  • After playing MGS3, 4 and MGS2 I wanted to play this series from the first Metal Gear game. Actually I want to start if from Policenauts and snatcher. What annoys me slightly is that there are over 20 games, I would have to buy a gamecube, ps3, psp, game boy, etc... I wish Kojima would release an ultimate package where every game is on one system. Regardless, I'm still getting the systems and starting from the beginning.

  • how can some NOT like it?????

  • Nicola and Bart were pretty cool guys

    Rest forever here in our hearts!

  • @Lodrin That they were

  • This certainly is an sort of end of some kind...

  • R.I.P The Boss

    R.I.P Big Boss

    R.I.P Solid Snake

    R.I.P Ocelot

    R.I.P GrayFox

    Thanks kojima to show me what "hero" really mean...

    Here's to you old legends.

  • @ndemaking53 couldnt have said it better myself!

  • @ndemaking53 lol Solid snake isn't dead. Did you play the game?

  • Here's to you Snake.. RIP

  • @Stryker14X you mean Big boss, right? David is not dead.

  • @Kingdomheartsgurlkyo

    Actually foxdie kills Snake six months after MGS4 didn't you pay attention to Naomi?

  • @Stryker14X He doesn't die from foxdie, he dies because he has a shortened lifespan.

  • @rblanco666

    Oh yeah, some thing like that i meant yeah.. I just thought that the FOXDIE she put in him in MGS1 took him out

  • Mgs is the best game series ever :)

  • Real Hero's admit they aren't hero's never were ;-D

  • I really like this song ^.^ I'm glad I found it on here. I woke up when this song came on during the credits when my boyfriend beat the game. Beautiful voice!

  • @TheLittleBluePig

    Lol that must have been nice :D Waking up to such a beautiful song

  • This song literally made me change my stance on war and wanting to join the army.

  • @kingbooforums No think about how raiden,snake,solidus,ocelot and liquid sought to free themselves from war and to choose how they wanted to live but never could well.. except for raiden and snake.

  • @MrKaddus Looks like the only people pissing on other people are the ones that ARE 'real' and are pissing on you. MGS4 is a brilliant game and you probably just have an extreme hate for next gen consoles and games in a whole or something, but I'm not gonna go too far in this pointless bullshit because it's clearly not worth it.

  • @MrKaddus explain why

  • @MrKaddus wrong

  • me...my opinion an im a die hard MGS fan but i think kojima should of used way to fall as the ending song..its a more emotional song an better fitting...in my opinion i could be wrong but still the metal gear series makes me cry every time i play them...specially 3, 4, an peace walker...those three alone are master pieces an dont forget portable ops

  • We all fucking cried .. this game is EPIC!

  • the thought of snake not being in the next one makes me sad

  • I can't say I've ever played a game this artistic, emotional, and exhilarating. MGS4 is good enough make grown men cry and satisfy gamers with one of the greatest conclusions to any series one could ask for. Thank you Kojima

  • This is the worst of all of the MGS song endings. What the fuck does two Italian Immigrants wrongly executed during the Great Depression have anything to do with MGS? Nothing! Besides this bitch can't sing worth a damn.

    HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE'S TO U! HERES 2U! WHOOOOOOOOOA! YEAAAAAAAH!

    Ugh.

  • @MrKaddus Haters gonna hate.

  • @MrKaddus I agree that choosing to play this song at the end is highly illogical, but have some fucking goddamn respect.

  • @Tarantula33222 For a fucking videogame? Get real.

  • @MrKaddus Troll HARDER troll ...

  • @MrKaddus go f*ck yourself

  • @MrKaddus

    Listen bitch this was remade to fit in with the death of Big Boss after he sacrificed so much.

  • I love al metal gear games

  • The world doesn't need a hero. The world needs Solid Snake... He still lives, in my hearts, that's enough for me

  • you people need to watch the credits all the way through!!!

  • (SPOILER) for the last time... SNAKE DID NOT COMMIT SUICIDE IN THE END!

