I Forced my friends to play METAL GEAR SURVIVE 

first and you are really good youtuber jsut wanted to say thanks for being channel of the year

Love you papi

Remember when steam gave me the notification 4 hours late that was fun

Just so you know, Kev, Metal Gear is even older than that. The first game came out in 1987

nno

Oh God that happened?

His friends must have the patience of an saint to put up with Aliens Colonial Marines and MG Survive.

man I remember that game being fun, until the queen bossfight.

@@VUND-25 Funniest part is that alien ai in colonial marines sucked so hard because somebody made typo in ini file But the extraction and extermination modes were pretty fun,playing as alien was pretty cool

@@weaponizedautism3269 the last I played that game was like 4 year ago and I never had gold so I only ever played the campaign with my brother

The games multiplayer is a very fun and intense tower defense game. I use to play it all the time before it became impossible to play with a full group. Even kev said he was starting to enjoy it in the video. this game was held back by the bad reviews because most reviewers didn’t play past the first few hours and it’s very obvious if you’ve played the game. It may not be a very good metal gear game but it is a good game it just takes some time to get there. There’s a reason it was in the top ten best selling games for that year in Japan. The single player is not the focus of this game but it is an ok experience on its own solely from the gameplay(story is shit tbh). The single player is just a way to get you comfortable with the mechanics for the multiplayer.

@@dirpyturtle69 then they should of made there own tower defense zombie game and not inserted it into metal gear. if more people did give it a chance konami would made sure that the ONLY metal gear we would ever get after life titanfall after apex launched.

​@@housewilma4904 It's Konami, they were just concerned about trying to make a quick buck before switching to pachinko

​@@dirpyturtle69 "this game was held back by the bad reviews because most reviewers didn’t play past the first few hours and it’s very obvious if you’ve played the game" - I have played long enough to get platinum on PS4 and I can tell you that Survive is a steaming pile of garbage. It utterly fails not only as a Metal Gear game, but even as just a 'game' on its own. It is an asset flip with everything good that MGSV had stripped away, then you saddle it with annoying timewasting mechanics that no one asked for, with player "progression" amounting to absolutely gimping you to embarrassing levels at the beginning and letting you go just barely get close enough to what you could do in V after you've spent untold amount of hours on mindnumbing grinding. Then the sheer petty greed is what drives the final nail in the coffin where Konami deadass demands that you fork over a tenner if you want to make a separate save slot to check out the male-/female-only duds that you could get from multiplayer. And multiplayer being good? Excuse me? It has *one* mode that is shallower than a puddle, with handful of maps, braindead AI, requiring you to pay up for monthly subscription if you made the terrible mistake of playing it on console instead of PC; not to mention that this useless little mode is the sole reason they could make the flimsy excuse of "the game has to be permanently online-only (even if you play purely singleplayer) to prevent "cheating", so have fun living by the game's schedule where you can be booted at any moment because we decided to do an unannounced server maintenance". Shame on Konami and shame on you. P.S.: "There’s a reason it was in the top ten best selling games for that year in Japan" - yeah, because it is a metal gear game and majority of the diehard fanbase is in Japan. What a shocker.

@@dirpyturtle69 how much did Konami pay you to write this comment?

He just violated the Geneva conventions

Satan will keep the doors to Hell closed to Kev.

@@tonypeppermint5329 Satan will give Kev his job

Why? It's a fun game.

I've lost hours to random ass crashes after the 8th crash i was done with the game... Indeed this is a cruel game to make anyone play

Next time he should force them to play something good like BloonsTD6

Absolutely evil.

Survive is actually a good game, don't listen to cringe helmet

@@BillSchrader good try Konami ceo

@@BillSchrader "My name is Bill Schrader and I don't understand jokes"

I wouldn't say perfect game... Konami ruined by putting a deadline and leaving Kojima out of development for the later half of the game causing the metal gear fight with Eli to be scraped.

@@simonsonlyfan8600 perfect as in the sense of something to build off of. We all know it had a bunch of cut content at the end, thanks to Konami.

The multiplayer was fun. We had a blast. Now i will say this if you dont like looting, survival, and balloon tower defence like games. You wont enjoy this.

