Raiden: “So my super cyborg adventure is not canon? Oh well.”

i think anyone trying legitimately learn the history of the Metal Gear series will not find this video very helpful but it was extremely entertaining for us who are long time fans

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain Metal Gear Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake Metal Gear Solid Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Started playing them chronologically a couple years ago, finished Phantom Pain a few months back. Next I'm playing Metal Gear 1. So I'm going from PS4 to MSX.

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.

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

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.

Stick with the story and stop with the corny side comments

Great video! Really enjoyed a streamlined journey through the MG saga

THANK YOOUU soo much!!! After many many research and still not understanding. I finally understand which Snake is which, etc..

Well, this was fun. I have a headache now. Great video!

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.

You taught me some things , thanks!

Guns of the Patriots was one of my favorite games!

Great explanation

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?

this was sooooo entertaining. damn
