It would have been difficult to implement with any depth, since you can kill or save each B&B as they appear. If devs wanted them to have a conversation with the player or with each other, to talk and interact with other characters during cutscenes, or to appear at different points in the game to assist you, there are potentially 14 combinations or more depending on how a developer writes them (e.g 'nanomachines turn their mind into a single unit'). e.g if x = a B&B you killed, and 1,2,3,4 are each member of the B&B Unit, then combos look like: xxxx (all killed) 1234 (all saved) 1xxx x2xx xx3x xxx4 12xx 1x3x 1xx4 x2xx x23x x2x4 xx3x xx34

In 2016, I was at an anime convention where Khary Payton, Drebin's VA, was attending as one of the guests. Lo and behold, he's there selling autographed Drebin photos and I just had to ask him what the hell was up with the B&B Corps backstory part in the script. From his perspective the script reading and acting was really well done and he was enthusiastic about what he was saying and referencing. Then...Laughing Octopus' lines appeared. And midway through a take, he stops and asks "What the hell is this? What am I reading? This a joke?" Nope. Was straight from Kojima himself. "How the hell does this character suddenly know this? Why does he know this? Why is this important to the player?" He was told yet again, from Kojima himself. Read the lines and ignore it. Did his job wonderfully, but years later at that con, the baffled look on his face sticks with me whenever I play, or watch reviews of MGS4.

It's really impressive that you can insert your own personal experiences in a beneficial way that isn't bloviating. Also a great balance or usage of light banter vs content.

I love MGS4, both story and gameplay. The whole thing felt like a bittersweet farewell. A goodbye you don't want to say, but one you have to. Playing this, I was reminded a lot of my uncle who died of cancer not long before MGS4 was released. The experience felt like visiting him in the hospital. Watching a man who fought and sacrificed everything for his country gradually withering away, but getting meaningful conversations and nostalgic memories to wash down the bitter pill that is loss. Its upsetting and unpleasant, but that's how final goodbyes are. It's beautiful but heart wrenching. Idk. Maybe it was the timing in which I first played this game, but it really hit me hard and filled me with a lot of complex emotions.

That's what it is: but so many idiorts don't seem to realize that, because they don't actually watch it and leave hate.

You mentioning your perspective on the ending changing with your friend taking their own life really resonated with me, I had my perspective on it change as I grew older too. I played this game when I was a kid, and as a kid I always thought it should have ended with Snake killing himself, and I felt the fake out with Big Boss coming in to explain everything ruined the tone on an ending I overall enjoyed. Shortly after I graduated college my dad died and I essentially was thrown into adulthood without him to help me figure things out. Over the years I feel like I found my way and being a few years into a graduate program, I can't help but think about how I still don't know what I need to be doing and longing for him to be here just for reassurance. My relationship with my dad was complicated, we loved each other but as is in your early adulthood you argue about stuff that really doesn't matter, but you take it personally because you just don't have the same perspective as each other. Replaying this game and well, watching this video again (I know I'm not the only one who watches this at least once a year) I thought about what Kojima said in that interview, and how all Big Boss is doing is just really coming in and telling Snake how things are going to be okay. Hearing you go over Kojima's interview about losing his father at a young age, and how the ending is exactly that, just him having his dad tell him that he respects him as a man, just made me kind of go "Yeah, I get it". Anyways, great video, it's definitely one of the best on the platform

What I gleaned from this is that MGS 4 was just one of those "last in the season" episodes of show where they bring back all the characters from the first season for literally no reason, but on a larger scale

@mercury2157

2 жыл бұрын

The characters were brought back for a reason, just not good reasons

God, can you imagine how powerful it would have been if Foxalive turned off all nano machines and THAT’S what killed Naomi instead? If Naomi went into this mission KNOWING she would be destroying the only thing keeping her alive and went through with it anyway for the greater good of the world and the next generation, and the kind of thematic moral sacrifice that would represent in tandem with the original ending where snake dies? Or even if turning off the nano machines was somehow the thing that killed the dangerous foxdie in Snake so that Naomi’s sacrifice ALSO saved Snake’s life along with the lives and freedom and personal identities of everyone else?

