Like i said Jack, Kids are cruel and i love minors.

@@wowalamoiz9489 Mistral has the same complaint about Bladewolf in the dlc. She thinks he's too efficient, no cruelty, no bloodlust. So yeah, Sundowner probably wasn't lying.

*THE MEMES*

@@tezbertzero1915 the DNA of the souls

x to doubt

Honestly, I was expecting that to take a sin off. How often does a video game reference actual Meme Theory?

After the loss of eye and the next mission Doktor was unable to make a good eye for raiden.In a codec call with doktor it was mentioned that a normal eye if put on raiden wouldn't give him any more upgrade to his perception and that eye cloth has cameras fitted with them giving him about 200 mega pixels of vision in that area. Also raiden found that cool. This was why that eye cloth was used.

When was that?

@@andrewcabral963 you need to make a codec call to Doktor between the new body upgrade and the battle with bladewolf, but you need to make several calls for that to happen. So yeah, the patch he is using is a compound eye, as they couldn't make a new one that could surpass what it offered on time.

funny thing is, the body raiden used at the start was a much more inferior version compared to what he has the rest of the game. his starting body is actually for ''body guard'' and ''humane'' jobs. the body he has at the start isn't much different from the one he had in mgs4. both were very limited in terms of battlefield combat.

@@EfecanYSL Yeah logically speaking Raiden was taken down by a boat in MGS4

@@durema9720 and survived.

@@NotASpyPootis By losing his arm and being put in weakened state that even single frog squad could take him. Luckily they where to stupid and decided to fight a cyborg based on melee with melee weapon. Genius!

@@durema9720 "boat" it was an Arsenal Gear. That thing is huge.

Yep I am aware of this fact

Ok so I’m not an expert at the oil refinery process, but I feel like it used either for cooling the equipment or for the nitrogen itself (liquid nitrogen is way denser than gaseous nitrogen). Am I fairly right or terribly wrong in this situation?

@@warlynx5644 you could use it to "flash freeze" a petroleum derivative, because the refinery got several huge constantly heating stacks water isn't viable at all (like not even in your dreams not viable)

What?

Huh. I always wondered what Liquid Nitrogen's used for, so I learned something today.

The thing is sundowner even mentions this on the train

"I'm fucking invincible!"

@@silksongoutyet Silksong comes out in 6 years.

@@crunchypudding.9221 Really? That seems way too soon

yeah...about that

These are things they need to explain, however it's an action game, I can appreciate the fact that its optinional as it doesnt bog down the pacing, if u wanna learn more, watch the codec, if u wanna slice enemies, keep playing. It's for the best imo

it's like over 6 hours of codec calls. I listened to those in the main menu for like a couple hours and I didn't even notice how long I was intently listening

I know the original MGS games are built around stealth but I really enjoy calling people whenever I can just to get extra info on the world and who the characters are. Rising literally has a Codec call with Kevin explaining in detail how Richard Dawkins idea of Memes work and I love it

Yeah, also how Raiden actually has his both eyes working, or how could Sam make Raiden hear the police officer's thoughts. A lot of sins of this video are explained by the CODEC calls.

@@ellagage1256 terrible pfp

He should remove 19 from the cutscenes with Armstrong, 20 for the boss fight itself, and 30 for "It Has to be This Way".

Just remove 30 sins for the epic soundtrack of this game

What does this have to do with metal gear solid tho other than raiden and ninja?

@@DrJellyFanguzzz They metal gears, RADN and reference to other characters of the series

@@thememeguy2195 agreed. “It Has to be This Way” is one of the greatest final boss themes I’ve ever heard.

Also Sundowner literally said that he was impressed by how Raiden turned out to be, and decided to use the same methods on kids to basically make himself an army of unstoppable killers. However, since having so many child soldiers run so many missions on real people would be impossible (and extremely expensive), he just cased the brains and bought each one an Oculus Rift with Killzone included for christmas.

They can control the brain and transfer thoughts, it isnt a stretch to believe that they can simply insert those experiences into their existing soldiers.

children do not tend to be more imaginative than adults. they just dont know what stupid is yet. you ever listen to a 5 year old tell a stroy?

