Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain Trailer Reaction 

"What is happening?" You done got Kojima'd. This trailer actually shows a lot of scenes from the end of the game. Everything actully makes perfect sense as you play the game just like in Death Stranding.

I knew the twist that was coming at the end of the game, but still somehow blew my mind.

The Red Band Demo trailer for this game is still one of my favorite video game trailers of all time

The game is a mind fuck. So many different ideas come together to make a masterpiece in my opinion.

The original reveal trailer for phantom pain was nuts. Metal gear solid games had been a long hiatus and most didnt even realize phantom pain was mgs 5 till the title reveal at the end of the trailer. This e3 trailer was the first time that more of the world and vision was shown the year after. The hype was pretty crazy.

After this, I strongly recommend watching the Red Band trailer for this game; it shows some gameplay, themes and plots. “Lingua Franca” refers to the concept of a language adopted by several different cultures; a contemporary analogue would be American English as it’s a prevalent language for business and somewhat applicable to travel. MGSV, and the MGS series in general, is very much an anti-war, anti-nuclear proliferation and anti-colonial series. Language is used to dominate smaller cultures and over time effectively wipe them out by lingua franca. One example that comes to mind (I can’t source this as this was explained to me by a fellow student at university) is how in English the word “green” describes green, but only one shade, whereas in native languages there are several words for greens of different shades that match their geographical location e.g. the color green of a specific plant when sunlight shines upon it. The games are very much a parody of action games and while you’re provided lethal means to progress, it’s encouraged to play more sneakily and/or non-lethal methods.

Metal Gear is probably the most complex video game story outside of maybe Kingdom Hearts. There are six main games in Metal Gear Solid with two games on the MSX. Phantom Pain refers to a lot of different things in the game since the main character, Venom Snake, does suffer from phantom pain in more ways than one considering he also lost his arm. You don't see it because he has a cybernetic prosthetic that he can upgrade to do insane things. The series started in 1987 and while it's still going on, people consider it dead because its original creator, Hideo Kojima, left Konami due to internal disputes. It follows multiple different characters who all go by the name of Snake - you might remember Snake from Super Smash Bros. Each Snake is related to one another in some way, either through biology or through ideology and they are usually trained by the previous Snake. This is a game where no one is a good guy, not because everyone is a scumbag or wants world domination but because everyone works for the true villains without realizing it. Essentially, the world of Metal Gear Solid is run by the Patriots, a shadowy organization not unlike the Illuminati who manipulate global conflicts. Every time you see a battle between hero and villain in a Metal Gear game, almost always both characters work for the Patriots (unknowingly) and battle each other on behalf of their leaders believing they're doing what's best for the world. This series is extremely strange since it jumps genres all the time and shifts its tone from extremely serious and grounded in reality to campy and satirical. It's famous for its fourth wall breaks that rival Deadpool using his health bar in UMVC3, but people mostly remember it for the deep, philosophical discussions and the hour-long cutscenes. There's so much lore in this game that it may even rival Warhammer, but there is a 40-minute video by the Leaderboard that explains the entire timeline chronologically. It doesn't do the best job of explaining everything since it mostly hits bullet points, but when you have a series as long and as dense as Metal Gear, those bullet points still take almost an hour to get through. Watching that video explains the guy with the Zoro Mask (Skull Face), the guy with one arm (Miller), and the guy with the shrapnel sticking from his head (Venom Snake) as well as all the other characters in the series. However, I will warn you that this game takes some crazy loops. The story begins in the 1960s Cold War and ends in 2020s as you follow Patriots' schemes to maintain their control over the world, each Snake you play working as their top man without realizing it. It's a truly tragic story but there are a lot of emotional highs to balance out the lows, and there is a happy ending to this story.

The metal gear franchise is one I’ll forever replay because the story went on for over 20 years, through technically 7 games 2 nes ones then ps1 and so on.

It’s shrapnel. The elongated one is metaphoric for him becoming like a demon. It doesn’t grow though. It’s just symbolic

Wow perfect timing as I'm going through my first playthrough of the game. The game simply has it all. Want to fight monsters from fantasy? Play this game. Want tactical espionage? Play this game. Want high octane shootouts? Play this game. Want a rocket arm, Balloons, And a extremely cute dog? Play this game.