  • @MrSoapywater1 You don't need one. Big Boss explains that he is free to live his life but only for the few months he has left. Put two and two together and you should be able to work out that after these few months have elapsed, he's probably dead. And especially with dying from old age and all the organ failure that comes with it, his lifespan can be pinpointed.

  • MGS saga raised me up, taught me many things, including philosophical part! From all video games I ever played, Solid Snake/Naked Snake are both my heroes, my idols in life. This may sound weird, but playing these games, you find something for yourself, you start to appreciate life in any way.

    Such games, like MGS or FF, which gave me everything to be happy, trully deserve to be called masterpieces for all times. No matter how advanced games will be, MGS will always stand beyond epicness!!!!!

  • all epic games have sad ending music

  • this song is attractive

  • true hero........ solid snake! :)  good bye :(

  • this song is big boss farewell song

  • A great song even though not referencing snake is still applicable after going through 9+ years of hell. Foxdie,losing allies, and his shortened lifespan this is truly his Moment.

  • metal gear solid saga is an experiance that i'll never forget.

  • @abinaber i wish it wasnt over..

  • Solid Snake is my hero. (Period)

  • most emotional game ive played, i cried like a bitch at the end

  • 19 dislikes? seriously?

  • This may seem off topic, but there have been a lot of times I have wanted to commit suicide growing up. Needless to say, this song is my reason to keep moving on.

  • @InfuserGod good things come out from good music :)

  • @InfuserGod

    Start listening to august burns red. People say the same before they started listening to their music

  • My hero is the person who fights to protect this country and to protect the freedoms of each american citizen.

  • this song are me tear at the end of mgs4! and i still feel sadness when i finish the game

  • Like Nicola e Bart, his end his a new begining of us. Rip our hero! You tragedy is your triumph

  • Snake...you let me a chance to dream...know one thing ,me,us, will always miss you...that is it... you are...our hero...YOU ARE OUR HERO!!!Who think that snake is your childhood hero post "Snake is my hero to"...*snif*i will always miss you

  • Snake...you let me a chance to dream...know one thing me,us will always miss you...that is...our hero...YOU ARE OUR HERO!!!Who think that snake is your childhood hero post "Snake is my hero to"

  • Here's to you, Big Boss and David

  • @m4rkss True great american patriots.

  • @m4rkss More like Jack and David.

  • This is good... Isn't it?

  • How could you dislike such a beautiful song, have you no heart or soul.

  • This makes me sad.

  • @symustafa96 (cont.) aesthetic. It's great fun, and it's got a great plot. But there's no reason why the two couldn't do without each other.

  • @EatMyPwn it doesn't do anything as a game because it's more than that. i know your comment is over a year old, but imagine a world where people didn't only play COD............ yeah, MGS would get more recognition through public eyes.

  • @1stnaruto You probably missed my point, but I don't remember exactly what I wrote.

    To me there's not much of a difference between Metal Gear Solid and Call of Duty in terms of artistic merit as a piece of interactive entertainment. Metal Gear Solid is probably much more enjoyable and fulfilling to a much more intelligent audience- but its narrative has little to nothing to do with its interactive elements. That's not saying choose-your-own-adventure-nove­l-games are perfect, either.

  • @1stnaruto It has more to do with using interactivity to make us feel something- anything. That could be fun, as is the case with say: Super Meat Boy, or Call of Duty for people with tiny attention spans (or who just don't go for the arts). Or meaningful, like Silent HIll 2, or a combination of the two: like Half-Life 2. The thing is, all of those games use their interactive elements to reflect their narratives, and vice versa. In Metal Gear Solid, fun though it may be, the only connection is

  • This song always brings a tear to my eye...No video game will ever be able to produce such a magnificent personality :'( What a beautiful game but nonetheless, DAMN YOU KOJIMA, FOR MAKING ME LOVE THIS GAME THEN KILLING THE CHARACTER YOU MADE US LOVE!!!

  • SNAKE MITO !

  • I beat MGS 3 14 Times, and this game about the same, I loved both games.

  • Epic theme. Metal Gear always!

