One things for sure...venom is the only victim in all of this, like David later on. A consumate soldier til the end...

MGSV is probably the most misunderstood Metal Gear Solid. A great game that demands you to look deeper into it to truly appreciate it. Great video as always.

Now that you mention it, I 100% agree. I absolutely see how the game can feel empty, but my oh my are the implications of everything just sublime. And it's all there, you just have to look for yourself. It's truly a beautiful example of how the gaming medium can create unique art. I always found it interesting how I connected so much to FF6 as a kid. It could be because it was a new experience, maybe the simple graphics forcing my brain to meet the presentation half-way, or it could be because of the writing. I'm starting to believe that the truth lies between writing and the character art - the writing can't be nonsensical and the characters can't have tone-deaf reactions. MGSV really nailed the nuance in acting and expressions, the told story, and general presentation, leading my imagination to work more and meet it halfway. Art. Such a good game.

MGSV has an amazing hidden story. But many plotlines dont have conclusions like: Eli(should have been a buddy and his own sidequests like Quiet) and the Child Soldiers would play into it nicely. Codetalker should also have had a sidequest and maybe give some more hints. And Huey should have been your Development guy who you talk to and hunt down schematics for. Ocelot and Miller should have sidequests aswell And all characters should have been walking around at Mother Base and do stuff with so you care about them And more Skullface aswell. We got so many reused side ops and main missions (which some even felt like side ops). That's why its frustrating cause it could have been such a masterpiece but now it just a good game

@@theclawyaww3740 I think you greatly misunderstand the nature of MGSV's story and the themes of the Phantom Pain my friend.

@@balloonfiesta15 I never understood why modern audience hate it when they have to engage with the art on a personal level...we keep hearing about people wanting "immersive experiences"...but what is more immersive than a story that requires you to engage with it on a deeper level? It seems to me like people just don't want to get out of their comfort zones and just want writers to do all the work for them including thinking. I also agree with you...you brought up Death Stranding as an example and I totally agree with that...it's an example of a game that is being mocked by normies and morons who aren't even willing to give it the time of the day...I could bring another examples of my own aswell... Ever hear of the original Nier on the PS3? That game never sold well so not alot of people got to play it, it was dismissed mostly because of its graphics to the point the company Cavia who developed it went out of business. Only those who actually played it seemed to praise it story, characters, world etc (myself included) ever since it was released in 2010...This game gained a big cult following over the past decade that a sequel was made...and just recently a remake was announced for it that is coming next April... Again...I really don't understand why people don't attempt to get out of their comfort zones more often...it seems everyone doesn't have any form of curiosity and act like they know it all.

The fox engine never had problems using overlays on existing models like how your own custom emblem would show up on the containers, walls if the base, helicopter, and vehicles and change instantly after altering it. It would mean they could easily reuse assets of stuff and have no Diamond Dogs emblems on anything at all if they wanted without having to change any code or have a designer edit the model if they so chose. Plus even if anyone knows anything about changing textures on 3d models if they did put the DD logo on those original models as part of the texture and wanted to remove that logo it would take a few minutes max to edit the file when removing something like that. Its so easy for them to fix if it was a mistake it don't see how people could still think it was just reusing of textures.

Kazuhira was only being sneaky about the fact he was making the ultimate hamburger.

"Ground Zeroes" was Venom's brainwashed memory. It's where it all started hence the title of the game. It's a call back to MGS2 and how Raiden become a special operator through the regular pipeline but also the VR training.

FIDDLE!!! Damn though. This is a hell of an update. We still don't really know what happened out there, back in 1984. How could we? The story is seen through a person who has hallucinations and has been lied to. Maybe we can never truly know.

Over the past few months i've grown to like MGS V more and more. After all these years, there's still this sense of mystery floating around it. As if something huge is still hidden behind all the clues. It may not be, but I for one choose to believe so. I want to keep the mystery, and the legacy of MGS, alive. Your videos really are a blessing, you're pretty good.

I remember that scene in MGS2, when Snake spots the UAV and says "cypher". I had no idea what it meant, I guess Master Miller schooled him on all sorts?

Special reason, not particular.

There's no way this was an accident. No way in hell with how much attention to detail every single MGS game is created with, and this game is certainly no exception. Good eye man - they really made it easy to miss here but you caught it - well done.

This is why I adore MGSV. Ground Zeroes literally spelled out through its mechanics that players would need to look for details and context through gameplay and not being spoonfed, yet people still scraped at TPP asking why there was no story. TPP isn't as tightly knit as GZ and is a lot longer, which is probably why people glossed over the details. Stuff like factions and character motives are explained through observing the environment, finding physical clues like cassettes, and the conversations soldiers have, which is really fun to piece together.

Can you even imagine if somehow they announced there is a new metal gear game coming from Kojima? I'd take a dump on the floor wherever I was.

If only (but he doesn't even want to) he wanted MGS2 to be the last, although he did say he'd like to make a game telling the Boss's story from WW2 onwards. But this will only happen if Sony force Konami to relinquish the rights over to Kohima productions.

For me, the "eyes on Kazuhira" was always referring to the fact that years later he would be one of David's instructor/mentor and David would eventually kill V in Outer Heaven. Miller seems to actually (emotionally speaking) care about Big Boss and never strike me as very manipulative or complicated (he thinks and acts with his heart and guts) unlike some other characters... At best he likes money a bit too much (in PW that's why he fucked up) but I'm having a hard time picturing him doing the same mistake twice. But maybe that's because I like him.