I’d definitely watch some more MGSV trailers, there are some really good ones, most of them have great music too. Kojima has good taste when it comes to accompanying tracks and they even licensed a bunch of period appropriate songs for the game that you can steal from cassette players in enemy camps. Then you can play them while you’re doing Cold War spy stuff. In this game you have like, a dedicated helicopter that you can upgrade and use for a bunch of different tactics, but one thing you can do with it is put a speaker on it and have it blare any music you’ve got. So it can do bombing runs to “Born in the USA” and “The Final Countdown.” Which is pretty fun.

I like how they looked soo confused and disturbed at the same time

Fun fact: this game references lord of the flies quite a bit. Also, the game is unfortunately not finished, and likely never will be. Despite that fact, i definitely believe the game was goty material, even if it took me months to get interested and invested in it lol. Best $5-$10 (when on sale) I’d ever recommend spending on a game

Yes. Language was the way. If one person was the fundamentally change or control what we used to communicate, then we would only follow not disobey or rebel. But it is not like that because language is not confirmed or set. But what if it was. That's what Phantom Pain is trying to express: The power of Language or communication. It is a very deep argument.

Metal Gear franchise is basically Tom Clancy meets James Bond with a heaping dose of anime thrown in...

MGS is a masterpiece because it was made by Kojima of course

Metal gear solid is the type of game series where it could still be difficult to piece together, even after you've exhaustively dedicated yourself to the series, played everything, and did your best to take in the cutscenes (up to hour long at times too, and they're essential to the plot). The series started all the way back in the days of NES and Famicom, when it was just called Metal Gear. But even then, the events in those first games aren't what happened first in the story.

One of the best game..i was hoping that you'll watch all the trailers :(

The horned shrapnel dude is Big Boss. Dude is legendary

Have a happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for finally reacting to MGSV!

One of my favorite games

As people have commented already, all the MGS games (besides Survive that came after Hideo Kojima was removed from the studio) have underlying themes such as these. The kind of world order concept that the antagonists either upend or embrace, and your place as Big Boss or Snake. I definitely recommend the Red-Band trailer, since it's about 9 minutes long and really gets into some of the themes and characters there-in. MGS5 specifically has a lot of themes that are good for newer players. MGS games in general don't require the past games to be played, especially since they jump around the timeline in each one. MGS5 takes place in the 80s, but MGS3 in the 60s. MGS4 is in 2014, and the spin-off Revengence in 2020. The more you play, the more you understand and the more characters like Ocelot, the revolver-spinning guy in the trailer, fit in to the world. There's so many double-agents and triple-agents and competing interests...that the best places to be are new players and veterans, simple because knowing nothing and knowing everything is so much easier to comprehend what you're given. But yea...give the red-band trailer a peek sometime. It's a bit brutal, but nothing as bad as the Mortal Kombat games. More disturbing than gross, if that makes sense. :)

yooo almost 100k, i hope u hit 100k before new years cheers

I think my favorite game in the whole series was Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots it was emotional for me and I loved every second of that game.

Oh this video is only a month old ❤️ love that you got to see this !!!!! It still gives me chills 🥰

Gameplay-Wise: One of the Best Metal Gears Story-Wise: The other previous Metal Gears are better

"Amazing, Boss! Mission complete! *S*"

I remember this trailer, and remembering how I didn't blink the whole time. Then the realization about who Eli was.

Snake has 2 personalities, snake only realise his mistake when everything is way too late. Venom snake/Demon snake. Demon snake has longhorn

Ah finally!! React to the launch trailer you'll feel the history of the series

you need to watch the rest of the trailers for this game

Too bad the game never got completely finished

They look like a figure skating duo.

