LOL nah, if Kojima had written it, the whole thing would have been broken down into a 40 minute cutscene about how it works and how it's an allegory for war or something. xD Nanomachines, son... is the perfect explanation. xDDD
Not even the original version which was supposed to be about how Raiden saved sunny from the Patriots and how he became a cyborg and I think it was supposed to be called metal gear rising
Dude... you have a check mark next to your name?! :O - congrats!! Well deserved!! What a wild ride this episode was... damn Armstrong is absolutely hilarious. xDDDD
I love when you can look at an antagonist's beliefs, motives, and methods. Like, actually, you can agree with him on some points, and he's really goddamn charismatic. This is pretty much the only case where the final boss comes out of nowhere with (nearly) no build-up, but it's the best part of the game.
Oh yeah I agree, Armstrong is an absolutely amazing character... everything he does gets your attention, makes you laugh and then adds to the story... plus his moveset was awesome! :D
@@RockyRockhead just as a clarifier, not sure you picked up on it when he compliments Raiden on being strong, but when Armstrong talks about the "strong" he means people who got where they are through hard work. This could range from a lower class person struggling to survive, to rich CEOs who achieved that position by building the company from the ground up or by climbing the ranks like everyone else.
@@RockyRockhead fun fact: the only cybernetic part of Mr steven armstrong is his heart nothing else the super strength the energy absorption he got that from the University of Texas playing College ball his nano machine pumping heart only gives him that super human durability nothing else I am not joking
@@RockyRockhead effectively Armstrong won. His philosophy agrees with the idea that somebody with the strength and determination to kill him is better, and that man absorbed parts of his philosophy. He said he had a successor, and by his standards he was right.
"I have established new parameters now. Created my own directives." It's like his theme song told us: He is his own master now. Blade Wolf is honestly my favorite character in the game.
Pretty sure that's how you learn to do it... there is no prompt, you just slash at him until you hit a part that works. Supposedly it would have worked better for me in Blade Mode from the back, but I got told that after.
Fun fact, every time you parry metal gear excelsus you take 4% damage. Armstrong was serious, that's actually what he wants, a world free of corrupt politicians, he wants people like Raiden and Jetstream sam in charge, of course his way of getting that world is well, "bat shit insane". The blade wolf dlc is all about stealth, I recommend restarting from the last checkpoint every time you get caught. Be sure to pay close attention to the Sam dlc tutorial, because some people just don't pay attention to the text, so they misunderstand the new mechanics. Also parrying is not as important in the Sam dlc. Speaking of Sam, you should try to beat Sam without the parry or defensive offense, and just use the strategy I talked about in the last video.
29:12 , a clear example of a person going "Wait, he kinda has a point" Yet another reason why Armstrong is the best villain in years, it's actually difficult to argue against his principles. Method on the other hand..
I mean, technically almost all characters in Metal Gear from MGS1 onwards (chronological timeline not release order) has nanomachines, it's just what those nanomachines do can be entirely different. Snake had nanomachines which regulated is metabolic rate, Vamp had nanomachines that made him functionally immortal, and every PMC except Jonny in MGS4 has nanomachines with an encoded ID
55:20 Wow, you brute-forced his healing phase by accident. You're supposed to blade mode his back (that's what the orange square icon means) but I didn't know you could hit it with normal attacks, too. Lucky.
I just want to say that the theme when fighting Metal Gear EXCELSIUS is called Collective Contiousness and I believe it's pretty underrated :D The whole game has incredible soundtrack but this one stood out to me
That's a definite misspelling by Metal Gear writers. It's supposed to be Shahbazabad, not Shabhazabad (the H and B are misplaced). Shahbaz is the name of a legendary bird in persian legends.
Once again, wonderfully done video! This is probably my favorite full playthrough of this game I've seen to date, from your commentary to the engagement with your viewers, and I'm glad I joined in at this time to be part of the ride. You've well earned all of the viewers and subscribers this series has brought, me included. The DLC chapters for this game are incredible and I'll be anxiously awaiting those videos, but overall thank you for making these!
Thanks very much for being here Zyrven! The people that watch and comment become just as much a part of the playthrough as I am... without the help from comments, my gameplay wouldn't be nearly as good as it is. :) I'm really glad that you enjoyed the series, I had an absolute blast!
You have to stop panicking during time sequences because you actually have a lot of time to press the buttons Also, for Armstrong to stop healing you need to go behind him and use blade mode to hit the back but you need to do it fast and it will stun him and stop him from healing
@@RockyRockhead he is pretty impressive before that happens and I don't think you have the height for it he is like 200cm but why are you responding this is a old comment people usually don't do this and what timing i just got done watching some disgusting things but anyways I like the idea of you cosplaying for now goodbye I will see you when you play bioshock 2
Well that's how Metal Gear Solid games tend to treat their characters, the protagonist or one game can be the antagonist of the next game. :D Imagine having to fight Raiden... and you play as... Sunny or George!!!! :O
I like the contrast between the two Armstrong sonds. in collective consciencness it's about abandaning you're own freedom and letting the government tell you what to do which is how Raiden sees Armstrong at that time. It has to be this way is about Raiden and Armstrong being two people who have to fight because their ideals are incompatable but nevertheless respect the other one and acknowledge him as an equel both physically and philosophically
I wonder why 47:04 no youtuber/streamer realizes you have to use katana mode on that Either way your reaction to this masterpiece of a game was really fun to watch
55:19 I didn't know that you can break Armstrongs healing simply by attacking his back, I always tought that could only do it in blade mode I think the DLC is accessed from the main menu simply by pressing new game after story completion, but I could be wrong it's been a while. Also blocking works bit differently in the DLC, but you'll figure it out.
