Metal Gear Solid 4 - Final Boss 

I didn't even notice til just now how his name changes throughout the fight from Liquid, to Liquid Ocelot, to just Ocelot by the end as he regains "himself" even though he intentionally gave himself the hypnotherapy to believe he was liquid snake. Cool detail though ni this fight.

Ocelot was the only guy that met all snakes. Greatness.

when MGS2 lifebars came in: it should've said "Iroquois Pliskin"

Fitting that a war began by The Boss and Big Boss should be ended by their descendants.

I liked that part “You are pretty good"

5:27 Snake: LIQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!! Liquid: SNAAAAAAAKE!!!!! Me: EPIIIIIIIIIIC!!!!!

Just the level of presentation quality alone (especially 7:20-7:37) makes this fight once of the best of all time. If you saw just gameplay of this, like 2 ragdolls in a wrestling match or something, it might be shit. But the Music, the Animation, and all the Emotions leading up to this fight... Even better is, if you don't know Metal Gear's history all that well (no one blames you), all the emotions of the fight, all the respect/rivalry shown between these two characters throughout the series, is exemplified before the real fight, which only sweetens everything. This scene knows what it wants to be, then expects higher than that, and then surpasses those expectations. Kojima confirmed Legendary Director

Never in my 20 years of life have I seen a better ending, Or a better series for that matter.The Metal Gear Solid series completed my childhood,

Say what you want about the game one of the best final boss fights ever.

3:04 is surely deliberate.

To this day, I say this is one of the best boss fights in gaming history

Ahh never seen such a brotherly bond

Now THAT is a final boss fight.

In the end. Two old men fighting a war that had already been abolished. Man I'm happy I grew along with Metal Gear Solid.

The moment they inject each other the life and saw Solid Snake and Liquid health bar with MGS1 style, i just cried of pure emotion!

I remember watching my dad play these games throughout my childhood, when I watched him play this part he had an expression I’ve never seen him make

The final battle between the son of The Boss and the son of Big Boss. And it was epic.

I can't help but to imagine that this fight is actually happening all in their heads as they glare at each other across the table during lunch at the old folks home...

NOT FOR HONOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR BUT FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

5:27 My friend: "Hey man I'm going to the fridge you want anything to drink?" Me:

Tears on 11 minutes when Snake Eater music comes on.

So to snake its solid vs liquid in a fight to survive But in ocelot's head its ocelot vs big boss in a friendly duel that ocelot just wants to prove himself Thats really f***ing sad

I personally believe this is the best ending in gaming history. I love this so much. I purposely made two save files just to always go back and play this ending over and over.

4:34 It always made me laugh how snake goes for a round house kick and actual just throws himself at Ocelot and he fucking catches him. Hilarious.

Who else enjoyed watching two old people fight?

"Meme" was a normal word back then.

So the end of MGS4 is two old people beating each other to death on a boat?

5:32 4 years old when they see a cobra in the zoo

I just noticed that Snake used the same needle as Ocelot. Hope he didn't have any diseases or the ending could have gone down differently. Big Boss: "You're not going to die from Foxdie.... Snake: "That's great" Big Boss: "But you got AIDS from Ocelot so you're probably still gonna die" Snake: "Shit"

17:32 This brief little clip here of the one frog soldier comforting the other is one of my favorite scenes in the whole game. It's just a little reminder that under all the armor and weapons and systems and equipment and nanomachines, at the end of the day they're all still human.

I have never enjoyed two old men beating the absolute shit out of each other more than now.

I've been shocked when I discovered that after all, in all the Metal Gear saga, Revolver Ocelot was the good guy. Everything was a setup, since before Shadow Moses, to destroy the Patriots. And Snake was an unaware pawn, who just made the work for the Patriots. Funny to think that the player always used "the bad" characters. Hideo trolled us all . But, in the end, Snake redeemed himself for his mistakes. Kojima managed to create a game in which every single character is a true hero. Since the beginning to the end of the Saga. Best game ever.

7:03 respect.

6:03 when both you and the music realize that the endless fighting between brothers is pointless.

The Patriots memes. So is Metal Gear actually a personification of the internet?

6:48 It was this moment that really drove it home. After their long enmity, these two were determined to end it properly, as arch foes should.

2008 was an amazing year with excellent games we had GTA 4 Fallout 3 MGS 4 Dead Space DMC 4 Gears Of War 2 Ninja Gaiden 2 and BURNOUT Paradise

When your dad meets your father in-law.

