Can You Beat Metal Gear Solid V as Solid Snake? 

If he really wanted to be just like Snake from MGS1 he shouldn't have crouched walk, because he doesn't learn that skill until 2014 in MGS4

The part where you have to walk with SkullFace and hear him talk in the jeep are considered cutscenes and you can skip them. (At least on the Definitive version)

Snake can use a mini gun, I'd say. He IS in a mini gun equipped vehicle, just like his escape in MGS1.

Technically, you could have killed Quiet, like Solid snake did Sniper Wolf, and never had to do her mission.

2:00 that's still an impressive weapon selection for a ps1 game in the 1990's

I would love to see a "Can You Beat MGSV as Raiden", as I have done it but not recorded it for F's sake. If you were to do it, then I would Recommend these equipment and rules: -Rule 1: Have to be Raiden -Rule 2: He Will save Child Soldiers as much as possible, as to make sure there can't be any more Jack the Rippers -Rule 3: He can use any stuff from MGS2 and MGRR Equipment: Assault Rifle: Modified G44K to resemble the Murasama Gun Sheath Sniper Rifle: Modified Serveal AMR-7, bc I considered it as a Long Range HF Blade, as it literally goes through anything Rocket Launchers: Grom-11 4 star as his basic Rocket launcher, and Killer Bee or CGM 25 as his Homing launcher Pistol: Socom (Geist Modified), Wu Sleep or Burkov TB as Tranq INT-Scope & Idroid as his way of Scanning Soldiers and being his Radar, and are allowed to use Wormhole Fulton Items: Cardbox box (Any), NVG as his AR Vision, Acceleramin for his Blade Mode, Stealth Camo is Kinda Iffy but more towards don't use unless need to Support Weapon Throwing/Placed: Hand Grendade, C4 The Only Buddies he can use are D-Dog for ref to Blade Wolf (Use Knife for most accuracy, or tact fulton for support useage), and D-Walker but only for Skull Machete and Missile Launcher And He can Use the Chopper Minigun in Hellbound, as he does have a quirk of getting on to helicopters in emergency situations And if you want to be most accurate then you will need to use mods, which I heavily discourage bc it can be a pain to install and use mods

"EMMERICH, SHUT THE FUCK UP! I DON'T WANT TO USE THE FUCKING D-WALKER!" 🤣Yep, that's me every time I play that mission. They say it's a quicker way to travel but you're three times as likely to get spotted. Also, please do Raiden next.

I wouldn't count the instances where the game forces you to do something as failing the challenge, like using a vehicle, or partner. There was a section in MGS1 where while trying to escape in a Jeep, you had to use a machine gun, so having to use the mini-gun on Pequod should get a pass. Also while she wasn't any help in the situation (Being mind controlled, and later injured), Meryl did act as a MGSV partner against Psycho Mantis and Sniper Wolf.

13:30 RedFox: What’s worse than a regular soldier? *flips page* Me: A child. RedFox: NO!

I will never forget A Quiet Exit because it presented itself as a simple tiny sneaking mission, so I went in with NOTHING except a pistol and the biker gear outfit I just unlocked (I like saving GMP). I quickly realized I had to airdrop a launcher and nearly completed the whole mission first try until I experienced one of those wallhacks right at the end... and then began 3 hours of failed retries.

I mean there's always getting Quiet back by doing the mission you grab her like 10 times and then she becomes available again but it doesn't detract from the heavyness of that ending. I wish Kojima got to finish that game, it was amazing and we got the rushed product.

My theory, is that MGSV is deliberately bloated with filler, so that Hideo had cover to spend time polishing the parts of the game he actually cared about.

"I'm pretty sure I gave myself drain bammage" I see what you did there, RedFox.

man, MGSV is such an amazing and modern game. so glad it’s still being played

This is almost like a retro rules run in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater where you can't do certain tricks or transitions or get off your board or you're limited to doing everything in a combo with no reverse or manuals or even using the triggers or thumbsticks because those weren't implemented until later on the DualShock

I don't think anyone could ever blame you for calling in Air Support on A Quiet Exit. That mission is literally HELL on earth. Essentially nowhere to hide from that tank at the very far right. It's basically a count down until when it hits, not a matter of IF it hits you

A quiet exit is the thing that drains all my desire to go back and finish those few objectives I missed on every playthrough of mgsv. Once I'm done with that mission I don't want to play again for a good 6 months

Aight time to replay all of MGSV again

There are parts of mgs1 with buddy’s notably the meria shootout so one mission isn’t an issue

It’s beautiful. Seeing how you managed to take down The One and Only Major after so much struggle and strife, it was amazing. Bravo, sir!

If you were going to only do things Solid Snake can do in MGS1, CQC would cause a failure. CQC wasn't introduced into the series until MGS3, and Solid Snake never even used his CQC training until MGS4 (with a throwaway line that he just never bothered to use it in the previous four games he appeared in, for no particular reason). However, you can do his deadly punch-punch-spin kick combo!

