Metal Gear Solid 4 was a Mistake

Tfw you get a lapdance from an operative who immediately dies, you hear over comms "Snake that was Angry Armadillo, she was forced to eat cement as a child"

Raiden: Its like Beauty and the Beast Rose: Don't say that. You're no beast. Raiden: Who said I was the beast?

Can we just take a moment and reflect upon the fact this video is longer than mgs4 if you skip the cutscenes

3:00:13 The game that rebuilt Raiden and made him into an even more beloved character, Metal Gear Rising: Revengence, is now 10 years old. I checked. Yes, I waited 4 years since this vid came out to make this joke. It was worth it.

“We’ve got you surrounded! Come take your nanomachine shots!” “I HATE THE WAR ECONOMY! I HATE THE WAR ECONOMY!”

This video is longer than all MGSV cutscenes combined. And almost as long as 1 MGS4 cutscene.

Steak could have stopped at just making a "MGS 4 - Light Up The Night - AMV" but no, we ended up getting a masterpiece.

"Johnny shidded and farded and camed his way into the story" oh my god I am crying

"Metal Gear Solid 4 was a Mistake" was released 4 years ago. I CHECKED

"Kojima seems like a smart guy" while showing the picture of his "Egg." tweet had me dying. So many brilliant edits and quick cutaways in this. Love this video.

The use of Protomen as a Liquid Ocelot theme here is INCREDIBLE. The Hounds as an introduction was electric.

Snake:"Raiden, you're still young, live a good life" Raiden:"ok" Raiden a few years later: RULES OF NATURE

3hrs+ ??? Man he must really pan this argument out... speaks like its already at 2x speed JESUS CHRIST THIS MAN HAS SOMETHING TO SAY

if they let us save the B&B units, and let snake or rose rehabilitate them that would be interesting. Having them killed off makes them as forgettable as the FROGS.

I come back to this video probably once a year and every time the "I checked" bit hits just as hard as the last time. Thank you.

''Snake...'' ''Raiden!'' ''Europe.'' dies instantly

Johnny never getting any nanomachines and the whole “nanomachines suppressing everyone’s negative emotions that come from combat” means Johnny has just been rawdogging this whole thing emotionally, making him one of the hardest motherfuckers in mgs4

“Then snake falls out Rex and starts screaming and starts yelling because he’s the dumbest man alive.” Is a quote that perfectly captures what makes this video so special somehow being so ernest, funny, bonkers, and beautiful while juggling all of that with some of the most amazing analysis I’ve ever heard. Thank you steak.

1:39:02 THIS SEGMENT. What a masterpiece of a moment and how it perfectly fits the mayhem and absurdity of the whole scene. This song has become one of my all time favorites just by association with this madness ^^
