Welcome
to Metal Gear Help, where evil
is powerful but
courage is solid! I will make walkthroughs and show Easter
Eggs for Metal Gear games and provide news for anything
Kojima Productions related. I have been a fan of Metal
Gear for a long time, and I nearly mastered almost all of
them. Also my Playstation 2 is nearly dead, so if something
takes a minute to load, please just cope with it. Also, please
keep in mind that this website does contain spoilers in most
content that is not walkthrough related!
November 13th: Sorry for the lack of new videos the past few weeks, I've been getting very lazy and it doesn't help that I am going to be busy almost every day until March. I am trying to continue to make videos, but there is just not enough time. So sorry about that guys, I'm going to try and continue but only expect about one video every week or so. Next, you may have already noticed, but the SBWalkthrough92 walkthrough for Resident Evil 4, which Sam and I started about a year ago then went on a long hiatus, has now been deleted and canceled. I personally loved making videos with him and am trying to get him to restart, but I do not expect it to happen any time soon.
Lastly, as a reminder, the Metal Gear Solid 2 Novel comes this month. There is a link on the Preview Blog to the Random House website where you can read an excerpt from the book. It is worth a look for those hard core MGS2 fans.
In my opinion, the first Metal Gear Solid novel was great but there were parts I didn't like. The parts that stand out to me were small, but noticeable. Benson screwed up at the beginning when he mentioned that FOXHOUND had gone rouge some time before the events of Shadow Mosses. Ryan Payton had said on the Kojima Productions Report that Benson had gone through the Playstation version, the Gamecube version, and the Digital Graphic Novel on the PSP. When you go through Shadow Mosses so much it is simply unacceptable to mess something like that up.
He made Snake sound so cheesy before the Ocelot battle when Ocelot asked Snake if he'd measure up to Big Boss (referring to the duel they had in Snake Eater). I liked the nod to the prequel, but Snake's reaction made it one of the worst parts in any Metal Gear related material ever. He said that he had not brought his ruler. In my opinion, that is ridiculous.
I also didn't care much for the Physco Mantis section when Mantis put an image of a carnival in Snake's head. It just didn't fit in.
I also have a few more nit picks, as do most who have played through the game countless times. I don't mind a little variation (as I said before, a slight nod to the other games is fine with me) but when he starts butchering parts of the story is were I get irritated. There are a couple parts in the new book that I want word for word, like the scene where President Johnson reveals information about the Patriots, or the ending Codec call with a Patriot AI right before the Solidus battle. I want these and many others to be exactly the same as the game.
Now all that ranting aside, I love MGS2 (as if I do not make that obvious, as I talk about it all the time) and I am looking forward to this very much!
October 30th: I would like to start off today by asking for suggestions and requests! Anything that you think would make Metal Gear Help a better site would be appreciated. Additionally, anything for ZOE Help that you would like to see would also be a huge help. You can email me at brantay@metalgearhelp.4t.com or send me a Youtube message. Thanks! I would also like to say that Metal Gear Help will no longer be active during the week days, excluding the Preview Blog as I will always find the time to update that. This is because over the fall and winter I am going to be very busy. Once spring starts, Metal Gear Help should be back on track. I apologize in advance for the delays. My Playstation 2 is not looking very good at the moment, it looks like fixing my Metal Gear Solid 3 walkthrough and recording (possibly) a Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake walkthrough is just not going to happen. So, my plan is to release the first four parts to the walkthrough I already have just to see it it helps anyone. Metal Gear Solid 4 will be next and then I'm finished until Rising comes out. So, that is my current plan, which does seem to change every week but whatever. Lastly, I would like to apologize for the lack of videos this past week, again, I've been very busy. Please be patient with me.
Have a happy Halloween!
October 17th: With all the ZOE talk on the Preview Blog yesterday, I guess this would be a good time to talk about my plans for ZOE Help. Some may already be aware of the Youtube Channel I made a while back for it and I actually started the walkthrough, but never got around to working on it again and the video was eventually deleted. I still have all the files for ZOE Help (which include files for the website I had set up and two videos) so I am considering giving it another go. Please do not expect it any time soon though, at least until Metal Gear Solid 2 is finished. So I will continue to work on it, but it will be in Metal Gear Help's shadow for a while.
October 6th: My Metal Gear Solid 2 walkthrough is now underway! Be sure to check it out. As some of you may know, I was planning on a walkthrough Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and then redoing Metal Gear Solid 3. These plans may be to be put on hold due to my Playstation 2. Both discs of Subsistence causes a "Disc Read Error" and once I got "Please insert a Playstation or Playstation 2 format disc." I find that both laughable and frustrating at the same time. I guess those two walkthroughs are a ways off, but if I can't get the two working by the time MGS2 is finished, then I will start Metal Gear Solid 4! At this point, I would plan on uploading a side guide called "The Cardboard Box Guide" for MGS1 and MGS2 (I'll add MGS3 if I can get it to work) I have the basic idea for "The Cardboard Box Guide" in my head, but it is still only in the planing stages, so expect more information on it in the coming weeks, as I will announce what will happen before Metal Gear Solid 2 is complete.
