So the best way to summarize the story in a few words: everyone is a double-double-double agent up to the point where nobody actually knows who they are working for and why..alteast that what you think but then they reveal that they had their own plans all along, and that they are actually super evil. SPOILER they're not they were just pretending, to fullfill their greater plan.

OUTSTANDING! OUTSTANDING! I've been a huge fan of the MG saga since 1988. I've always thought the story was a bit... convoluted. Lol. This was obviously a labor of love, as well as a concise & detailed summary of the lore. Now, the question I pose to you (and anyone else reading this) is, Should you play the games in release or chronological order? I've been asked this by my friends wanting to get into the MGS world. I generally go with release order.

@belaolson8172

I back this up, playing in chronological order helps you piece some things together but it makes you miss out on the whole "oh so THAT'S who that is!" and "Oh shit so that's why that happened in the last game/a few games back!"

I’d probably recommend more that people play one of the best games first, and work from there. I see the merit of release order, but who is actually going to get the OG Metal Gear as their first game?

I can appreciate the awesomeness of the entire story, but Snake Ester has always been my absolute favorite. I like it because you can play it as a stand-alone game, and the story doesn’t need to continue for it to be a masterpiece! This video shows a lot of effort

Imagine following it step by step since metal gear solid one, in desperate anticipation/speculation for the next release, all the cliff hangers, plot twists and finales were amazing all the way to Metal Gear 4 when the story ends.

I just watched this whole thing through in 1 sitting for me it is currently 7:23am lol and it was worth it and through it all(half of it) my lil dog was with me. This game has been with me since I seen my big brother played it 😁 man good times and he gave me his ps2 and I got a copy of mgs3 and played that and then my brother gave me his ps3 and the mgs collection and I played mgs3 again and mgs4 along with black ops 2. I wish I could go back in time to when times were simpler 😢

Finaly the BEST summary of the Metal Gear Saga i saw. Everything is explained verry detailed and can be understood by everyone. AND finaly a summary that included The Phantom pain. Not like the other "summarys" saying it but in the middle of the video after 1h say that the phantom pain is not included.... Thank you for this AMAZING Work !! greetings from Germany

Only if all these games were on ps4 and xbox one in their highest quality and 1080p these games would sell fast!! And I would love that so much 😭

phantom pain is truely a masterpiece, absolutely flawless

"This is good isn't it?" A wonderful video showing off the beauty of this wonderful series. No mater what Konami does with it in the future, bad spin offs or pachinko machines be dammed, this series is absolutely fantastic and nothing will change that. A heart-filled story of sacrifice told with some flavors of quirkiness and the supernatural all comes together with raw heart.

What a journey. I know the metal gear plot was very convoluted but not to this extent. Thank you so much for the video! It helps explains a lot

Amazing video. Thank you so much for taking the time to publish this!

Ok on the subject of Portable Ops I'd like to offer my two cents as a lifelong MG fan: I choose to consider Portable Ops a part of the saga. You say it's a 'myth' because Kojima said only his games are canon, but that doesn't negate him saying 'most of the plot is canon'. There's a difference between saying 'the entire game is canon' and 'most of the plot happened'. After all, Kojima says a lot of contradictory stuff. He once said that his games are only 'interpretations' of the events, not exact records (long before he made Phantom Pain) so if that's true, isn't PO basically canon already? I don't blame him for wanting a Kojima Seal Of Quality on his games, but I have a feeling 95% of PO's story he would happily borrow were he to make his own version, because at the end of the day, it was a damn good story and acted as a missing link in the saga, importantly it answers the question of 'how did Snake go from lone soldier in Snake Eater to mercenary leader 10 years later?' Portable Ops explains this and many other questions, such as what happened to FOX and Ocelot. Also when the game starts out it's nearly identical to Snake Eater, including the character models and everything, you've got your jungle camos and no weapons and you're completely vulernable, so you're basically Naked Snake in Groznyj Grad prison, but by the end your this overpowered truck driving armoured mercenary leader badass. You actually feel like you're turning into big boss, and that's freakin awesome. The only thing I really didn't like was the villain, Gene. He was a great villain and all but I didn't like that he invented the whole 'outer heaven' concept which Snake just stole. I imagine this was probably the aspect of the story Kojima was most unhappy with.

@GamerXPER

4 жыл бұрын

Doug Wingate Personally I liked the idea originated with Gene and that while Snake was against it at first. The legacy of Boss and Big Boss leads to him accepting it reinventing the philosophy his own way. And I’d say it is canon even though he didn’t direct it. He wrote the whole story for PO and considered it fully canon while MGS 4 was being made and let a team work on it while he focused on MGS 4. Kojima though while I like him, he’s a very prideful person who kinda considered certain things he didn’t have full control in unimportant. He wrote the whole story for PO but doesn’t consider it cannon because he didn’t fully work on it. Also was petty about an unlicensed sequel to the first Metal Gear in America that he made his own and did not let the U.S. have it tell MGS 3. Kojima also with PW was going to just write it and let a staff work on it without him but he came back on to direct because he thought they did it wrong and no one can mess with his baby but him. Even so though PO is canon because the link is referenced and has ripple effects throughout the whole series even if it’s not the most direct all the time.

Yeah, I am really not a fan of how many people ignore portable ops. Kojima said it was cannon, then specified that only parts of it aren't, then later says only the games with his name on it are part of the series. It seems rather clear to me that he said that so people know any game Konami shit out called metal gear are not a part of his story, not him retroactively disavowing the things that he already called cannon in portable ops. I really don't know how people make that leap.

This was such a beautifully executed history of the MGS saga and I enjoyed every minute thank you

I have to say that I appreciate all the time and effort that was put into this. I’ve loved metal gear since the NES and for the past two years, I’ve been finding that many people share the same love. Thank you for putting this together even if it was almost 4 years ago.

There are many MGS Fans but you my friend stand above everyone else! Wow! Just Wow! R.I.P BIG BOSS!

Metal Gear is my favourite game series oof all time. I love everything about it, especially the story telling and the way Kojima sets it all around real life events for the time period of said games. It almost feels real or as if they're actually trying to tell you something about what happened behind close doors in the real world. It has so many similarities to what really goes on. Patriots - Illuminati Double & Triple Agents - 60's were full of them US and Russian. Oleg Pentkovsky being we known one as well as Klaus Fuchs from the Manhatten Project. The mind fuck of a story is amazing and that before you even include the gameplay quality. Really love watching retrospectives especially on Metal Gear and this one is one of the best I have ever seen. You definitley deserve a sub.

This video is excellent, makes me want to replay all of them.

My headcanon is that the experiments on Jack were to have him be part of the beauty and the beast team, as he is quite beautiful. He could have takne the place of Grey fox but probably would have been called Ripper Fox or something. They then either A: Went "nah, the Team is for women" B:He was broke out before they brought him onto the team Or C: they realized he was a guy

Metal gear will forever be the greatest series of games ever. I'm sure there will be others, but I can't think of any other game saga where it turns out that we should be cheering for the bad guys all along, starting from The Boss through to Ocelot.