The son of Big Boss vs the son of the Boss. It all comes full circle.

Possibly the greatest fight scene in a video game. It perfectly directs their eternal fight, their respect for each other, who they are, the snake eater theme starts playing, the music changes, its just so epic.

What's amazing about this scene and boss fight isn't really the fight itself. It's just the context of everything. We've seen these two duke it out in the past, and often we'd think how awesome it was watching them battle, how cool it is to be a badass like Snake, taking out everything in his path to save the world. And initially that's how it seems here too. But then we get partway through, the two scream at each other, the sad music starts playing, and we realize what's actually happening here. These are two broken men. Broken by their genetics, by their purposes, by their very existence. No matter how much they might want to, they cannot stop fighting. Because they are predisposed to hating each other even when they really don't, and they are designed specifically to be machines of war even when they want to live in peace. There is nothing left for them to do but "settle a score" that really amounts to little more than sibling rivalry. It doesn't serve a purpose except to give them an excuse to keep doing what they were "programmed" to do. That's why they don't even try to hog all the nanomachines in those tubes. They make a show of trying to in some instances, but really, they're just looking for ways to keep going. If that means stealing some, they will, and if that means giving some to the other, they will. It's admirable--even respectable--and yet it is one of the most depressing things imaginable. It's not even easy to tell if someone can WIN this fight, because once the battle is over, their whole purpose for existing is gone. Will they be free, or will they be lost? Perhaps Hideo Kojima is trying to use them as an analogy for war, but personally, I prefer to think it's just the inevitable result of the journey these characters have been on. It's really incredible stuff. Metal Gear Solid has always been overwritten with repetitive dialogue, wacky absurd scenarios, and so many cutscenes it barely feels like you're playing a game, but moments like these remind me why it's always been worth it. It's a shame the series is now dead, though I blame that partially on Kojima himself since he's apparently notorious for being arrogant. Let's hope Death Stranding can serve as a worthy follow-up.

LIQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID!!! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!! *4 years later AAARMSTROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG!!!

This is like watching an epic battle between two gods

6:28 to 7:35 is without a doubt the best part of the fight and I legitimately get goosebumps everytime I see it

The more I learn about this series, the more this boss fight becomes metaphorically strong. Ahhh the feeeels...

I love the nostalgic health bar.

i think when Liquid Ocelot took on different personas during each phase of the fight Snake does as well and each one have very important meaning in my eyes, Solid Snake VS Liquid phase: during this phase Liquid wants to kill Snake no matter how old he is, he won't stop until he surpasses his brother to be Superior then he is. Solid Snake vs Liquid Ocelot phase: Snake is trying to finish what he started back in metal gear solid 2 during the big shell incident as much as Liquid and Ocelot. Naked Snake vs Ocelot phase: Ocelot takes over when he wants a rematch with his rival Big Boss and since Solid Snake surprised big boss he wants to surpass the next big thing, surpass the son of Big Boss and fighting for the true title of Boss. there's a lot happening in this fight even im missing our seeing. But every true MGS fans knows exactly the true meaning in this final fight with liquid and ocelot

*"But... we still have a score to settle."* Goosebumps every time

Damn as i get older and hearing ocelot saying "your pretty good" brings back all the flashbacks of my childhood. A real chiling moment for us old school gamers.

11:00 I like how it says Naked Snake vs Ocelot. Very deep.

I love how the fight evolves in multiple ways throughout the fight. the music starts as mg1 music, then mg2, then mg3, and then finally mg4, it is a really nice moment of nostalgia and a reminder of how much lead up the this moment. I also love how the health bar names change as the fight progresses, Ocelots name starts as liquid, then changes to liquid ocelot, then finally just ocelot, and every time it changes we see a clip of him In all the games he has been in. Snakes name also changes but on a smaller level, he starts off as solid snake and changes to naked snake near the finale phase, i don’t really know why considering naked snake is big boss but a cool detail none of the less.

what Ocelot said from 14:23 onward is all correct America will descend into Chaos Chaos that Snake can no longer stop Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

One of the greatest boss fights ever. Even if it's just a straight up fist fight, you can feel that the entire franchise had led up to that moment.

Idk why but *Old* *Snake* is the most heart touching piece I've ever heard. I used to play the title screen of MGS4 just to fall asleep to this

Trump vs Biden at the top of the White House

After all of the guns and vehicles and more guns and explosions and rockets and guns alllllll comes down to a good old fist fight......classic....

