Metal Gear Solid inspired me to live in Japan, which inspired me to share other cultures through film. Check out the teaser for my new documentary about Japanese society and skateboarding: • Skate in Japan - Docum...
They gave him a medal for killing the person he loved the most, they gave him a title that would remind him of that moment, and everyone would know him for that title, a title that would remind him that he was used. While, the true origin of the title would be forgotten by history, and by all, except for him.
And then, he claimed that same title as his own when he felt she abandoned her identity as a soldier. Only to realize decades later that what she had wanted wasn't to attain more peace, but to preserve the peace they already had.
Given all that happened in the Metal Gear Solid series including Revengance? The entire world given it will now be under perpetual war and not even the soldiers he took under his wing will be safe.
@@zaer-ezart His face is like "all I've been through, all the sacrifices I made, just for.... this? A medal, salutations, and an article on a newspaper?"
His facial expression just shows he’s truly hurt , he doesn’t want any of this knowing he was manipulated into killing the boss , the person he cared so much for . The fact she’s gonna be forgotten and be viewed as a war criminal when in reality she sacrificed herself for her country.
There's one thing about this ending that bothers me, not so much in the ending itself, but in what it tells. I mean, it pains me to think that there could actually be people like Boss who were forced to die under the public disgrace of treason, but that were actually heroes.
"There are no heroes in war. The only heroes I know are either dead or in prison. One or the other." - Solid Snake P.S.I like how Big Boss's and Solid's views on war are similar, and not just for fanservice, they have their own reasons to say these things.
fkjetfox, maybe, just maybe, if The Boss wakes up as a zombie, she gets the Patriot as her weapon. Also, the Patriot is probably a fitting weapon for.. well... A true patriot
@@illberightback5015 Solid Snake and Liquid Snake are born, setting into the events of MG1, MG2, MGS, MGS2 and MGS3. I like to pretend the other prequel games dont extist so i didnt include them in that list.
If you really think about it, if Volgin never fired the nuke, the entire Metal Gear series would of never happened. The Boss wouldn't be killed by Snake, and Snake would never become Big Boss which means no Sons of Big Boss.
But to the Boss it was so beautiful that she died because she loved her country and planet so much she didn't want either to be hurt by the weapons of war. Although its sad she knew that she would live on as a true patriot in the eyes of the man she loved most, Big Boss.
Actually (if it makes you feel any better) by the time of MGS4 Operation Snake Eater became public knowledge and the enemies start using a variation of her CQC. (Snake has codec conversation to Otacon about it).
You can feel the disgust and betrayal in Big Boss in this scene. Having to go through the charade...knowing all his team and the Government knew and willingly lied to him and sacrificed the Boss. Having served myself I've seen the Government and many officers turn their back on their own soldiers time and again for petty politics and prestige. I understand why Big Boss broke and became what he did.
It’s only the higher ups in Washington that knew. You don’t want many people to know something like that, so they’d never tell the people who are supporting their “actor” what was really going on.
I think the only one who understood Big Boss’ pain was Zero. Once he saw Big Boss’ face as he walked past him, he looks on and appears to close his eyes in grief as well. Good touch for how their future turned out.
MGSVs tapes reveal that Zero absolutely hated that he was also lied to and led an operation to kill one of his closest friends. Its why he stole the legacy for himself and founded "The Patriots".
Zero tried some much to bring Big Boss back into the patriots. Having members of Cipher to do so but it didn’t work but instead kick start the events of metal gear and it’s sequel.
@@rhamnation7236 And the sad thing is; Zero truly did care about big boss. He never hated them, but their ideologies clashed and they didn't agree on what was best. And even after so much bad blood, zero wanted to protect his friend while they themselves were deteriorating in health.
If you read her backstory you find out that the US treated her like shit and used her like a teenage boy's sock. Makes it even more insane she never once faltered in allegiance to her homeland
You can sum it the entire Big Boss's experience here while against Cobra Unit: He went out and held his "pain" after The Boss betrayed him. Conquered his "fear" to move forward. Determined his professionalism to reach the "end". Endured his "fury" for what Volgin had done. Overcame his "sorrow". And killed his "joy" after all he went through.
