Metal Gear Rising Revengeance: A Stupid Masterpiece 

man youtube sucks

This is such a RU-vid moment right here. RU-vid is really a RU-vid Company

Would you need to delete it forever? Im sorry Im not knowledgeable in youtube

RU-vid needs to get it act together, this is just utterly ridiculous!

why would age restriction mean it'd have to be deleted?

it's like that Deltarune joke, "But Even If You Deplete The Hit Points (Of My: Chair)"

Nah, his shirt is actually an inhibitor for his fire powers, whilst his glasses inhibit his health.

@@minecraftsteve5201 yeah, but they also enhance his speed. that's why he has 100 health in sam's dlc and is a pain in the arse to fight.

And white blood goes back to MGS4. Raiden had white blood in it

Who looks at white blood and thinks hmmm yes this is a good idea. Why not black or blue or green or literally any other color other than white or yellow or brown.

@@MrAw3sum Because MGS4 had no colour. It was the best they could do.

@@kaiserredpanda2101Well yeah, Raiden was insulting Armstrong with the suggestion that he played football at an Ivy League school (which wouldn’t be known for good football players, and would also be known for “elite” society members) and Armstrong retorts that he played at University of Texas, making it clear that his college of choice wasn’t the typical kind of institution for politicians to learn at, in order to show Raiden how he doesn’t think like a typical politician and just wants to burn the country down and restart it from the beginning instead of perpetuating its state and getting rich from the top of the pile.

⁠@@emblemblade9245umm… Armstrong himself says “Played college ball at some cushy Ivy League school.”

@@leithaziz2716 I feel like Yakuza would extra confuse him if he plays the ones that are Japanese only because then he'll also have to read all the subtitles to get what's going on

@@taco8951 "if he plays the ones that are Japanese only" which is 90% of the franchise, only Yakuza 7, 8 and Gaiden have English voiceover (and both Judgment games) - 3 games out of 10 (5 out of 12 when you count Judgment & Lost Judgment) there's also the recently remade Samurai Spin-off Like a Dragon: Ishin! which also has only Japanese voice acting

To be frank, everyone I've seen stream Rising bruteforces the Sundowner fight. It's like a trend with how his fight is handled

​@@leithaziz2716 A shame, considering how easy his fight is.

@@DragDenDFO I kept dying because my controller's stick was unprecise with aiming, so I kept losing from not slicing the boulders during the QTE.

And Raiden is Liberian​@@PlayMadness

even if they did, I doubt Dan noticed in chat

Dan said in the vod he already knew, but it's still hard to take seriously given the common usage.

I'm pretty sure RT is an English major, so he definitely knew about the original definition of meme. However, it's much funnier to assume they're talking about dumb internet jokes.

Funnily enough, the current use of meme is still correct. The game describes memes as "the DNA of the soul" (which is the iconic like everyone remembers) and also things handed down through a culture, rather than handed down through genetics. In a way, the internet jokes we have today are very much the DNA of our modern culture. Most people I know, at least, get their latest news by way of seeing a meme before they see the headline. They see a meme about a game, look into it and share it with others for better or for worse (both the meme itself and what it's referring to). TLDR: in a roundabout way, MGR is using the correct definition of meme as it pertains to its original definition AND it's modern connotation. Truly ahead of its time.

I really love that because Internet memes are basically like ideas that float around and also constitute cultural identity, Internet memes are the purest form of Richard Dawkins’s memes.

Nice argument you got there. Why don't you back it up with a source?

​@@DracoGalboyMY SOURCE IS THAT I MADE IT THE FUCK UP

Now just a quick clarification, are we talking "funny internet haha" memes or "DNA of the soul" memes?

Yes ​@@ninjapotatolorf6237

@@ninjapotatolorf6237 ....both.....

MGR just leans into it unambiguously and shamelessly, and that's a huge part of why it's so loved. And it's all scored to some of the most fire music ever made by the guy who composed music for fucking Toontown. This game does not give a *single* fuck.

Alright toontown composer, its a cyborg ninja game, no need to do any... *SPITS FIRE*

@@Palgineer 💐👑 Some heroes don't wear exoskeletons.

Hell the idea of 'genes vs memes' is kind of a core concept to metal gear

Specifically, the term 'meme' was invented in 1976 by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins

For more info, read Hideo Kojima’s book, The Creative Gene

A common example of a meme in the traditional sense is the idea of standing in a queue. Were it not for that shared concept, any process that involved multiple people having to wait for something would result in the physically strongest people bullying their way to the front. Since the meme of the "queue" has achieved widespread adoption, those processes are handled in a much more civilised fashion (most of the time at least).

