Well for starters, Big Boss wasn't the one put in stasis. That was solidus, Big Boss's exact clone. 2nd, Ocelot was never truly controlled by Liquid's arm, it was all self imposed brainwashing. Decent attempt though, but don't do story recaps if you don't actually know the story. Better luck next time.

Nah the metal gear solid games have gameplay that haven't aged and still hold up pretty well. The og metal gear games are a bit too simple tho.
I salute you for taking the suicide mission of explaining Metal Gear franshise
you will understand the timeline if you play the games. just dont start with 2 and 4. if you want to describe it its hard
I will add something here and very much important. On MSG4 Eva told us how Zero started it all of this and how evil he was, Big Boss ask the question "Did Zero hated me or he feared me?". The asnwers on MGS5: Phantom Pain show it was neither. Zero saw Big Boss as a friend and cared for him, he was the one who saved him and stated the idea of a copy double. There wasnt any rivalry, only a disagreement with no comunication between the parties. It did not help that Paz, on Peace Walker, went further ahead, against, her original orders, further cementing on Big Boss de assumption that Zero became his enemy. The sad reality is that Zero was decomitioned long, long before the construction of the Patriots IA, so that wasnt his fault either. Zero would have never wanted the state the world was in the 2000's. Big Boss died withouth knowing the tragic truth of his friend.
Skull Face being in the backseat of glory was hardly the main reason why he took a villain role. Skull Face resents Zero because his idelogy is the one that, according to Skull Face, is responsible for him losing his face/family/everything. Skull Face is the villain because he STILL deals with the phantom pain of his past, like almost everyone in MGSV. Misinterpreting the Boss' will, Skull Face enacts his plan to create his twisted version of the Boss' will.
You did great on this video! I don’t just comment that, it’s genuinely good and drip feeding the information was very good, as I can actually remember them

THANK YOOUU soo much!!! After many many research and still not understanding. I finally understand which Snake is which, etc..
Completely omitted several major plot points: Portable Ops, The Boss’s AI sacrifice at the end of Peace Walker which vindicates her, Venom Snake being forced to murder his own soldiers when they become infected with the anti-English virus, Ocelot being The Boss’s son, and EVA who, in addition to being Solid’s and Liquid’s mother, was the exact reason that Big Boss becomes disillusioned with Fox and the CIA and Zero, since she told EVA the truth to tell Big Boss.
Great explanation
MgsV was a work of art, the movement and what you could do in it even with cardboard, you could say that MGS V is a leap into the future
this was sooooo entertaining. damn
Guns of the Patriots was one of my favorite games!
As an old fart, my first foray into Metal Gear was the first on the original Nintendo System. I've been a fan ever since. Hideo Kojima should forever be remembered for his gaming and cultural influence on the world. Salute!
@MojoPlays, not exactly just 3. 4 counting Mosquito in Mission 23. And Aswell as other survivors in Ground Zeroes plus others whom were on mission during the attack on Mother Base. Around 50 to 100 I would guess said in a Cassette Tape by Ocelot
One question: What was that middle part, again?
So basically everyone dies, the original comes back alive the end. Long live Big Boss!
While metal gear's narrative is confusing at times it still tells a undstandable story of people affected by war, in my opinion i think kingdom heart's story is far more harder to understand(I love that series btw).

Would have been fun if you said, lets start with Metal Gear Solid 3, the 5th game of the franchise and the first game chronologically.

Metal gear's story is actually a lot more linear in nature while kingdom hearts has a lot of side games that are just as important as the mainline titles that just keeps adding more elements to the lore, its a series that it makes more sense when you play it and it comes together in your head then a person explaining it to you.

@@glydoughnut9432Exactly. To this day I still wonder who's a hero and who's a villain in the MG world, I came up with my own ideas. Solid Snake is just a pawn in USA's hands. Same for Raiden. Solidus Snake is actually a hero who tried to stop the patriots when he saw that even the US president (himself) couldn't do anything. Big Boss is a ruthless anti-hero. Venom Snake is just a pawn and decoy in the hands of Big Boss and Ocelot. Ocelot is a contorted psycho guy who's really only loyal to Big Boss and literally brainwashed himself multiple times just to follow Big Boss'will. Liquid Snake is a victim of his own biological origins and really is just a depressed psycho rebel who wants to give a meaning to his life and creation. Now I want MGS6, under Kojima's direction, with Solidus as a protagonist
Very good video only correction was Jack not John but other then that 100%
Fox, and philosophers, and Kenny g. I would play that game. With the music to be fair. So just metal gear actually
I don't know what's more confusing. This or the Kingdom Hearts timeline?
but what about MGS portable ops 1 for the PSP cause that game introduces Roy Campbell, so where is that game in the timeline at?

