700k very well deserved! Keep it up man!
“High art” games: pretend to be deep when secretly dumb
This game: pretends to be dumb when secretly deep
I wouldn't say it's pretending to be just that it appears dumb on the surface.
The stuff about memes for example would have been super deep had the internet not ruined the term for everyone.
Devil may cry: I think we would be friends you and i.
it's so dumb yet genius at the same time, and i fucking love it
It’s not pretending to be dumb. It is dumb. Which makes it genius. Because life is dumb.
In other words: mgrr is life.
High art when art low walks in:
“Dude, his armor has a six pack, that means he has a six pack IRL!”
Well, throughout the entire game, he’s just stunting on a dude who threw a Metal Gear the size of a skyscraper into the stratosphere with his bare hands, so yeah, Sam probably has a six pack.
Nah Sam's probably got like a twelve pack.
Sam has thunder thighs
He can't not have a six pack in my eyes
true.. sam is the weakest brazillian man... he probably have ten or twelve packs under his armor
Samn is the pack
No that is his six pack. That's just an exo suit, form fitting to show off his Brazilian physique.
Fun fact: the very dramatic what seems to be a rehearsed sword sheathing that raiden does after defeating sam is apparently a specific sword sheathing technique that is meant to pay respect to the defeated foe
If I was on his shoes, I would do it too tbh
Press "F" to pay respect to Jetstream Sam aka Samuel Rodriguez
@@rudhra5957 Rodrigues* he's Brazillian, so it's not woth a "z" on the end.
Also they did this so the spirit of the foe wouldn’t curse the blade.

I adore when he picks Jack up and starts dusting him off. Armstrong was a better villain than we could have hoped for.
To bad Jacks right. The Senator believed he was the good guy. Actually insane.
"At what cost?"
@@foreshadowing-sp5qc immaterial to my point. But yeah.
@@stillcantbesilencedevennow immaterial to your point. Is your head empty fella? I directly corroborated your point by addressing the fact he isn't some two dimensional enemy motivated by the most lackluster and drawn out aspirations possible. Metal gear survive was a good example. The main enemy is the dev team and you don't even get an explanation lmao
you are spouting asperger's lmfao@@foreshadowing-sp5qc
Metal gear rising is just pure fun. It doesn't take itself seriously, it knows what kind of game it is and platinum games just has so much fun with raiden
Not to mention it's short, a AAA game that is short, especially on the era where story driven games were on the rise, it's rare that I want to replay a game as soon as I'm finished and just wanting to perfect the combat, it's something that not even DMC5 did and I love that game, but metal gear rising, I'm currently replaying it on hard mode only a day after finishing it in normal, also I'm trying to do it all with S ranks, it's just so fun

@@pralenkaman8105 It's funny how the game's short length was considered a huge negative back then, but now might be one of its greatest assets. It never overstays it's welcome.
As always, Armstrong is only in the game for 10 minutes, yet he takes up a larger percentage of the video than any other boss.
No, this is not a criticism, nor a complaint.
It may be 10 minutes but it’s a very memorable 10 minutes

The funniest part about this game is it only exists because everyone that plays MGS4 was like "That ninja chopping up the robot cows is cool"
The best thing about MGS4 was that we got this game because of it
Ngl, the whole reason I played the game was I saw things about the fact a dude in it had a sword that got yeeted out of its sheathe and my brain instantly went ‘yes’ and I bought the game the next day.
So I’m glad we got this beautiful gem. 😂
@@connor2500 you saw the jetstrream sam shitpost meme?
@@connor2500 "What if sword... but gun?"
And the Raiden is the protagonist is because fans hated that he was the protagonist in MGS 2, and instead of caving, Kojima studios took that as a challenge to make him the coolest mfer ever.
Game actually has a serious tone about war and strength when you look past the memes. Just too bad most people don't look past the memes.
Fr the songs that accompany every boss just adds to the message on god its so good

Armstrong is like the perfect final boss. Hes awesome, he steals the show and unless you actually learned the games mechanics you eat shit.
jup, I was stuck on him for a while. Didn't help that when I was good enough the Quick time event at the end was broken by a bug that made it impossible to actually do it in the given time due to a framerate bug.