Read a old text about memetics for class, made the whole meme thing make sense

I don't think the writer for Rising is made clear, but Kojima did oversee the project, so he had clear involvement.

​@@leithaziz2716 Oversee in a technical sense, but had minimal oversight ability, from my understanding of things. Elsewise we'd have seen more of this in 5, death stranding, and such if this had been his brainchild. Not full-blown, but elements -- and there are effectively little to none. Pattern recognition points to it not being a Kojima decision, then.

@@Thiccubus The final boss in MGSV isn't exactly "reserved" is all I'll say without spoilers. So take that how you will. But yes, Platinum games are known for being bombastic action games. Some of the team are Ex Capcom employees who worked on Itsuno's Devil May Cry series. And you can see the inspiration here.

@@leithaziz2716 No, not *exactly* but certainly not to this level -- nor would I, personally, categorize it as being in the same ballpark. I feel like Kojima is very... *particular* in his visions. I point to the many stories of his apparent... not method-acting, but I guess method-designing? Method-directing? Eccentricities. And I feel that in that sense, either Platinum somehow limited Kojima's oversight abilities, or Kojima gave them carte blanche to do whatever and didn't micromanage it at all. One of those two -- but it went wild and doesn't have the... I say this both literally and ironically, because Kojima is a living oxymoron like that, "Reserved Chaos" that his other games do. But yeah, you can see large DMC, some Bayonetta, and a smattering few of Godhand elements in Revengence for sure -- and it's beautiful.

​​​@@Thiccubusi mean, are we gonna ignore the giant burning space whale, and the zombie/ghost Volgin permanently on fire, that get defeated by getting sprayed with a plastic water pistol on MGS5, or the *everything* of MGS4? Hell, most of MGS2 as well, with the inmortal spanish vampire, the 4th wall breaking simulations and the enemy who can quite literally harness the power of the concept of luck. The MGS series has been a bombastic over the top thing since pretty much the beginning. MGR is pretty much in line with the rest of the series, vision wise. The major difference is that in this one they just dropped any pretensions of seriousness and just had fun with it.

As a brazilian, I can confirm

Yes, its one of those quirky details people always forget about us.

Actually, Sam's DLC says no. Brazilians have the mid-air dash.

That is almost the same thing

And people from Boston

I kept trying to say it out loud after Raiden said his sword was a tool of justice during his first encounter with Sam. But I couldn't say it seriously without bursting out into laughter.

​@@Deadgye "I-where the fuck is my sword, give it back!"

not really, no

@@beckmts wrong

“It’s a fucking mistake!”

especially considering everyone's media literacy descended into hell the moment he started talking. RT himself even said "are we forgetting about the children's brains??" and Raiden calls him batshit insane lmao sidenote, I don't know why people think Raiden is taking after Armstrong, when it's very explicit he's carrying on Sam's legacy, only unlike Sam he's motivated by his own desire to do good and is using his own bloodlust to achieve that goal. he's sadistic but he's not violent without reason. Armstrong was just a massive hypocrite, Raiden even calls him out and just because Armstrong got the last word doesn't make Raiden's point wrong. he was trying to do what he did to Sam; make him doubt his own morals by pulling the "we're not so different" card, only Raiden saw through that bullshit

@@aceofjacks7071 Boooo media literacy mentioned

​@pointillism252 It's a real thing though that some people desperately need

@@aceofjacks7071 I mean I don't think it is that simple, it's pretty clear that Armstrong is portrayed as unflinchingly sincere. Armstrong is also motivated by a desire to do what he sees as good, the entire comparison he makes in regard to Raiden isn't the same as Monsoon. Monsoon is "Jack we're the same because we both enjoy killing", Armstrong is "Jack we're both the same because we believe in our goals beyond the point of not compromising other ideals". Like yes obviously Armstrong has an ideal for the world that we find to be unpalpable, but he's not doing what he does out of simple motives like greed or pettiness. He's also not hypocritical because from his perspective the goal is more important than the means of achieving it - which go figure is exactly Raiden's take on murder etc. That's why he and Armstrong are similar. Their difference is in the degree of how far they have been made to go/chosen to go to achieve their goals, and in what their vision of an ideal world is. I also would be remiss to not point out that a whoooooooooole lotta current-day governments do all sorts of warcrimes on a regular basis so while I personally don't think children brain jar is an acceptable cost of having government, I also cannot confidently say how much worse it is than drone striking civillians. I do get the whole getting pissed at seeing people go "Wow Armstrong has a point actually guys" but I think there's more to it than "Armstrong is wrong in every way". My takeaway is something more to the degree of "Armstrong is admirable in having self-consistent ideals that he strives to enact unto the world, but those ideals are also morally unacceptable to me". One of the most pathetic aspects of real-life Armstrong-alike politicians is that they say the things they do without an ounce of consistency or principal. The fact that he has principals and consistency is specifically why he's an appealing antagonist in my eyes.