I flailed around so much during the armstrong fight... I think I got lucky with that shot, never managed to do it again. xD Thanks for watching, Battedbook5 :D
@@RockyRockhead The blue flash gives you bullet time blade mode. The yellow icon means there's a part of the enemy that can be cut/damaged with Blade mode, but it won't give you bullet time (just very slow enemy movement). One of the many things the game doesn't explain.
Ah yes... an amazing fight against Metal Gear Exelcus, and then the fight against Nanoma- I mean Senator Armstrong! :D And of course, my favorite song in the entire game too: "It Has to Be This Way." It's very much a back-and-forth between Armstrong and Raiden. Standing here, I realize you were 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've 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 this blood stained sand. This blood-stained sand.
As gitgudwit said. "Stealth is optional", but it's a bad idea and also you should dodge metal gear excelsus strikes and definitely DO NOT PARRY.. Just jump over the things because your get damaged a little when parrying he's attacks
Its been great seeing you play this, cant wait tlo see you give the DLC a try. The DLC is chosen from the main menue after you choose a profile. Not the customize screen. Also be sure not to select new game for Riden if you want to keep your unlocks. Doing so will reset all your upgrades and costumes, ect. The game will warn you of this if you try to do so. If you do want to replay the game again with your new gear which I highly recomend doing since there are a bunch of new swords and other things to find and play with, use the chapter select.
1, Excelsus looks more like a mantis than a spider. 2, while I can relate with a lot of what Armstrong's saying it Doesn't change that he's a lunatic and needs to be stopped.
I didn't know u could win without stopping his health regen, the way to stop it is to go behind him where the green spot is and go in blade mode and hit it but u managed to defeat him without that lol
I love Metal Gear Solid... Raiden in MGS4 is such an awesome character, with some of the best cutscenes in the game. :D ... so I couldn't resist using that skin in this game. :D
Rising Revengeance Raiden is OP AS FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRUH BODY SLAMMED A GIANT METAL PRAYING MANTIS AND SLASHED IT TO BITS WITH ITS OWN SWORD!!!!!!!!!!
Ok… not gonna lie… watching you continually smack him during his heal phase… while he very much has the Zandatsu symbol on him… That hurt me in my soul a little bit lol
The journey is finally over and safe to say everyone got the same experience when fighting armstrong for the first time. Get beaten to death or get rid of his 200% health pool
Second post, but here's the lyrics for the Metal Gear Excelsus fight... these very much go into Sen. Armstrong's mentality and motive.... [Verse 1A] The unenlightened masses They cannot make the judgement call Give up free will forever Their voices won’t be heard at all Display obedience While never stepping out of line And blindly swear allegiance Let your country control your mind (Let your country control your soul) [Verse 1B] Live in ignorance And purchase your happiness When blood and sweat is the real cost Thinking ceases, the truth is lost Don’t you worry You’ll be told exactly what to do I give my people the lives they need The righteous will succeed [Verse 2] The fires of greed will burn the weak So we’ll make freedom obsolete Making whole the fabric of society Collective consciousness controlled as you will see (Mind control) [Bridge] (Let your country control your soul) (Let your country control your soul) (Let your country control your soul) (Let your country control your soul...)

EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US.
My man every time Armstrong healed up you had to go behind him and use value mode to hit his back
Yeah I didn't piece that puzzle together... I got lucky once. xD
Amazing character and boss fight though! :D
Yeah so you know I didn't know either I just started running around him hitting him hoping he stop
Bro missed every fucking good interaction.
I didn't miss this one tho... ;)
@@RockyRockhead You got me there. I'd smash you rn
N A N O M A C H I N E S , S O N
Rocky: I love this guy he an idiot.
* 45 minutes later *
Armstrong : Who's the Idiot now?
Ok… not gonna lie… watching you continually smack him during his heal phase… while he very much has the Zandatsu symbol on him…
That hurt me in my soul a little bit lol
51:28 me when
The journey is finally over and safe to say everyone got the same experience when fighting armstrong for the first time. Get beaten to death or get rid of his 200% health pool
He came with the big fight and it was rough at times... but the music was great, his moveset was awesome and the end was very well done. :D
@@RockyRockhead the music really does the bosses a favor
without it it would just feel empty
34:29 ODA ODA ODA ODA ODA ODA ODA ODA ODA ODA ODA ODA ODA ODA ODA ODA ODAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huh, isn't Sunny's codec was avaible on this level?
59:59 Soooo The Senator will be your friend in the next game?
LOL I don't think there will be a next game... which is disappointing, but sometimes a one-off game is more iconic. :D
I love ❤ armstrong 🥵
Second post, but here's the lyrics for the Metal Gear Excelsus fight... these very much go into Sen. Armstrong's mentality and motive....
[Verse 1A]
The unenlightened masses
They cannot make the judgement call
Give up free will forever
Their voices won’t be heard at all
Display obedience
While never stepping out of line
And blindly swear allegiance
Let your country control your mind
(Let your country control your soul)
[Verse 1B]
Live in ignorance
And purchase your happiness
When blood and sweat is the real cost
Thinking ceases, the truth is lost
Don’t you worry
You’ll be told exactly what to do
I give my people the lives they need
The righteous will succeed
[Verse 2]
The fires of greed will burn the weak
So we’ll make freedom obsolete
Making whole the fabric of society
Collective consciousness controlled as you will see
(Mind control)
[Bridge]
(Let your country control your soul)
(Let your country control your soul)
(Let your country control your soul)
(Let your country control your soul...)
Hi Rocky, have you tried The Beginner's Guide? It's a very interesting game, you should check this one out
I watched Jacksepticeye play it back in the day. :D