I mean
Normal mode Armstrong wasn't that bad
Hard mode Armstrong then kicked my ass
Beat the guy a few hours ago without any extra lives on the first phase and YEAH.... he really tests your skills, if you have somehow cheesed the game even through Sam, Armstrong will be the most abrupt wake up call
@@pikariocraftf2802 i kicked armstrong's ass on hard mode, but VERY HARD mode i got fucked.
I have no idea how Kev got through the game without bothering to learn how to aim the blade mode. That caused problems for him during the boss fight with the guy that used the shields, which should have been a clue that there was a major game mechanic he was ignoring.
Fun fact: if you enter the Konami Code on the start screen of MGR:R you unlock every difficulty, including Revengence

-Kevduit, 2022 (47:07)
Just for an explanation. Monsoon is using the term "meme" in the proper, *educated* way. The internet definition is a glorified bastardization of "memetic device" which essentially is a trait passed along without the use of genes or genetics. They actually rhyme, funnily enough.
This game is so memorable because people associate "meme" with stupid internet jokes and that makes Monsoon simultaneously sound hilarious while also probably being smarter than most people on Twitter who listen to the cutscene out of context.
Memetics is a wacky field. The idea that concepts are subject to the natural forces of evolution just as much as living organisms are is a really intriguing thought. Concepts and ideologies change to better accommodate a wider audience, and people will adapt them to their culture, spreading the ideas further. However, the "memetic device" is an entirely fictional concept. There is not any type of object that forces an idea on you simply by observing it. In fact, I'm pretty sure memetic devices were conceptualized by the horror writers over on the SCP website. That would make sense as they also came up with the anti-meme, something that forces you to forget.
@@secularidiot9052 'Memetic Mutation' as TV Trope said.
every time kevduit didn't know what memes meant I had a convulsion
@@thisgoddamusernamestoodamnlong That's like 99% of people out there. You're gonna have lots of convulsions
@@Walamonga1313 The meming of memes is maybe the morst thing to happen to memes since memes
Kev while fighting the ant mech "This is such a good way to end the game!"
Me: "OH you haven't seen anything yet!"
All that but remembering the lines from Max0r's video and quoting every part Gianni made.
Proceeded by actually having to give up I felt that never made it past Armstrong myself
@@N3RD-13 "Don't fuck with this Senator!" You was one of the eggs he cracked while making the mother of all omelettes.
Seeing an authentic un-spoiled reaction to Armstrong is amazing, especially with how memed the game and him in particular have been. That shit was mindblowing back in 2013.
Yeah I remember I NEVER expected Armstrong to be an actual boss, from the moment I saw him I figured he would be some behind the scenes plotter that gets killed in one shot. xD
The reason he leaves such an impression on people is because of how much he subverts expectations. The fact he almost always humbles people with a proper ass whopping doesn't hurt either.
@@Wiseman108 another reason he leaves such an impression; you meet him face to face and he's immediately the best part of the game
*Memes, the DNA of the soul*
@@beloygamer5805 Wrong you are.
Armstrong is just doing another silly mgs exposition
Armstrong was built up in like 10 minutes for being the hardest boss to fight and then you actually fight him and he’s harder than what you thought he would be.
Fun facts:
1. 17:45 the best part is that those sombreros are , while actually used as an acessory at parties , these types of sombreros are also often sold to tourists who don't know any better
The idea of Raiden trying to "blend in" only to get absolutely SCAMMED is PRICELESS
2. Not only did Sam not have any cybernetic engancements aside from his arm, but its implied that his cybernetic arm was acrively hampering him as he just couldn't get used to it (unlike most of the bosses who have likely been cyborgs for years if not decades)
3. The symbolism of the final battle, while obvious, is pretty well done
Raiden spent the whole game cutting through everyone, dismantling their respective ideoligies
But when he gets to Armstrong, he's met with a metaphorical and literal brick wall
Its only when he adopts Sam's philosophy and incorporates a part of Armstrong's that he finally wins
What if the scammed tourist is the disguise?
@@Marky-Mark1337 I believe that in the customization screen it's said that Raiden bought it in a "misguided attempt to blend in".
I mean, Sam can only compete with Raiden because of his exoskeleton. He's definitely at a disadvantage with the arm but he's still leagues above his regular self without the suit.
He goes from beating a squad of gunman with a sword to beating Metal Gear Rays.
