The thing I find most disturbing, is that Raiden stopped responding to him. He just.... listened. Not even questioning it, just not saying a damn thing.
***** He's honestly been a favorite of mine through the entirety of his games, I think people are too hard on him. Can't they see he's been through enough? **points back at the video** Case in point.
Xadaj127 Exactly! I remember there was a time when it was almost impossible to find another person who remotely liked Raiden before he became a cyborg (at least in the YT comment section)..cuz *insert 50 generic Raiden-hating reasons*. Anyway, not gonna dive into that. Glad to see another fan though xD
powerpsi / After playing many Metal Gear games, you learn to listen to the characters and do what they say. In MGS1, PsychoMantys tells you he can move your controller with his mind. And he did
Raiden's being rude as hell, the Colonel trying to open up and talk about some personal shit and he's just getting iced out completely. You deserve better Colonel.
When he said to turn off the game, I told myself, "What the hell?" What really got me was when he turned into the skeleton for the first time and said: "Snake, you're all alone and surrounded by bad guys."
G.R. Fox Yeah, was actually a reference to the original Metal Gear. You're told when near the end of the game: "Turn off the M.S.X. now! The mission is a failure! Please turn off your M.S.X. computer right now!" Sadly, US/Canada really didn't have the MSX compatible computers like other regions did. It is an unlockable in MGS3 at least.
When he said to turn off the i was really about to, then Rose came in and said to get away from the TV because ITA bad for your eyes, and at that time, i was really close to the Television. Needless to say, i nearly shit myself.
this is so effectively creepy, it shows kojimas skill as a writer. the entire game leading up to this reinforces the routine of the codec calls. the codec calls are integral to making MGS a videogame. they're kojima's way of telling you how to progress through the game and guiding you. without the codec calls you are completely alone in the game, without guidance. as soon as raiden says "i've never seen you in person", you realize that the only person on your side in the entire game is somehow not what he appears. but you have no idea where this is going. campbell's voice starts to be frequency shifted and distorted away from a human-sounding voice and he starts speaking nonsense, and this further reinforces that campbell isn't real, but you haven't put this together yet, you're just getting more and more creeped out. when he mentions rose and another guy you realize campbell has turned against you and is somehow trying to manipulate you. the silences in between the codec messages start becoming unnaturally long. and then "snake, you're all alone and surrounded by bad guys."
+999a0s hehehe if you play some of the more recent metal gears like peace walker or MGSV ya find out that in MGS 2 the only human you talked to on the codec was snake and i think medic everyone els was just an AI program built by the patriots
+999a0s When I played MGS2, I got to this section very very late at night. It was 2 am, I was all alone in a dark room and even though I was 17, it creeped me out so much I had to just turn the game off and finish it later.
the *idea of having codec calls as a medium to communicate game design intent to the player* is kojima's, even if the codec calls themselves were written by fukushima.
De Gaulle never even said that, although that's not really a hint or anything, just a popular misquote. Also, it's one of Mei Ling's quotes from the previous game.

And I cannot get enough of The Colonel's voice here
***** When I got hte sword, I tried it out a bit, and then after I thought I'd done everything, I tried to move past snake to continue the mission. He kicked me, so I thought I was supposed to kill him. I did this 8 times before I figured out what I was supposed to do.

Bandicootfan63 I know right? I notice he did that, when i was playing Metal Gear on Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on Xbox 360. And man, that game was a ordeal, but i finished it. And now, i really want to finish Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake, even though that game is kicking my fucking ass very much.
"How should I put it, it was like they were... intimate. I'm sorry. Sorry to bring this up during the mission, but " Snake wasn't part of the simulation, but drama with your girlfriend was, 100%.
I agree... this part of the game terrified me for some reason, especially when he told me to turn the game off, and Rose said I was too close to the TV. Very creepy but the most memorable part of any game imo.
Out of all the horror games i've played. This. This right here was the most frightened and creeped out i've ever been in all of gaming. This was just so... wrong to me. The fourth wall was shattered over and over, the game demanded I turned it off. So many creepy and errie things were being said. I couldn't understand what was happening. Even knowing the truth after all these years hearing it all is just.. slightly unerving to this day.
i played it last year,i was playing for 6 hours i think and it was 3 am,when he said to turn off the game i was so scared that i did it, i cant sleep that day lol
***** MGS4 was definitely the weakest game, but it wasn't boring.. It was just flawed.. Say what you want about the story but the gameplay was awesome... And Big Boss in the end... Truly a touching moment..