@Letener Terim Not at all, his VR training only began after he joined Fox Hound. He had been an actual child-soldier in his actual childhood with a notoriously high kill-count using a combat knife.

@@Alexander59059 And who's to say they will be able to adapt to those new experiences? That's why the capacity of learning that kids have is necessary

Also dok

SO WHAT'S THE POINT OF IT?

@@jakejohnson718 Cause it looks cool

@@jakejohnson718 FOR THE LORE

@@IPromiseTomorrow for the MEMES

MrAdamFC Guess you could say it was an eye for an eye.

Aubrey Kosch Haa

Kidney sold! like literally

Nope just arm and an eye.

MrAdamFC no an eye and an arm.

He does mention also childrens natural cruelty and sociopathy.

And that program that they're putting all the child brains through is essentially like a recreation of the Big Shell incident. During MGS2, they made Raiden into a great soldier by just putting him through the same situation as Snake went through in MGS1. But, since that was way too expensive, the Patriots digitized the whole thing to create a ton of super soldiers at a fraction of the cost.

That's true, but very much of Raiden's skill was acquired through his child soldier days. He killed a shit load of people, leading to a most badass nickname; "Jack The Ripper".

That's the actual, original meaning of the whole Meme business. Raiden's story in sons of liberty was basically an attempt to transfer Snake's badassery memetically to other soldiers, and this game's kids are like the first legit line in prod. after raiden's Prototype.

Plus, child minds are way easier to adapt to combat or any other activity, just like childs who practice piano or any other instrument since toddlers

Damn the patriots

Meanwhile Snake just has a knowing smile on his face.

Snake: Hmph...He’s pretty good.

Liquid:Oh fuck I gotta run before Raiden comes

Fun fact: snake is canonically a sword at the time of this game

@@jar-of-bees And you take that from where?

bleeduntildeath That wasn't revenge. Raiden grows a certain respect for Sam and vice versa. Raiden doesn't go after Sam, he goes after Armstrong. Sam's the one that really gets revenge. He was conspiring against Armstrong and finally got his opportunity with Raiden. Why do you think he didn't kill raiden? Why do you think he gave Raiden his sword? He was helping Raiden the whole time and the fight was testing if Raiden really could bear Armstrong like Sam couldn't do.

Raiden still paying Sam back for fucking up his eye and arm even though there was mutual respect still falls under the definition of revenge

I assumed the revenge and vengenace part was Raiden getting back at them for the child soldier brains bullshit, being a child soldier himself and all. He would have a soft spot for what they're going through or have been through.

Right before they fought Raiden said "I've got cause enough for killing you".

@Dragon Of Fucking Dojima I know this comment is really old by this point but, Revengeance technically isn't a real english word but it have been used in the past. It basically a very stupid way of saying "Use violence to obtain peace." Basically this game is the very embodiment of using violence in every way to achieve peace LOL Granted other games do the same thing but MGR is in your face about it.

you can pretty much bonk the soul out of everyone with the wooden sword

@@lucky6961 or go the fucked route and just reduce them to living martial arts dummies by chopping off their limbs and leaving them to roll around on the floor while still swearing they'll kill you

U can cut the enemy leg at first mission and then run past the second horde of enemy

That settles it. Raiden is made of Gundanium.

I'm proud of you

So lewd :

Infinitydev 2020 I mean we also have genji

Automata's real fucking boring...

Very relevant comment

*Standing here, I realize

Another example is "I carve my own path you follow your wrath but maybe we are the same

I personally believe that It has to be this way is more related to Raiden and Sam, rather than Raiden and Armstrong because of a few lines "I carved my own path, you followed your wrath" - Reference to how Sam wanted blood and revenge against the cartels and big companies who send their people to die. (Better explained in the DLC) "Yet staring across this barren wasted land" - Talks about how they are in the Denver badlands together, staring each other down before the fight. "I feel new life will be born beneath the blood stained sand" - Again talking about the badlands, but also how Raiden will find new purpose after Sam died, one in which to preserve Sam's legacy.

its not really the cliche tho. they arent saying theyre the same so they should team up, the song is saying that what they do is the same, neither is more right than the other, and thats exactly why they fight. they understand eachother, but that doesnt make them friends

@@trueaquarius9487 Me when that’s totally wrong because Armstrong literally says the lyric “you carved your own path” nearly word for word

check out fallen order

@@caiseric fallen order doesn't leave marks on human enemies

@@bevjoejoe Nor does it dismember enemies.

