The irony about blade wolf’s speech is that it falls right in line with Armstrong’s philosophy. He’s no longer following orders given to him by his programmer or who ever built him, instead he’s making his own directives and goals. He’s fighting and dying for what HE believes in, not someone else. He’s using Armstrong’s own ideas against the man.

[@jasoncummings7]

A really neat thing I noticed in the dialogue. When Jack claims that Armstrong didn't know anything about "the weak" because he had never had to fight just to survive like Jack did, Armstrong doesn't try to refute this claim. In fact, he almost confirms it with his next line of dialogue. "But you did survive! Through sheer force of will! Following your own set of rules. With your own two hands, you took back your life!" In Armstrong's mind, Jack's survival against all the odds confirms his ideology is righteous.

[@MTN6516]

I kind of view it as Armstrong disagreeing. BECAUSE Raiden survived, Raiden isn't weak to him. Raiden carved his own path and took back his life, which makes him strong in armstrong's opinion

[@crackers364]

Armstrong's ideals were more or less lining up with Raiden's, but there was one part that's rather.. twisted. He was planning to rebuild America on a "Survival of the fittest" style, meaning the weak will be picked on and removed from society. Raiden? Well.. It goes without saying that that part didn't really make him happy so it had to end the way it did.

[@AbysmalRandomn3ss]

Raiden actually agrees with Armstrongs mindset quite a bit, which is why Armstrong considers him his “successor” in a way. By saying so he admits that Raiden perfected his dream supposedly. Raiden understands that everyone who’s considered weak by Armstrongs definition doesn’t deserve to die.

Man I remember back in the day getting to Armstrong thinking "Ha! This dumb politician guy in glasses is so screwed now" of course I didn't know the insanity of Platinum games at the time. When he hulked out my jaw legit dropped in the best way possible

The funny part is, that as the Russian and Ukrainian war rages on right now, this very thing what Senator Armstrong is happening is true.

[@darkheart._]

how come

[@adrianstan7016]

@@darkheart._ well Putin started a war for money and territory, hired mercenaries that basically see war as an industry and Russian soldiers fight for something they don't believe in. This war is what Armstrong was against

For us who never played this game, it's difficult to understand how Armstrong is a bad guy.

[@sunsetman22]

to be fair he's barely in the game besides this final fight, and a small appearance near the middle. he does associate with terrorists that kidnap homeless children, rip their nervous systems off and turn them into cyborg soldiers though, so make no mistake, he's a bad guy.

[@yasininn76]

​@@sunsetman22that's not necessarily bad. If those soldiers end up using for something that makes far more good than the bad it is in the first place, then it's a matter of which evil is worse