  • Epic musical score. Snake forever

  • This song literally brought tears to my eyes when I beat the game

  • amazing game, it's one of my favorite :-)

  • 20 years of gaming history culminated in that final battle atop Liquid Ocelot's ship. Wrapping up all that story and putting Snake to rest, then finishing with this was just a little too much for this mere man to bear. :')

  • amazing game need I say more?

  • we will miss you snake i will get the H.D collection of mgs 2 , cba with 3 , just to relive some good memories and i will play this song while playing and snake you will live on in our hearts as a legend ....peace.... <3

  • we will miss you snake i will get the H.D collection of mgs 2 , cba with 3 , just to relive some good memories and i will play this song while playing

  • Saddest ending in video game history, and Im not even a legit gamer...

  • @themmafan1 I cried during the whole damn song. This is hands down One of the Greatest Games in Video Game History. Thank you Hideo Kojima

  • such a beautiful song

  • A hero who even after his death will never stop of existed thank you for all these epic adventure which we have was able to cross under forms of a mythical hero thank you konami thank you sony thank you

  • Lol @ all you girls.

    ...The song is just epic. End of.

    "Here's to you snake you'll live in our hearts forever"? WTF.......

  • i feel sorry for those people who have a xbox, really sad ;(

  • mgs 4 best game ever!!!PERIOD!!!!!

  • a genius left this world 2 days ago ...

    HERE'S TO YOU Steve

    Rest in peace Steve Jobs :'(

  • An hero who can't exist in our world.

    My hero. Our hero.

    RIP....

    ....

    ....David

  • @FinalFantasy992 he's not dead. didnt you beat MGS4?

  • @cagedbutterfly93 oh yeah he is immortal -.-

  • @FinalFantasy992 david hayter is dead?

  • @negitivem

    David is solid snake's real name.

  • @Takeseru Thank U for the answer :)

  • @FinalFantasy992 oh...

  • @FinalFantasy992 He's not dead...

  • @MrSoapywater1 He doesn't die at the end of the game but he is given just a few months to live. So basically, his death is heavily implied but never seen in the game.

  • @rabbidluigi there is no confermation he is dead though

  • MGS1 taught me, as a four year old, how to read. Not even kidding. I have literally grown up with these games. You live forever in my heart Snake <3

  • @kisalovesbubz Really. Zelda taught me how to read. Videogames really get less credit than they deserve.

  • @ShaDHP23 Exactly! And then there's those people who try to blame the current violence on video games... :/

  • ニコラとバートってサッコとヴァンゼッティの事だったんだ。

    そしてオリジナルはジョーン・バエズだったとは。

  • I listen to this literaly 18 times already in a row

  • Perfect song. Perfect game.

  • A lot of games are played for fun and then forgotten, but this game is one for the history books.

  • fuck i accidentlly flagged this awsome video please forgive me this song is beast

  • I'll never forget the countless times Hal shouted, Snake whats wrong?!, SNAKE SNAAAAAKKKKEEEE....... RIP snake you earned it

  • I miss you Snake! So many memories

  • Comment removed

  • cool, i found my funeral song

  • Rest in peace , my friend T-T

  • Is this game was place in "History Education" book?

  • I have "This Is Good. Isn't It..?" tattooed on my wrist... God I love Metal Gear Solid

  • @TomBrandon121 Great tattoo. Big Bosses final words iirc.

  • My favorite part is the part where it hangs, before the singing starts. Which is when you're just starting at Snake and Big Boss for 5 seconds, right before the credits.

  • when i buy this game in 2008! i'll cry because!! this is the last mission of solid snake!. :-(

    we will miss u my friend ,snake,take care my friend :-)

  • In the cutscene where Liquid and Solid fight. Near the end of that fight, What is the name of that song?

  • @Arunp47 "old snakes theme" or "calling to the night"  i think

  • @Arunp47 I think you mean the song "Snake Eater"

  • As powerful as this song is as the ending song of the main series, it is twice as powerful when considered in keeping with Kojima's original ending. In my heart and the hearts of most Kojima fans, Solid Snake died at the grave of Big Boss, by his own hand, after years of fighting for the future of the world.

  • This game is from 2008 but i always will remember this game.

