I'm a mgs novice. I really like the game play and the gameplay aspects but I have to admit I would be playing this game much like how phil is playing it. One of the frustrating aspects of this pretty realistic game style is that you can't take your enemies' gun after they die so you are stuck with whatever gun the game gives you at the time. There really should be a tutorial to this game as the gameplay mechanics are very overwhelming from other run and gun type shooters.
To be honest guys, nobody cares when you beat the game or how much better you are than Phil. Not saying you aren't entitled to say so, but when it's a fair amount of the comments, it's a little cumbersome.
Phil, this game plays better when you start utilizing the nuances to the control scheme. This game was made with a different generation of players in mind. The games and devs expected players to explore and use the game itself to their advantage in order to win.
Holding the player's hand and guiding them through each baby step wasn't part of their job description back then. You have played generations of games older than the Playstation and Genesis era; so it should be natural to accept this.
Well it's not really hard to figure out this boss fight. You have a gun... ehm!
Also, if you have trouble whit a boss fight the game will help you if you use the codec like in MGS1. ore i think so.... never had a problem whit the boss fight's in this game.x)
Classic DSP, when he sucks it's really just the game.xD
Phil coincidentally i'm playing the hd collection version of mgs2, too after having played mgs 4. And i gotta say the controls were really weird to me at first but once you get the hang of em, it's not that bad. And i gotta say the game is pretty fun.
6:36 you're suppose to use the Codec when you need help with the Boss fights like every other MGS game. I really hope Phil gets the hang of things soon. If not, later on the Game is gonna eat him alive and I'm not even gonna get started on MGS 3 lmao
There's usually multiple ways to defeat or weaken (remove certain attacks etc.) bosses in the MG games. If you can't figure out how to do any of that, use your radio and call someone. They'll at least give you a clue how to beat them, if not outright spelling it out for you. In the newer MGs if you call them multiple times you'll get even more "hints".
@XYnocha now in days you can be playing a good game and ppl will say COD is better and then when u think back at cod the only thing good about it is multiplayer and thats it
As a diehard MGS vet, watching this had me punching my monitor in frustration. But you have to look at it from his perspective. MGS2 is 10 years old. The mechanics in this game can be overwhelming for a newcomer. Phil just needs to adjust and get comfortable with the control scheme before this playthrough can really start to take off. I'm only praying he adapts to it prior to the MG Ray Battle Royal.
@Goon36O mgs 3 is gonna take his ass, rape it, and throw him in the dirt Lmao. THAT will be a great pkaythough. I am also a diehard mgs fan and almost tossed my computer out the window.
@Goon36O Agreed , from 90's to 2000 era console gaming isn't that adapted to player about fluent easier controlling yet. think about games on that timeline like old school resident evil , silent hill and adventure game like this don't have today game's layout yet (like MGS4 and uncharted series). It didn't bad for the 2000 but it is not something we can compare to present era too. it is a little annoying by MGS fan like me. but it is acceptable from his perspective. I'm still like this
@Goon36O My god... Those HORRIBLE memories of so.many.fucking Rays, makes me want to no longer watch this play-through due to the fact that I lost this game D:
@lilgangstabball I feel the same way... but even for me, my first time playing this game was difficult because I was learning....but by the time I got half-way into the Plant chapter I was pretty much a pro at it...Phil is just impatient as hell lol
LOL Phil the way you fought the boss in the beginning made me laugh so hard . Thanks for making my day. Some tips along the game.
1. You should aim at there heads with your sleeper gun so they sleep INSTANTLY.
2. Behind them on there belt, you can shoot there radio to destroy it. They can't radio for backup when they see you and it gives u a brief moment to take them out.
3. If you shoot there Right arm and Left Leg with a pistol, its priceless to see how they try to get away.
Everyone go to Google.com and sign the petition on the home page to help fight PIPA and SOPA! This will help Phil continue doing what he does best which is video game commentaries. Go to other videos and post comments like this too help spread the word! Thumbs up so everyone can see!
@KingdomHeartsFan20 true but usually when Phil plays "STEALTH" games of any console its either the controls or a bug, which are never relevant when he doesn't even know how to use the basic controls of the game, seriously

This is an example of a game that Phil shouldn't play.. it's a sneaking game.. and phil just runs around in plain sight shooting at random. What you should do is learn the first person view to shoot when hiding. Olga obviously uses the searchlight to get a good view of Snake and make it difficult to see her. Take out the floodlight and crawl from one side to the other. Olga will be exposing herself if you stand at a good spot. It's quite easy once you know the basic mechanics of the game. GLHF!
This is funny that DSP is making a walkthrough of this game because I just finished watching the whole Metal Gear Series earlier today...well I finished watching Metal Gear Solid 4 today. Had been watching 2,3, and 4 this week.This is series is amazing I knew itwas a great game ever since I played Metal Gear 1 the cinematics are just crazy, this is probably the BEST story in gaming history point blank.I'd put Halo and Max Payne and Final Fantasy up there but Metal Gear definitely takes the cake!
I thought Otacon was all like "You can take down an elephant with that thing!" and yet Snake shoots Olga like 10 times with it before she finally falls asleep.
@OuendanCyrus so... that makes her fatter than an elephant. i thought the saying was the camera ADDS 10 pounds... appearantly that camera takes AWAY 10 TONS