One way I heard about how Armstrong and raidens conversation go is “they are both wrong here”
When I find the video that does a better job of actually explaining that I’ll post it here
@@HistoryMonarch1999 thats the great thing about this game. its based on what the player believes too. some believe they are both correct, others believe only 1 is and the last group believes neither of them are. its how politics in games should be handled not "believe in what we want you to believe otherwise your a (insert whatever insult here)"
Bro. It disappoints me how many times I've watched someone just kill Sundowner still in his first phase. They never get to hear the lyrics for Red Sun.
He's such a walk in the park it sad
@@vectorshot3072 I had more trouble getting to his second phase then just killing him, I died so many times, then again the first.time I did try to reach second phase was on very hard with no health packs so one fu k up killed me but still
I didnt even knew he had a 2nd phase until i watched youtubers doing the fight . I thought that was how you were suppose to beat him because he kept blocking my attacks so i thought that i needed to attack him from behind.
@@andrei8p45 if you wait at the start of the fight he'll charge at you and you can parry it to go into a button mash to break away his shields for an easy shot at 2 of his shields instead of having to do the line-up slice.
@@vectorshot3072 That's the irony of his boss fight, he is not fucking invencible, actually pretty far from it
“I hope I dont have to fight him again”
That one monsoon clone fight 5 minutes later:
The Armstrong fight is actually a lot easier if you don’t try to rush it. You also have a lot of time to line up the swings for when he throws the giant rocks at you. Also health packs spawn when after you break a rock.
that's why he was easier than sam. that and I didn't know how to parry.
@@KeyboardTarantula Nobody knows how to parry their first play through.
@@frenchfriedbagel7035how do you not?
It’s-It’s literally covered in the tutorial!
@@Dementia_Springtrap Yeah, but even the tutorial doesn’t really do that great of a job.
@@frenchfriedbagel7035 I didn’t say it did it *well*, I just said it covered it..
Trust me, I understand it’s not done well, I’m just saying that if you’re an autistic adhd sugar fueled motherfucker like me, you’ll likely notice it immediately, execute it perfectly, then still manage to die.
For a game as silly as this, there's a lot of genuinely good writing in here
Like damn. Platinum didnt have to go this hard on a 'throwaway' spin-off game, but im sooo glad they did
I honestly think that makes the writing even better, when they can still make solid points even philosophically-wise but also being able to just make a totally fun game with witty and self aware writing. Most impressive thing is Raiden still feels like a "dark" character given his past but he doesnt even feel out of place in this game
Maybe Platinum heard 'throwaway' and was like, ""So, you mean we can do *_whatever we want?"_*
And for an explanation for "whatever we want" please see the rest of their repertoire lmao
@@_zealos_8213 Honestly, them being given ultimate freedom is genuinely a great thing
I wish it happened more often
@Josh Josh there is a difference tho. when people say dont put politics into games its because a game company only puts 1 side of the political isle in the game, then condemns the other and makes out their politics is the correct one even if it is flawed.
and im not on about obvious stuff like nazis on wolfenstein or terrorists blowing up people etc im on about stuff we actually argue on in real life and dont have clear right answers.
in mgr tho it takes 2 different sides of an argument both still based on a form of fiction and not something that would happen in real life (not to that extent at least) and humanises BOTH of them and doesnt make a clear winner as it is debated that armstrong actually had some points especially towards raidens attitude to killing for "justice" when really he gets a lot of pleasure from the actual act himself and is killing for his ideals but at the same time so are they. but raiden has a point because those who cant fight will perish in armstrongs world and wouldnt even stand a chance in the first place. but again armstrong makes the point that raiden went through the exact same thing and became stronger for it.
see how in just 1 small conversation if you really consider everything the game and its characters and songs are trying to present you can not only understand both arguments but people have sparked actual healthy debates about both sides and there are people who disagree with armstrong but appreciate his character and even like him or maybe better word is respect him and there are people who disagree with raiden but they again like him and respect him. its even the theme of the end battle that both characters have this mutual understanding and respect for each others principles and the fact they would die for them. its not about money or fame or power its about actually trying to change the world for what they believe is the best and they will give their own lives to achieve it.
but in most games as mentioned above its either "republicans bad and evil we are correct only us" or "democrats bad and evil we are correct only us" which is just pathetic and wrong and i dont like being forced to agree with something in a video game that is basing itself on real world events.