That scene (you know which one, BANG) will never be the same in my eyes again. I used to think it was hilarious and baffling, mostly stupid, with the highlight of unironic cool being Ocelot. Now, Eva protecting Solidus and Snake getting burned protecting her, and that entire final 45 second or so stretch of cuts and shots at the end are the most incredible, epic shit I've ever seen. The music really kind of highlights Kojima's love for cinematic setpieces that ramp up in tension and end in a feverish climax (also see the scene of Sam and Igor's disastrous and terrifying corpse disposal gig, early in Death Stranding, which I would actually say is one of Kojima's most well-directed and artistically unique scenes he's ever done. I also haven't finished DS yet so no spoilers pls)

good video, and I'm a little displeased your sentiments toward 4 aren't so common.

Even if you DON'T know the metatextual details like Big Boss's Japanese VA here being Solid's VA's father, or Kojima's personal motivations, you can feel them nonetheless and it resonates. I also really love how the game actually ends: the conversation between Snake and Otacon. It's just nice. I consider 4 to still be the end of the series. V and others are like supplements, 4 is the completion

@galten7361

7 ай бұрын

The convo between Snake and Big Boss is fine in isolation (meaning ignore most of the whole plot with retcons and Zero being there since he was kinda silly there and was transparently just forcing him in to tie up loose ends) and the plot would've been much more solid if they designed the whole plot about the two's history and emnity and final "reconciliation" (though frankly I'd suggest having Big Boss just be strapped in somewhere with what Snake speaks to an AI ala the Patriot Campbell that manages to take in enough of Big Boss' personality combined with Snake himself figuring stuff out rather than just Big Boss yapping on). With Raiden absent, Liquid Ocelot's final fight actually using Ocelot's skillset rather than the fanservice wannabe fighting game and more importantly Ocelot's ends strictly serving Big Boss l/Big Boss AI through serving the Patriots (which let's Ocelot keep to his characterization in MGS1-MGS3 of being a Patriot agent while still making Big Boss important in his ends) while "Liquid" is just trying to burn it all down.

There's a beautiful symmetry between Raiden in Rising and Gray Fox. I know it's tragic to see a character whose been through as much as Raiden turn back to violence. But Gray Fox's words sum up his motivation "Fighting was the only thing I was good at. But at least I faught for what I believed in." That's exactly Raiden in Rising. He's fighting for a better future so children don't have to go through the same thing as him.

I think my two absolute favorite moments in this video, that make me laugh literally every single time, are: 1. "You ever see a guy with like, a hat? And a weird shirt? He's flipping a coin, because he's trying to get a coin thing going. He wants to be the guy with the coin. .... That's me. I'm the guy that scared you in Best Buy." 2. [Steak] "Nice try Kojima, but Snake HAS a family. And they're happy together. You just go ahead and kill him." [Brak] "See if I care! Cause I do!" 😂😂😂

GOD, I NEED more essays like this with comedy, sincerity, fun edits, and just generally show that they have a fucking pulse. If you ever wondered why this is SO rewatachable, it's because it has a "structured rambling" feeling, a term that doesn't exist but it does now, where it never feels like he's reading a script or droning on, yet he manages to remain casual and engaging. His voice, tone, and delivery is always on point. It's so impressive really. (It also helps that the topic is something he's REALLY passionate about) Just wanna let you know every day you upload is a good day.

While I really enjoyed MGS4 and its story, I've got to say your edits to the clips have vastly improved the cutscenes. Like wow, your choice of music and voices are just spot on.

1:20:34 Watching this scene again (for like the fourth time since I love this video), I think the apple that guy drops is actually the one Snake receives from monkey in Act 2 at 30:00, as said apple appears to fall from behind the guy Snake is holding. This makes it even stupider, that not only would Snake have kept that apple in his kevlar vest that absolutely does not have pockets big enough for an apple, but that he would pack it for this completely different mission into an urban area, and only now at the church would it fall out of his apple pocket. Kojima is stupid as hell but I am excited for Death Stranding 2.