Nor being senile, or a child predator. Seriously, all options are shit these days.

Just like our athletes , the soldier of the future is powered by Gatorade.

​@@IAmOnFyre If you watch the Twitch vod, everyone predicted it when he bought the white suit.

To be fair, Metal Gear Rising is not very friendly to new fans of the franchise, and alludes back to the other games in the most confusing possible ways.

RT is too slow for non text based dialogue

I can accept struggling with some of the lore, but when he misses half of what's going on simply because he doesn't pay any attention it gets tiresome. The dialogue goes "it's a space launch vehicle" and "we're not going into orbit" and "it travels at Mach 23" and "I'm only going to the troposphere", at which point RT goes "so, wait, is he to Pakistan?!" I swear sometimes he willfully ignores what's going on just so he can make a big deal about how "confusing" it all is.

@@damageYT666 I feel like he understands what’s going on, just hams it up as a joke. Clearly he hears what the characters are saying, otherwise he’d be even more confused than he lets on to be.

Wonder how he beat blade wolf tbh

@@alandtic4616Through sheer determination :D. Also, I can't even laugh at him, I only learned to parry while fighting Monsoon... 's body double

Not quite…I’ve still passed one onto you.

Seems like the memes were only just getting started.

When you awaken a persona long dead that you thought you were over because you traumatized yourself into thinking you were not a child soldier and then felt like you had to fight for righteous causes because “you were trapped in fighting”, and then you overcome that hurdle, no Raiden, you did not halt his memes. In fact, it was more like the memes were resonating.

good

As they should

I would expect no less.

The game is incredibly stuoid, for sure, but the music is a banger

@@PikaPenny17 right, sorry, just media then.

But thanks to the Internet and how it went on to use the term, the speech was *memed* with its intended message obfuscated.

@@lewatoaofair2522 technically, memes are used in the correct context, its how they got their name in the first place. It's just, the learning/message tends to be with humor added. Well...unless its one of those weirdos that make paragraphs and slap a photo to it and cry "are you not entertained?" and wonder why people say they can't meme...

no, they don't. they mean meme as the old definition. a meme is the base unit of culture, multiple memes compose a singular idea, tradition, or cultural action.

They call him the drift King, not the sword and gte king 🤷‍♀️

You forget that he failed the first QTE in the metal gear ray fight for no discernible reason. Literally show the glowing buttons that he was supposed to press on the controller for a decent amount of time, “huh? What was i supposed to do there?”

@@SignalRaptor_ more than 1 button in QTE = brains fried of zoomer AND boomer gamers

I tend to categorise Metal Gear Rising in the same vein of difficulty "process" as Sekiro. Hard to learn but mostly straightforward in mastering (outside of optional technical stuff you can do for optimal damage or just styling). Unless it's the stealth sections, which are annoying.

@@leithaziz2716 Agreed. I achievement hunted MGR:R and the stealth bits are just asinine. While the difficulty _process_ is comparable to Sekiro, I just want to emphasize that MGR (once you do the bare min tutorial that tells you Direction + attack = block, random kanji/glowing body part means zandatsu) is trivially easy. I beat it on every difficulty stupidly fast, and I don't play these kinds of games often. I got "The Politics of Silencing Foes", "Truly Human", "Chosen by History, "Genius Destroyer", and "Prodigal Murderer" on very hard, and then went back and beat them all on Revengeance which was way easier imo. Edit: The only achievements I'm missing at this point is Stormbringer, You're Hired, and Draw, Pardner

It actually took rt 4 hours to realize Nano paste were a thing

In the stream VOD he actually did the tutorials... Badly

@@SignalRaptor_ Yeah but how long did it take you to learn Nano Paste was a thing and the Arm Sword fight was a metaphor for her fucking you and enjoying the death Big O YOUR first time, round huh? Geek vibes. How much were you "gettin" back then...If you just gushed that much prematurely just talking about how hard you "beat" it that tells me everything. That's fine more for me from you then. I dig "hard" gamers and your style is so hard. I think you might like my style as well, I'm a raver and go hard for it. Get it Hardstyle? I was the teen sl*t boy raver back in Highschool. Leather, fishnets, dyed hair and lots of purple and blacks with spikes and glow sticks, make up and glow in the dark whatever I could get my hands on, among other things.

