Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Ending battle against Senator Steven Armstrong. Chapter 8 - Assassination Attempt - File R-07 - Comment if you like and watch in HD
Well you can survive without a heart for few second and it would take 90 minutes for cell death. So yes you can speak without a heart but not for long (without any support/help) Edit: This information is incorrect. Ignore it.
@@zizochemlali4639 they are still active. I had them designed even though my heart to be crushed, they carry out the prime directive of healing. Only delayed because i had to play it as I died.
I'm surprised nobody's mention the amazing cinematography when Armstrong is laying on the ground with Raiden standing over him. It's literally Armstrong being Raiden's shadow and the tendrils connecting Raiden and Armstrong showing that Armstrong and Raiden were really kindred spirits and that Raiden will end up carrying on Armstrong's will/heart/spirit.
This fight was so fun, and a surprise too. You play the entire game fighting other cyborgs, then the last dude is some nano-machine organic monster - which is pretty unique too, i can't think of this idea being used in any other work of fiction (I don't mean just "nano-machines" but the way they work by hardening on impact, and the way they make him look.
The closest comparison would be Greed from full metal alchemist, who can rearrange the carbon in his body to make his skin nearly indestructible, which turns it dark like with Armstrong. Though, unlike Armstrong, it’s consciously controlled, and not responding to physical trauma.
@@Dovahkiin106 Well that's because we had so much more time to know Greed. He was present for almost the entire story while Armstrong only came in at the end of MGR. Also I'm surprised no one has mentioned the nano-suits from Crysis.
Not a MGR gamer but felt bad for Senator Armstrong. His speeches is like a dying politician father who talks to his son even tho it's like it's agaisn't him. He still chooses Raiden as his successor. What a lad.
@@damptruff8435 Just here to tell you that it's "Just here to tell you that it's 'against', not 'agains't'.", not "just here to tell you that it's 'against' not 'against't'".
that ending was deep.. kindred spirits.. as he was like ur killin what you class fleas to provide liberty.. then raiden kills him as if a flea... kindred spirits... an excellent example that you cannot defeat evil with evil no matter what
Are you rich? Powerful? Inhumantly strong? If not, you're one of the weak Armstrong would have purged. But hey, who am I to judge, go and be suicidal if you want, it's a free country.
@@Poldovico you got it backwards, it's those rich powerful people he wants to get rid of, the ones who exploit others for their own gain, the maggots feasting on america's corpse, I don't think those are the ONLY people he would purge however
@@behindyou529 he would purge anyone without the power to survive his purge. That's the poor, generally, regardless of what he may claim. Anyone without a budget to fill up on nanomachines (son)
I’m really moved by this. Armstrong with his plans were gonna do quite a lot within America.. using war as a business to end all wars.. he literally took advantage of something that was there even tho it was entirely pointless. If anything I feel bad that he dies. A few things he said were wrong indeed like destroying the weak, but it positive that by the weak, he really meant the people in power, the rich, the people who are on “high grounds” and chose to keep that power within himself. Everyone is tearing themselves apart little by little and this is the truth of the real world. When he told Raiden that it’s because of his will and determination he’s still alive and keep going to fight for what he believes is right is absolutely true. So many things Armstrong says is true. Only thing I don’t agree is getting rid of the weak, people who struggle. Cause they don’t have that same mindset so if he would of prefer to help those in need then I would be 100% on board with him to be honest.
Same, when he said the weak will be purged it sounded wrong But then he points out raiden that was weak but he survived he became stronger and took his own path. Purging the weak doesn't necessarily mean killing them, it could also mean that people that was once weak could become stronger still technically reducing the amount of weak people in addition to the people you mentioned
I sorta see it more how American politics works like. You have two sides, fighting for ultimate control in a chaos of mayhem. Why this game rules! And Armstrong is funny!