If I recall the last games to have lightsabers cutting up biological foes were The Force Unleashed 2, and before that, the Revenge of the Sith PS2 game. Of course, Disney wouldn’t want a game where lightsabers work like they’re meant to.

besides Japanese stuff recruiting guys trying to kill you is something the French Foreign Legion does all the time, especially in former French Africa

Sundowner says the same in english, just less directly. "Throwing someone a bone" is an idiom that can mean to give somebody a chance, i.e. to prove themselves, so that is also perfecly clear. There's plenty of talk about Bladewolf's freedom and gratitude in the english translation too. The translator in the west works perfectly fine. The only thing getting butchered is the Japanese tendency to repeat the obvious five times in a row and creating stilted dialogue that only serves for exposition, lol.

this game was clearly intended to be played in english though? the japanese version also has censoring and that sucks

@@alexalcalaortiz368 You're talking about the blood from enemies, right?

@@ditto7047 that and some cutscenes have different angles

That was Jetstream Sam DLC tho(he was talking about the guy who introduced that Japanese garden into the World Marshall building)

In that case we are sinning these scenes for the fact such not insignificant character details are locked behind a dlc paywall. Problem solved :)

Umm, both of those DLC are free, so...

Woops my bad. I knew that the VR missions were payed DLC so i thought the rest was too. Let's make it a sin for putting important character background in DLC missions instead of the main game.

As to the HOW, Raiden takes blueprints for everything he destroys. It would be easy to make a new Bladewolf if Raiden got all the data from the original.

@@tomfranck8821 Actually he explains it in the main game during his pre-fight monologue, the DLC just expands upon it by showing what he was talking about.

Why cyborg weakness is stun batons? I wonder...

@@hisshiningtears well, you know, EMPing your limb and make you disabled

Not to mention bullets don't do shit to him to begin with.

@@hisshiningtears Because it's high frequency like the swords they use

So those batons are like the ones that the Combine from HL2 use?

Yeah, since they are using HF blades, a locked blade would not vibrate at high frequency to actually be that sharp

Yeah the blade doesn’t wiggle if it’s not used by a Rodrigues

Tibor Klein actually it's a Reagan line.

Yes, I'm aware.

Trump has great command of memes

Behind you Yes, IT'S FUCKING CYBORG NINJAS BATTLING IT OUT FFS WHAY DO YOU EXPECT MAN! IT'S THE RULES OF NATURE!

122 sins is a bit generous for a Kojima game.

Don't you mean konami?

Nah, I meant Kojima game. Konami's pretty alright.

TheFakeReflection konami's alright? You do realise Konami is the company that has a reputation for screwing people over...

None of these games are nearly as deep as anyone wants to believe, they just pull twists out of their ass to make it seem that way.

SASMarine Can’t just let him comment a good thing about a game he likes, eh ?

SASMarine well that was wrong.

@@sayyytttan Sadly it's not - The plots of the games are riddled with holes, the villains for the most part behaving idiotic and actively acting against their plans (MGS1 and 4 are especially guilty of this) only to have great twists at the end, that upon retrospect barely make sense: The FOXHOUND unit fought Snake for their own respective reasons each in MGS1 and tried killing him, despite Liquid requiring the cards and respective info on how to use it in order to even make REX launch ready while Liquid Ocelot in MGS4 basically went on the same trope - going against snake in every possible opportunity to then achieve the ultimate goal in the end not by each piece falling in line like planned in a grand scheme, but by sheer, dumb luck. MGS2 suffered from basically throwing a bunch of existential questions onto the player at the end without ever truly resolving them in the game. It had great predictions (flood of information) that were on point, but that doesn't make a game deep - only lucky with its story beats. Throwing a bunch of questions in the air, waving your hands around, leaving things open for interpretation going "what does it all mean?" while only giving a basic resolution that teenagers can conclude isn't giving your game depth in story or meaning, but makes it appear deeper than it actually is.