The very day that the screen was there, quiet, nothing happening...all blurry... That my friend was the day that a videogame finally triggered tears on my face, i was shocked about that lonely action to end everything. Unique and very very sad.
To this day, this is still my favourite ending in videogames. We see this man get thwon off a bridge breaking several bones, get beaten to near death, tortured with electricty, having his eye blown off and shot in the leg and it is at the end, while facing the gravestone of his mentor when he finally cries. Plus, for a PS2 game, it's amazing how real Snake's face looks when receives the medal, you can see the contempt.
To the end of the MGS 4, MGS 3 was my fav MGS game. But in the end... That end was VERY meaningful. That is the why my fav game and fav MGS game is the MGS 4. Because of the end.
Can Onur Oz that moment when BB dies, the cigarette falls and you have like 15 seconds of silence without movement before the screen blacks out and here's to you start... I was paralyzed in real life as well. That made me cry
Naked Snake, Big Boss, the most badass video game protagonist ever created and designed, is manipulated and lied to through the entire game and the end, he returns as a beaten and broken man who's lost everything due to actions he was required to do, that he willingly partook in, and as the game closes, he stand by the grave of the woman he loved, and a single tear rolls down his cheek. That is how Metal Gear Solid 3 ends, not with a bang, not with a whimper, but a sniffle.
+LOTO The Raw Taggin' Fraud-Ass Piece of Shit And from then on he became a fucking asshole who spat on her sacrifice and tried to create his own nation by controlling people. From great hero to great villain.
I love introductory and ending texts/timelines so much for some reason, there's something about them that makes me enjoy whenever they appear in any type of media, be it film, literature or even games.
I can see why people would call any other MGS their favorite game. But MGS 3 is so far the most polished, roundest game of the series with the most sophisticated overall design. They got every detail right, there are little to no weaknesses. The other games might be better this or that aspect but have their weak moments. MGS3 delivers a constant stream of quality.
@@khosrow mgs2 and mgs3 are the most perfect mgs games to be fair. Feeling devastated as you learn the truth as Raiden, and the hearbreaking truth about the Boss are some of the best and most emotional moments i ever had while playing video games
Thank you Hideo for teaching us why we must not be patriot. "Fighting was the only thing I was good at, but at least, I always fought for what I believed in" We have to be fighters, not soldiers.
A fighter fights for something, warriors do not...necessarly.It-s all about the terms.You dont say freedom-warrior, you say freedom-fighter. Plus, warrior is more a status.
This is the greatest game ever made. And that's astounding considering how good MGS1 & 2 were. Greatest ending ever. Heartbreaking. Completed it at least 20 times in my teens. Remarkable.
The Boss is one of the greatest characters of all time. Her sacrifice and the tragedy of her life is so compelling and well-written. MGS3 became my favorite game of all time after playing it, shit felt real. I felt so bad by the end of the game and I just love this series so much, thank you Kojima
The music and scenery at the moment Eva says “her memories her debriefing will endure only in your heart” one of the most beautifully tragic moments ever
Big Boss was such an irredeemable tyrant in MG2. Literally a warlord/dictator who used war to create war orphans who he would exploit to create loyal soldiers who would help him start the cycle all over again. An endless cycle of misery and manipulation under the guise of a "savior" all to further his own influence and power. But THIS ending did such a beautiful job of explaining the origin of what created that evil monster. And tbh it's all we really needed.
@@user-ip3fs9sc5b yeah i know but this guy said that the ending explained why big boss is evil in "mg2" i said that it was not big boss but solidus (asuming he meant mgs2 based on the description) and then you commented about the msx games. I think he may have been confused as the game states he is big boss early on when he isnt really
@@varunraman1020 Nobody would pay for an expensive operation like Venom's if he had no use, maybe Big Boss, but he was in a coma and with no Mother Base (and money), Venom was living another life after his own death. The principals of this were Zero and Ocelot
And this is how we see how Big Boss' journey is the reverse of Solid Snake's one: Both lost their mentors due to betrayal, but for Big Boss it was the beginning of his journey towards villainy. To Solid Snake, it was the beginning of his journey towards heroism.