***** How do you know it wasn't just supposed to imply it was Solid vs. Ocelot? They had also fought in the past ya know.. Just cuz Snake Eater plays doesn't mean Solid is supposed to be resembling Big Boss..
It's because nobody who plays these games want's to listen to the codec conversations. Which is pretty sad because this game was fucking years ahead of its time.
Elissa Whichi I know because most gamers I know have the mindset I had when I was twelve (with playing games in general). And I hated Codec calls when I was twelve.
"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unkown." - Lovecraft, 1927. Kojima remains a master storyteller.
After Raiden goes naked, everything goes mindfuck like heck. The name of Arsenal's area changed into random japan names, Colonel got corrupted, then start spawning all the twisted disturbing random things. While creepy and demented having such situation, I also laugh a lot by most of his crazy nonsense. One of the best is the easter eggs, simulation about UFO, talking about wolf and meryl, past life of a webworm, babbling about random alien purple pitchfork, and of course the BEEP!! Really got me laughing for real for some minutes, keep calling him on codex again and again.

Oh man, I'm glad I'm not the only one that saw that. It doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on the MGS wiki. For a while I thought it was a live feed of Rose being held hostage.
I could handle the garbled voice, and the music was creepy but I managed to deal with it to some degree, but when I saw that skull face I freaked the fuck out!
XXsirstrawhatXX When I was so young, I were really into it for real. I thought I was trolled by La Li Lu Le Lo via my PS2, and almost turned it off But, something in my head told me to wait, and reallized everything just a game like usual
Everyone's talking about Campbell telling Raiden to turn off the gaming console while I'm siting here wondering, "What was the colonel eating when Raiden called him?"
I remember playing this part of the game at 3 or 4 in the morning, I was so tired but needed to play the game more because I was addicated. It was super quiet and creepy in my house to begin and I was trying to stay awake. Than this scene popped up and I thought I was losing my mind. My jaw dropped and Im like did really just hear that. My heart was beating fast and I was like why would a game say that I must be going crazy. I turned it off and played again in the morning and found out it was part of the game.
When Campbell tells to shutdown the console, I thought like, my parents hacked into the system. I was just a little kid who thought parents could do anything
I think what helps this part is that all the shit started at about the same time. Raiden was forced to sneak through naked, he and Rosemary had relationship drama, his backstory came to light, you couldn't call anyone, and of course the False Colonel began falling apart.
01:27 I always assumed that was a UFO story but what if its what actually happened to the 'real' Colonel, the Patriots abducted him and made an AI version and replaced him at some point
In guns of the patriots you can find a circular crop of grass that’s been perfectly cut in around the 3/4 point in act 2, and the monologue plays and you get a trophy suggesting it was a UFO.
@@peepeepoopoovdbhxvbcc6683 I always think of that when I hear the story, because I didn't remember it from this game but MGS4. I didn't even realize "Campbell" was the one saying it.
In mgs4 they give you a nostalgia bomb when you are tracking as snake. There is a quote and a shape in the grass that looks like its celestial. it was probably a ufo.
To play this mission, there are things that are required -Play in the dark at night -5 or more extra large diapers -New pair of pants, ready to be worn -Max Volume
Fun fact that alot of people dont probably realise or probably wouldnt even understand. at 3:15 when campbell starts talking about fortress galuade this in reference to metal gear ghost babel, a mgs game for the game boy colour that came out a year before mgs2 and was actually supposed to be an 'alternate sequel' to mgs1. Its very interesting that Kojima made such a nod to it as funnily enough Ghost babel actually teased Raidens existence with a piece of secret dialogue for completing all its VR training missions. Mentioning another VR solider who had been playing as through the events of galuade again called "jack". This was probably the only reference to raiden existing in the run up to MGS2s release might also hint, alongside the colonel AI's meltdown here that Galuade at least happened as a VR training scenario. Perhaps the Galuade mission did occur, but the possible outcome of Black Chamber rebelling never happened and as such that scenario just ended up as a shelved VR mission that they had raiden do alongside everything else he 'played' through. Pretty cool over all. Ghost babel was actually a really good game in terms of story, specially for a gameboy title.
