To be fair with MGS if you are watching the cut scenes on youtube it's like you are pirating the entire game.

I've been flagged for the longass SNES music videos I put up, but I don't have those videos monetized or anything, so all I have to do is "acknowledge third party content," it disables the ability to monetize and that's it. I haven't been flagged for any reviews or anything like that.
For reviews, I simply put a disclaimer about how the video falls under fair use at the bottom of the description. This makes the YouTube system approve videos for monetization very quickly most of the time. Never had an issue with reviews, but most of them are for games which came out before the sixth generation.
For Let's Plays, I've only ever monetized videos when I've had explicit permission from the game creators or it's said clearly in their T.O.S. Never had an issue. The same goes for previewing new games or indie games. However, even if you have permission from a developer, the game can contain music you might not have permission to use, and it could still get flagged. Matched third-party content has appeared in let's plays I never monetized, but it has never affected anything.
If you put in any cutscenes from a Konami game, regardless of what your video is, it will almost always get crawled and flagged automatically for copyrighted content. So, if you want to review a Konami game, avoid putting in cutscenes.

I didn't just upload a video of the cutscenes, I just partly added in some for the benefit of the review since the cutscenes are such a huge part of the game. I don't want to leave them out just because of crappy software that doesn't recognise fair use; that would ruin my review.

I highly doubt the system recognises what you put in the description box. The software matches up video and audio from uploaded videos and compares them to a datebase contributed to by copyright holders.

Without the description monetizing videos has taken me 24 hours, and with the description it's never taken more than three minutes. That's just my experience and I can't really prove it, but I have been told multiple times in the past by other YouTubers that the description is taken into account by the system when you initially publish the videos. The crawlers that match up the video/audio and flag them later weren't really what I was talking about in that part of what I was saying, just the initial monetization being approved or not.
Fair enough. I guess if you did write something in the box like "boxing scene from Rocky" it would be fairly easy for a system to pick that up and tag it as an infringement.
, so no biggy
