I Talk For Far Too Long About Metal Gear Solid | A Retrospective

How do you feel about Metal Gear Solid? 🔫

Talking about Metal Gear for way too long is just keeping in line with the spirit of Metal Gear.

Before I clicked, I thought, "Man, I wish there would be one of these videos for Snatcher or Policenauts. They never get as much attention." Imagine my delight.

Metal Gear solid isn't just a video game it's an experience one of the best in the series

I'm just happy someone else on this planet remembers Policenauts exists. I had no idea about any of that Rising Sun stuff, very fascinating

I religiously listen to metal gear story videos to go to sleep cause it all just blurs together and makes no sense so now I have one of my favorite channels to go to sleep to as well! Looking forward to this one

Thanks for making this for me son. I knew pestering you all those years would pay off.

Metal Gear Solid is one of the first video games I bonded with my own father and older brother on. My dad, and his dad, are both veterans, driving trucks and tanks, serving in Eastern Europe during the 70's and 80's. So to see not only realistic action and relevant military history being portrayed in this game was an entry point for me to understand them a little better. That, and it was just cool being put in the boots of a suped-up soldier/spy shooting helicopters out of the air. This game franchise is near and dear to my heart and is a series I revisit often for the nostalgic storytelling and that haunting, melodious soundtrack. Now that I'm significantly older, I find a new appreciation for MGS1, but also the MSX games, as I do research and watch retrospectives like this one. I hope the best is yet to come for this series of retrospectives, I look forward to watching them as they come out. P.S: Thanks for the shout out, it really means a lot! So surreal.

A movie for my favorite game from our favorite son. Awesome

Metal Gear is a dolphin - My favorite son

Well, that was almost 3 hours of my life gone! Time well spent! Great Job Pal! ❤

You timed this perfectly, uploading during my current MGS video essay hyperfixatio! Looking forward to this!

‘…his adventure game Snatcher, which we’ll be talking about very soon’. Hype intensifies.

My love for this game will never die. I remember playing the demo and was beyond excited when my cousin invited me over to play the game when it came out. I beat it in one night! It felt like I was watching a movie and I could not stop until I saw the ending. Metal Gear Solid 3 is my favorite game of all time. I cannot wait to see you do a retrospective on it :)

Yes! Metal Gear franchise has always been a favorite of mine. I’m really glad that you’ve covering this. You go into such amazing detail with all of your content

Son, I am so glad to finally hear your apt analytical acumen on display with one of my favorite game series of all time. Thank you for being an incredible channel!!

Son, I've been playing Metal Gear Solid for a long time, I mean growing up and watching my Dad and his brothers play. It's my inspiration for wanting to tell stories in video games. I fell off of it after MGS V because it didn't live up to my hype personally, despite being a phenomenal game that I have recently poured another 160+ hours of my life into. Recently I have gotten addicted to Metal Gear again, and have even beaten the 1987 original for the MSX2 computer for the first time. I've been showing one of my best friends MGS2, my favorite game in the franchise and of all time and I'm reminded why I loved this series growing up, putting all the story pieces from the prequels together as I revisit these classics. AND NOW YOU RELEASE THIS (What a coincidence)!!! AWESOME!

I’ve seen probably every video essay on the topics of metal gear and silent hill that YouTube has to offer but always look most forward to your videos. I really appreciate all the work you put in man.

Been waiting for this ever since you teased it well over a year ago. As many as I've watched about this exact subject, you always do them better. The detail and research you do are unparalleled. You are one of the best doing it.
