God, the comeback Raiden made is unbelievable to me. He went from a dude everyone hated to a badass, white-haired Katana wielding icon with amazing theme songs
… it is saddening how people hated him to high heaven in MGS2 though, I like him, he’s a fitting and well written character, especially in the environment he’s in (newbie who only went through VR training, fights against basically magician veterans and having 90% of his existences stripped down and invalidated) It took him his body, right eye, his jaw, his remaining innocences, humanity and sanity for everyone to start liking him which is… _kinda unfair now that you think about it,_ I like his MGS4 and rising appearances as well but… I don’t like the implications of his instant favoritism by everyone else
Kojima did an amazing job with Raiden in this game. After all of the players were complaining about him in MGS2 wanted to play with Snake, in MGS4 all of us wanted to play with Raiden
I wanted him to be my character but I don't about playing with Raiden, ya know if I weren't straight but...oh that's what you meant to begin with! Never mind, just a phrasing thing lol...
18:51 “it even rained the day i was born...” “You’ve got it all wrong, you were the lightning in that rain” damn that digged deep in raiden and it manifested in revengeance
54:15 I love how seeing that Raiden is still alive raises Snake's spirits more than the shots. MGS4 might have been a mess but it did a lot for Raiden and Snake's characters; besides just irreversibly destroying their bodies and turning them both into human weapons.

"We have all of this groundbreaking technology at our fingertips. Quick! Everybody grab a sword, and wait before the protagonist is gone before going after his armless friend who wields a sword with his with a foot!"
i love how Raiden turned the very line Snake told him ("you were the lightning in that rain") into an ability. ("i am lightning, the rain transformed.) Nice touch there Kojima.
I love how even before MGR Raiden was casually ignoring the laws of physics. Like what is his body made of to have enough mass to stop a giant ass ship in motion like that? If a whole ass pier wasn't doing it what's an extra cyborg worth of mass going to do to stop a battleship? It's plowing through the ground he's standing on so it should just move him with it.
Also, during the first fight, he managed to shrug off several .50 BMG rounds from the Gekkos. Considering how those rounds can easily blow up a regular person and punch through unarmored/light armored vehicles, he somehow managed to not fall flat on his ass or bleed to death in seconds, which is honestly pretty impressive to say the least. Also nanomachines, son.
@@chicoscience502 less development time,knife was supposed to be a part of dual wield system but MGRR only got 2 years of development time so we don't have half of the planned stuff
I didn't know about MGS at all until back in 2012. Back in 2012, my brother bought MGS4 and I didn't care about it at all. I didn't know what the metal gear franchise even was. I just saw it as just another gun shooting game and shit. My brother had no knowledge of mgs and neither did I. He played the game and I just left the room because I had no interest. About 6 months later, I saw the cutscene he was playing of this scene of Raiden fighting the Gecko and it was at that moment that I got interested and wondered who this Raiden guy was. Then in 2013, I saw there was a MGRR demo and played that if it meant I can lay as RAiden. I had no interest in solid snake and found Raiden to be superior. It wasn't until I found old games of MGS and discovered MGS1 and saw that the MGS games were something special and cool and started to play them. If it wasn't for Raiden, I never would've found this awesome franchise.
Thats how I got into MGS, my uncle played them but I never found them interesting until he played MGS2 for me, thats when I really was introduced to Raiden, though in MGS2 he's not as loved as he was in 4, when you fight Solidus with a Katana, I thought he was a badass. Then playing MGS4, Raiden was taken to a whole new level and god damn did I love it.
I had heard of it but had no interest, I played super smash bros brawl and when I played as Snake I was like "Wow this guy is very cool!" And now hear I am playing mgsv despite it being like 5-6 years old.
*What I think Raiden was thinking in these moments* 1:32 Raiden: Alright, haven't seen Snake in a long time. Gotta be cool and time to show off the new body!!!! 4:28 Raiden: Hey Snake did you see what I- aaaaaaand he's not even here. He probably didn't see any of that...... 6:58 Raiden: AW COME ON!!! NOW YOUR WATCHING!?!?!?!! 8:09 Raiden: Alright time to make up for before! Watch this shit!!!! 9:39 Raiden: Man those dance lessons I took are really paying off!!! 9:53 Raiden: Man I guess he took some lessons to. 11:39 Raiden: *weakly* Kept you waiting huh *Bleugh!* Oh I don't think that's suppose to be outside of me. 28:40 Raiden: eh!!