Metal Gear Solid 2 was the first occurrence of the “we live in a society” plot

His point is that they are going for imagery more than logic which is certainly true of many things in this game. The DOOMP joke was obviously a poop joke even though it was explained to be something else with techno babble.

Like, the a DOOMP sounded like a dump.

technically he still has his eye it just has a fucking cut all the way through it

LOOOOOOOL you're right! Your comment is severely lacking the proper upvotes.

They're both there with the sole purpose of looking cool, and therefore can be sinned I think.

Buuuut the fact that you need to go into a menu at the right time and place is a sin in of itself.

Tsunfish Exposition *ding*

Thats what happens when u let a dumb piece of shit nitpick when he himselfs knows nothing

The stereotypical attire is the “problem”, like someone going to disguise in Brazil and wearing a soccer attire, or going to the US and wearing an american flag with a bald eagle helmet. All this cases would be ridiculous

@@pedrorenault5335 To those who look at someone foreign paying the slightest respect to the host nation's culture over their own while in a foreign land as disrespectful, sure I suppose so.

@@gravynolastname3786 This game ain't forgettable in the slightest. One of the best Platinum games, and a very, very quotable game.

@@gravynolastname3786 you fight a republican senator on a giant war machine, as he body slams you as he talks politics. I'm sorry who's forgetting the combination of words i just said?!

@@jamalhartley5863 Armstrong isn't quite Republican or Democrat. His tie is neither red nor blue; it's yellow. Interesting thing I've noticed is that in the Prologue, Raiden also wears a yellow tie with his suit.

For good reason, it´s one of the best action games of ALL time

Because its better... The game is amazing

Maybe because this game is finished.

It’s a game about memes, what did you expect

...The Memes

I want him... GAY

Oh my.......

I needed that today

Merry Meme-y Christmas I guess. XD

2:31- 2:38 it gets better

Actually, it's for the high frequency functionality of the blade. Without HF it's just a regular sword, which is pretty useless against highly armoured cyborgs and metal gears.

You're pretty good ..

Microwaving mice is wrong they say

Over 20 if you played on European Extreme.

21 is more than 6

Toby Miller how the fuck do u get past the choking part before Liquid awakens the last time, I always die but can do every other part on that difficulty with ease.

The RAYs in Arsenal Gear were production model escorts. Basically cannon fodder to protect Arsenal Gear.

and this RAY is also AI piloted and a mass-produced model, similar to the GECKOs.

A bored dude same here, I really liked the Mexican costumes in both mgr and Mario odyssey

@@jjtheenton i know this comment is 3 years old, but "its just a joke" isnt a criticism deflector.

Possibly also a nod to the Foxengine Tech Demo version of the game which included player-controlled wall-running which was cut by Platinum because it didn't work on the Cryoengine. Environmental destruction was also a big part of the Foxengine Demo which was scaled back by Platinum.

Raiden takanawa so explain this to me. the games and live action movies all are filled with ridiculous bullshit and they get shit on but when the 3 CG movies and do the same exact fucking thing no one bats an eyelash. what I'm asking is, how do you live with yourselves being just as hypocritical as politicians?

557deadpool never watched them. ignorance doesn't equal hypocrisy. And maybe there are plenty of people who share your opinion here? Maybe they just aren't as vocal.

Raiden takanawa I failed that sequence twice because I couldn't stop laughing. "Wait, he's already putting his weight into it. Legs are typically stronger than arms but even that's a moot point. To punch it, you have to stop pushing for a second. but if I stop pushing for a second I die. WHAT IS HAPPENING? !"

You punch ONE boulder at the end for the game and people act like that's all the game is about.

