We're not tools of the government, or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing I was good at. But at least I fought for what I believed in.

I spit out my drink when I saw revolver ocelot shoot himself while spinning his revolver. 😂 Love the Voiceovers you do in these games you play.

[@deathdealerx7505]

Same! Was not expecting it. Than continued to laugh and choke for 15 mins replaying it. 😂

[@lamcb.9476]

18:31 you know whats funny? If you ring up the Colonel right before you head onto the roof , Snake will rightfully sound out of breath, having climbed the infinite tower from MGR while being shot at . Colonel will kinda laugh at him, telling Snake he’s not as fit as he used to be. And instead of an immediate retort, Snake just gives Colonel the stinkeye

[@MKDumas1981]

Try calling Master Miller during the Hind battle, or right after it.

[@DarlingMissDarling]

The speed with which I stopped whatever bs I was doing and clicked the notification for this... I'm totally normal about cyan man uploads.

[@kastle3322]

I like how that conversation about Gap could be an actual serious conversation between two characters in any game in the MGS series, like you can convince someone that skit could have been actual in game audio and they'd believe you

[@leereiyuu]

Since I played the German copy of the game I was genuinely curious if the English version is just WORLDS better. But then I noticed, it wasnt the game. Pro: I dont have to feel betryed by the German translation. Con: I feel betrayed by how MUCH MORE AMAZING this game could have been. :D

[@thedappermagician6905]

The fact you did all of these voices/impressions and the cutscene editing and replicated their fonts is...quite frankly... nothing short of amazing

[@aldebaran514.]

The jeans fact at the end, LOL

[@smashymctaco8588]

I can attest to quite a few hours of thumb dexterity training thanks to the MGS Torture event. You get different endings based on what you do in that scene. Flash forward 20 ish years and The Movie Ratatouille, when one of the cooks says "I onced killed a man with THIS Thumb" and my brain immediately said "oh you played MGS too!!?” lol

[@IMelkor42]

I just went and bought an autofire controller...

[@standcontractdelta8120]

Every metal gear game needs repeated triangle taps for one reason or another.

[@mosayebmohammadi5198]

this game is so much ahead of its time that it is still iconic and fresh right now. Fun fact, if you do not resist the torture and forfeit, Meryl will be dead after the fist fight with Liquid in the end and Otecan will do the driving. if doing so, Otecan will give you the invisible suite that can be used for your New game+

[@CalicoThoughts]

13:52 THE FACT THAT AN AD ACTUALLY PLAYED HERE

[@ryanprado3593]

Yeah it got me too this time I watched it 😂 first time it didn’t lmao

[@stenanderson1695]

"I'd prefer to call you anything else in the world." Incredible writing truly.

[@kispie]

Fun fact: Instead of following the path Meryl made to avoid the mines, just run straight up and viola

[@64_three]

played this game during thanksgiving break and oh my god this is a masterpiece, the attention to detail for a ps1 game in 1998 is INSANE, also this games themes about nuclear war and just war in general hit way harder today.

More excited for 4 to be honest. It has major flaws, but hit me the most of any of the games.

The bit that liquid went on about gap jeans was absolutely perfect hahaha had me rolling

[@AubreyTheKing]

That was the funniest way I have ever seen anyone die to Gray Fox LMAO Love the video!

[@viscountrainbows2857]

I'm gonna emptily theorize you made this video on the Ross Scott ethos of "I released this around Christmas time because the game includes snow"

[@Itsdeejayjay]

“Consequence for breaking the 4th wall is divine punishment” 8:33 that’s hilarious

[@N6Oficial]

Big W for the Cyan Man giving a christmas present early. 13:02 "Gave you a cuncussion huh?" and all the other bits, absolute cinema. David Hayter been real quite since this ahah

[@strategicexit8561]

I just love, LOVE the tangent about dinosaurs. It's so metal gear.

[@2NDFLB]

▪️ metal gear? ⬛

[@ThatFeelBr0]

About Johnny Sasaki in the bathroom with his pants on, it's supposed to show him wasting time pretending to be using the toilet because Johnny is not a good professional. I hope Cyan finds him in MGS 2 and 3 (4 is quite obvious).

[@standcontractdelta8120]

He is good he just has no nano machines because he’s afraid of needles.

[@17vmrivas]

What an era 1998. I was just a kid when my older brother bought this game for his PS1 around 2000, metal gear has become my favorite video game franchise of all time.

[@Doc92IDH]

The hilarious thing about Snake asking so many questions is, that turns out to be (or at least used to be) one of the FBI's main negotiation techniques. It's called mirroring, and it's supposed to lead the person you're speaking to to share more information than they otherwise would. You repeat the last three words, or some variation of the most important words, in the form of a question. I always thought it was a meme, but with that context, it's a bit ridiculous how much that makes sense.

[@ens0246]

The thing is, beyond the magical/paranormal stuff in Kojima games, all the insanity is generally based in the reality of what has actually happened in conflicts. The fact that most people find it ridiculous is...I dunno how to feel about it. I used to think MGS was just cool, then completely silly, then I learned more about its influences, more about real war over the years. It feels different now. It's like staring at the pure madness of the reality we live in with no filters.

[@Yarblocosifilitico]

FBI's negotiation techniques, huh? ... on a serious note, that's actually quite interesting. MGS is more relevant than most people realize. There's too much truth underneath the madness... As the saying goes, 'reality is stranger than fiction'.