@@simonsonlyfan8600 Only because he was caught spending dev time and money meant for MGS5 on Silent Hills....the reason MGS5 is such a shit game is because of Kojima's own actions.

Well, it's Konami just look at how the silent hill HD collection turned out.

His PC sucked

The joys of PC gaming. PC games are great when they want to work properly with your hardware, but when they decide they randomly hate you, they conjure up the weirdest issues you can imagine for no explainable reason until you scour the depths of the internet to find the one other person who had the same issue, and hope they found a solution.

​@@BillSchraderThe game sucked.

@@oompalumpus699 Didn't suck any worse than the phantom pain buddy

the story can also become unbearably painful and impossible to complete if you don't just grind it out too, the resource hell and constant micromanaging can drive people away early

@@meowxeno There is no need to grind. You literally win with QTEs.

I think there's a thematic reasoning behind this game structure. The idea is that your single player experience of Metal Gear games is kind of "too long for its own good" like all those codec scenes, and "grindy" because there's so many games and it's tough to track them all down IRL nowadays. Then, the whole point of playing Metal Gear isn't just to have this "single-player experience," it's to share your experience with other players and enjoy their perspectives on their own experiences.

@@meowxeno this is only true if you do zero exploration and also don’t interact with any of the base mechanics. Resources are so plentiful in this game once you get past the beginning that The survival mechanics are a joke and ammo is so inexpensive and easy to produce that the only reason not to use guns is because your carrying capacity is too limited to not use melee weapons during the tougher parts of the game.

@@meowxeno As a Monster Hunter World Player I unironically really like this game.

Agreed, but you also get sub classes and other things like weapon perks, sprint and movment boosts. Its not bad but it supports a certain kind of player who enjoys survival games.

It does have it. You can customize weapons in Phantom Pain once you track down the Legendary Gunsmith in side ops.

@@mr.battle20 i think quar means the clothes and weapon options. Like u can look as silly as u want and customize all individual clothes.

@@saltymedpac3943 You can change the colors/camo on the weapons. As for clothes, you can change the camo and a bunch of the possible patterns can be on the silly side. No Metal Gear REX or fish hats, though, I guess.

@@mr.battle20 Nah thats not wht i mean, you can have, t shirt, pants, gloves, helmet, and then cosmetics like snakes bandana. u can change anyone of those to any camo provided you find it out in the fog

Well it makes them more money to make Silent Hill Patchinko machines. So *HIT THE LEVER!*

Why?

As a metal gear fan, I liked this game. It's not a metal gear game and had it just been called Survive, it would have done better.

@@SleeprunnerInc Absolutely, but also i belive the whole drama behind kojima is what set it off. Think about it. Metal gear rizing is such a step out and it did amazing. This did pritty much the same thing but it got review bombed to absolute DOG WATER. By almost all the game critics. I recomend LOWEs vid. Dude explains it way better than me!

Personally I hated how different it was from the mgs games and it wasn't really my type of game but if you enjoyed it I'm glad you did

@@SleeprunnerInc you literally need have zero standards to have fun with this game, you can get the same amount of fun with a stick that looks like a sword

TRUE

EA like :"Write that down, write that down!"

I've went through the game without buying a single MTX.

its literally not a requirement to pay anything at all, nor is it "pay to win" when all it does is speed up the grind, you can pay to essentially halve the grind but the endgame is literally the same

@@meowxeno its not pay2win it only skips 400 hours of grinding the same spots 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

@@JonPL Why? surely fapping would be a better way to pass time than this torture.

I'm the same there... Except when it's dark souls. Cuz then I panic.

chronologically this is a mid point in the mgs story

I mean,, its the middle of the overall story And the game is literally unfinished but they shipped it anyway still an amazing game though, dont think im knockin it

How dare you insult Undead Nightmare like that!

@@Psycokiller338 they are both games that used the same engine as their predecessor and was about more super natural elements than the original was. Sounds about the same to me

@@venomshake8187 hes saying that undead nightmare was actually good.

Yeah, it could have worked, with another developer or in another universe.

I mean...it doesn't matter is you use the microtransations So that's the only good thing about the game

its still a great game if you can get over how shitty africa is introduced, like yeah Afghanistan i know the map from mgsv woo then just some random cut parts of the africa map without anything cool, its such a small area to explore compared to afghan and the story becomes so short, but then again blame corponami and their greed for what happened, kojima deserved the raise he asked for and they did this because of it

It's disgusting.

