Metal Gear Rising is unlike ANYTHING I've ever played 

Classic RU-vid moment

Moo

Ye

700k very well deserved! Keep it up man!

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:

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.

If I was on his shoes, I would do it too tbh

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.

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

@@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.

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.

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.

When the thing you really need to be afraid of is the thing _driving_ the three-story-tall murderbot

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

Adventure Time Rising

He used to be a Twink until he became a cool cyborg ninja and then in the first mission of rising he is a cyborg Twink and then goes to an edgy cyborg ninja

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

I miss legit cheat codes in games

remember games having their own funny cheats or gameshark. the og mods

@@aidanrhode1977 Me too, paying for cheats is ridiculous nowadays

Thank you, I literally downloaded this game because of this video and his playthru looked easy lol. I seen your comment right after booting it up! Revengence it is!

Real gamers play the game 3 times in order to unlock the difficulties

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

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

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)"

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.

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.

perhaps

YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER! GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS! MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/NO PRIEST/NO SAINT/NO ANCESTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, MARY DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE gods DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO MUSICIAN OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO INFLUENCER OR RU-vid STAR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO SCIENTIST OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR ACTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS! STOP WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE! JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU! Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33 “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23

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

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.

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!

Or referred to Mistral as a twitch streamer

All of these are strangely common

Well it was in Max0r video about Metal Gear Rising.

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

love that u added also jetstream sam like he's above everthing which he is

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