Can we just appreciate Eva's amazing voice actress ? Can we just appreciate how the Boss is one of the best female characters ever written in all of fiction ? Can we just not care it's a video game ?
I wanted to comment about Eva, but you beat me to it. Her ultra sad voice is what I felt sold the scene, and nobody seems to mention it. Phenomenal acting in the MGS series.
And like The Boss, the true genius voice actress for EVA will always be obscured, hidden to all but a few people.. According to the MGS 3 voice director, Kris METAL GEAR WIKI ADVERTISEMENT METAL GEAR WIKI Suzetta Miñet EDIT Suzetta Miñet is the pseudonym of an unidentified voice actress who provided the English voice for EVA in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Little is known about her. Her absence from Comic-Con preceding Peace Walker's release caused many to speculate that Suzetta Miñet was an alias for an actress, which was later confirmed by David Hayter.[1] Some believed that she was actually Debi Mae West, although West denied this in an interview with Ryan Payton, during the 56th session of The Kojima Productions Report.[2] In an interview with The Codec, West again denied that she was Miñet. However, she did express shock at how similar they sound.[3] In a separate interview with The Codec, English voice director Kris Zimmerman confirmed that she also knew the identity of Suzetta Miñet, and stated that she didn't know whether it would ever become public knowledge but was not optimistic.[4] Zimmerman also stated that Miñet's use of a pseudonym had nothing to do with Konami and instead was a personal choice of the actress who played the role. She also expressed amusement at fan theories about Miñet's identity.[5]
@@thatguy4747Bro, she really did a fantastic job here!! I only wish that the actress behind EVA's voice would be open to accepting public admiration!!! Alas, Suzetta Miñet is a pseudonym. Also, I really think she nailed the seductress part, too!! I do wish though, that the music was somewhat lower though 6:29 and that the uploader showed the tears running down John/Naked Snake/Big Boss' face. Also-props to the Voice Actress for Mary/Maria from Silent Hill 2... I beat Snake Eater less than an hour ago (as of this Saturday November 18, 8:00 AM) and I wanted to watch the ending in 60FPS, as I played the PS2 version.
That's impossible. Because this is dozens and dozens of hours of game/cutscenes to arrive to this final scene. Starting from Metal Gear Solid 1. And years in the waiting. You can't do this with a movie (a series maybe). But it's very hard to build up the cinematography made by Kojima. That's why I think/hope there will never be a Metal Gear Solid live-action movie.
This was the only time a videogame made me cry. This is and will be the best ending of all time till now, and it won't be a better than this one, EVER in gaming history.
And yet apparently this ending wasn't clear enough for people to understand why Big Boss went rogue and set up Outer Heaven and Zanzibar Land and we had to have a whopping 3 "missing links" that did nothing but screw up the canon further and mess up Big Boss' established history.
wwemusicfanC peace Walker really established why he did it too. You're literally starting a mercenary group and he finally accepts the title as big boss
I am at conflict with the current MGS story... i dislike V as a whole, but then again, even before V, i've never thought Big Boss would do something like that. Even if betrayed by his government. He just didn't seem like the person to become "evil". But thats just my opinion. And if you ask me, why i don't like V... almost no cutscenes, no David Hayter (for obvious reasons), Ocelot seems like a different person, and not like the badass from MGS1/2/3/4. Also, Liquid for pretty much no reason. Codetalker adding not much to the story, Quiet, a sex-sells character with a stupid excuse, Skullface, hardly an enemy to remember, without any great story. Plus, some gameplay stuff, like FOB's, base management, empty open world (no civilians, all enemies, nothing to do in there, no setting up base)
I'll never forget playing this with my little brother, cheering as we beat The Boss...and then slowly melting into tears. And then "Way to Fall" came on. I had experienced the death of Aeris...THIS was like THAT to my brother, and I'm glad I was there for him. I love you Nic.