This is proof that Metal Gear can still be good without Kojima if the right people are involved.
MGR is the game that makes you think;
"Hey, quicktime events aren't so bad."
But on PC in Armstrong's fight you'll probably hate QTEs
@@hi_me69420 Nah his QTEs are pretty slow and predictable
@@mgrdmcfansthatdontplaytheg781 I don't believe that, when Armstrong was gonna jump on me I barely had a second to react.
@@hi_me69420 If you're far away from him after doing his aoe moves his gonna use his dash, for his debris throw you can just dodge it by going to the side
@@hi_me69420 Actually i had to switch from controller to m+k during that fight because i couldn't slice the debris he threw accurately with the controller and died every time from it
This is the first time I'm seeing some of these funny jokes, like the doctor telling you to "take a DOOMP" or the weird robot with hands having a classic USB moment when you're controlling it.
interesting how you predicted every part of the game except armstrong being jacked. They really did a good job making him seem like your standard villain at first
Metal Gear Rising will always stand as one of the best games ever made
I think you mean "one of the games ever made"
Absolute masterpiece. Playing this game on easy mode gave me such a joy. This and Nier: Automata give Platinum a special place in my heart ♥
So you smoke crack eh
@@sebastiansuazo2734 no he was right the first time

Well, Raiden losing his mind _is_ kind of the point. "Ripper Mode" is just Raiden's bloodlust from his child soldier days coming back out. He needs his pain receptors active for that.
I just maybe figured that maybe being a cyborg and having your body replaced with machines made you in constant pain.
@@burnedbyadragon5424 I'd doubt that tbh. He only has his artificial pain receptors and phantom pain should've be an issue either.

Zoinks scoob
wrong becuase raiden ain't a twink, he's a Vtuber. the difference is one is virtual...
I'd hardly call Raiden a twink, but otherwise fair
Man I remember loving this game and playing it to the point where I unlocked the wooden sword and then completing the game with the wooden sword. Absolutely hilarious when you enter sword mode only to hear "BONK BONK BONK BONK!" whenever you slap your enemies with the wooden blade
how do you unlock the wooden sword?
I recommend the Jetstream Sam and Bladewolf prequel DLC’s next, they really add to the story and characters of the main game, and while Bladewolf’s DLC is shorter, it does have an entirely new boss, with his own kick-ass theme.

"Metal Wolf Chaos[b] is a third-person shooter video game developed and published by FromSoftware. It was released for the Xbox exclusively in Japan in 2004. The player takes on the role of fictional President of the United States Michael Wilson piloting a mech to battle the rebelling military led by fictional Vice President Richard Hawk. Wilson's mech can be equipped with up to eight weapons selected from a set of over a hundred. In each mission, the player battles through destructible environments, destroying all enemies they come across. "

@@Lucas-yu4bu Yeah they used to make mostly Mech games actually (Armored Core).
I really like the part the 1st part when you meet jet stream Sam it plays his theme song without the lyrics but when you face him as a boss later it has the lyrics ,it goes to show that you really learned a lot more about the character
"Is there a dodge ability."
Yes, and funny enough (from what I've noticed), lot of players of this game don't even know about its existence. Mainly because it is hidden behind purshasable skill for your sword. If I recall correctly (it's been a long time since I played this), it is the very first skill to purchase. That skill will allow you to actually evade attacks and even get yourself on lot of Senator's attacks, which will also make him far easier to fight than just using parry and running/jumping like headless chicken to evade him.
The "gamer mouse" comparison is so damn accurate, lol.
I remember playing the demo for this back on ps3 and being amazed by it at the time.
I laughed))
I had RAT MMO7. The first thing my friend asked when he saw my mouse: "Is it Autobot or Decepticon?"
Unfortunately for sundowner you missed the music since you didn't activate his phase 2 (take out all the shields and he fights differently plus the music now has lyrics)
Poor Sundowner needed double his health pool, by the time you even get the chance to take down his shields he's at around 20%

Hello there

@@sneakythief298 thank you
Sounds like you need to play better games
Ok so some tips for the senator Armstrong fight. It's a test of skill, you need to not button mash, learn his attack pattern(which is always the same) and parry his attacks to do damage. When he starts healing you need to use blade mode to target him from behind. It's a test of all the skills you should have learned through the game(you didn't learn how to parry and aim blade mode properly because you brute forced the Sundowner fight)
He learned how to parry fine, see Monsoon, but yeah he never learned he can turn the camera
@@nickhoude21 from what it looks like he just keeps eating hits from excelcius and armstrong, especially the telegraphed flashing yellow unblockable attacks
Brute forced a bit more than that.