Can I get sick with this body?? 32:08 Raiden: Welp this is what I get for being "Honorable." 32:32 Raiden: Shit gotta move!!! 32:34 Raiden: Wait since when could I do that!?!?!??? 48:15 Raiden: This is excruciatingly painful!!! This better not become a constant thing with me!!!!!! 49:32 Raiden: And there goes the other one!!! SON OF A- 54:12 Raiden: I have know idea how I did that! Just be cool, act like you did they don't know that. 58:25 Raiden: Welp..... this sucks!...... God damnit snake! I BETTER GET A SPIN-OFF GAME FOR THIS SHIT!!!!!!!
I played MGR first, and I thought they overdid Raiden's strength a bit, but now that I've seen him breakdance with two robots twice his size tied to his ankles, I think they did him justice, lol
Raiden's best action choreographies are from this game. They're even cheesier than MGR but everything Raiden does is extremely creative and amusing to see.

To think the man named Samuel Rodriguez able to hold himself against this man and it doesn't feel like bull*hit at all, if Raiden is already this strong before getting an upgraded cyborg body that we see in Revengeance, imagine he use that upgraded body on its full potential
I love cinematic games, and the metal gear franchise is literally like a playable movie due to the story being so good and because the music makes it feel very cinematic. Props to kojima they did a very good job!
I kinda understand why this game had cutscenes so long, it was supposed to be the closure of the Metal Gear series (still is story-wise), but then we got Peace Walker and MGSV
What a heartfelt ending, I guess Jack can finally live a peaceful life with his family TIME TO LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIIIIIIIIIND This post was made by the MGR gang Edit: I did not expect everyone to start singing random MGR songs but I am not complaining
sadest part to me is 39:14 naomis death the voice actor of otacon nailed it on making him sound like he was crying and actually sad made me cry alot there
"It even rained the day I was born." "Raiden, you are a traumatized Liberian war orphan who never so much as knew what your parents looked like. You have no earthly way of confirming how good or bad the weather was on the day of your birth. Cut the Shadow the Hedgehog crap and come help me kill the gay vampire or whatever."
I still hate that we never got the original Metal Gear Rising Kojima had planned. From what I've heard, it would've played like the Batman Arkham series
In fairness that one trailer of Metal Gear Solid Rising was literally all they had up to that point, so in a way we did, but it would be cool to see a game between 2 and 4 with Raiden.
young kids really should play metal gear solid games specially MGS2 MGS3 and MGS4 in my opinion MGS4 is really one of the most prophetic games that i have ever played in terms of the subjects it talks about and its future predictions that is coming to reality the magnificent music this game has changed how i view the world a 100% like no other game did this game is way underrated kojima is a genius
Yeah i may b only 27 but i agree with u kids should play at least first metal gear solid 2 and then metal gear solid 4 i mean your right partly because they wouldnt understand all of who all the charectors in metal gear solid 4 because there r charectors from shadow moses from sons of liberty from snake eater i mean how would kids now b able 2 have the paicence 2 play all those games before playing a cool game like this plus i wouldnt even begin 2 figure out how 2 even find not only a gamecube for shadow moses a ps2 for sons of liberty and snake eater and finally a ps3 for guns of the patriots i mean you would halve 2 have a hell of alot of money 2 get those games let alone the systems

Yes, this is one of the best piece of entertainment there is to consume. But not only that, learn from it. Kojima has achieved his dream of being one of the greatest storyteller in human history.
It's kind of sad that Raiden lost most of his humanity. I wonder how that affected him psychologically? That his brain and eyeballs are the only human parts of him that are left. That must've been hard to come to terms with. I wish we got to see more fully human Raiden. Maybe in a prequel game that would have showed us what happened to him before MGS4. MGS2 Raiden is my favorite, but I might be biased because of how attractive he was. His "human" body still looks good at the end of MGS4, but it's just not the same knowing that it's artificial. I wish Platinum gave us his MGS2 outfit as a costume in Revengeance.

But that timeeeeeeee came to an eeeeeeeeend in 2018

@@veyolaski4324the weakest Brazilian: 👀
To think the man named Samuel Rodriguez able to hold himself against this man and it doesn't feel like bull*hit at all, if Raiden is already this strong before getting an upgraded cyborg body that we see in Revengeance, imagine he use that upgraded body on its full potential
I'll be hyped if we see another mg actually with raiden I'll loose my Shit lol
Kojima got a interesting brain anything is possible
@@kingartison Kojima doesn't own the rights to MGS anymore
@@justken1337 pretty sad considering he put his soul into those games
Damn Konami didn’t even allow him to finish MGSV properly

