And people say you can't learn anything from video games...

I learned more about history and political stuff from this game than when I was in school.

I wish Nastasha appeared in MGS4

This game was fucking ahead of its time. Great lesson of my life, is a video game. Kojima the master.

It’s insane how relevant this is

00:01-00:38 Nuclear Deterrence Theory 00:41-01:07 New Country 01:09-02:21 Cold War 02:24-03:14 TMD Systems 03:17-03:57 ABM Treaty 03:59-04:17 Economic Superpower 04:19-04:46 Major Power 04:48-05:10 Military Balance 05:11-05:45 START 3 Accord * 05:46-06:49 Russian Parliament 06:51-07:15 US and Russia 07:16-07:48 Nuclear Superiority 07:49-08:29 Chemical 08:30-09:35 Conflicts 09:36-09:59 Military Policy 10:00-10:38 21st Century 10:40-11:45 IAEA 11:47-12:43 1970

This is such a great lesson, and was very enlightening while playing through it around the age of 12. The entirety of the game but its allusions to START, DARPA, and other agencies I didn't even know existed that young, particularly...This speech on deterrence I have always remembered. Isn't there another dialog in deterrence in MGS2, or 3? My memory escapes me...

Natasha is a character I wish got more screentime. I always liked listening to these CODEC calls during MGS.

How many Metal Gear fans are here because of what’s going on with Russia and Ukraine? Maybe hideo kojima left some predictions in his games. MGS 1 is a great masterpiece with the voice acting. Definitely Learned a little bit about nuclear weapons with this game. 😎

Strangely relevant today

Listening to this today with Russian aggression against NATO and Ukraine is mental*

Using this for studying International Relations, really accurate and significant commentary.

Natasha Romanenko in real world 1999: ""According to the military doctrine which is at the basis for NATO expansion, ... a pre-empetive nuclear strike may be undertaken IF there is sufficient threat to a regional conflict spreading to a large-scale war. In the face of all this NATO expansion, Russia might feel the need to flex their nuclear muscles... ..if only to show NATO that, even with their aging arsenal and diminished army, they are still a major power." March 2022: Russo-Ucraine war raging on with 2 mln of refugee, dense shelling and a new unchallenged crysis with both Lavrov and westerners blabbing about Nuclear pre-empetives and retaliations. OK. We ve seen that coming for a long time.

This is more relevant to today than when the game was released back in 1998

Scary times we live in

I wish Nastasha were in MGS2 or in MGS4. She just disappeared without a trace.

I say that MGS was more then just a game. See how the world was and is now. Hideo Kojima predicted some things of the future that is to this day.

Is happening now..

Thanks Kojima. I remembered this when Putin invaded Ukraine

YT for some reason recommended this. I wonder why.

How prescient this seems today with the situation in Ukraine. I don't care if it's made up, it's totally relevant.

Very up to date game Kojima never fails to amaze 🙌🙌🙌

lets see what happens next year...

If she wasnt in MGS, she would have made a kickass character in 24 or The West Wing.

Yikes for current situations.

needed to watch this, and start to replay mgs saga after seeing oppenheimer

It's sad nothing has changed in almost 30 years

Had to listen to this dialogue again, after learning of the attack on Crimea in Ukraine.

Very relevant to this day. It may explain why nukes happens in countries you dont like it to happen too. If nukes was reduced or eliminated way more, most likely it wouldnt get in hands of others

Did Putin watch 4:35 and think: “Yes I do”?

Still relevant...

For fiction this is amazingly accurate or close to history

Good advice from Nastasha

Then She wrote a great books

I have played and listened to the codec calls it's very matrix inspired the way Agent Smith talk's to Morpheus in the first film during the interrogation, if you wanna play around with reality give Snake posttraumatic stress disorder, confuse the player to the point were you don't know wether you're the good or bad guy. The whole codec call sequence at federal hall is like a long cut scene with no sense of interaction, what's fun about that?

(Kojima develops a game with a story about the dangers of nuclear war and nuclear proliferation) 9 year old me playing MGS in 1998: Snake go grunt, Johnny poops his pants, cool ninja robot, Metal Gear go brrrrrr

why are we still here?

8:30 Temos drones com um precisão absurda. Capaz de interceptar um carro em alta velocidade.

Played this amazing game back in the days. Who knew of nano technology back then? This game is politically correct in many codec an cinematic content ✅

8:49 Angola foi um exemplo de revolução regional, foram pisoteados por dois elefantes superpotentes que nem sequer brigaram.

4:33 so relevant today.

Umm 🤔🤔🤔

The Torture room isn't that a huge interactive storytelling event?

I always wonder how much is actual trivia and how much is made up

Fun fact: the voice of Natasha Romanenko is the same one who did Ms. Butterbean in The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, I’m not even kidding here.

One step above? it was a story about simulating the events of shadow mosses while being imperfect and turning written laws on peaces of paper to artificial intelligent life. The A.I.'s are essentially nothing more than a class written in Javascript;) Thus only being able to work after the restrictions of their own coding. The choice you're given is Binary either die or kill Solidus T.N.D. You could say that the best way to beat MGS2 is either turning the consol off or pressing the reset button.

Everything Nastasha said in two words: Nukes bad

I wish she was in more MGS games why haven't we had the pleasure of her voice since. Hopefully they'll make that MGS: Philantrophy game in wich she stands in for Colonell Campell It'll be the best way for Hideo Kojima to Redeem himself for the massive sin of MGS2 and Raiden!!!

So, Solidus fears Putin.

Natasha With The Knowledge Tho.

NEOCON Juice, Every. Single. Time.

The algo is trying to be funny.

So you would rather say that the annoying Fortune Boss fight and the sniper fight of vamp which bare's no purpose are forms of art? The first MGS1 used the change of controller ports to defeat a mind reading pshycho mantis(and if you couldn't you would unmask the 2 statues in the room) now that's clever, MGS3 followed up with The Sorrow

Can someone explain me why I never heard this woman before ? I played as a child this game over and over and never spoke to her ? Did I miss something ?

MGS4 is not about lazy uninspired fan service with no subtlety or depth at all - you must have been playing a different game than me. MGS2 was made during the days of Project Echelon - anybody and his dog could have known by then that everybody was being spied on all the time - you didn't need Edward Snowden to tell you that 12 years later. MGS4 is far beyond that still and show wars will be waged a couple of years from now by the Pentagon and the defense contractors.

The very end is a really important note with AI If we get to the point where the Government can claim that the tools we have are indistinguishable from military and civilian applications, they can use this to undermine our rights.

There was no nuclear weapons in irak they where chimical missiles been develop

I understand perfectly what they were trying to achieve, with Raiden as a substitute for you as the player. However a character in a game no matter who and how welldefined, will never be the same as the person holding the controller. And it's not like i don't like philosophy i enjoy it alot, but as a gameplayer i wanne be more directly involved and you weren't in MGS2 MGS5 as far as i've heard try similar things but executed in a better way, here Big Boss can not distingguis dream from reality.

Well the Tank chapter is yes;) The rest is not so good

MGS1 had a theme and a smart one, now if a game has great story that means that it's likely to work better as a film than a game. The game medium should be interactive storytelling because it make's you the player more involved, the way The End could be taken out in MGS3 was interactive storytelling with a theme. And what made the first mgs1 so great was the 4th wall breaks allmost none of these can be seen in MGS2. Sons of liberty had alot of potential but ultimately felt unfinished and poor