Sometimes your greatest enemy turns out to be your greatest friend

If only MGSV had ended on a fight like this between Boss and Solid Snake.

I love how the combat in this section is like a combination of CQC and the classic punch punch kick combo

Dude at 16:17 my heart drops!!! Flashback of the decade!!

The mgs series can be so stupid sometimes, but right here 6:00 when the music starts, damn awesome. Two tired, old war dogs, with no more battles to fight, barely able to stand on there own feet, they give it 1 last go. war may be horrible but its the only thing they know.

best boss fight in gaming yeah I said it

5:27 When you wake up and your mouth is dry

5:12 Like two boys fighting over something. "Alright, lemme use this syringe.." "No, it's mine!" "Nuh-uh, I called it!" *Breaks finger* "Moooooom!" Also, something odd.. at 7:40, Liquid takes more damage from the crash to the ground... okay...?

No way MGS5 will surpass this game story wise.

I love how in Snake eater Eva is about to shoot Ocelot while he is running away and Snakes stops her saying that he's still too young and Eva says "You're going to regret stopping me"

This is it bois. Nothing will ever top this. The very end of the Metal Gear saga injecting the whole trip itself completely from beggining to end in a single scenario. Nothing can invoke so many memories and feels from childhood, teenage and adulthood like this. It's not just Metal Gear, it's our life with it. Thanks Kojima, we need nothing else.

The funny thing is, is that Solid and Liquid never were enemies actually. They had the same goal: Freeing themself from the goverment! This is what Big Boss wanted.

Metal Gear Solid final boss: Pretty smart Metal Gear Solid 3 final boss: Pretty fuckin' smart Metal Gear Solid 4 final boss: FUCKING GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENIUSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

I’m here before everyone recognised the death stranding boss fight with Higgs.

the music in this series is amazing.

This makes me cry manly tears every time.

6:26 - 7:20 Perfect szenery and proof of a legendary fight between two good warriors who respect each other...

Friend: What do you want to drink? Me: 5:27

5:28 "LIIQUUIIID !!!" .. the reason why nobody can replace David Hayter as the voice of Snake / Big Boss. Pity Kojima did not realize it

When I have grandchildren Grandchildren: grandpa what's this (holding mgs4) Me:sit down and let me tell you a story you will never forget.............

I love how for each round of the fight each stance pays homage to an earlier battle. At 10:55 for example Ocelot makes a gesture just like his younger self in Metal Gear Solid 3. :D

Who agrees that Outer Haven should've been a stage for Ultimate in place of Shadow Moses?

7:05 The best moment ever

I never get tired of watching this!

By the way anyone else notice the boss references when he throws his trench coat into the wind?

My favorite part, is that the next game chronologicaly is about an androgynous cyborg dude figthing against the memes of destruction

"You're pretty good."(Turns from Liquid to Ocelot.) Dies by his foe. The best game cutscene Kojima broke the record for the greatest cutscene in a game.

When Snake Eater plays...the shit goes real!

Can you imagine the motion capture for this? LOL

The sound of the trumpets playing at 17:56 was so impactful and brought tears 😭 to my eyes For it’s the sound of the end for the most amazing video game trilogy of all time.

I like how the fight ends up. It's not Solid Snake and Liquid fighting. It's just two old men slugging at each other.

when it comes to metal gear the Close quarters are half real and half as to seeing how snake and liquid fought, those two been through alot of shit. metal gear solid is one of the best campaigns games ever

It's even more epic when you think that this is the son of The Boss and the son of Big Boss fighting each other!

When the 2 smart kids get different answers

I aspire to be in great ass shape when I reach that age.

12:45 trump vs biden debates be like

Better than the TLOU2 ending

6:07 i’m not crying, you are!😭

Meanwhile on WWE...

*they inject each other with health* *i cry* *fight like two grandmas* "Welp..."

6:05 when that song starts i get goosebumps

I cannot wait for the phantom pain any longer

They shouldn't have killed Liquid in MGS1!! This ending would have been truly epic had they developed Liquid's character more in the previous games, and made Snake fight him here (I always found Ocelot's "possession" by Liquid to be the silliest plot point in the series).

One accelerated aged to be an old man One aged gracefully to witness all the major events that happened in his life to reach this moment.