Unlike RU-vid.

That quote feels right at home in Revengence tbh

He says, while cutting a guard's ass in half.

No more half-asses, waltuh

I see. Someone else played way too much mgr too. I was thinking about s ranking everything, but after doing hitless revengeance Armstrong, i quit. It was f*cking awful - phase 2 with his stupid dash grab is pure horror, dodging for 2,5 minutes. I didn't even try dlc Armstrong. My hands still hurt. Took me in sum 4 hours spread over a week to beat that phase.

Yeah. That was the biggest pain in all of the S ranking. The only element worse than that is attempting R-03 No Damage - before World Marshal Building - that is between last and 2nd to last ranked fight(which is the daze sequence to begin with). I somehow did that once on lower difficulty I think without fire extinguishers... and no killing(woodden sword)

@@pokfen1812 Oh my god I actually blocked that one out of my memory. It sucked so much ass. Definitely the second worst encounter in the game.

The file 4 lobby fight and the slow walk section in file 3 might genuinely be my least favorite encounters in any action game ever (and I’m including things like the Afterburner section in Bayonetta). I did an all S-rank no damage Revengeance playthrough and despite how much fun I had doing it I will never do it again because of those two encounters alone. The other guy didn’t explain the fire extinguisher strat so for the people who don’t know, to no damage that section you have to slowly kick at least 5 fire extinguishers up to the arena, then hit them which will create an RP grenade like effect which will stop the enemies from attacking you, you just wait till one fire extinguisher runs out and then hit another one, sounds easy enough doesn’t it?. The bad part is that pushing those fire extinguishers takes about 8 minutes and you have to do it every single restart, (and that’s the most optimal route I found pushing multiple fire extinguishers at once, if you’re doing it one by one it takes like 15) and hitting those fire extinguishers is very inconsistent, you have to angle Raiden in a very specific way and be a very specific distance from the fire extinguisher and even then it may just not work. And for the icing on the cake the enemies have guns so if you mistime it or miss a fire extinguisher you’ll get shot instantly 99% of the time with no chance to recover. Thank Christ that both of these encounters are optional.

Blade wolf is a good boy. :(

It's funny especially since it always starts with one of them attacking and it is SO EASY to parry that attack. And on the highest difficulty it's a oneshot (it's also funny to S rank it with No Kills achievement).

Just kojima in general. Death Stranding has moments like that. A memorable one being a character going in depth about how population diversity is important and that's why you're carry frozen sperm.

I love that line, but i hate that memes have been ruined forever as a scientific concept by the internet 😅

The funny thing is that meme studies are generally discredited because memes are just focusing on ideas floating around as opposed to noting the context, how they spread, and why they became popular (the context behind the meme being important), thus memes are watered-down signs from sign/signifier theory. That means that memetic theory was never considered seriously.

Uhh...no? Hideo Kojima loves to put bizzare stuff in his stories ever since Metal Gear 2. Not Solid 2, the original Metal Gear games. And now he's making Death Stranding. This is pretty normal for Metal Gear standards, and honestly one of the most focused stories since MGS3, which might sound bizarre out of context considering how over-the-top and memey this game is.

We didn't expect it... 23 years ago. MGS2 did most of what you just said, play literally any Metal Gear game other than Rising

Was searching for this comment because yeah big same Glad I'm not the only one

Especially anything with sundowner

Truly a formidable innovation of science

From what I remember, the legs use some kind of cultured ungulate muscle cells or something too, I think?

I love how that quote will forever be connected to this game for the rest of time. Max0r truly did make history

“MY SOURCE IS THAT I MADE IT THE FUCK UP”

Funny thing, Kojima didn’t even write it, he was barely involved with the making of the game. The most he did was asked Platinum to take over iirc. Kinda ironic that the most popular Metal Gear game is both a spin-off and was not even made by Kojima.

I bet it felt good when this game faded away in ground zeroes. Oh wait, what?

I want to see him react to "Vamp isn't for vampire, it's because he's bisexual"