THIS is the moment you could see Big Boss eventually descending into villainy. This is all we needed. No MGS4 retconning his motivation, no Peace Walker trying to make him seem like a hero.
@@saketbakshi4235 Sorry, how does Peace Walker show him as a hero? He's profiting off of foreign conflicts and making nuclear weapons against UN international law. At the end he outright casts the Boss's will aside and embraces the name of Big Boss.
*History will never know what she did. Her story...her debriefing will endure only in your heart. Everything she did, she did for her country. She sacrificed her life and honor for her native land.* *She was a real hero; she was a real Patriot.*
My favorite moment in any Metal Gear game, which probably makes it my favorite moment in *any* game, is if you go into first-person view when John salutes her grave. The screen being completely blurred by his tears.
1:01 Always found it interesting how Snake was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross instead of the Medal of Honor. The Distinguished Service Cross is the second-highest of the top 10 military medals, behind only the Medal of Honor and is awarded to those who display “extraordinary heroism” amid military operations that involve either a foreign force that opposes the United States of America or in the service of a friendly foreign force “against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.” Since the US and Russia were not in direct conflict with one another and since Operation Snake Eater was such a top secret black op, it automatically makes Snake ineligible for the Medal of Honor. However, there's more to it than that... There is no higher decoration in the United States military than the Congressional Medal of Honor, as it's bestowed to military members who “distinguish themselves through conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life and above and beyond the call of duty,” according to the U.S. Department of Defense. Of the 40 million men and women who have served in the U.S. military since the Civil War, only 3,525 have received the Medal of Honor. It is after EVA's briefing to Snake about the truth of The Boss's mission and how she sacrificed her life to stop nuclear war, that you realize that the reason why Big Boss was only awarded the Distinguished Service Cross is because the true recipient of the Medal of Honor should be The Boss herself for her sacrifice. Unfortunately however, The Boss was not awarded the Medal of Honor, not even posthumously, and her sacrifice was instead classified by the US government and she went down in history as a traitor and a war criminal. And in the end, The Boss would not have even cared, and that is was made her a true hero.
Aside from those goofs in the COBRA unit and Col. Volgin being electrical, this Metal Gear game in my opinion was the most realistic looking game in the series.
Dear Diary, Today is June 24th, 2020. Today I completed Snake Eater for the first time. No I do not care that I am more than 17 years behind everyone else.
This was back when we werent force fed a "stronk womun" character, we were given a female character that we respected for who they were and what their story was. I dont think anyone whos played metal gear has anything negative to say about the Boss, she was a true patriot.
I really like the Boss, especially since her strength lies in being able to hold conflicting feelings and actually be complex, and also not constantly broadcasting how she's mistreated. At the same time, I realize that's probably not a good template for behaviour for anyone, male or female. And also, it's like none of the men working on this had the faintest idea how childbirth works...you can't get a scar like hers from a C-section. Weirds me out every time it gets mentioned.
@@Delinae To be fair it was on the battle field with no anesthetics, so I'd imagine they'd be moving around quite a bit during the process...also symbolism
I still remember the first time I finished the game way back in 2004. This ending just broke me and still does now. "Her story, her debriefing will endure only in your heart." One of the most heartbreaking lines in all of video games.
"Ever since the day I killed The Boss... I was already dead". You can see it in his eyes that he wasn't joking. He looks so defeated and bitter, with good reason of course.
The scene is much more powerful when you don't decide to watch Ocelot. Part of what makes the scene so powerful is seeing Snakes reluctance to shake the presidents hand, knowing he now has the Boss' blood on his hands until the day he dies.
"But then something happened that nobody could have predicted" Nobody could have predicted that the crazy splinter group leader would launch a nuke that was gifted to him by the boss?