What the bosses taught me Blade wolf/ monsoon: how to properly parry Mistral: how to take out all obstacles before the boss Sundowner: how to properly use blade mode Sam: how to respect the boss and enjoy the fight Armstrong: how to use everything I have learned up to that point
Armstrong is teaching you how to fight without a sword (You'll understand if you played in the hardest difficulty in the game) and then it teaches you how to fight with all previous skills
many years later and i keep coming back to this, in my book, and playing games since the ps1 era, this is easily one of the best final boss fights ever
I fucking love this game. I already thought 4 saved Raiden, but this really did him justice. Fuck Dante, I'd Rather See Bayonetta and Raiden in a game together. Ok.. I don't really mean fuck Dante... I'd like to See all three, but I'd prefer Raiden.
@@JulianneStingray It was ok, but weird.Un-even terrain for introducing a new character who was supposed to be a psychopathic soldier murderer child. It was like Episode 7 Star Wars. It wasn't bad, but it deserved to be better for the IP.
Armstrong was right except for 1 thing not all "strength" persons he favors thinks like him. Meaning if he dies his dream will rip apart by the very people he fights for.
I've always believed the best bosses/villains in stories are the ones that make you question if you are the hero or a villain in disguise. Don't have to get you to change your mind about jack, but they get you questioning.
Memories broken, the truth goes unspoken I've even forgotten my name I don't know the season or what is the reason I'm standing here holding my blade A desolate place (place) Without any trace (trace) It's only the cold wind I feel It's me that I spite as I stand up and fight The only thing I know for real There will be blood (blood) shed (shed) The man in the mirror nods his head The only one (one) left (left) Will ride upon the dragon's back Because the mountains don't give back what they take Oh no, there will be blood (blood) shed (shed) It's the only thing I've ever known Losing my identity Wondering, "Have I gone insane?" To find the truth in front of me I must climb this mountain range Looking downward from this deadly height and never realizing why I fight Bloodshed lyrics
I just realized something. Sam's Murasama was a katana, which is a sword most commonly used by samurais. Raiden's real name is Jack. So during the final fight against Armstrong, Raiden was basically Samurai Jack.
0:53 Standing here I realize You were just like me Trying to make history. But who's to judge the right from wrong? When our gun is down I think we'll both agree That violence breeds violence But in the end it has to be this way I've cut my own path You've followed your wrath But maybe we're both the same The world? has turned and so many have burned but nobody is to blame.

I like how in those final statements of Armstrong Raiden did not respond. In a way, he agrees with him, and that just solidifies the meaning of the song.
Standing here, i realize You were just like me, trying to make history But who's to judge, the right from wrong When our guard is down, i think we'll agree That violence breeds violence But in the end It has to be this way!
"War ... Will continue as an institution. As an industry. Man will fight for reasons they don't understand, causes they don't believe in..." He hit straight in bingo.
Armstrong has fought for what he believed. He had to have an honorable death but he has been killed in the most disrespectful way . He has been misunderstood by many . Yet he was still doing his best to achieve his dream and trying to make people understand him. He will always stay in our hearts with his MEMES…. R.I.P SENATOR ARMSTORNG
His death wasn't disrespectful. He actually fought like a soldier would, despite him being a politician. That's better than most real-life politicians.
Now, for those who don’t quite understand Armstrong and his ideology, let me explain. Armstrong wishes to end war as a business and create a Social Darwinist utopia, where all the citizens of America fight their own battles and the strong survive while the weak perish. From a certain point of view, his arguments actually do make sense, and considering America, and by extension the world, were until recently controlled by the whims of the Patriot AI, it’s not hard to see where he’s coming from. For what it’s worth, he very much despises the Patriots; in fact, Armstrong is ideologically quite similar to fellow Patriot-hating politician George Sears, AKA Solidus Snake, who coincidentally Raiden also fought. Hell, much like Solidus, Armstrong also has some connection to the creation of child soldiers. Of course, it needs to be noted that while Armstrong definitely makes a good case, he is also a bonafide anti-villain. For those who need clarification, TVTropes describes an anti-villain as “a character with heroic goals, personality traits, and/or virtues who is ultimately villainous. Their desired ends are mostly good, but their means of getting there are evil. Alternatively, their desired ends are evil, but on a personal level they are far more ethical or moral than most villains and they thus use fairly benign means to achieve it, and can be heroic on occasion. They could also be someone or something whose desired ends or means are not necessarily ‘evil’ at all, but their actions simply conflict with that of whoever seems to be the protagonist.” While he does have good intentions and seems to genuinely want to better his country, the fact he resorts to terrorist actions, child soldiers, and ridiculous levels of violence makes him clearly the bad guy. In the end, good intentions just don’t justify bad methods.