@@nickhoude21 you know what makes it even worse? he turned the camera using blade mode in the start when he was just mashing at the confused guy
Yeah Armstrong really is a knowledge/skill check. If you haven’t learned the games mechanics you’ll have a real bad time even on normal or hard, to say nothing about Revengeance difficulty
"My Y button will die, so that you will die, so that I will live!"
My new favorite quote ever from a video game playthrough.

I did the exact same thing. Played through everything before fine, but 1 and a half hours into Armstrong I had to start using it
What?
What is defensive defence??????????
@@APubescent13YearOldthe dodge button
NEVER underestimate the nanomachines, son
Friendly reminder: armstrong only used nanomachines to upgrade his defence, not attack. so when he was beat the the sh*t out of you, it wasnt becasue of nanomachines, it was thanks to collage ball
What?
No his nanomachines harden when attacking
@@citrus2570 he protected his hands when attacking. If he punched a sword, he would hurt himself like jetstream sam did it to him.
i mean, if i use a shield to bash your teeth in i still attacked you with a defence tool
@@citrus2570 that only makes his fists harder, he is still the one swinging them
"I'll have you guys know... I played the tutorial... ON HARD DIFFICULTY" had me rolling😂
"Haha! now that you don't have a sword you can't- oh..."
literally every single metal gear rising player
I remember playing this as a kid back in 2013 just out of high school and it’s surreal to see how there’s been a resurgence of this game at this specific moment in time. That’s not to say it doesn’t deserve it, it’s an amazing game, it’s just like “why now” as opposed to when it came out or any other time, yknow?
To quote Raiden, it's "the memes" - and they have been in the circulation for so long that I've lost track why that is so
It's become MUCH more apparent now in recent times that it was bavk in 2013
Crazy how the game so focused on memes became popular because of memes as per both the dictionary definition (as the game uses them) and internet memes.
A combination of a resurgence of Metal Gear Solid 2 (a lot of people are thinking back about it and considering it a philosophical masterpiece), Max0r's incorrect summary and real life events that made people realize this game knew what it's talking about
One word: is Max0r
Somehow, Kev found out how to parry before fighting monsoon but hasn't figured out how to turn the camera
I started to parry on blade wolf
Yea lmao i started to get more and more good parrying at moonson boss
@@joker_gaming-cg1vr each boss fight is also a proxy tutorial, because if you defeat them without using the tricks they teach you and if you don't attack the highlighted areas, you will not be able to defeat Armstrong.
Blade wolf: am i a joke to you?
I learned how to parry on fucking Armstrong
The ending of the video is really understandable, I played mgr on hard the whole day and it was like 1 am when I was fighting the senator, I had around 180 health and it was the most stressful thing of my whole life, I left it to the next day and managed it when I had 200 health, which does make a difference, and it was really satisfying
top 10 best threats in history: "I played the tutorial, in hard mode"
Dude if a game is almost a decade old and ppl still make memes about it.....then u got a gem in your hands. Srly tho the game has some of the best osts and boss fights in gaming.
The studio who made this game is awfully good in music and game mechanics.
Fascinating how it managed to keep its meme alive by transmitting its self via memes, so that's neat to say the least
@@kuze1930Monsoon was right, memes *are* the DNA of soul!
the best part is the music is scripted to play when actions are made in the fight like how rules of nature always is said when riden catches ray's blade, also the music is made by the toon town online composer.
@@thundergaming155..........you're joking...... right?
>Game literally tells you where to cut
>Doesn't cut Sundowner's shields to trigger phase 2
I am disappointed but not surprised
A lot of people didn’t know about Sundowner’s phase 2
I only realized when i noticed there wasn’t any lyrics
@@voidarch4414 another reason this soundtrack is awesome: subtle details like that
honestly impressed by how many times he got the parry on mistral and didn't realize he had to aim for the blue part of her polearm
This isn’t a game, this is a experience.