The storyline in metal gear solid is ridiculously good and outstanding it speaks on the philosophies of a soldier who’s dream to create a nation independent of others. For people who live on the battlefield The plot twist always confuses you but if you play the game in chronological order it makes perfect sense but there’s a lot to go through the main protagonist. Solid snake and his twin brother Liquid snake. Who are by products of a cloning project from the original naked snake who’s known as big boss. This series is probably the most philosophical game ever created especially for soldiers who can relate to a lot to it excluding the fictional aspects about it

Gods I love MGS. It's a long series but hopefully you get a chance to experience playing them. Or maybe even just watching longplay videos of them.

Moooooooore Metal Gear Solid!

The Phantom Pain was indeed a bittersweet series finale.

Hey you guys took my suggestion 👍

Good luck with the MGS series, it’s the most convoluted crazy mindfuck collection of games ever created!

going in with this without having ANY background in MGS games is hard. Even fans were confused by this game.

No. The main character is Punished Snake or Snake with the eye-patch. The Phantom Pain refers to him and his struggles.

I love these games so much even though Idk wtf is going on throughout the story. The cutscenes & action is always 🔥

oh my god YES FINALLY THANK YOU guys so much!!!!!

This is the best phantom pain trailer ever, it is perfect, the music choice is also amazing, it sets the tone for what to expect in the game perfectly.

The thing about MGS is that you can't really understand a single thing unless you've played the games. And even if you have played them you probably won't understand EVERYTHING until you've played them multiple times AND watched some explanation videos on youtube. So much twists and turns and some bat shit crazy stuff in there.

The dude at the beginning is Punished Snake, previous call name Naked Snake and later he will be known as "Big Boss". In Phantom Pain he's actually the players character. The shrapnel "horn" you can see protruding from his skull is from an accident he was in earlier, but it is also used as a game mechanic. The more "evil" you are, the bigger the "horn" gets. The fewer people you kill, the better decisions you make, the less injured Snake seems on this scene and the fragment doesn't portrude as much = smaller horn. Language is a major part of this game's themes, plot and even game mechanics for plot reasons I shouldn't spoil here why, or how. It seems like an indifferent detail until it becomes relevant. Les Enfants Terrible (The Terrible Children) is a genetic project to create super soldiers. This is the project that created Liquid, Solid and Solidus Snakes (Later became the POTUS and raised Jack "Raiden" The Ripper in the Liberian Civil War as a child soldier) using Big Boss' DNA as BB was seen as the greatest soldier at the time. Is Big Boss/Punished Snake the good guy? That's a difficult question to answer. He's a troubled character that yearns for freedom away from world dominating powers and thus creates a 'Haven' for soldiers that no nation wants, cast outs, mercenaries. He definitively is the antagonist in the first Metal Gear game and multiple games after, but saying he's the bad guy is too simplistic. Similar to Darth Vader. Yes, he's the main antagonist when we first hear and meet him, but that wasn't always the case and even then there are nuances. To avoid spoilers, I included one MASSIVE piece of misinformation regarding Punished Snake's identity.

At the end of 4 no one truly understands what the boss truly wanted. She wanted peace.

Hideo Kojima knows how to make a trailer. You should check out some more

Weird RU-vid unsubscribed me from this channel. Just resubscribed, love your content.

Thats a pure artist making art. CHEERS HIDEO KOJIMA!

It's created by the same person who created Death Stranding, of course together with a huge team.

Absolute masterpiece. I love this game and the story. Truly a beautiful story.

​ @Definitely Not Definitive - Games The Red Band trailer really is a red band one. I remember i was in shock by the end of it. Highly Recommend. One very very very curious thing about this game is that the entire worldwide community HAD to work together to unlock a very specific achievment in the game: -At some point forward in the game you're allowed to have online gameplay with other people, where you sneak into other online player Main Base and steal/sabotage their resources. That said, further on in the game you are able to produce/steal/maintain Nuclear Warheads. The game had a secret, unbelievably near-impossible hidden cutscene that was only going to be shown AFTER ALL THE NUCLEAR WARHEADS FROM ALL THE PLAYERS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD were decomissioned. The challenge was taken by the Playstation 3 Metal Gear Community, that got together and managed to decomission all the Nuclear Warheads from the Playstation 3 Servers. And they did it. Above the War related Story, Metal Gear is essentially a anti-nuclear, anti-war message. The bad side of this Game is that Konami fired the director, Hideo Kojima, and stumbled on the story near the end, when Kojima wasn't there anymore overseeing the project things got sloppy. My favourite Metal Gear Solid game is the Third one, Snake Eater.