That was quite impressive seeing how he used the Murasama, but will that be enough for Raiden to beat Wolverine, who has a blade that can do the same thing.
Nice and all but would've been nicer to take away the Nanomachine Heart instead of crushing it so that Doctor could study it and maybe give Raiden some nanomachines enhancements. Maybe a way to strengthen his armor and weapons, or even some mini implants that protect his remaining human parts so they become as resistant as his cybernetic parts.
I like how Armstrong was still able to talk after his heart was literally crushed
Nano- wait...

Hey man, his death wasn't *that* disrespectful. Raiden chopped the other bosses to pieces.
His death wasn't disrespectful. He actually fought like a soldier would, despite him being a politician. That's better than most real-life politicians.
Now, for those who don’t quite understand Armstrong and his ideology, let me explain.
Armstrong wishes to end war as a business and create a Social Darwinist utopia, where all the citizens of America fight their own battles and the strong survive while the weak perish. From a certain point of view, his arguments actually do make sense, and considering America, and by extension the world, were until recently controlled by the whims of the Patriot AI, it’s not hard to see where he’s coming from.

Hell, much like Solidus, Armstrong also has some connection to the creation of child soldiers.
Of course, it needs to be noted that while Armstrong definitely makes a good case, he is also a bonafide anti-villain. For those who need clarification, TVTropes describes an anti-villain as “a character with heroic goals, personality traits, and/or virtues who is ultimately villainous. Their desired ends are mostly good, but their means of getting there are evil. Alternatively, their desired ends are evil, but on a personal level they are far more ethical or moral than most villains and they thus use fairly benign means to achieve it, and can be heroic on occasion. They could also be someone or something whose desired ends or means are not necessarily ‘evil’ at all, but their actions simply conflict with that of whoever seems to be the protagonist.”
While he does have good intentions and seems to genuinely want to better his country, the fact he resorts to terrorist actions, child soldiers, and ridiculous levels of violence makes him clearly the bad guy.
In the end, good intentions just don’t justify bad methods.
The do justify bad methods, in real life.
Since there's no protag with plot armour to deal with the supposed bad guy.

Bro is so lonely he responded on his comment twice
@@user-jj4pj5xg5thehehehehahhahaha...i have gone..mentally insane 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈
That was quite impressive seeing how he used the Murasama, but will that be enough for Raiden to beat Wolverine, who has a blade that can do the same thing.
Yes.
I think death battle made them fight I believe 🤔 you should check it out
Yes
Raiden beaten Wolverine lmfao
lmao wolverine
i love how at the end Raiden stands and senator lying there like a shadow of jack's soul
broooo..
this played right after i watched the Raiden vs Armstrong video. this is such a coincedence.
Unos de los combates mas épico de la historia
Sin duda alguna.
Now this is what I want
What do you think after raiden killed you?
The music is so good!!
Senator tells the future
You know you've got a good writer when he makes you sad to see the villain die
nah man i feel bad for armstrong
So badass!
Damn, the music in this game is absolutely gorgeous
It really is
Nice and all but would've been nicer to take away the Nanomachine Heart instead of crushing it so that Doctor could study it and maybe give Raiden some nanomachines enhancements.
Maybe a way to strengthen his armor and weapons, or even some mini implants that protect his remaining human parts so they become as resistant as his cybernetic parts.