dont forget that the robots moo like cows
Konami take my f#$%ing money! make MGR2 please. I love Raiden, he's my favorite character.
Fine I admit it I'm a Raiden fanboy
I'm not ashamed to admit I was a fan of him even in 2.
He will forever be my top 5 most bad ass guys in a game
I love cinematic games, and the metal gear franchise is literally like a playable movie due to the story being so good and because the music makes it feel very cinematic.
Props to kojima they did a very good job!
Metal gear is the only game that have the longest cutscene ever
Not true, there's many games with long cutscenes. Yakuza 0 has one that's 20 minutes long.
@@HairyJuan but does it have the longest cutscene ever? I thought not
I kinda understand why this game had cutscenes so long, it was supposed to be the closure of the Metal Gear series (still is story-wise), but then we got Peace Walker and MGSV
@@HairyJuanYes but MGS4’s ending cutscene is about 1 hour long
Raiden would technically be considered Snake's nephew, correct?
Correct
yep
Explain the lore
@@Flareonty Solidus is Snake's brother, and Raiden's adoptive father; so that would technically make him (Raiden) Solid Snake's nephew.
@@mercythemessenger6983 ok thanks
I feel like Solid saw Traces of Fox in Raiden so he tried his best to give Raiden a chance at a normal life
I've heard of kids that have had to grow up in very weird households, but John takes the cake.
Raidens outfit Is cool in mgs 4 but it’s such an improvement in metal gear rising
Mgr Raiden looks bad ass but mgs4 takes the cake with that clean leather coat
I like the rising body and the 4 head. Maybe I'm just weak to those pretty eyes and long hair, lol.
Raiden is hands down my favorite character in Metal Gear
Raiden steals the show everytime he's on screen
Metal Gear Rising is one of my favorite Metal Gear games. I will always play it every single time I can.
not me crying when Raiden says he has no family 😢
Raiden: "Snake"
Snake: "Raiden"
Raiden: "Europe" *dies from cringe
Raidens son saying he thinks he’s cool was so hart worming
you know that when an antagonist licks his knife he is batshit insane and will for sure die in the game
Man I forgot how much Raiden channeled Yoshimitsu in the fight against Vamp
What a heartfelt ending, I guess Jack can finally live a peaceful life with his family
TIME TO LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIIIIIIIIIND

And it was beautiful
There was already a game about him, MGS2
Raiden is a breakdancing ninja
33:19 he fell like Liquid, he died like Solidus
WE WANT A METAL GEAR WITH RAIDEN BETWEEN MGS2 AND 4
That's what Rising was supposed to be but the devs wanted more creative liberty so they set it after MGS4 and that's why I really really need this

I still hate that we never got the original Metal Gear Rising Kojima had planned.
From what I've heard, it would've played like the Batman Arkham series
Maybe we could still get it as a prequel sort of thing.
And with Gray Fox as protagonist.
In fairness that one trailer of Metal Gear Solid Rising was literally all they had up to that point, so in a way we did, but it would be cool to see a game between 2 and 4 with Raiden.
The metal gear rising we did get is still awesome though I would like to see the original one kojima had planned
MGR DLC with blade wolf hunting stealth 😎 And your dream is done

toujours un plaisir de revivre ces scènes.

young kids really should play metal gear solid games specially MGS2 MGS3 and MGS4 in my opinion MGS4 is really one of the most prophetic games that i have ever played in terms of the subjects it talks about and its future predictions that is coming to reality the magnificent music this game has changed how i view the world a 100% like no other game did this game is way underrated kojima is a genius
To bad Konami treated Kojima like shit
Yeah i may b only 27 but i agree with u kids should play at least first metal gear solid 2 and then metal gear solid 4 i mean your right partly because they wouldnt understand all of who all the charectors in metal gear solid 4 because there r charectors from shadow moses from sons of liberty from snake eater i mean how would kids now b able 2 have the paicence 2 play all those games before playing a cool game like this plus i wouldnt even begin 2 figure out how 2 even find not only a gamecube for shadow moses a ps2 for sons of liberty and snake eater and finally a ps3 for guns of the patriots i mean you would halve 2 have a hell of alot of money 2 get those games let alone the systems
@@karaavery1599 there’s a new PlayStation thing that has old PlayStation classics like the og metal gear solid (I think). I got into mgs from mgsv tpp and have been a slow grind on playing and watching and understanding mgs. It’s very fun and entertaining. The gameplay in mgsv tpp (which I still play today) is probably one of most favorite of games to play and dissect. I wish I got into mgs sooner lmao. I’m 16 btw, so there are still kids out there who play and enjoy these games lol

Yes, this is one of the best piece of entertainment there is to consume. But not only that, learn from it. Kojima has achieved his dream of being one of the greatest storyteller in human history.
It's kind of sad that Raiden lost most of his humanity. I wonder how that affected him psychologically? That his brain and eyeballs are the only human parts of him that are left. That must've been hard to come to terms with. I wish we got to see more fully human Raiden. Maybe in a prequel game that would have showed us what happened to him before MGS4. MGS2 Raiden is my favorite, but I might be biased because of how attractive he was. His "human" body still looks good at the end of MGS4, but it's just not the same knowing that it's artificial. I wish Platinum gave us his MGS2 outfit as a costume in Revengeance.
I thought his spine was human too. Like you have to leave all of the nervous system, kinda hard to digitize that lol
You guys forgot about his human heart
1:03:50 it's scary how john perfectly copied his father's moves when he first held the hf blade in mgs2
Raiden has no right to be this fine
