Higgs Final Encounter & Fight (Sam Defeats Higgs) - Death Stranding 2019

[@3Guys1Video]

When I saw those arcade life gauges pop up, i knew I was playing a Hideo Kojima game

[@ragerodracir]

I already felt it at "A Hideo Kojima Game" in the opening credits.

[@Miyakolover]

I think it's a reference to the final boss fight in MGS4.

[@3Guys1Video]

Real cool

[@manuelmateo3392]

@@Miyakolover Difference is that game actually has a constant health bar. While the health bars change by game in the battle with Ocelot, here they're full on fighting game health bars for fun, which are different from Sam's normal health indicators.

@@ragerodracir higgs killed himself dude. Fragile confirmed it.

[@Austin-vp6qq]

Gotta be honest though, I was kinda disappointed with Higgs as a character. He had no real motivation for doing what he did. Why did he want to see the next extinction? It was never made clear at any point for his motivations.

Isn't this Troy Baker the one who do voice acting for Sam Drake? Is that his real face being modeled for Higgs?

[@powderedground78]

The music when they are having the fist fight is so emotional. Higgs and Sam both seem totally exhausted. You start feeling bad for Higgs as well. Amazing.

[@nigelpersulessy8748]

In 7:25 the cool details is that if you hold both hands to block and wait for too long while Higgs standing there unconscious,he'll fight back and then he'll headbutting Sam,and if you don't shake off for too long,Higgs will bite's Sam's right ears off,and after the fight,Sam's right damaged ears will stay like this until the end

[@quamelwebb5912]

I love how Sam isn't a necessarily brutal fighter. But there's no strength spared in his attacks. Those blows felt heavy and purposeful.

[@PenguinsAreColdish]

i love how he was psyching himself up "i can beat you"

[@crossroads8370]

Yeah I laughed at that part to.

[@HereIam123]

So, I'm fairly confident that Higgs saying that the way he does, and pulling out the knife is a reference to the end of Commando, and I love it.

[@clockworkdeath935]

@@HereIam123 that’s what it reminded me of as well

[@Degrees_Below]

This fight on easy doesnt do it justice, I just beat it on hard and it was intense, he kills you with the knife in 3 hits vs here it would've taken like 20. You need to party him with your rope to get big damage in . His gun melts you, you actually have to out maneuver him and use the crates while he reloads. That fistfight at the end actually requires you to block and you dont do as much damage so the fist fight last longer and and you really feel that sense of two guys with no energy in a brawl. So dont judge this fight from this video alone. It really doesnt do it justice

[@Theblacksaiyan92]

"I play play games on hard and I want everyone to know"

[@Degrees_Below]

@@Theblacksaiyan92 or I just see that on easy he is able to take 20 hits with a knife removing the sense of urgency vs on hard the fight actually takes effort, and the only reason I'm saying something is I'm seeing people in the comment talk about how this fight seem so boring and uninvolved just "mash square", when it's really not

[@kylecook7187]

You know what's funny? I was totally judging the fuck out of this

[@sleepyreapy1222]

on any difficulty this boss fight is laughably bad

[@tr5iplex]

Yeah it was intense cuz ur a noob. The game is easy af. Its not meant to be the next "dark souls" type of game. As someone below said "I play play games on hard and I want everyone to know". Literally everyone switched to hard after seeing how easy it was. As of what u brought up? U mean parry not party right? The game literally parry's for u slowing down the time and telling u when to press the button. Gun melts u? You will outrun his bullets 100% of the time and he reloads almost as long as he shoots. + the AI in this game literally only sees whats right in front of them. And you can get higgs down to half hp in the fist fight just by mashing punch button. After that its all scripted with 2 times where u just have to mash the square button and if u somehow are afk and let him punch u to death u can just eat a cryptobiote as soon as they appear and you are back at full health.

[@JohnDoe-pt7ru]

Such a fun boss fight. I love the way the game subtly encourages you to do things without telling you. Those suitcases sitting around as a nice hint to use them as weapons.