How do you only have 100 views with this kind of editing? You deserve like 100k

When you have to use the minigun, I would argue that you don't fail the mission, because during the jeep chase sequence at the end of MGS 1 you DO use a mounted gun, it's not a minigun, but you can't use anything else. so being locked to the mounted gun in this kind of situation, it's more than acceptable.

I've never seen someone play a metal gear game with so little stealth

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes mgs 5 more runs baby

I actually thought you were a big RU-vidr before I saw the clicks 😮

As for mission 45. I am pretty sure this tank™ is able to shoot through walls. I literally wouldn't have beaten this mission if I didn't swallow my gamer pride and started spamming air strikes.

Fun fact: if you beeline it toward the oil field in the first Africa mission, you glitch the game and it ends up putting you in the refinery after you shut down the machinery to escape. I have no idea why this happens though.

33:17 that new skull unit is way harder then anything you ever faced! Shield Guy is truly A Very Hellish Boss!

This is genuinely great, i love the concept, as i had done a challenge similar to this one but stopped at chapter 1, I'd love to see more of this game, the more ridiculous the restrictions the better, and i doubt im the only one. Keep it up.

I love that “get the fuck out of there!” Idk what it is about it, it’s just perfect.

Loved the video. High quality editing, Challenger Andy vibes, instant sub.

although it’s definitely a bit much if you’re not good at the game already, but solid can’t crouch walk(not until mgs4 at least), doesn’t have reflex mode, and doesn’t use cqc techniques(again, until mgs4). i think those mechanical restrictions would add a lot to the challenge and it’s accuracy

This is an incredible video man, you’re really talented. I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers. Definitely will check out your other stuff, already looking forward to your next video.

I didn't find it weird that this video was recommended but when you mentioned Baki I realized that's why and not because if metal gear

snake uses a mounted machine gun at the end of mgs1 in the jeep chase, close enough to the helicopter’s mounted minigun

If you get the dlc or upgrade to the definitive edition, you could maybe do runs for Eva and the boss just playing as a female soldier. I think thatd be cool

Paper Cog Liquid: Shield Guy is my favorite installment in the MGS series.

As a fan of MgsV and the series overall I'm happy to have found you and subscribed and would like to see more MgsV videos also respect for beating the game as solid snake and also fuck Huey

there are chaff grenades in a sort of weird but cool way. you gotta use air-support to launch either bombardment strikes, smoke, helicopter support, or chaff the area

What a great video, I’m definitely excited to see more, although I’m happy for you to skip a quiet exit for most runthroughs, that level is pain without the parasite suit

As a non metal gear player, to this day I still don’t know the differences between big boss, venom, liquid and solid snake

So while snake never used a minigun on a helicopter in MGS1, he used a mounted gun on a vehicle in the climax of the game. So close enough

I hope your channel grows, and I am very glad I was recommended this video.

Mah Man. How did I only discover this Channel today? This was hella entertaining. And for the record, I personally think that chapter one is enough for one Video It's not as much work and more fun for you so I see it as a win-win (If you want to make another one like this) Enough rambling, you've earned my sub 🤙

Has to be one the best videos I've seen from someone with such little subs, really hope you blow up and make more MGS content like this.

After watching Mitten Squad for YEARS, this dudes challenge isn’t even a challenge. Paul would have made this challenge a special Hell for himself and still would have completed it.

Peak Gaming content. You’ll be growing fast! 🔥

The minigun on the helicopter I'm not even going to say that you can't use it because it's a vehicle mounted turret which he did use at the end of Metal Gear Solid 1

You know what MGS1 didn't have? Time slowing down on detection. Run it back 😂

Fun fact for the traitourous caravan, you can just go to Novabraga airport and extract the truck before the skulls spot you, the tanks won't be there either

Bro this is awesome I just started playing mgsv for the 3rd time and wanted some entertainment. Glad you made this video

Quiet End is perhaps the most EXCRUCIATING level in any game I've played, made me quit playing MGSV for like 2 years. I've probably sunk maybe 60 or so attempts into it and only won through an unhealthy amount of cheese.

Rocket punch (blast) would probably be a better replacement for the Nikita but would violate the rules of the challenge I guess. It would also be possible without fultons but very difficult - the extraction chopper can take soldiers. By the way fuck you for doing a max volume jumpscare that's some basic shit but I still respect the time and effort that went into the video.

Thank you for the laughs throughout the video. You definitely have a new subscriber, boss.

This video was a blast to watch. Cannot wait to see what else you've done and will do!

I really liked the video I don’t think I’ve seen anyone do something like this before I hope you make more

“For those of you who haven’t played MGS1 - and don’t worry, I’m right there with you…” *closes video immediately*

2:15 For obvious reasons, any MGS1 New Game+ unlockables should not be included on this list. Also, whilst CQC is not allowed, I think things like: - Grab and move an enemy around, - Gun Hold-Up, - Basic punch punch kick combo, .. are allowed. Also no moving while crouching. Only prone or straight up standing. Only basic running speed. Save Games only when just entering a new area. MGSV has these functions somewhat so it’s doable and works well especially during missions.