When I played this when I was 11, this part + the eerie music in the background scared tf outta me. I didn’t turn the console off but holy hell I was creeped tf out lol
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork- does a raw blink on Hara-kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61! I remember almost dying from laughter when I heard him say that the first time.
Colonel: “You got a PSG-1? You can use that against Sniper Wolf. Hurry up and save Meryl!” Me: “Meryl was never factored into the simulation, leave her out of this!”
Holy shit, at 2:50 i rushed for my TV to fucking disable it. Holy shit. It WAS SO GOD DAMN SCARY! Its like you know you are not playing horror game, but suddenly there is some shit like that. I was thinking all this time that the screamer is about to be all over the TV, haha
This was pretty creepy; though the rose AI's occasional white blank eyes creeped me out even more- and her dialogue during the final battle wasn't much better either. I love how completely out of left field this was though, and some of the comments were completely hilarious - "I'LL DO THE FIGHTING, YOU CAN JUST GO HOME!" but yes, the majority of this was masterfully creepy and well executed. Wish it would have continued for longer though, they were really onto something here, but I guess the same could be said for the entirety of the Arsenal Gear section.
I was way too frozen on my couch seat to even pick up the remote a few feet away from me and turn off the TV. It was so late at night and I was surrounded by the darkness coming from the kitchen and dinner table and the front door, just the lounge room in the spotlight. I feared that something might come out of that darkness and take me away when I get up to rush at the remote so I kept playing just bracing myself for screamers.
This scared the shit out of me at the time. Between these weird lines and campbell calling and telling me how long I've been playing, and that I should take a break... legit one of the coolest moments in gaming.
I love how Raiden just stops reacting during this segment of the game, as if he's already figured out what's happening. This part still gives me the spooks, music doesn't help, somehow I'm always at this part of the game at 2AM.
0:52 When the realization hits hard when your talking with online friends for years only to remember you barely know anything from them. This hits hard, and in game you're basically accustomed to the codec calls being your nearest friendly human communication.
I wonder how many people I could fuck with if I started quoting this on facebook. Of course, I would have to hide/delete the post after a few seconds to truly fuck with people.

“Noughts has all’s spent where our desire is got without content” “Basically it means that your desire can get you into trouble if you’re not careful” No no he’s got a point
This was genuinely unsettling the first time I played it. I had no idea what was going on and I seriously considered restarting my game because I thought something was wrong with it lol.
This game man. It was just... different back then. This game was an entire world for me when I was a kid. Im 30 now, im so glad there are many of us who can share our unique experiences with this masterpiece.
this is pretty much the only game that is actually scary, all these jump scare monster horror games really dont do shit the breaking, no, complete shattering of the 4th wall was downright nightmare fuel, coupled with the fact that at this point in the game, most people were at this point when it was dark outside, and most people were relatively young, and the fact nothing like this has been done before or since. you feel helpless, you really dont know what the FUCK is happening, you have no weapons, no way to defend yourself, you're up against an entire hangar of elite genetically enhanced soldier who can kill you quicker than you can blink, and the one thing you thought you could turn to for answers, your codec, has gone absolutely haywire in the creepiest way possible. not going to lie, first time i played this when i was like 12 i actually restarted the game from scratch once i got locked in the tunnel and the video of the model appeared in the corner where the radar usually is, i legitimately thought i had shitfucked the game somehow. even to this day a moment like this hasnt been matched. and probably wont be for a very long time.
qwackduck essentially your tv screen, when the game speaks directly to you (the colonel) or the game acknowledging that its a game (arsenal gear onwards). pretty much interacting or referring to anything on the other side of the screen ('4th wall')
This is exactly how i felt it.I wa slike'Okay..my aunt and my sister always tell me im sitting too close to the TV and playing too many videogames..Now this is doing the same..hella creepy...' This still makes me nervous to this day.They really did this the right way..And like you said,the Codec is your info-bar.And Its gone completlay off the rails and acts like its gone to a bar.
You nailed it with your description. I also started the game from scratch thinking I had broken the game. Among the most terrifying moments I've experienced in video games, or even life in general
I feel like its more cool/interesting than scary, maybe if you play it when you're young its creepy or scary but yeah. I guess these days meta horror in games is more common.