The E3 "Red Band" trailer of MGSV is amazing , check it out if you enjoyed this one.

U guys should react to music video made for jedi fallen order called sugann essenan

The biocybernetic technology is incredibly frightening (3:29), you can imagine that the military would fund a technology organization that would work on perfect soldiers in the Universal Soldier style.

Whats happening? Hideo Kojima. You just got Kojima'd.

Warhammer actually touches up on this topic of controlling a population via limitation of language/communication. To sum it up, if you dumb down a population to be unable to communicate and articulate their thoughts and feelings, it makes it damn near impossible to teach and learn anything let alone organize to fight against a tyrannical leadership. In the 40k universe, it’s stipulated that a divide in language via high/low gothic is how governments micromanage colony worlds; one of the many reasons some worlds in the 40k universe is still stuck in medieval times despite there being a literal space station above them. For MGS, their theme is to spread a virus which effectively destroys its host via speaking a language. Take English for example: if you were to say any English word you’d start spreading something like the Black Plague which would effectively render those infected with this language parasite a mute due to fear of spreading a disease.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Generally trailers for Hideo Kojima games are designed to leave you thinking WTF? Happy Thanksgiving!

Metal Gear as a whole is extremely complex in nature

Happy Thanksgiving to you guys! Be Thankful!💯💯

Man I'm glad I never saw this trailer. I feel like it included a scene from almost every cutscene ^^ (Finished playing this game 1 week ago) It was my first metal gear game and I really enjoyed it (Though I had to look up some stuff from the other games). Only thing that threw me off in the beginning is that the main character is voiced by Kiefer Sutherland and like 1 month before starting the game I had finished all 9 season of 24 for the first time. So in the beginning I only heard Jack Bauer.

From the same creator of Silent Hills PT and Death Stranding. Hideo Kojima. Metal Gear Solid is a fantastic series. You should definitely check out the red band trailer as it shows just how gruesome war is. Hideo Kojima has expressed his frustration making a game of war in Japan, since there Cero rating has to have the game be censored a lot. In one particular scene Big Boss has to take out a bomb that's inside a woman. In Japan they don't see the blood and the incision made to the woman it's all let out of frame. While in the US we see the whole process. Hideo has stated that it ruins the immersion and story having to censor or leave out bloody moments of war.

This is wiki's interpretation of Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain: Premise In the aftermath of the events of Ground Zeroes and the destruction of Militaires Sans Frontières (commonly abbreviated as MSF), Big Boss (Kiefer Sutherland/Akio Ōtsuka) falls into a coma.Nine years later, he awakens and helps lead a new mercenary group, Diamond Dogs.[28] Adopting the codename "Venom Snake", he ventures into Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan War and the Angola-Zaire border region during the Angolan Civil War to track down the men responsible for MSF's destruction. Along the way, he becomes reacquainted with his former rival Ocelot (Troy Baker/Satoshi Mikami) and encounters Quiet (Stefanie Joosten), an assassin and sniper with supernatural abilities. While he and Kazuhira Miller (Robin Atkin Downes/Tomokazu Sugita) are initially driven to exact revenge, Snake soon unearths a plot by the Patriots organization to develop a new model of the Metal Gear system known as the ST-84 "Sahelanthropus".

ayy its my suggestion :)

I’ve played through the whole campaign and listened to most of the important audio logs (including the one about a guy learning to make Hamburgers) I am still confused by many things. Understandable since it’s Kojima

Happy thanksgiving 🍽🦃🍁 to everyone in this community

HAVE A GOOD THANKSGIVING YOU BADASSES

Fucking hell lady... the way that you got to the main themes of the piece without knowing anything about it was astounding!

Also I forgot to mention slenderman has endless speed

It's a very cool game. I definitively recommend you play it when you get the chance. Have a good day guys and take care👍

The Red Band trailer is a must!

