How do you feel about Metal Gear Solid? 🔫

@h.ov.c Ай бұрын

The first time I heard about MGS, or Metal Gear in general, was at my local videogame store. The store was small, hidden in a part of town where you'd probably wouldn't ever look to find one. One friend at school actually recommended it to me. Over the years, I fell in love with that small store, and became a regular. At one faithful day, the store owner told me that I need to see something that he just got the week before. What he showed me blew my mind. It was the japanese version from MGS. Of course, I didin't understand anything at all. But the atmosphere and gameplay had me hooked right from the start. And so began my feverish wait for it, to come to the west. The day was september 2nd 1998 (the german release), I was 15 years old. To this day, the Metal Gear franchise is probably my favourite videogame series of them all. And like Pulp Fiction made me to not only to watch movies, but understand them, Metallica made me to not only listen to music but make music, Metal Gear Solid made to not only play videogames but to love them and core for their story and characters. Thank you Hideo Kojima.

It changed the way I thought about not just video games, but the military, foreign policy, concepts like nuclear deterrence, personal identity, and doing something you believe in despite impossible odds. It’s not just a ground breaking game, but a series that truly stands out as a work of art and social and political commentary.

I played Metal Gear 2 : Snakes revenge when I was super young. It was my first foray into this world. Then much later in life as a teen I rented MGS1 from a VideoWarehouse. I thought I had anyway. It was actually the VR missions. I still enjoyed the heck out of it without realizing I hadn't played the game proper. Another year after that. I finally got to borrow the proper game from a friend. It was hard. It was unforgiving. It's narrative was a punch to the gut. I didn't know it would be a meme factory at the time. MGS is okay I guess.

Metal Gear Solid is one of the first video games I bonded with my own father and older brother on. My dad, and his dad, are both veterans, driving trucks and tanks, serving in Eastern Europe during the 70's and 80's. So to see not only realistic action and relevant military history being portrayed in this game was an entry point for me to understand them a little better. That, and it was just cool being put in the boots of a suped-up soldier/spy shooting helicopters out of the air. This game franchise is near and dear to my heart and is a series I revisit often for the nostalgic storytelling and that haunting, melodious soundtrack. Now that I'm significantly older, I find a new appreciation for MGS1, but also the MSX games, as I do research and watch retrospectives like this one. I hope the best is yet to come for this series of retrospectives, I look forward to watching them as they come out. P.S: Thanks for the shout out, it really means a lot! So surreal.

Son, I've been playing Metal Gear Solid for a long time, I mean growing up and watching my Dad and his brothers play. It's my inspiration for wanting to tell stories in video games. I fell off of it after MGS V because it didn't live up to my hype personally, despite being a phenomenal game that I have recently poured another 160+ hours of my life into. Recently I have gotten addicted to Metal Gear again, and have even beaten the 1987 original for the MSX2 computer for the first time. I've been showing one of my best friends MGS2, my favorite game in the franchise and of all time and I'm reminded why I loved this series growing up, putting all the story pieces from the prequels together as I revisit these classics. AND NOW YOU RELEASE THIS (What a coincidence)!!! AWESOME!

I don’t remember where we stopped, I just remember all of us being completely blown away. We’d played computer games before, but never seen anything like this, and everything was so…cool! So intriguing and tense and wild. We loved everything about it. It became the first game each of us beat on our own, and is prolly the whole family’s favorite game of all time. It is so wonderful, so quirky and fascinating and perfect even in everything that makes it imperfect. I love this game, and I love that you’re covering the series. ♥️

Son, you really hit the nail on the head with the feeling of this game. When it came out I played it into the wee hours of the night as I had just graduated from high school and was taking a year off before heading to college. Everything was cool, and yet so meaningful and touching. I hadn’t even realized how much it had impacted me until I played the Twin Snakes remake years later. Its themes have been baked into my personality in ways that surprise me. Thank you for showing so much love to such a great game from my youth. It brings me joy to watch you get so much from it even now so many years later. Now go mow the lawn before it rains. I’ll have some ice tea waiting for you when you finish.

15 minutes in and you really hit on a big point - back in the day games weren't just what you saw on screen, there was an element of imagination to them too. I don't know when exactly I stopped playing them like that, but it was something sort of related to reading, almost. I wasn't full-on imagining anything realistic on the screen, but I understood that what I was seeing was just a representation, and in that space I could fill in some detail. Modern games can afford amazing textures and mo-cap and all sorts of things but I think they lose a bit of magic in there. Or maybe as I got older I just lost the ability to feel that magic, who knows? Another banger from you though, I'm proud of you son

I look forward to seeing you cover the rest of the series, especially 4 and 5. One thing I've realized about Kojima is that his basic themes are extremely dark: no matter what our heroes do, people keep fighting. The goofiness is then deliberate, moments of farce among the melodrama. I find it perhaps telling that his post-Konami series is Death Stranding, where you most emphatically are NOT killing people.

I have watched alot of Kojima related videos, but most just go "Yeah MGS using in-game model for CG and is first to explore stealth game", they mentioned that MGS is good and ahead of its time, but never really explore why, while you did it. A lot of people say Kojima is not what he was when making MGS, and is "fall from Godhood" (This is somehow how we call it in Chinese) while he is making Death Stranding, but from your video I can finally confirm my suspecious, he is just a dude that want to make game that he vision. MGSs, PT, DS, these are just what he and his team envision and finally made into a product, he is still the same in his core, it is the view on him that changed through out the time.

Replayed it recently. There's actually much less stealth gameplay than I remembered. It's just boss fight to set piece to boss fight after the stealthy parts at the start of the game. And the boss fights are quite clunky. I don't think the gameplay has aged that well. But the story, characters, music, voice actors, artistic design, and overall atmosphere are still brilliant to this day. It was great to be taken away on an adventure on Shadow Moses Island again.