"How should I put it, it was like they were... intimate. I'm sorry. Sorry to bring this up during the mission, but "
Snake wasn't part of the simulation, but drama with your girlfriend was, 100%.
Koijma was foreshadowing MGS4
Geez, I hope GW wasn't spying on Raiden and Rose while they... you know
you LEGIT couldnt even get your rocks off in the MGS universe without Nanomachines or someone spying on you 😆
Snake wasnt a part, But (((they))) factored it gazilion situations with you in it
Breaking the 4th wall in the most amazing way possible.
"Why not? This is a type of role playing game."

Yeah more likely he'll be in dangling mode
Why not?
Oh do we really have to spell it out for you Jack?
Kojima making references to Raiden entering Blade Mode, decades before Platinum even came up with the idea holy shit!
[insert joke about Skull Face happening long before MGSV]
+mehpersonguy0 Maybe Skullface was related to the coronel? *Gasp*
Don't worry, it's a skull, it's a skull just like usual.

do you need sciossors 61?
I could listen to this the whole day, the Colonel's voice along with static and the background track makes this so eerie and awesome. Goosebumps!
I agree... this part of the game terrified me for some reason, especially when he told me to turn the game off, and Rose said I was too close to the TV. Very creepy but the most memorable part of any game imo.
The track is called "Arsenal's Guts". Enjoy!
"you'll ruin your eyes playing so close to the tv" Lol
+Bernardo S Breaking 4th wall. :O
Out of all the horror games i've played. This. This right here was the most frightened and creeped out i've ever been in all of gaming. This was just so... wrong to me. The fourth wall was shattered over and over, the game demanded I turned it off. So many creepy and errie things were being said. I couldn't understand what was happening. Even knowing the truth after all these years hearing it all is just.. slightly unerving to this day.
It still scares me...help.
i played it last year,i was playing for 6 hours i think and it was 3 am,when he said to turn off the game i was so scared that i did it, i cant sleep that day lol
You're lying
@@alltheprettyflowers facts, bunch of fourth graders in the comments coming off playing fnaf and slender
What's the truth behind this?
4:59 is aggressively terrifying. Do NOT give that man scissors.
I turned off my game when this happened,I was seriously spooked when this happened to me as a kid.
Same shit here. I thought he was talking to me and only me. Then I realize it was a game and continued playing. #memories #thoughtiwastheonlyone
Remember when you helped Emma emmerich upload that virus well the colonel is actually an A.I called GW
+Detox 2k lol that's cute
More specifically a mental construct formed by Raiden with GW manipulating the nanomachines in his brain.
Same. It was about 2am and I was up alone in the dark and had been playing a long time. It was very creepy.
i like how after colonel tells the story of the UFO raiden just goes, "Huh?" as if his world is collapsing around him
It was at the time.
bro he is literally talking about sun glowing up in the east
Fine, forget it!
I liked how they programmed GW for a scenario where he would be caught eating and tell Raiden to call him back.
"Huh?"
This captures the reaction of the player so well.
Lmao
The concept of MGS2 is genius. Pure genius... Kojima has done so much in the world of video games... Awesome..
***** MGS4 was definitely the weakest game, but it wasn't boring.. It was just flawed.. Say what you want about the story but the gameplay was awesome... And Big Boss in the end... Truly a touching moment..
***** Snake/ Big Boss vs. Liquid/Ocelot? The fuck are you talking about?
***** How do you know it wasn't just supposed to imply it was Solid vs. Ocelot? They had also fought in the past ya know.. Just cuz Snake Eater plays doesn't mean Solid is supposed to be resembling Big Boss..
Good old MGS2, a good game with a misunderstood plot.... I liked it so much!
It's because nobody who plays these games want's to listen to the codec conversations. Which is pretty sad because this game was fucking years ahead of its time.
Elissa Whichi Hell, people still don't and won't a decade from now.
Terminal Creature Yeah. Really sad but most likely accurate.
Elissa Whichi I know because most gamers I know have the mindset I had when I was twelve (with playing games in general). And I hated Codec calls when I was twelve.
Munk451 I understood the plot, but the meaning of it was kind of lost on me because I never played MGS1 :(
The story of him getting abducted by an orange light still creeps me out lol
That may have been the sun
@@Thomaas551 does the sun move erratically where you are?