Seethe over it

@@meowxeno tbh the african area was more fun to explore than the afghan one, it had more enemies variations, even through it was small compared to Afghan, it was alright.

I did :(

@@king_of_codbo255 I bet it was a game 🥲👍🏾

Freaking THANK YOU! Kev's great, but that was a goof for sure. I hope he keeps playing Metal Gear games though.

Metal Gear has been around for 35 years not 20. He needs fax brother

Oh man I botched that up. What I get for researching at 2am, haha.

Thank you for doing this for me.

You did the research for me. I knew it was older than 20 years.

The wave defense was what made the game fun. It was intense and required skill and team work, I don’t see how the gameplay mechanics would work without it. the story mode was meh but the multiplayer was fantastic. Also worth noting that this was a planned dlc (the idea of the zombies and the base defense elements and the survival elements even came from Kojima before he left according to designer documents) for mg5 that was made into a full game, which is why the story mode feels so bland and incomplete compared to the phenomenal multiplayer because it was originally meant to be a few missions and nothing more then a way to introduce the backdrop of the story and the gameplay mechanics to the player and was not intended to be a full length story campaign

I'm with you. It's a horrible Metal Gear game, but at its cheap release price? Yeah, it reaches the 'dizzying heights of occasionally not boring', to paraphrase Zero Punctuation. Quite bland and repetitive, but actually a reasonable time sink. The game's bad reputation just comes from the fact that this was following MGS5, and it was after Kojima's departure from Konami after they went all Pachinko.

No you don't.

@@dansmith1661 once you get npcs that mill about they need food, water, and medical supply's, and if you dont play for a few days they can die when your offline.

Or at least making a game of prequel for MGS4 only focusing on Raiden before his transformation to cyborg, like the original MGS Rising. But yeah, a sequel for MGRR is a must. And I want to see Rose and John again.

@@crystalwings4520 if a MGRR sequal is made then raiden would probably be the villain considering the scene at the end of the game

@@bruhgod123 Idk, he's more like an anti-hero at that point.. Then again, he's not going to be another Snake, just like what happened to Venom Snake.

@@crystalwings4520 im pretty sure raiden was brainwashed by senator armstrong

You mean eso channel?

You're horrendously wrong, never talk about features you don't know about again. You are talking directly out of your ass. The second character slot is so you can basically have a second mother base to collect resources from, as well as other daily challenges being able to be done on repeat and more animals to hunt. You clearly didn't get why that was a thing. It's not a save file, it's part of your original character.

Dude if youre on pc and you want to link up. Hit me up. I love the hell out of this game. It has its flaws but i have so much fun

@@saltymedpac3943 I’m on Xbox

I haven’t played in awhile

@@nagisa3523 Do you stream?! i will watch

It’s great

Big anime fan here

I definitely want to play that again

Still not bored Me and my friends still play this on the PS4 enjoy the coop mode but single player is just awful. I got all the OP stuff from armors and weapons, didn't use bows n arrows, just exclusively using guns and elemental spear and we divided into roles. Me and my friend as berserker, while other 1 is base defense and builder. Overall, it's 50/100.

Actual 🧢 great game

@@etcelmitten1381 until it gets repetitive.

@@etcelmitten1381 your tripping

@@jamonbrown29 nah you bugging bro actual good game

Exactly my opinion, I was very disappointed with many of my favorite creators who all said the same: no stamina, no health, zero equipment, zero expectations, skip all tutorials and then they complain how shitty the story and the gameplay is. The team tried their best and have made many updates and fixes to this game. This game is of course not the best Zombie and survival game, but it is a game to play with friends and have fun or goof around. I also like how all of them show their characters dehydrated and on the verge of death because of starvation and than complain how their character can’t sprint or take hits, like bro what do you expect? Also running with gas-mask in a dusted area takes a lot of stamina and inner strength because its harder to breathe, so it makes sense that character has to make more breaks. I don’t understand why he ran at the beginning of the story mode right into the dust, Vergil tells you at least a hundred times that its dangerous to enter without an oxygen-tank. I had a lot of fun with this game and a lot of my friends to. Like I said in the beginning it no Game Award Nomination but it certainly doesn’t deserve the hate.

