I still think the story is a nice continuation of things that MGS4 started. Cyborgs popping up left and right, more twisted, extreme machines being manufactured, the world in general growing more mad, it just seems like a natural escalation of things. Anyway, I love this game.

[@distantsea]

@@demi-femme4821 I'll take your entire stock

[@JustAndre92]

Honestly, the stealth is one of my favorite aspects of this game, because it feels like an intentional joke to have these traditional _Metal Gear_ scenarios thrown into this game of all games, only for Raiden to respond by leaping thirty feet in the air, stabbing through the length of an enemy's entire body, chopping it into fifty pieces, and eating its spine - all of which still qualifies as a "stealth kill," because this game is just that gloriously over-the-top. _Metal Gear Rising_ isn't one of the five best games I've ever played, but it's like _Pacific Rim_ in that every single moment fills me with so much pure, childish glee that it's one of my top five favorites.

[@gmaster2647]

Something that you didn't really mention is that this game actually has a shit ton of optional codec calls. Practically every time a new event happens in the stage (whether going to a new area or when a cutscene starts) there's like almost 10 new codec calls you can make. My guess is that those were there for those Metal Gear fans who prefer a little more exposition and characterization, since they certainly talk a bit more about the plot and certain backstories there. Hell, with the codec calls you even get more of a suspense/mystery feel in the final level than if you just went blazing through it. So there's certainly a lot more to the story in the game, but it's optional. Considering the type of game it is though, that's perfectly fine. No-one wants to play a high-intensity action game with super-long cutscenes with tons of exposition. That stuff's there for the Metal Gear fans. Hell, you even get a trophy for listening to all the codec calls, which easily adds another...5 hours to the game? Possibly more.

[@DarkAura19]

It is so strange having Armstrong be the senator of Colorado. And even MORE strange to be fighting in DENVER. You have no idea how satisfying it is to slice a Light Rail to bits, oh my god.

[@DarkAura19]

Naw it's okay, I wasn't really clear on that. Yep, I'm a Denver native. And uh... I guess I don't really love OR hate my senator. I'm indifferent to politics.

[@wickerman6121]

Yeah, I'm indifferent to politics too, but I feel as though I need to vote for the next president. But that's a totally different can of worms. Anyway, how are you?

[@lancelot717]

So, fun fact, the cutscene where Raiden is driving on the highway into Denver, the area is realistic to the actual location. The big building on the left of the highway is a Dog/Cat food factory and smells awful.

[@OneTrueNobody]

I like how you ended this video with a close-up of Old Snake's bum on the left and a loop of Raiden doing taint-flips on the right. It's like a backhanded comment about how subtle Revengeance is compared to the rest of the Metal Gear franchise!

[@ryansanders5362]

[@SonicmaniaVideos]

+Agent 005 Metroidvania's refer specifically to the design of the world, non-linear platform game, it's a completely open ended world that you choose how to traverse. It's NOT a genre of game because this is exclusively a fan made term referring to a specific type of platformer.

[@PaceBreaker]

I think it's also due the negative image a game could go by if you used a typical genre title. Yes, there's somewhat more to it than what comes to mind when someone generally thinks "hack n slash" but the fans shouldn't feel ashamed or belittled because of a name.

I think the main thing is that Darwinism exams it as how nature "works," while Social Darwinism advocates it as a method to be actively employed rather than simply observed, which is where more moral quandary comes in.

It's a little tragic to see that David didn't actually finish things off in MGS4, but I guess it makes sense. It's hard to change the world, and it doesn't always happen because one man thought it was possible. Hope David still got to take it easy up in Alaska. He deserves it.

[@FletcherReedsRandomness]

Here are the reasons why Senator Armstrong is the best final boss ever: 1. Before getting Sam's sword, you can't do sh*t to him. 2. Armstrong's speech 3. "Don't f*ck with this senator!" 4. "Nanomachines, son!" 5. He destroys a Metal Gear with his bare hands 6. Bladewolf helps you out 7. "Even dead, that guy is a pain in my ass!" 8. Raiden says "Let's dance" 9. Perfectly balanced difficulty 10. The battleground turns into Hell 11. Armstrong picks up and throws cars and boulders at you, which you slice up 12. Did I mention everything Armstrong says? 13. That. F*cking. Incredible. Music. 14. Really, the whole battle. 15. Raiden finishes the fight by ripping out Armstrong's HEART. That is why Senator Armstrong is my favorite boss in any video game ever.

Awesome review, Johnny! It's like as if both the conception and the execution behind this game really do go "hand-in-hand". What I mean by that is they both work so well and this game really is so cool and awesome to plow through and not just because MGR: Revengeance was made by Platinum Games but also because it's a game where you just simply have so much fun without even a care in the world, just like any other video game before or after or whatever. That's the beauty of it, both that and playing the game on a much difficult level and all that jazz.

i haven't watched the video yet (I'm at the 0:22 second mark) but let me just say what i want to say about this "Platinum Masterpiece". MGR: Revengeance is what Action games are supposed to be. It's hard to explain in words, but whenever i play this, i always have fun. I start up the game up and thinking, " I'll play a level or two," but then a few hours pass and I realize i played the entire campaign from start to finish everytime. And before anyone says this game isn't MGS, well you're right. This is Raiden's game, not Solid Snake's game. and personally, I'm for it. It's a spinoff series that keeps some elements from the main series and it does it well.... when you get pass the nanomachines..... Son! (sorry, I had to!

I'm still convinced that Armstrong uses Haki from One Piece. I hope someone gets that reference.

[@FajitaPants]

Yeah kinda like vergo

2:54 I disagree,MRG started to get really serious and deep toward the end if you think about it! 7:32 Ok no,come on! 1 Dimensional every Wind Of Detruction member (except Sundowner,he fights for money) has a philosophy and a cause they fight!

Looking forward to seeing the Metal Gear Acid review!

[@UnrealNeoBat]

Thanks man! I feel like playing this game again.

[@nazek4216]

The story isn't _quite_ as black-and-white as you say. Raiden's beliefs are more aligned with Armstrong's than he lets on.

Great Review. When this game first came out, I wasn't interested but I recently picked it up and I love it. I've already beat it twice. I want to play more platinum games.