@@DolanDuking no
A trick by Psycho Mantis.
The Colonel is the same voice as the grandpa from Ben 10 !!!
I know right
Perhaps because they are both voiced by Paul Eiding?
They have the same voice actor.
That's what I realized when I first heard his voice
O_O How did I not notice that
"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unkown." - Lovecraft, 1927.

After Raiden goes naked, everything goes mindfuck like heck. The name of Arsenal's area changed into random japan names, Colonel got corrupted, then start spawning all the twisted disturbing random things. While creepy and demented having such situation, I also laugh a lot by most of his crazy nonsense.
One of the best is the easter eggs, simulation about UFO, talking about wolf and meryl, past life of a webworm, babbling about random alien purple pitchfork, and of course the BEEP!!
Really got me laughing for real for some minutes, keep calling him on codex again and again.
The colonel's funny speech was probably the only thing that keeped me from going insane during this otherwise very creepy segment o.O
I thought, WTF, when names of rooms in Arsenal Gear were changed to names of digestive system organs.
TaoOfTheMachine or that I suddenly found myself in some weird place in Japan
"Training will be postponed if we are invaded by UFOs."
Uh, I think you're going to have some bigger issues than that...

No, the weirdest thing that happened to me was when the map turned into a picture of a women on a chair
I started laughing my ass off during that part
@@tulio.guitar People suspect it was some of the junk crap information that GW is collecting got mixed into Raidens radar.
One of the staff's wives.
Oh man, I'm glad I'm not the only one that saw that. It doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on the MGS wiki. For a while I thought it was a live feed of Rose being held hostage.
@@evandavis7 I didn't think that but I thought it was going to be some fucked up jump scare when it went close on her face.
I could handle the garbled voice, and the music was creepy but I managed to deal with it to some degree, but when I saw that skull face I freaked the fuck out!
XXsirstrawhatXX When I was so young, I were really into it for real.
I thought I was trolled by La Li Lu Le Lo via my PS2, and almost turned it off
But, something in my head told me to wait, and reallized everything just a game like usual
Everyone's talking about Campbell telling Raiden to turn off the gaming console while I'm siting here wondering, "What was the colonel eating when Raiden called him?"
CriticalErr0r So much bills the Colonel had to pay... especially that divorce settlement.
The inviso-sandwich
@CriticalErr0r well he never meet him , so he never pay for him too.
@@dr.shadox4927 It's also not a real person, so he's not actually eating.
Who needs creepypastas when you have the real world.
I wonder if I'd ever get Alzheimer's disease in distant future and start randomly spouting these to the nurses. 61!
I remember playing this part of the game at 3 or 4 in the morning, I was so tired but needed to play the game more because I was addicated. It was super quiet and creepy in my house to begin and I was trying to stay awake. Than this scene popped up and I thought I was losing my mind. My jaw dropped and Im like did really just hear that. My heart was beating fast and I was like why would a game say that I must be going crazy. I turned it off and played again in the morning and found out it was part of the game.
+Dat Sik having that moment now..
When Campbell tells to shutdown the console, I thought like, my parents hacked into the system. I was just a little kid who thought parents could do anything
I think what helps this part is that all the shit started at about the same time. Raiden was forced to sneak through naked, he and Rosemary had relationship drama, his backstory came to light, you couldn't call anyone, and of course the False Colonel began falling apart.
Oh, hey. Your girlfriend is cheating on you. K thanks bye.
You noob
I didn't want to bring it up during the mission, but..... yeah.
01:27 I always assumed that was a UFO story but what if its what actually happened to the 'real' Colonel, the Patriots abducted him and made an AI version and replaced him at some point
In guns of the patriots you can find a circular crop of grass that’s been perfectly cut in around the 3/4 point in act 2, and the monologue plays and you get a trophy suggesting it was a UFO.
@@peepeepoopoovdbhxvbcc6683 I always think of that when I hear the story, because I didn't remember it from this game but MGS4. I didn't even realize "Campbell" was the one saying it.
wasnt he just trying to say he looked at the sun and ended up at his home
7:49
Snake: Colonel! Snap out of it! Colonel! COLONEEEEEEEEEL!!
1:31 - Uh... you saw a sunrise?
No it was Vilgax's ship! Run!