@@Sontech2015 I'm happy to see that I am not the only one.

Always was zombies, even in MGS5.

Here's the cannon timeline order and preferred version of the game if you can get them MGS 3 Subsistence MGS peace walker MGSV GZ MGSV MGS MGS2 Substance MGS4

You are wrong. Go play the real Metal Gear Solid

Cope for a shitty game

@@thehabit635 I bet you didn't even play it

@@karpov200275 Playing it, nearly 100%, it's shit, doesn't mean you can't enjoy it when you have FRIENDS that can make ANYTHING ENJOYABLE but it's a game that doesn't want people to play it.

@@TheKazuma410P enjoyment is a personal perception. People can find more enjoyment in games then others. It's just a fact

@@thebeardedmasochist Absolutely, you're still lucky to have people to play with though.

Same here I still play it. Most people I know that gave it a fair chance actually like it.

It's not entirely bad. I got stuck on the last mission though, they send a massive amount of waves and my defenses just cant handle them. The automated turrets do good damage, but they don't take much to get destroyed.

I'd try it if it could be played offline. But the fact that Konami is literally charging more for it than any of the Metal Gear games is hilarious.

@@channel45853 They are? Yeah that's hilarious considering how much it underperformed in sales.

@@devinwalters8769 I'm pretty sure it's ten dollars more than the usual price of Metal Gear games. Which is 19.99, their usual price.

@@channel45853 Lol, they should realize that's not gonna help it's case. When i bought it, it was actually on sale for $10.

People also say that forspoken will be called in 5-10 years an underrated masterpiece. Sorry, no. Not even if quality drops even further some games are just bad. Of course there will always be someone that likes something no matter how objectively bad it is (for me it's brink, to this day it's my favorite game in terms of pvp shooters)

Keep playing until you unlock co-op. It gets really fun then. You get way more resources and weapons from co-op too

?

@@DDshark_ Metal Gear originally was made for the MSX in Japan. This version was ported to the NES.

@@KnightGamer724 yeah but not metal gear survive

@@DDshark_ Sometimes people reference playing the series when talking about the latest game. OP wasn't talking about Survive, he was talking about the Metal Gear franchise in general.

@@KnightGamer724 ok it’s just strange

haha yeah, I botched that intro phrase (my 2am writing seemed to all make sense at the time). I was going for the series is 20+, highlighting at MGS in 1998 specifically when the series nailed an insane gameplay style, but it ended up sounding like the series is barely 20 years old, that's my bad

@@Kevduit Understandable. Still enjoyed watching the suffering. Also learned to never alt-tab in Survive.

It does get better after a while... the problem is that "while" is around 15 hours or so.

Yes me

Except the fact nobody wanted metal gear survive 🤣

@@Dr.RojoMcDelly your right, i even hated it, then i asked why i hated it. Dunkey was a great spokes person for equality of gaming and i listened to him and ZOMBIES?! in a mgs game whaaT? Except MGS3 had dead guys that tried to kill u, mgs 4 had dudes possesed buy the nano machines, mgs5 had vocal parasites. AAAANNNND if you know the story of mgr and the NANOMACHINES SON then do i have a PLOT TWIST FOR YOU

@@Dr.RojoMcDelly yes I did

@@saltymedpac3943 why it’s a good game smh 🤦‍♂️

how much did they pay you?

@@aiharakotokorulesbluerose4170 Some elements are fun, but I definitely would not say it's anymore than mediocre

@@lordofthecucks6553 To this day, it still has some of the best temporary base defense shit in any game anywhere. It's a system that, with limits, is infinitely superior to a host of other games in the same genre and should and would have been emulated if not for buttmad fanboys. It starts strong and peaks in the jungle when you defend with mortars and then quickly falls down but a better publisher working with a different studio could make it a solid 10/10 alas

same, i cleared area of the map. the surprise of coming out of the building in the one mission and catching a glimps of the huge creature in the dust was fantastic. the grind was fun, was a wizard with the bow.

Same here. I still play it

@@evancavalier647 once you start playing co-op you don't have to grind so much and it gets really fun in my opinion

Exactly

Same

We got this instead of a fully complete MGSV