Metal Gear is always a trip. Kojima's plot lines are always outright insane, convoluted, yet gripping. Was one of my favorite series of all time, but it's dead now. Konami in it's greed chased Kojima out of the company and have destroyed the series sadly.

If you guys ever play it, I would warn you, the whole thing is not just mind boggling, but also really tragic. A lot of betrayal, sadness, and plot twists.

Yall should react to the other trailers. Kojima's editing work is so amazing. Even if you know nothing about a game, it forces your interest.

Anything Kojima makes will always be a trip

Oh metal gear, such a good series. Playwise the franchise goes MGS3, peacewalker, 5 ground zeroes and phantom pain, metal gear, metal gear 2, Metal gear solid 1, metal gear solid 2, MGS4 and Revengeance. By the way that is a piece of shrapnel in Snake’s head, it can cause problems in gameplay when an explosion happens close to you. It’s just shallow enough to not cause serious damage but to deep to remove without pretty much killing him

The Metal Gear Solid Series is just awesome. The rich Lore can confusing. This trailer is the best for 5 in my opinion.

Me who played most of the franchise and had read the entire lore twice : Don't worry I'm confused as well 🤣

I know that you've probably been notified by now, and that this vid is a year old, but a lot of the soldiers shown in the trailer he's tossing around, and the angry crowd, are all HIS soldiers. There's a lot of internal strife in your own organization, and even that beginning scene, where he's walking with all the dead bodies, is HIS base and those are his men. But he killed them because of an infection that absolutely cannot be cured.

Basically the Story spoiler free is Snake the main character with the eye patch is Dealing with Phantoms from his past from older metal Gear games I'm trying to keep it spoiler free Playing Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater before this has a part to this game it would make more sense story wise

I’ve played the game, and from watching that trailer I can tell you I have no idea what the game is about from it XD

I had no idea what was going on, but I had a bunch of fun with MGSV.

metal gear is one of those game series where you don't really want to play it out of order the problem is figuring out what the order is chronological or by release (personally i recommend by release)

Kojima and DICE have some of the best trailers out there. If you haven’t already, I recommend checking out the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Rise of Skywalker trailer, it’s super good.

The story is crazy and awesome you also get a dog as companion but the zorro guy he is called skull face he has his own military unit

Better if u guys play the game, storyline it's awesome and awesome gameplay, well i already beat the game 4 times to 100% :) I really recommended to play to understand what is the trailer

I would also strongly recommend the 2014 E3 trailer.

Metal Gear is a series that is a mistake to jump into a later entry, but it's not completely out of the question. The gameplay is stellar and (in most of the games) there's a singular theme that can carry the plot even if there's a lot of call-back to events from previous titles. From MGS1 to 5, "Gene, Meme, Scene, Sense, Peace, and Race." Hideo Kojima's writing is often criticized for driving his point home to an absurd degree, but there's something loveable about how enthusiastic he is about it. Metal Gear is a series worth playing through. There's no other games like it.

The music is absolutely terrifying and sinister (New Order - Elegia)

I love metal gear I must have all the games Ken and Bethany you have awesome positive energy keep up the great work 👍

1:18 .. him: “this guys seems some sh*t” Me: lol Buddy you have no idea

What a game. Finished it a few weeks ago.

Happy Thanksgiving!! 😄🦃

You should react to the various Metal Gear Solid V trailers, maybe the few MGS4 trailers too!

I love the MGS series. Hideo Kojima is a genius. It is one of best stories I've seen so far and it help me grow a lot as a person. Both of you should give it a try and if not at least react to some video/s of all the story. You won't be disappointed either way

Metal Gear Solid is one of the best game produce and direct by non other, the legendary Hideo Kojima. The story is awesome, non of the Hollywood movies franchise can be on par with MGS stories (in my opinion)

Also my favourite creepypastas/urban legends are Clockwork/Natalie Owlette, Eyeless Jack and Slenderman

I made a short playlist of some of my favorite video game trailers that I think could be shown in theatres and would look great, if you are interested here’s a link! ru-vid.com/group/PLmm0X6btewsG3PjKCCkibREavBef4k5vC
