What we need is the music from the scene after removing the AI boards. It's so perfect in the moment. Sadly, it isn't on the soundtrack, nor anywhere else. "Why?! I don't understand! Answer me!! BOOOOSS!!!"
8:41 9:48 This was the most powerful part of Snake, his determination above all else. The scream of despire and trying. Slamming that machine wanting answer. But no response.
I say probably the most powerful moment in the series in a way snake was still feeling his phantom pain by the boss being dead and for the fact they are about to be blown to bits him telling her WHY after everything they have been through! Peace Walker to me really was the most powerful of the series just for the fact the world was so close to being blown to bits and seeing the way the characters reacted to the situation of doom seeing norad freak out no other metal gear really has the same feeling of doom in the series yes MGS4 almost got there at its end with the same feeling though I was say that but peace Walker is the winner here on that deep feel doom drama.
You're not just killing her. By removing her memory boards one at a time, you're shutting down all of her memories and functions. You're slowly erasing her humanity to the point of nothingness. The idea of that is far more agonizing, especially when you factor in the reptile pod taking over the husk of a machine.
@@slycat9449 Isn't this scene also a reference to the "HAL 9000 shutdown" sequence from 2001: A Space Odyssey where the protagonist shut down a computer AI by removing its memory boards? Big Boss isn't actually "killing" the Boss AI either here; since nothing is actually damaged, just removed, it could be reassembled, as we saw in MGS5 where the Boss AI was functional again.
@@Mazryonh Nothing is directly damaged, but imagine different parts of your brain shutting down until you're just nothing. This'd be terrifying to witness as your senses and control leave you and the process would damage anything in your body that wasnt made to be shut down.
@@slycat9449 It's terrifying to us because removing parts of the human brain is irrevocable and irreparable, along with the scary prospect of someone drilling into your brain willy-nilly just to damage you until there's nothing left. A computer on the other hand has the luxury of its parts being able to be put back together and made functional again if those parts were removed in a non-destructive (and preferably manufacturer-approved) manner. But the funny thing is, HAL 9000 acted like it couldn't be put back together again when its parts were being removed, and in a way so is the Boss AI in this case.
@@Mazryonh I think that's due to them (or at least the boss) being modeled after a human mind. There's lots of science fiction where human minds are recorded as ai, and that gives them a lot of personality and human reactions to things. They don't realise that this is reversible, or their human reactions are greater than the artificial logic.
he was never bad, it all was a ruse in due to make solid the "hope" for the future. or maybe not, maybe he just wanted to unite the whole world using the force, but he was never evil, no one is evil, everyone has their reasons.
When Big Boss is slamming his fists against the AI asking "Why?", I get the impression he's not only asking "why won't it stop?" but also asking "Why did you betray me?" He's still not over the loss of the Boss. It's a grief that will haunt him for the rest of his life. It's a grief that will drive him to become THE Big Boss of the entire series. The music and Hayter's voice action fit the scene perfectly.
Agree, it's so powerful that even as he had lost alot in his life even the boss. He wants to fight on. Fighting for them screaming for to see the world remain.
@@ryanjackson117 Out of this whole scene, only the boss fight music itself was released. The cutscenes music sadly was not, and it's really good music too.
Ultimately the best mission in Peace Walker. The life of the earth lies on NORAD and Snake, yet one member double-crosses the chairman of NORAD. The part where you remove all memory boards of The Boss was disturbing. She was slowly losing knowledge. She slowly forgets the sentence with all letters of the alphabet (The quick brown fox), forgets what is Pi equal to, speaks random Japanese, and most importantly... she sacrifices herself again. She didn't retaliate... She sang. It's really emotional. And Peace Walker happens to be my very first Metal Gear I played, and this is another time I have genuinely cried over a video game.
At 9:48 why does that hit soooo hard. Honestly i cant tell if its through david hayter and his performance or just big boss grit will and pure determination. For some reason it just hits so hard.
I loved this cutscene. It was intense. Nuclear threat was looming, imagine being inside the command centre, thinking the threat was real and time was running out.
This scene, along with the scene with the boss' horse, are really heartbreaking. Important to show Big Boss moving on, or at least accepting the Boss is gone, and his mission now is to fulfill her dying wish.
i never realized how hard it must have been for big boss to destroy the ai. he had to go through his most messed up trauma while the world was about to be eradicated. that’s pain there.
This along with the next scene is quite possibly the best in video game history.... this machine, this ai, basically walked itself into the ocean and drowned itself to prevent the annialiation of mankind... basically carrying out the bosses will... I legit cried the first time I finished this game...
The Fulton Rescue System exists and has been in use in Reality, absolutely nothing weird about it ;) Ok, maybe it was never used THAT often in just ONE place ^^
It fascinates me as much as it traumatizes me, every time i see someone (or me dooing it) ripping out the memory boards and the ai slowly fading away. Either the fact that that ai must have been built to handle and ignore errors if needed or a straight up militairy build design, to don't bluescreen out, even if severe damages occurr to the memory in battle must have been the reason to work till the end. Seeing beeing reduced, piece by piece, every steppingstone that ai had in her training and growth making a last recall untill it is all gone. To analyze this anny further would be just to gruesome would it ? An experiment that shouldn't be ever made. Neither with man nore with animal. Not that you call me a cold monster about what i wrotevup there, i cried abbout the storry a lot and abbou the choice she made. Also i probably got a bit traumatized abbout the way you had to take her out, ripping out piece by piece of her memory while beeing concious, one of the gruesomest ways to die i could think of. And the terrifying thing is, that im fascinated by it, or rather, by how our memory works
She something about purple in one of the quotes but I can't find it anywhere, only seen it twice in game, 2nd being a second ago lol, it's driving me crazy
Yeah you're absolutely right man. Wow. I'm gonna play this game soon. I'm getting the legacy collection. Can't wait. I'm a bit sad that I've already looked up the playthroughs online but what the fuck. I can't wait forever. I'm weak! :P
Anyone got any context/info on the "Shall we walk through the rainy plain of spain?" line? I'm a big MG fan and know the lore pretty well, so I'm surprised I don't understand what that line is about.
@@nickname8619 The movie based on the play was quite famous, and included the line "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain." as a way of testing Eliza Doolittle's accent. I've never heard the saying in any context other than as a reference to that movie.
I here invite all viewers to guess who is the CIA Chief in MGSPW during MGS3! Search: Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker - Full Story Walkthrough (Extra: Mini Game - Wild Guess)
I’d take the Mammal Pod & have it backed by Raiden’s LQ-84i UG and Start a New Sons of the Patriots network Dedicated to the Patriots who save America from the old one.
She will also say, "Kawanishi-Noseguchi, Kinunobebashi, Takiyama, Uguisunomori, Tsuzumigataki, Tada, Hirano, Ichinotorii, Uneno, Yamashita, Sasabe, Kofudai, Tokiwadai, Myokenguchi" in an extremely sped-up manner. These names, said in the same manner, are the chants that Gray Fox utters when around offscreen in Metal Gear Solid, and are the names of train stations of the Myōken Line, operated by Nose Electric Railway in the Kansai region of Honshū, Japan.
@@eddiexander7970 In MGS2, the AI imitating the Colonel also says this same string in a codec call, when the AI is starting to break down as Raiden enters Arsenal Gear.
