpe7436]

Also apparently i think as of mgs 4 they retconed that Zanzibar land is actually tselinoyarsk from mgs3 just years later

that information wasn't written by kojima but other konami authors

[@IanRutherford-bz1xd]

Thank God Solid Snake didn't end up as a serial killer--just a mass murderer. But it's all good, he's the good guy after all. Just ending lives of a great many human beings all for the good of world peace and all that jazz... he must be a SWELL guy. I don't know if that ever crosses people's minds that the fictional character we praise is a mass murderer nonetheless. Of course this is all a joke disguised as sarcasm yet mixed with facts.