Snake kills a child miller: “AMAZING mission complete 👏👏👏👏 that’s why your the best boss”

13:50 made me laugh so hard damn! Great content!

Fun video to watch good job editing this makes it watchable

Boss: Kills a child Miller: LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

To respond during certain dialogue prompts like when Miller asks you to say “kept you waiting” hit triangle or Y depending on your console. I always spam it too

Not sure why you only have 62 subs but I’m sure as shit subbing lol.

High quality content here. Keep it up!

one of the most fun vids I watched in a while, fantastic stuff!

One thing about rule 2: You are forced to have Meryl with you before Psycho Mantis, so it's fitting application-wise

I have a tip for you on Traitor's Caravan. Go to where the truck is stationed before it even moves, once the Skulls cutscene plays, IMMEDIATELY run to the entrance of Nova Braga Airport (where the watch tower is), the Skulls will teleport in front of you and IMMEDIATELY run back to the truck and fulton it (you can fulton stuff in this challenge right?). Once you're done with that just exfiltrate or call a helicopter, yes the Skulls will chase you but you can just juke them.

Yo I love MGS thanks for keeping it alive bro love your playstyle too 👍🏻

The stealth camouflage doesn't work in the final mission, they still agro on you when wearing it. I spent over 7 hours trying to get all the mission tasks on the mission for the 100% achievement.

Love your vids you earned a subscriber today!!

This channel deserves more subscribers i personally would love to see more metal gear solid

A Quiet exit is the test of a true warrior.

10:01 One time while I was trying to save the prisoners inside the Palace the tank aggroed a decoy I place down and fired at the Jeep killing all 3 of the passengers including Malak. I hope the tank operators were punished for that.

"if you haven't played Metal Gear Solid 1, and don't worry, I'm right there with you-" ...God, I'm old.

Boss, you killed a child? Amazing! That right there is why you’re the best, boss!

I'd love to see more of this kind of content! I don't want to sound like a "I'm not like other viewers" kind of comment, but holy fuck, you're underrated! Maybe you could do a similar video but playing as Raiden or Gray Fox, because this format is definitely worth watching!

You could have just killed quiet in the first mission to justify not doing the last one

Cambell: "Snake, we've given you some state of the art tech for this mission. A iDroid, a device that can act as a map and lets you review documents and audio files. It can scan documents as well. We've also equiped you with a Fulton Recovery System, or FRS. Supplies are limited, im afraid, so use them sparingly. It's to grand a mission to rely on OSP, its a dessert, after all. The odds of finding gear in the dessert is a far cry, so you'll be granted a selection of fire arms. It's still a solo mission, so you'll be on your own but we still have you're Codec support. Also, umm.. don't get mad, but we also confiscated your cigarettes" Snake: "WHAT?!" Campbell: "we replaced it with an electric cigarette. It still gives you that kick, but it doesnt give off the smell, that would alert you to the enemy, and you dint leave behind any butts"

A Quiet Exit can be made a fair bit easier by going up to the hill at the back left of the ruins (if facing it from desert side), big ol rock for cover and far enough back that Quiet can take out foot guys while you can still hit tanks EDIT: you did hide there once but moving left and right makes it significantly easier to avoid damage, peeking same side just means that tank is gonna target that peek

I've never seen someone so intentionally avoid stealth lmao

Peak Comedy, I lost it when you had to save Huey lmao!

You are so underated bro, great video!❤

I am SO glad someone else feels the same way as I do about Kaz saying GTFO

Cool video. Love seeing mgs content

for the oilfield mission, there's actually a glitch to get there faster, if you happen to go right and travel towards it in the open field, about the time you cross a puddle of water, the game will trigger the cutscene in the oilfield and instantly teleport you inside the facility.

When the game’s script forces you to break your rule set, you didn’t fail your challenge.

If Solid Snake had no problem defeating both Phantom Snake and Big Boss I wouldn't see why would Solid Snake have any problems with MGS5.

you do actually have access to a jeep during the end sequence of mgs1

Dope channel idea bro. Lol mad I didn’t think of this one. Keep these up. 💯🙏🏽

The true Metal Gear Solid experience is 'On Site Procurement' for your weapons and items. The first game you only started with a pack of cigs that Snake smuggled in... and that's it. All other weapons and equipment were gotten on the site of Shadow Moses Island. :P I'm saying that in a joking manner partially because I don't know what you can get from just scavenging around in this game.

What do you mean you're right there with me? Surely you must have played this timeless masterpiece...

This video is hilarious, please do more mgsv challenges, and for your sanity don’t do a quite exit every run

I have been getting a lot of small channel recommendations lately! I am glad to have found your channel.

More of this please! Really good commentary, pretty engaging and funny

First time I'm seeing an MGSV challenge. Definitely subbing for more

I wonder if the speedrun community found a skip for that car ride yet

The most insane thing in mgs for me has got to be miller canonically starting McDonalds

Thoroughly enjoyed this dude, was surprised to see you only had a few hundred subs.
