@@MALICEM12 WHAT I recently got into the metal gear solid series and loved snake eater And you're telling me A remaster was wasted on pachinko???????????,
Fun fact Armstrong is only in the game for less than an hour and only shows up at the end but is so iconic he has lived on through memes a whole decade later
I did , besides this piece of art , i got SBC , i feel that my soul is leaving my body when the goes "DECIDING Faith ..with THE WOOORRLLD ..ON THE LIIIIIIINEE"
Standing here I realize You are just like me Trying to make history But who's to judge The right from wrong When our guard is down I think we'll both agree That violence breeds violence But in the end it has to be this way I've carved my own path You followed your wrath But maybe we're both the same The world has turned And so many have burned But nobody is to blame Yet staring across this barren wasted land I feel new life will be born Beneath the blood stained sand Beneath the blood stained sand
AAAAAAHHHHH!!!! PAAAAAIIIINNNN!!!!!! I broke my hand yesterday because of the hate comments I get all the time. I was so angry that I punched a hole in my computer. Please don't hate me, dear sta
I don’t think I ever realized before that his health does go down during these attacks. It shows that he IS taking damage from them, but it’s doing SO LITTLE that its fucking intimidating.
The thing about this video too is, that this guy is mashing buttons much, much faster than the normal player. Often times, players do less than half of that damage during this interaction making it even more intimidating.
Gotta love how Raiden *calmly* takes a step back after the first barrage,waits for Armstrong to adjust his glasses and be prepared,then starts his second barrage of punches
Armstrong really is THE biggest chad, he literally just stood there taking a full blast fucking nine page muda's worth of punches and didn't even flinch
The coolest thing about this little gameplay thing is that its not scripted. The dmg dealt is actually there. If you enter ripper mode with the infinite energy hair item and use the orange body that increases damage, you actually do more dmg to armstrong in this setpiece.
@@Zeberai im pretty sure eyesight worsens if you dont try to look at things far away often, but thats just my guess, i have glasses btw. oh and also when the eyeballs grow it just gets worse until it stops at some point and it just is like that for the rest of the life (this is also a guess)
Fun fact, in the cutscene straight after this he rips off his shirt to reveal his "Nanomachines son!" before the scene transitions to a fight where his health is at 200% regardless of how much you reduced him to during this sequence. This implies that the 100% really is just the shirt's healthbar.
Having this happen during a QuickTime event is so brilliant because most players are so focused on not screwing up, and especially with "mash the button" ones people deliberately try harder than they need to so they don't undershoot. So when this man is standing completely still and just taking it while you're pressing for your life, the terror is REAL.
The fact that he is taking *some* kind of damage and is actually being moved a bit by your attacks is honestly scarier than him taking no damage at all. Makes him still feel mortal but still insanely strong for just shrugging that stuff off
The fact he doesn’t care about it’s hurting him means that it doesn’t matter wether he’s hurt or not he’s still gonna win. (I know he doesn’t but there is probably a alternative timeline where he did)
I love it when Armstrong refers to Raiden as "Jack" instead of Raiden. I have a thing for when the hero is all professional-like "Your evil days are over, Dr. Evil!" and the villain is all on the first name basis like "You can't stop me, Bob"
It’s even cooler, and accentuates Armstrong’s attitude towards Raiden, when you consider that Raiden gave up the name Jack because it reminded him of his time as a child soldier (and other reasons I may have forgotten). He’s not just acting all first-name and casual, he’s deadnaming him.
@@melaniewilson1742 psychological warfare, is a way to destabilise the enemy and increase your chances of winning, used a lot during war and boxing matches
Reminder: at this point, Raiden had spun and thrown a Metal Gear Ray over his shoulder, swung Metal Gear Excelsus in a 180 degree angle, and wielded its building sized arm with what looked like the relative effort of carrying and swinging a sandbag. That’s the kind of strength Armstrong is tanking.
Having him take a not-insignificant amount of damage and just... not care is actually way more intimidating than if his health just barely moved. There's no strategic factor; he literally just gives you a chunk of his HP purely to flex on you, because he can afford to do it. It's a pure power move. If he took no damage at all, classic video game instincts tell us that we're going to get some kind of trick or ability later that makes him vulnerable. But the fact he takes actual damage here tells us that, no, there isn't a gimmick, he's just this tough.
I love the small detail of when youre doing light hits his hardening only goes through to his arms and he doesn't even flinch, but when youre going all out, the force of your punches is traveling through his entire body head to toe, and he's still standing strong despite the punches literally shacking him
I noticed it, but i didn't think about the fact that the nanomachines respond directly to trauma. That's crazy that Raiden after all that damage can still dish out THAT much.
Until you did it at revengeance difficulty and you kinda have to survive the onslaught while getting him to a specific hp% treshold. Been stuck for a long time there.
@@thakilla2 easily the most hellish part of beating revengeance mode. Everything else had it's ups and downs but that part specifically? Right behind sam dlc Armstrong in difficulty imo
Fan fact: when he rips his shirt, his health becomes 200%, suggesting that before we were fighting his shirt. Also, it implies that he started using nanomachines only after ripping his shirt, meaning he was tanking Raidens punches bareAssed.
What the quote is trying to actually imply here, is hands are important because weapons need to be handled so they can be used,so without hands it therefore "makes" those weapons useless, the weapons ARE NOT useless themselves
@@jellymatsuryuka6853 can't tie the weapons to you arms when the hands you need for tieing are already chopped off and if there is no one around to help you do that. Even if there is someone to do it for you, the weapon you can possibly get the most use out of are melee weapons and not firearms, bombs or flame throwers which prove to be more effective weapons in modern combat
A cyborg desperately and rapidly punching a bodybuilder senator who isn’t moved entirely is what brought back Metal Gear Solid and Rising back to popularity