In mgs4 they give you a nostalgia bomb when you are tracking as snake. There is a quote and a shape in the grass that looks like its celestial. it was probably a ufo.
Or Vilgax....
a sunrise moving irregularly? Thats not normal haha
I was thinking about nuclear bomb. Dunno why.
To play this mission, there are things that are required
-Play in the dark at night
-5 or more extra large diapers
-New pair of pants, ready to be worn
-Max Volume
Fun fact that alot of people dont probably realise or probably wouldnt even understand. at 3:15 when campbell starts talking about fortress galuade this in reference to metal gear ghost babel, a mgs game for the game boy colour that came out a year before mgs2 and was actually supposed to be an 'alternate sequel' to mgs1. Its very interesting that Kojima made such a nod to it as funnily enough Ghost babel actually teased Raidens existence with a piece of secret dialogue for completing all its VR training missions. Mentioning another VR solider who had been playing as through the events of galuade again called "jack". This was probably the only reference to raiden existing in the run up to MGS2s release might also hint, alongside the colonel AI's meltdown here that Galuade at least happened as a VR training scenario. Perhaps the Galuade mission did occur, but the possible outcome of Black Chamber rebelling never happened and as such that scenario just ended up as a shelved VR mission that they had raiden do alongside everything else he 'played' through. Pretty cool over all. Ghost babel was actually a really good game in terms of story, specially for a gameboy title.
You mean Ghost Babel was all a simulation too??
5:12 my parents when first time using video call
There is a fork in the conveyor belt?
the zoom i think lol
Raymond Son, there's a fork in the conveyer belt!
@@Mariomogule XD
Funny I thought the same thing about 5:20
Man, that purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space doing a raw blink on Harakiri Rock really brought a tear to my eye.
Mad Beast Ah, my mistake. The tuning fork is one of the more important parts of it, I must admit.
Watching this at night scares the shit out of you
That nigga also tells you to turn off the game
That creeped me out as a kid and I got really scared that my game was possessed or some shit xD lmao
it made me shit bricks real good
I literally turned the game off.
When I played this when I was 11, this part + the eerie music in the background scared tf outta me. I didn’t turn the console off but holy hell I was creeped tf out lol
Same here.
*Colonel Campbell intensifies*
The first time i got to the crazy Campbell sequences, i was stoned out of my mind playing it. This stuff absolutely freaked me out. Brilliant.
I hear it's amazing when the famous purple stuffed worm in flap-jaw space with the tuning fork- does a raw blink on Hara-kiri Rock. I need scissors! 61! I remember almost dying from laughter when I heard him say that the first time.
Colonel: “You got a PSG-1? You can use that against Sniper Wolf. Hurry up and save Meryl!”
Me: “Meryl was never factored into the simulation, leave her out of this!”
Imagine being a little kid in 2001 and playing this late at night. I wouldve been scared shitless.
Of all the years I have been obsessed with MGS2, I have never seen most of these, so thanks...12 years later. LOL
Holy shit, at 2:50 i rushed for my TV to fucking disable it. Holy shit. It WAS SO GOD DAMN SCARY! Its like you know you are not playing horror game, but suddenly there is some shit like that. I was thinking all this time that the screamer is about to be all over the TV, haha
That face on Campbell HORRIFIED me.
***** YES! THE FACE!
This was pretty creepy; though the rose AI's occasional white blank eyes creeped me out even more- and her dialogue during the final battle wasn't much better either.
I love how completely out of left field this was though, and some of the comments were completely hilarious - "I'LL DO THE FIGHTING, YOU CAN JUST GO HOME!" but yes, the majority of this was masterfully creepy and well executed. Wish it would have continued for longer though, they were really onto something here, but I guess the same could be said for the entirety of the Arsenal Gear section.
***** *Kojima laughs*
I was way too frozen on my couch seat to even pick up the remote a few feet away from me and turn off the TV. It was so late at night and I was surrounded by the darkness coming from the kitchen and dinner table and the front door, just the lounge room in the spotlight. I feared that something might come out of that darkness and take me away when I get up to rush at the remote so I kept playing just bracing myself for screamers.
7:35 When this happened, I started laughing like I lost my mind
With this music...
😅
This scared the shit out of me at the time. Between these weird lines and campbell calling and telling me how long I've been playing, and that I should take a break... legit one of the coolest moments in gaming.
