"Metal Gear Solid" is known for many things, including some insane 4th wall breaks. Hideo Kojima is a master of messing with gamers and these are some of our favorite times he broke from the script to address the player directly. Our list includes Psycho Mantis' antics in "Metal Gear Solid" (1998), the time paradox from "Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater" (2004), Snake's mention of a previous death in "Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots" (2008), and more! What was the biggest fourth wall break in gaming you’ve ever experienced? Let us know in the comments below.

If Snake actually gets a S-rank, Kojima will say "That was perfect" instead of "What took you so long?"

The end of MGS2 once we have beaten Solidus and Snake asks Raiden about the dog tags around his neck, it turns out to be the players name. That blew my mind as a teen.

So in MGS2, when they told us to turn the game off… I did the first time. It’s still haunts me to this day. Hah!

Another great 4th wall was the fight against "The End" of MGS3, is you take more than a week fighting with him in real time he actually die in the game since he was already old. Or if you move the internal clock of the ps2 one week ahead.

"Meryl's codec number was the reason several people who rented the game got stuck" Not me. The game has only 198 codec frequencies (140.?? or 141.??) it takes just a couple of minutes to call all. And if you (like me) did it in order, Meryl's codec is only the 15th attempt.

The part where Psycho Mantis analyzed the way I play really was ahead of it's time. Also after that he rummages thru some of my saved data and telling me each Konami made game I played amazes me to this day.

Meryl's codec frequency is what got me, I remember being stuck for so long and running around the hanger looking for a "CD case". I ended up buying the strategy guide 😅 back when those were a thing and found out that way.

One of my favorite fourth wall breaks is where Bart Simpson dicoveres the game-manual to "The Simpsons Video Game" inside "The Simpsons Video Game". This game has a ton of fourth wall breaks but the first one caught me so off-guard while playing this awesome game for the first time it always stays in my memory. I just wasn't prepared that this game would brake the fourth wall.

@CaptainxxHowdy Жыл бұрын

When I found Meryl’s codec code I did a huge eye roll lol. The colonel keeps saying “ it’s on the back of the package” I went all the way back to the beginning of the game thinking maybe snake dropped a package and I didn’t know then I literally looked at the back of the metal gear package and I saw it. Good times. It pissed me off but it was very clever

@bentricky Ай бұрын

I just learned of "Mono TV" wall break in MGS, where if the player doesn't have a stereo tv during the hind mission, you call the staff and they tell you to listen for the direction of the rotor...and then seem to be dumbfounded that anyone would have a mono TV.

@3:02 I rented MGS at a Blockbuster before. I remember going.. OH SHI* in that part of the game. Yet, I don't remember how I found out that the code is also on the Blockbuster case, all typed in the cover paper sleeve thing.

When you are doing the trailing mission I’m Europe during curfew if you go to a large wooden door. You can hear someone playing MGS on the PS1. You can hear him say NOOO then the OG alert sound goes off

not to mention with Meryl when they mention the CD case thing, you have just received the CD from president baker. so me as a kid not only didnt have the actual cd case, but i also assumed he meant "look on the back of the CD that president baker gave you"

@BryanKalloo Жыл бұрын

The Meryl codec thing was also on the back of the big box sleeve of the first remake of the trilogy during PS2 times lol so the back of those cases was red, blue, and green graphics respectively and I was confused but they put it on the box sleeve that held the 3 cases together lol also I never thought about the problem ppl who rented it would have lol

The first time I faced Psycho Mantis and he said "You like Castlevania, don't you?" I did a double-take as I thought "How did he know that?!" Of course I had a Castlevania: Symphony of the Night game saved on the memory card I was using.

I was 14 or 15 when I played mgs2 when it came out. I will never forget when Colonel starts acting wacky and told me to turn off my console and that I've been playing to long. I honestly thought: A. Somehow I am now being watched by some higher power or the FBI. Or B. My PS2 and game was now a sentient being. I'll never forget how my stomach was turning and it really did mind eff me. I don't know why but I never did turn off the console while it was happening.

If you want Fourth Wall Breaks try playing any Hyperdimension Neptunia video game ever or watching Hyperdimension Neptunia a.k.a. the anime retelling of the second and third Hyperdimension Neptunia game, Neptune from the Neptunia series as they shortened the series name to just Neptunia is a master of breaking the fourth wall and talking to either the player in case of the games or the viewer in case of the show.