These bad people simply have an ideology that they, like you (Solid Snake and Otacon), go and support in various ways.

Nice video as always. Also, I'd like to put out one probable connection: When Skullface finds out that Emmerich is about to run, he drops him off the stairs, saying "I'm taking your "legs" back", yet after he calms down and says "We still have USE FOR HIM" - and after we see Emmerich doing fine in his lab with his "legs" working properly. Of course after we encounter Sahelanthropus with Skullface, and somehow Snake escapes it (and I think he went off too easy from it - like, are bullets supposed to stop flying big mecha?) And here we have Miller saying "No more USE FOR ME, huh?", when he's about to die from soviet soldiers AND from Skulls sent after Big Boss on his way to chopper... or after him?

The way I see it is, all of this mounting evidence of Miller's betrayal from the logo on the crates to "Give her the shot already" is just part of the hypnagogia/brainwashing process facilitated by Zero to stoke division between him and Venom. If Zero could implant doubt into Venom over Kaz's loyalty it would mean Zero could get him out of the picture once he is done playing his "part" for big boss's phantom.

Yeah, Kaz supported XOF right from the start as did Paz. They both sold Big Boss out. Tough shit.

exactly how i heard it.

7:13 I may suggest to use the word "mirrored" to describe this kind of "details" instead of "inversed" expecially for your upcoming return/visit to the Quarantine Platform I presume...

The goal was to make that venom guy the perfect decoy of BigBoss, inside (in his mind) and outside (doing missions/be knowned). In all the games, the main character we are controlling is a legendary soldier with fantastic capacities on the battlefield, but they/we get manipulated like a puppet all the time. I will not be surprised if all the Skullface stuff and the diamond dogs are just differents pieces of the same puzzle, with the same goal to create the best BB decoy possible. Manipulation is the most efficient weapon/tool an intelligent mind can use, we can learned that from thoses MGS games.

Yo python, are you familiar with the 204863 mystery? What's your thoughts on it? I'd love to see you do a video on that someday. I remember most people thinking 204863 is just a fun easter egg of Kojima's birthday, but I am slowly beginning to suspect there may be more to it. It's a recurring gag to Hideo Kojima for a special reason. If anyone wants more info, message me. I simply don't want to comment everything on here because I believe I am getting close to something big. An MGSV easter egg that's never been found before..

Thank you for keeping this masterpiece alive. Kojima has created the most intelligent piece of espionage ever. Here's to you.

For weeks ive been pondering this betrayal of kaz. Specially with that voice clip with paz. Its just wow.

The first time I ever heard "eyes on kazuhira" I thought he meant to pay attention to Miller's actual eyes, and I still think that. When Snake first rescues him he looks at his eyes and wondered what happened to them. And the cutscene where Miller is on the platform talking to the soldiers he says "from now on you will all be my eyes" (or something like that, it's been a while). Miller's eyes are definitely a secret he's keeping. Not the hamburger thing

This was quite interesting keep up the good work man

Awesome video - never noticed that Diamond Dogs details before but it does entirely change Everything as you said... Also Amazing is a 5 year old game still has so much to uncover and analyse.... But mind you Hideo Kojima is a genius and stickler to detail so not surprising :)

8:12 about the logo thing, kojima also hid a silhouette of “Metal Gear Solid V” behind the phantom pain logo, back when he didn’t want to people to know it was the next Metal Gear Solid game. it didn’t take long for people to figure that out though.

you really make me happy dude

Hey thx, i also replaxed mgs v after 5 years last week, but i have seen that there were some spelling error in german language even after all these years that hasn't beend fixed. if these containers really aren't resued assets maybe huey has todo with it cause was with skull face all along the last years and he always lies to you when he is at the base. but for the miller connection in the epilogue he even tells ocelot that he'll be with cipher again to make big boss sons strong again and that he and ocelot should try to coexist, so yes there are possible reaons....

So, according to this Ground Zeroes wasn't real? And we have never played as real Big Boss there? I'm a little bit confused.

@Evan Torres-Brooks I want to believe that GZ was a real mission and we played as real Big Boss. Because: 1) it is quite short, but very cool infiltration mission, and it is very Big Boss-ish, if I may put it like that. Besides, Chico and Paz are strong motivation to begin this mission, especially for Big Boss. 2) Venom Snake's "birth" needs reason, and that reason is destruction of MSF. Then explosion, shrapnel and stuff. +1 to "GZ is real". So, that's my thoughts and beliefs:)

Ever since well before MGSV came out, I've noticed pythonselkans videos continuously. Even now, years after the game they still make metal gear videos. I must say I appreciate the commitment.

He's there because he was in a plane being transported by the Soviets over Cypress around the same time Venom Snake woke up, Venom's negative emotions, anger in particular, stimulated Mantis' psychic powers, which destroyed the plane and made him float to the ground, where he found another with even stronger negative emotions, Volgin, and attached himself to him. He isnt working for anyone, he constantly goes to whoever is feeling the strongest negative emtions at the time, ultimately he leaves and eventually becomes friends with Eli.

What if sahelanthropus wasn't being controlled by Liquid through Psycho mantis. But Miller instead. If he knew about the development of this weapon he must have helped it's development for the sake of stealing it in the end. This why he was more concerned with it's location than killing skull face. And in his blind rage it attacked everyone in it's path. Or perhaps he already knew that venom was not Big boss and wanted him out of the picture. Sending liquid in the helicopter as a diversion to pin the blame on.