I would love the story to get fleshed out in a series of novels.
This is how you know the story is so complex and hard to follow he kept mentioning how the philosophers and the patriots sound the same then at 7:52 he says “ the goal of the philosophers “ which in fact it was the goal of the patriots to carry out The boss’s legacy haha love metal gear! Also no mention of la li Lu Le lo during the mgs3 speech?

jus finished MGS4 again.. and decided to replay MGS to find out what the hell is going on. started MGS3 and finished it few days after. with the names.. it is confusing, only now i can finally understand them
So who was actually ‘good’ in terms of not wanting to blow up or control the entire world? Was ocelot actually fighting for the ‘good’ of mankind or no?
Great video!!
Damn thats hard the ending is powerful
Guns of the patriots is underrated. Change my mind...
don't know why the algorithm missed this video I think the poor reception of the new remaster has semi censored MGS content due to people missing such s large new entry (or perhaps it's the other way around, chicken or the egg I Suppose but with the futrasound videos being well received this seems somewhat recent)
great work, love this video, concluding a massively long timeline into less than 30 minutes is incredible, especially true when I watched other's failed attempt to do so
Honestly MGS dont get confusing till 4
7:41 I can agree but let's add the types of metal gears to this list cuz why tf not seriously. Metal Gear, Metal Gear REX, Metal Gear RAY, Metal Gear (Eldera), Metal Gear G, Metal Gear D, Metal Gear EXCELSUS, Metal Gear GANDER, Metal Gear KODOQUE, Metal Gear Mk. II, Metal Gear RAXA, Metal Gear ZEKE, Walker Gear, TX-55 Metal Gear, Sahelanthropus, Shagohod, Peace Walker, Pupa, Outer Haven (is that even a metal gear?) Arsenal Gear, Gekko, Coccon, Chrysalis and INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC FUCKING METAL GEAR
I haven't forgotten what you've told me boss, we have no tomorrow but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present we push the future further away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not, which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us, no need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger. I have to drive out this demon inside me, build a better future. That's what l, hmm, what "we" will leave as our legacy. Another mission, right boss?
I love how people assume Metal Gear Revengeance has anything to do with Metal Gear.

How do you have a no hitting rule when you’re talking about metal gear salt you know what I should click off the video just for that dumb comment 2:47
was looking forward to this one…. what happened? narration was not good. like he took the whole video as a joke and the profanity was so out of place
😂 Metal gear is not complicated. the story is super linear. just how the games were released is complicated. If you play the games how they were released it is not complicated and if you play them in the chronological order it is also not complicated.
Its funny how they treat sarcastically the timeline as "totally not complicated" but by doing such a sh*tty summary, they or he made it sound complicated AF. Either make a shorter video with more enfasis on key details but focused or a longer video explaining everything in detail but well documented and better narrates, not some middle ground that its just garbage, like explaining just the beginning and the ending of MGS3.
So I don't want to explain the full series but I don't know what I'm getting into give me likes
If you started at 13 like I did, not 4 like you, the story isn’t complicated, Kojima dialogue in the game is what makes it fucking complicated. Anddd you could have just said Mercenaries Without Boarders
Are we just going to pretend that the Metal Gear Solid series' storytelling is good, when it boils down to terrible exposition dumps and with some very cringey, anime-like and overall questionable charracters, nonsensical convoluted plots and so on? Yes, what is good about the series (the gameplay), is really good and inovative, but Kojima's fanboys tend to oversell these games to the moon, like they're some divine gaming revelation. Well, sorry but they're nothing close to that, just a series of good games, and that's it. Only anime emo fanboys think they're masterpieces in storytelling, but these people don't understand good storytelling to begin with, if they think countless exposition dumps is the way to tell a good story.
I highly doubt you can put all the metal gear lore in such a short video 😅