>_> Have you played Resident Evil 6 on the chris and the other guy that totally bullshits that campaigns ending?

John Chi maybe he's avenging the Prime Minister?

from what I have gathered "revengeance" is an old French word (15th century).

Getting revenge on the guy that cut his arm off and nearly killed him.....

nit to mention cutting Raiden's eye

I mean technically he takes vengeance on Sam, but it's never really emphasized. It's there, but that's not what the story is *about*. Still a cool ass title, though.

It has been on my steam wishlist for a while.

It's one of my favourite games of all time. It's not perfect but you can be 100% sure to have a fun time and an amazing ride!

I got this as a ps+ game and enjoyed it

i need to buy a 360 controller for my pc, because this types of game aren't really build for a keyboard and/or mouse combination.

Tomason Alexander Producciones if you need a cheap controller you can buy a rock candy controller for 25 dollars or try and find one Amazon

The Black Baron That was the main reason why I love Raiden ! When he popped up in MGS4 with his new body and saw those HEELS!!!! Had a Lady Boner for him ever since!

The Black Baron and dat guyliner....he was looking fine in this game ;)

I'd say it was so that his new legs, which give greater striding speed, wouldn't be hindered with the balance problems of digitigrade legs....plus if you kick someone right with those the heel would just go into them at the speed in which Raiden kicks. So ether it is part of a stabilizer or something for his legs that can also be used to stab people or he got it simply to stab people when he kicks them.

@@dragonmanfirebane5078 also, the little space are made so he can grab the HF Katana with his feet. while playing you can actually see in the animations that he throws the sword into the air, then grabs it with his foot with a kick

Chief Mendez The other eye is "Real". Raiden doesn't want to change out any "Real" body parts or organs.

They didn’t want to reference Neir Automata

If everyone in the game says it they eventually find one where its actually true. :D

@@emetanti In this case everyone in the game is designed to reflect on a part of Raiden's personality so it works

You were not disappointed

That fakin Profile pic of Hanzo cosplaying Widow maker is glorious but... Please Hanzo switch.

Close. It was for Konahahahahahaha.

he also wants to take revenge from desperado for forcing kids into vr training to make them killers. if you talk with boris after monsoon fight right talks about how he needs to avenge his old friends that died in liberia when he was a kid. desperado isn't the people responsible for it but the methods are the same.

Not to mention sam also CUT OFF HIS FUCKING ARM

@@baldcharacter5288 eh, thats the least of his worries. It wasnt an organic arm anyways

You seem to forget that this guy is nitpicking at a lot of details that are explained in the game

If you think about it, it’s Sam’s revenge as well, if you play his DLC, you’ll understand.

Vinny Pizzapasta has a way with words.

Yep... at least for now nobody in the MGS universe is getting more big boss than that

Deinzu or solid snake spirt wooden sword

Agreee

They did remove one at 1:30

Mad Bro Sheo can't believe #Dartigan didn't mention that Armstrong doesn't look like a roided Stephen Cobert (I know I misspelled).

Undead Parry Spammer I am Memesoon, the Memes of destruction.

Blade mode is overpowered and turns just about every non-boss enemy into an annoying errand not even the music is able to salvage. Also the combat system, while awesome, doesn't hold a candle to Devil may Cry 3 or 4.

Chris Blade Mode is in no way overpowered. Yes, you can easily dispatch the weakest enemies, but armoured enemies are ever-present from halfway through the second level onwards. And saying one game is bad, or lesser, because it isn't exactly like another combat system that is subjectively more enjoyable isn't criticism.

Here my nit-pick with the game, it's to short, to linear, most of the stages blend in or look plain with a few exceptions (that VIP room is awesome but short ☹), blocking is way to easy to do and breaks the game once you notice it, and the story is rushed.

Pandoras Angel The game itself is great, but I agree that the level design is extremely obnoxious and linear. This, though, is s reccuring problem at platinum

My one and only real problem with it other than being too short and feeling too rushed and cramped is, it's a metal gear game with a basically non existent stealth system... Although you're using a sword... It somehow manages to make it louder for the whole game
