Following the hit KZfaq mini-series 'What Even Happens in MGSV', Futurasound Productions presents another deep dive into Hideo Kojima's series METAL GEAR SOLID like you've never seen before!
In this, part two of a trilogy on 2004's METAL GEAR SOLID 3: SNAKE EATER, we now turn to the main events of the game, known as 'Operation: Snake Eater'. It's by any standard of measurement, a classic; but is there more going on in this game than meets the eye? How does it connect to the other games in the series, and what do we only learn by multiple replays? Find out! No MGS fan will want to miss it!
NOTE: At 52:48, I said IRBMs when I meant MRBMs. Sorry about that!

You got one thing wrong. The dream doesn't happen if The End beats you, it happens if you save your game in the prison after the torture sequence. I let The End beat me a couple times to see what would happen and it just (I believe, my memory might be foggy about these next details) teleports you to the basement of Granin's design bureau in a jail cell with the scientist outfit equipped

@Ott3rKing 3 жыл бұрын

You are 100% correct when he knocks you out you always go to Granins because an hour-long portion of the game would be skipped if that happened as well as the fury boss fight. The only way to trigger that minigame is to save while in prison and paramedic makes a comment about the Dracula movies which then snake has a nightmare about. Also the Eva pregnancy scars theory is 10000% false. pregnancy scars don't show on any of those locations that she has scars. Its because he wonders how a desk jockey for the NSA gets scars but in reality she is a Chinese spy with field time and those are combat/torture scars.

Anyone else noticed how popular Metal Gear videos have become recently? Especially MGSV. I decided to give it another shot recently and there's loads of video essays on it from the past few months pulling hundreds of thousands of views.

@999a0s 3 жыл бұрын

i genuinely think that could be largely attributable to Futura's work. the sheer amount, breadth, and quality of metal gear analysis he's made is actually astounding. he has been pumping ths shit out like nobody's business, yet my favorite videos of his are still sitting largely unwatched, at hundreds or mid-thousands of views (the "DNA - a MGSV Exegesis" series, etc). Leadhead is another creator who's been churning out phenomenal videos rapidly, just like Futura.

I'm really glad you went into some detail about the sexual manipulation of Snake and how that effects him psychologically. Great explanation of how EVA's sexual nature is fan service to an extent, but not mindless fan service. The greater context is so important to grasping why she behaves the way she does and why Snake peeps on her etc.

Great video. This is a follow up to my comment on part 1 in this series. Thanks for including a more comprehensive explanation of why you think Ocelot is aware of his relationship with the Boss. I think you make a solid case for that interpretation. I'm divided on whether your example of their interaction is supposed to show in-universe awareness of their relationship or if it is supposed to be a hint to us, the player, of that relationship. Either way, I appreciate the extra context, Jorin Lee.

The sleep talks were in reference to The Boss helping her with her bags, not what you would initially think. That's revealed in a call to her when calling her in Chornyj Prud. And since someone brought up her pet dog Fido being a sleep talk conversation, the dreams are likewise a reference to her dreaming that Fido gets housebroken, not implied beastiality. That's also revealed in another radio conversation, this time within Bolshaya Past South, shortly after encountering the Great Danes.