I love how Raiden just stops reacting during this segment of the game, as if he's already figured out what's happening. This part still gives me the spooks, music doesn't help, somehow I'm always at this part of the game at 2AM.
Either that or he's so confused and silently freaking out he just doesn't know what to say.
0:52
When the realization hits hard when your talking with online friends for years only to remember you barely know anything from them.
This hits hard, and in game you're basically accustomed to the codec calls being your nearest friendly human communication.
I like how Raiden just doesn’t react he just listens to the Colonel’s crazy random talks
I wonder how many people I could fuck with if I started quoting this on facebook.
Of course, I would have to hide/delete the post after a few seconds to truly fuck with people.
Spontaneously change your profile picture to an image of your face with a skull grafted onto it for a few minutes. Change it back before anyone really sees
"Snake... Remember what de gaule said......." That long pause used to creep me out 2:27
Then there's the veiled threat at the end.
This freaking terrified me I had to stop playing I thought my game was glitching or something.
same here :D
I thought I really had played the game too long.
Paul Eiding's performance was perfect in this game.
This is more relevant now than ever.
7:35 this was my shit as a kid, along with the BEEP and you know, "I need scissors! 61!"
Colonel running on chatGPT
The eerie music in the background definitely worked well with this.
It creeped me out.
“Noughts has all’s spent where our desire is got without content”
“Basically it means that your desire can get you into trouble if you’re not careful”
No no he’s got a point
6:32. I didn't realize before but this the really quick glitch is Campbell from the mgs Gameboy color game
Ghost Babel is now canon.
7:55
That should be the real colonel's message after the beep thing.
la-li-lu-le-lo
La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo!
*_LA-LI-LU-LE-LO!!!_*
I can see the scout in your icon saying I that way.
As self-indulgent and pretentious as Kojima often is, this really got under my skin.
"You got a PSG-1? You can use that against Sniper Wolf."
But Colonel, she's like my favorite CZcamsr bro...
As a kid I was FREAKED OUT by this. Literally couldn't play the game for a week.
4:18, okay some of this was creepy but that was just hilarious
This was genuinely unsettling the first time I played it. I had no idea what was going on and I seriously considered restarting my game because I thought something was wrong with it lol.
so i was finishing mgs2 hd yesterday
after colonel said "turn off the game console" my game actually crashed
BEEP
"The fission is a mailure. Power the cut right now!"
This game man. It was just... different back then. This game was an entire world for me when I was a kid. Im 30 now, im so glad there are many of us who can share our unique experiences with this masterpiece.
this is pretty much the only game that is actually scary, all these jump scare monster horror games really dont do shit
the breaking, no, complete shattering of the 4th wall was downright nightmare fuel, coupled with the fact that at this point in the game, most people were at this point when it was dark outside, and most people were relatively young, and the fact nothing like this has been done before or since.
you feel helpless, you really dont know what the FUCK is happening, you have no weapons, no way to defend yourself, you're up against an entire hangar of elite genetically enhanced soldier who can kill you quicker than you can blink, and the one thing you thought you could turn to for answers, your codec, has gone absolutely haywire in the creepiest way possible.
not going to lie, first time i played this when i was like 12 i actually restarted the game from scratch once i got locked in the tunnel and the video of the model appeared in the corner where the radar usually is, i legitimately thought i had shitfucked the game somehow.
even to this day a moment like this hasnt been matched.
and probably wont be for a very long time.
qwackduck
essentially your tv screen, when the game speaks directly to you (the colonel) or the game acknowledging that its a game (arsenal gear onwards). pretty much interacting or referring to anything on the other side of the screen ('4th wall')
This is exactly how i felt it.I wa slike'Okay..my aunt and my sister always tell me im sitting too close to the TV and playing too many videogames..Now this is doing the same..hella creepy...'
This still makes me nervous to this day.They really did this the right way..And like you said,the Codec is your info-bar.And Its gone completlay off the rails and acts like its gone to a bar.
You nailed it with your description. I also started the game from scratch thinking I had broken the game. Among the most terrifying moments I've experienced in video games, or even life in general
I feel like its more cool/interesting than scary, maybe if you play it when you're young its creepy or scary but yeah. I guess these days meta horror in games is more common.