[@Yarblocosifilitico]

@@ens0246 exactly. It's genius how it attracks people with the crazyness and over-the-topness... yet it's way more grounded and relevant than it seems at first or even second glance.

[@Doc92IDH]

@@ens0246 It's probably my favourite thing about the games to be honest. They'll be timeless for that reason: especially MGS2 (for its prescience) and MGS3 (for the way it captured the zeitgeist of the cold war period). Playing any of them gives you a great insight into the key issues and prevailing sentiments of the time (except V: probably why it didn't stick the same way for me and was so disappointing)

[@StrongandConditioned]

Only ever game I’ve walked out of a job to go and play. It was that good.

[@skytrigger]

last days of 2024 where i am very convinced cyan man is doing voice acting professionally.

[@fachry192]

That main theme song is so iconic. It's sad they can't use it on later games due to copyright issue..

[@shunsteward1310]

27:22 GAP lore goes deep. 😂

[@Wardxg_0]

Bro the editing and craft of this vid made me sub man it was too good. Lmfao XP

[@Blastmeh]

the unexpected GAP allegory was tremendous

[@pressy6612]

Hopefully for metal gear solid 3 you call eva and ocelot Ariel and Spiderman because their voice actors played both of those roles

Love this whole video. I’m a huge Metal Gear fan and I love your voice overs. Especially Liquids! lol.

[@cataclysmicbane9068]

Wow. It’s been a long time since a video made me crack up legitimately. I’ve been playing MGS for 20 years and you made me reevaluate everything I thought I knew. Snake’s speech about living and loving and loving and living really got to me.

[@korigun]

'Calcium Cannons' got me good xD

[@chazclark86]

Some of the lines here were amazing I’m not gonna lie! “How high up do we go before we’re in the sky!?” Or “you’ll die not knowing why they call it a tv set when theirs only one!!” 🤣🤣 amazing. Earned a like and sub for this, amazing work. Loved the ad from Psycho Mantis as well 🤣

[@charlesboots6508]

I remembered how cheesy the dialogue was, but I didn't realize at the time just how much voice acting talent was in that cast.

The cut scene edits were truly a master class in comedy. Ty.

Y'know, all these years, I never knew that you could be subjected to multiple torture sessions if you hang around the cell too long.

I remember playing the first level up until you start crawling through the ducts over and over on a demo disc. Then we got the full game, and it truly was a masterpiece.

Great voice overs.

As a long time fan of Metal Gear, and MGS1 is my favorite . Thank you for the refreshing , beautifuly done video

[@beardsley2199]

Great video 👏👏 I can't wait to see your take on MGS2. There's more twists in that game than a twister itself. My all time favorite game!

[@shiva_m729]

You really kept us waiting

why did the diaper chief have a heart attack? is he stupid?

[@Yarblocosifilitico]

7:52 lmaaao that caught me off guard

[@Oathkeeper-S]

Its so hard to tell if what he does and his impressions are actually apart of the game even if I played it mysef. Amazing Video can't wait for MGS4 if you know what I mean

[@ricosanchez5155]

I love this so much!! It looks like it felt on the PS1, or maybe it's just me with nostalgia glasses. Definitely coming back to rewatch this TOO many times!!! I played this back on the PS1 and the fact that Psycho Mantis mentioned me playing Castlevania freaked me out!!

[@Xyponx]

What's even better about that is Konami was the production house for both games, and both games include the line "Have at you!"

[@Theee_BAMF5]

Not the lore drop I wanted but definitely needed to know, 26:36

[@619soysauce]

The gap was pretty accurate

[@azoth19]

this game is really special to me because my dad played this game and got the stealth suit then let me play around, messing with the guards. i miss so much

[@davidRice-Levitt]

damm that intro would make you think that this is a video essay.

[@Fabbbio1001]

The fact that many game mechanics were already introduced in the two MSX games (almost a decade prior to Metal Gear Solid) really shows how much Kojima was ahead of its time in terms of game design.

[@RyanSeanEckford]

The game that made me want to be a soldier. Then I was a soldier and wondered how long itd be until those shots improved my vision and hearing.

[@CyanSkyAnfall]

Your username is my favorite color! And you reviewed/abridged my favorite game😂! That means absolutely nothing. Except that I’m subbing to you and looking forward to MGS2! Side note, Someone might find this funny. My friend and I when we were kids would pretend that the guards were saying, “It’s Mr. Box” instead of, “It’s just a box”. Also, until TTS I never beat the torture scene😢. But you should submit for the alternate ending. Just a subtle lore drop that might surprise you if you get around to MGS4.

[@Yarblocosifilitico]

ah, yes, Mr. Box, the facility's ghost

[@fachry192]

It would be great if you could add a captions for us non English native speaker. The auto caption doesn't cut it. Love your content man!

[@berkekvancgokgoz4926]

[@TomTerrible789]

It's been a minute since I played this game so I genuinely cannot remember which dialogue is from the game and which dialogue is you. Great voiceovers.

[@DedicatedSpirit8]

Almost 30 years and this game is still getting 30 min docs

[@Kinos141]

I'll be real. The reason I was able to beat the game was because I had the strategy guide before I bought the game. I got it from a friend in JHS, read it and thought, "Wow, this looks like a cool game. I should get it." Now, I'm one of the biggest MGS lovers in the world. Thanks, friend from JHS.

Metal Gear Solid has aged perfectly like wine. Truly THE ultimate masterpiece Hideo Kojima created. SOOO love to see it as an anime with every title. That would be bad-ass x10,000