  • listening to (here's to you) at the end of MGS4 brought tiers to my eyes, as I say goodbye to a wonderful, beautiful, inspiring game that I first played at 5 years old. I say farewell at 18 years old, and for bringing me joy through my childhood. heres to you Hideo Kojima.

  • i still cant believe they nerfed the civillian class in team fortress 2...

  • This game......I can't even put in words how Beautiful,Creative,and insprational it is to me and so many people That have played it And enjoyed every Hour long cutscene,enjoyed every character Solid snake, Kojima I solute you.

  • Gente que habla este idioma ¿ cuantos que hablan español jugaron este juego y son los " verdaderos fans " de este juego, hablo de los que pasaron todos los juegos, vieron y escucharon las canciones y las escenas y conosen toda la historia y sienten emocion viendo escenas,canciones y/o la historia ?

    Saludos desde Argentina

  • @LautocheVrotus Me incluyo en tu grupo :)

  • Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti forever in my hearth!

  • I´ve never played any of these videogames...but I always see the videos and listen the music...and I cry. I wanna play it all! :´D

  • @Salamandrawoman you should play all the MGS games they are all so good :)

  • this can bring every1 to tears... ;)

    even after watch the epic death of Big Boss.... OMG... :')

  • I cry with each Metal Gear game....

    Metal Gear saved my life.... It inspired me to be a writer.... I love you Snake, I love you Metal Gear, I love you Hideo Kojima.

    You're so amazing, so talented and creative.

    So inspirational.  Metal Gear is so important to me, one of the few things I actually have in this life of hospitals and pain that I must endure with Sickle Cell, Metal Gear, is always there for me. I love you, sooo much.

  • I wept like such a baby. But I saluted at the end of the game while listening to this song and staring at my Metal Gear posters. This isn't just a game to me, It really changed me. Hedeo Kojima.. Absolute Genius. Solid Snake, Big Boss, Adamska.. LEGENDS.

    *salute*

  • to bad mgs4 is not on xbox =/ the MGSs series are epic and best games ever

  • While I can't speak for others and because there's alot of game out there I haven't played, I'll just say my honest opinion about MGS4. This is hands down one of THE best games of all time, and I do not say that at all lightly. It's easily my favorite game, and the story brought me to tears just like Snake Eater did, it showed me a whole new side of the action genre of games like Sons of Liberty did (the first one I played), and it proved games can be so much more like the first did. My fav game

  • kudos to Snake and Fox! Only two games made me cry. Final Fantasy VIII and MG! Here's to you Snake and Fox! May your memories will stay forever =) and please don't make a hollywood movie for this game. Don't ruin it! ^_^ Anyways, I like the version of this artist. She sang it with all her heart.

  • best game EVER!

  • esta cancion le va al juego como anillo al dedo, pues la letra que dice "heres to you" y "rest forever deep in your herart" pareciera como si le estuviera diciendo al jugador "este juego estara en tu corazon por el resto de tu vida :D"

  • this song fix in the game like a ring in a finger, the phrases heres to you and rest forever deep in our heart, its like the game talking to the gamer, its like, "this game will be in your heart for the rest of your life"

  • Soy un Argentino que jugo toda la saga de este juego..... y admito que, despues de tanto años jugando este juego... todos sus juegos, admito que cuando termino el MGS4 en 2008, llore.... xD por mas estupido que suene llorar por un videojuego, bueno, ok, pero este juego es demaciado emosionante......... y sobre todo me pongo " mal " cuando escucho esta cancion..... este juego ya no se va a llamar Metal Gear Solid..... se va a llamar Metal Gear.... Saludos desde Argentina ....

  • I've been following Snake since the first Metal Gear Solid (sadly Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 were before my time), and I will freely admit I wept when I finished GotP. Such a brilliant, brilliant piece. It's not just a game, it's art.

  • i never played all 4 of the metal gear solids i have only played guns of the patriots but through my life ive watched my brothers play metal gear solid and ive followed the story line through from metal gear solid 1 through to guns of the patriots.

  • I don't think I've ever felt so much closure after finishing a game.