One of my favorite games of all time the fact we haven't got a sequel to this game is a literal crime. I remember that Monsoon fight in particular being a giant pain in the ass.
a sequel would be terrible
So glad to see your channel thriving you’re very energetic
20:08 in fact: you can. The entire game except bosses is playable without being spottet once, just oneshotting enemies from behind and above
Up until I stopped playing because my HDD died, these fricking monke bots were my nemesis, no other enemy gave my such a hardtime (other than the shield transformer you face later in the mission, but that was only one prime specimen of that line, the others were somewhat easy), I stopped before I even fought the bosses clones before Sundowner.
Not even watched this yet but I already know this is gonna be an absolute banger of a video! Metal Gear Rising is EXCELLENT!
"Making the mother of all omelets here Jack! Can't fret over every egg!"
With the amazing music and cues during the boss fights, I'm surprised Kev didn't pick up on the music literally losing its lyrics when Sam loses his sword and they return when he picks it up again
senator armstrong is a boss that requires blade mode:
when he heals.
when throws.
then you get the hell away from him when he starts up an attack and then attack, also parry as much as possible, parry like your life depends on it.
Maybe button mashing your way through hard mode wasn't the right approach to a combo slasher game, where you can in fact no hit every boss
The fact that it took Kevin half the game to learn how to aim his slice baffles me
This game 100% makes you feel like a complete badass
To pass Armstrong I put on the medical armor, because it gives you 10 electrolyte replenisher with helps with the health problem, you used it throughout the hole game so just use it again (you can equip it in the menu)
I loved the armstrong fight. You don't unlock the sword you use until beating him so it's a level one sword. So it's a battle of skill, i never leveled that sword so i can always come back to the fight with the same experience.
"What is this tutorial gonna teach me"
And then the failed automatic parkour.
Just chefs kiss
When monsoon talks about "memes", he's referring to the technical definition; concepts that spread through social interaction.
29:10 I like how he was genuinely confused on if he should take out the sword
You got to love Metal Gear Rising, it's such a timeless game.
With or without knowledge of the Metal Gear franchise, the game is just great. Although having some idea what happened before does make the game even better.
The game is so edgy that it breaks the scale and becomes cool again!
I'm 21 years old, I just picked up this game for the 1st time on my steam deck and holy hell this is fun!!!
This game and doom are my most favorite games of all time.
I'm glad to see that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is undergoing a Metal Gear Rising Resurgence of popularity. Our memes _do not_ end here, and I'm happy to see more people today start playing it, if only to see their reactions to one of the greatest "hey wait a minute" moments from this 2013 game 45:38
And yes, before you "Um actually" me, I'm aware that phrase existed during the time of Reagan, if not from the time of Alexander Wiley. No one is going to be thinking of those people.
Ya that Armstrong fight is my favorite but damn that final stage is a pain! I had to restart the level to get to that stage with more health packs (checkpoint saves number of health packs) and look up walk-through. Would recommend easy difficulty the first time.
I played normal the first time
for those who havent played or seen the jetstream sam dlc, that motorcycle he stole is actually sam's
"I don't know what i'm going." -At the 2nd to last boss.
That did not bode well.
Armstrong is very hard, but basically you're meant to perfect your skills before getting to him. He uses all the mechanics. He is also the best character.
objectively wrong. all the bosses are perfect and best characters. we got insane cyborg ninja, Markiplier, an e-girl, The nintendo virtual boy, jacked bezos, and most sane american politician. oh, and "what the dog doin?"
When the game first game out I was sadly one of those MGS fans that dismissed it because of how different it was but a few years later I picked it up and to this day its easily one of my favorite games of all time. It's just pure fun, and the sound track is so stupidly good! Also, easily some of my favorite boss fights in gaming, just so freaking good overall and the DLC is totally worth!! It be awesome if you made a vid playing the DLCs!
Near an hour long and still had to cut out so much awesome content, I love this game
if you ever decide to try armstrong again, you should go back to previous levels and use your scan to find as many crates as possible. Some of them permanantly increase your hp, so that's helpful. Good content btw
This is one of my favorite games. It just feels like it's trying to be completely serious while still being completely absurd. Also Jetstream Sam.
love that u added also jetstream sam like he's above everthing which he is
Basically every Metal Gear game.