  • @ContortedWhisk Yeah I know what you mean. When you beat most games these days, the experience is a bit of a let down. More of a "Meh... well thats over." But when you beat MGS4 theres this feeling that youve finally arrived at the end of an epic journey that you and snake took together. Especially for fans that have been going through each of the games in the series it was the culmination of over a decade of gaming.

  • @tobs001 Yes, finishing MGS4 has been the single most satisfying experience I've ever had with a game. I guess it comes down to the fact that one really knows the characters through the story, there is an emotional investment. Oh, and one shouldn't forget to mention it's one hell of a game to play!

  • @tobs001 Yeah you don't feel like you really accomplished anything. You couldn't give a fuck what happened to the characters but Metal gear? Damn. You really feel for the characters and the story is mind blowing on how great this game is.

  • @tobs001 I followed this Metal Gear saga from beginning to end. I'm only admitting I shed a tear at the ending because you don't know who I am.

  • @versatility357 i did too.. and i couldent care less if u didnt know who i am.. cause its not shamefull.. its only human

  • @strikken00 If you told someone a video game made you cry you'd never hear the end of it but to us it was like a really long movie with many parts. I just avoided all the people poking fun at me. So no it's not shameful but people are fucked up period.

  • @versatility357 true people are really fukked up too..

  • @tobs001 Here's an interesting fact: in 6 years time, if Kojima keeps releasing what happened in between games, it will have been 3 decades for some people. Thats right, MG is almost 25 years old... and still its by far the series that I've been most into of all the games I've played... and thats a lot.

  • Glad to know I'm not the only one who saluted. This series changed me.

  • How can the 19 ppl hate this theme?

  • Here's to you.

    ::Salutes::

  • The lyrics for the song should have been "heres to you, the Joy and Big Boss". So we can remember Big Boss and Joy for what they done as heroes.

  • Next game will have Raiden in it, lets hope he'll do good...

  • Hey guys. I just wanted to tell you that Nicola and Bart were two people who were executed in 1927 for murdering 2 people in a armed robbery. There is dispute about their innocence that still is being debated to this day. This song was put in the ending to tell us to remember the Boss and Big Boss, two people who were wrongfully accused of being traitors and objectified as terrorists by the government when they were actually trying to make the world a better place.

    Share this out to others.

  • @wildki11er Dude I never thought of it like that. Thanks

  • @wildki11er

    You know, I'd done a little research into this song prior to checking this individual video out... but hearing it put like that, it makes much more sense, two men who were mere pawns... their use finally over, to incite their purpose... made examples of so that future generations couldn't gather the courage to break free from oppression.

  • @wildki11er That makes total sense. Thanks for sharing this.

  • Comment removed

  • @wildki11er Very fitting for the both of them, two of the greatest icons in gaming history.

  • @wildki11er actually, no. in Kojima's original ending, he had Snake and Otacon tried and executed for war crimes. the KojiPro team all hated the ending and they re-wrote it. that's why Kojima used this song in the credits.

  • @wildki11er actually, no. in Kojima's original ending, he had Snake and Otacon tried and executed for war crimes. the KojiPro team all hated the ending and they re-wrote it. that's why Kojima used this song in the credits.

  • @wildki11er Here's to you, John and David

  • evry time i hear this i cry cuz it theme of goodbye to solid snake

  • This song probably would have been (somewhat) more relateable if Kojima & co. decided to keep the part where Snake and Otacon turned themselves in.

  • damn it kojima! u crossed the line by killing off snake!

  • @03212871007 They didnt kill him off. It was the final Story entry of the Metal gear series anyways so yea. But Snake was going to die in 6 months but he still had a life to live Which was something he never had.

  • To Snake His Legend will live on in our hearts

  • i was inspired by these series kind of games like this,

    MGS saga took me back to preschool and finished MGS1 by myself as a young kid,

    Snake, you are my hero, and i salute you

    Thanks for helping me through life..

    My old friend, rest easy..

    Here's to you :(

  • Anyone know where I can get this song, or the whole OST?

  • Beautiful song. It makes you sad to think you might not see Solid and Liquid in a game ever again.

  • i want this played at my funeral, next to my father.

  • Sacco e Vanzetti Italia!! <3