Weirdly enough imo it manages to have self aware goofy writing genuinely cool lines and some actual deep writing concerning morality and the benefits of war and when they talk about memes they mean information genetically passed down from bloodline and spread its a pretty complicated term that im not smart enough to give the actual textbook definition of but it makes some of the commentary actually interesting
@@swuq5396 A lot of the games in the series talk about these kind of memes. It’s a recurring theme.
Jetstream Sam is the most realistic aspect of this game and still absurdly cool
It hurts me when nowadays whenever someone hears of "memes" they instantly assume Amogus or Facebook Minion images. Also Offensive Defense (X+A) is critical in the Armstrong fights, gives invulnerability frames on the dodge I saw it used once at 26:03 but apparently it was a button mash fluke. I went the whole game until the Armstrong fight without buying it and felt like an absolute moron for it.
Ah yeah for comboing the harder to kill enemies like the UGs offensive defense is great to get to the point where you can stun then execute them.
For bosses it depends. I love using it on Sams Iai slashes but otherwise it's a case by case thing.
Don’t feel bad I had it the whole time but didn’t use it until Armstrong,on the Sam dlc
I’m genuinely impressed on how he didn’t even rage once during the final boss fight
I was just vibing to the music from the last part of the fight against Armstrong 🤣
I know why MGR has been everywhere. someone summarized the story incorrectly, and as these things go, you get a lot of people crawling out of the woodwork to correct him
Ah a fellow John doom fan aka Maxor
A lot of people try to summarize the lore for a Metal Gear game. They are bound to be corrected.
Funny how kev accidentally repeated maxor's gamer mouse and gatorade jokes
Edit:he repeated more than that. I would have said that maxor used his footage if this video came out before the incorrect summary
@@user-nd4du4tq3t The fact that kev went un spoiled in the story and still made the same jokes, makes Max0r's incorrect summary; more accurate.
@@mirageknight8070 how the fuck did that happen?
I’m not even 2 minutes in and its very awesome, love the content kev. Keep up the banger content man
when raiden says your bad shimata insaine at 46:17 and when armstrong looks at him i always see that huh meme when ever he does it hallarious
You have become my new favourite action game lets player. Your commentary is hilarious!
There is a dodge ability, but you have to buy it. And it's a must buy, it gives you invincible frames
Edit: Okay he actually bought it later lmao
Edit2: Welp, he never used it in the senator fight anyway. RIP.
If I had a nickel for every time someone referred to Raidens body as a Gamer Mouse, I'd have two nickels...
Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
Or referred to the enemies life force as gatorade, or spinning when the elevator was falling
Or referred to Mistral as a twitch streamer
All of these are strangely common
Well it was in Max0r video about Metal Gear Rising.
i'd love to see you come back to this in the future and beat Armstrong.
I know this was like a year ago, but a few tips from someone who had a similar bad time with the senator Armstrong fight.
1. That green glow is him healing, you need to get behind him, use blade mode, then aim and slash the glowing spot on his back before he heals up.
2. At the part where he's throwing those huge chunks of ground, once he gets up there immediately and I mean IMMEDIATELY run under his cliff as fast as you can your last attempt you tried doing that but you didn't quite make it under him in time.
That is all, oh wait one more thing
3. All his busting the ground attacks have similar animations but they have different timing, short one is the fast ground split attack that follows you, best way to not get hit is to run slightly diagonally towards the other side of Armstrong if you from afar. The longer one is that slow ground split that encircles you slowly and after it's finished Armstrong usually follows with a charging grab (which you can't parry) or with one short ground pounder, best way to not get hit is to get out of the circle before it's complete and attack Armstrong, because he doesn't move until the circle is done or until you attack him.
Sincerely - someone who needed a guide to find out tip #2 but did most of the other stuff through trail and error and still never found out how to use the dogde skill until they beat the entire game and it's DLC
Kev:"I'm gonna parry you so hard it's gonna be embarrassing."
Sam:"for you that is."
You’re right that back in 2013 MGR was overshadowed a lot by the games that you mentioned. It had criticisms back then due to massive shift from the usual Tactical Espionage Action from the previous MGS games but this game is ridiculously fun. I’m glad that this game is now getting attention and love 9 years later but the memes from this game is eternal.
32:00 this dialogue bit "Stop! Stop it!" means he actually did good against monsoon. very neat.
Part two pls with the Jetstream Sam dlc
This video allowed me to relieve my emotions from when i was playing the game for the first time
I love this game so much, great video too
hey thank you!
