The COMPLETE Story of Raiden (Metal Gear Solid)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 авг 2024
- The Metal Gear franchise is an undisputed classic. However, the story can be a little confusing at times. So today I am here to make that story a little easier to understand. We already covered Solid Snake on a previous episode of Honest Gaming History. So now, it's time to cover the man that was meant to replace him, Raiden.
Honest Gaming History is a series where I take famous gaming characters or games in general and give you an easy-to-digest summary of the respective topic. In the comment section, let me know who else you want to see covered on a future episode.

I remember a time when everyone hated Raiden for taking the spotlight from Snake. I guess Raiden used an uno reverse card.
Lol yup
Kojima said: oh you don't like playing as Raiden, well now he's a cyborg ninja and you can't play as him, how'd you like that?
Kojima
Snake is just too much of a favourite. But Snake has always bet on Raiden being a badass and Raiden delivered. We all loved them both now. And with his Rivals and all, much like Snakes' enemies.
Raiden story awesome too. Masterpiece character all of times!
Raiden is the most badass character-and person overall-I’ve ever encountered
Yeah he's dope
Guts from Berserk is pretty badass
@@cottonginvideo has guts killed senator Armstrong? Nope
@@Chadius_Thundercock has raiden escaped a ritual where the invoker, the offerings, and the apostles that have gathered are taken to the Interstice known as a temporal junction point where the incorporeal God Hand manifest
@@onionrings8533 That a crap of bullshit
We need a new game for raiden
What if he came back alive somehow that will be awesome.
@@cry5049 he's not dead tho
MG Rising 2
H.P MCLOVINCRAFT fishnigga oh
Yep but konami would probably ruin it
What Metal Gear taught me:
1. *being a cyborg means you are immortal, quasi-unkillable man*
2. *badass's weapon will always be sword or gun*
3. *be like your hero*
4. *one-eyed guy will always be unstoppable*
And being a lone wolf means you are badass
well, Big Boss was one-eyed and got his ass kicked by solid snake
These are all true facts
Tell all this to Gray Fox
@@tomasbar1101 who turns out to still be alive after all that solid snake did to him, who's the badass now?
And IT HAS TI BE THUS WAYYY!!!!
Metal Gear Rising was one of my favourite Games of all time. I'm glad you covered it and actually gave Raiden the credit he deserves. He's a badass through and through.
Over course. I originally hated the dude. But after doing more research on him thanks to this video I now have more respect for him.
Yeah. People usually initially hate the characters that are openly Angsty and Emo.
But I personally like those kinds of characters. Call me an edgelord , but I love those characters. :P
Yeah people hated Raiden duo to him being the protagonist in MGS2 and not Snake. Now people love Raidens badass character.
Just like how people hated Nero from DMC4 because Dante wasnt the protagonist. Now Nero is loved by people in the upcoming DMC5 even tho he is the protagonist in DMC5.
Slowly people get more attached and connected even tho at first sight they hate the character.
It's always when they introduce new protagonists man. Especially of those protagonists are openly edgy and emo. Everyone seems to hate those characters. I personally love 'em.
Kin same bro.
I just feel like if the protagonist has a reason for being like they are, thats what gets me to like the protagonist.
I wouldnt want a no reason to be edgey like Dante from DmC: reboot.
Or a no reason to be so irritating character.
No matter how badass Raiden is he can't touch that cat even when he slows time down we all know who the bad ass is the platinum cat boi
Use a rocket launcher? Or can it defect the missile? XD
Is this a jojos reference

Raiden: “Hey, you look like Solid Snake.”
Pliskin: “But I’m not.”
Raiden: “You sound like him too...”
Pliskin: “But I don’t.”
Raiden”...okay.”
BRUHHH! Like how did he not catch on?
Maybe the nano machines in his head fuhked him up. Or he was being dumb.
@@TheBlackMastadonte Guess the atmosphere of the nonsense was so strong that it lows Raiden's detective skills. 🤦🏻
@@TheBlackMastadonte to be fair…that WAS jack’s first time meeting snake.
Mind if i cut in?
You also kind of skipped over an detail about Sam and Raidens relationship. Sam was technically a cyborg but only technically. The only cybernetic component of Sam was his his right arm. His "cyborg body" was actually more like an exosuit and still didn't do much for him. He was able to keep up with Raiden without being half robot.
And then he dies
At one point he fights with his bare hands
@@totallyawesome5458 which somehow makes him stronger with than he was with the sword
Also, his only enhancement that he has (his new arm after Armstrong cut off his whole one) actually is the reason his sword can be knocked out of his hand and weakens him, meaning his enhancement that gives superhuman powers made him WEAKER.
@@Ottavari no shit he survive brazil
Armstrong is more than just crazy. He's batshit INSANE!
Oh facts
Ahem.
RULES OF NATUREEEEEEEEEEE!
Because nobody did that here yet, for some reason.
Fuck that boss fight
I love that shit

Let's Beyblade! Let it rip!
@@KaitouKaiju god no please no...
Let it rip. Not let a rip.
F to pay respects to this man for covering Raiden and his complex lore
Yeah
I watched because i only played MGR:R so i needed lore
Meanwhile, all of the Snake lore:
WHAT?! Are you gonna forget Raiden turning back into Jack The Ripper when fighting Monsoon! That is one of the most important thing to happen in Metal Gear Revengeance! And don’t say it wasn’t important because if it wasn’t for him turning back into Jack The Ripper he wouldn’t have beat certain characters in the game. Kinda disappointing but good job on the video.
Jack The Ripper mode is pretty cool, but he can win every single battle without it. Because um ... I'm good at the game and don't need it?
Thats not the point...
He wouldn't be himself
Fuck thst monsoon boss fight
Or how he killed Sam the got his sword
@@AkiraSenjuTG just me who thinks the sam fight was infinitely harder than the monsoon fight?
You should do Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden series)
I'll add him to another poll.
@@TheBlackMastadonte thats great,super☺👍
"Thus saving America from the most insane president in history"
Sounds a lot like our current time lol
@@TheBlackMastadonte if only he was here when we needed him for Trump.
Raiden pull through
@@ten-thousandbees8453 Maybe trump has Nanomachines
The fact that Trump and Armstrong both use the “Make America Great Again” line was always troubling to me.
Ahh yes, the cyborg who lifted a Metal Gear Ray and threw it like a toy
Yeah and it was fucking badass and awesome
imagine an ant lifting you up by your finger and throwing you around lol
Cool video; Raiden's one of my favorite game characters
Here's a list of ya bois
1. Reboot Dante (DMC)
2. Delsin Rowe (inFAMOUS)
3. Bayoneta (Bayoneta)
4. Star Killer (Force Unleashed)
You know damn well he ain't cover anyone from the the DMC reboot
I'll add reboot Dante to a poll and we'll see what happens.
The Black Mastadonte do starkiller fam!
DMC reboot?? You mean DOnte??
After the events of Metal Gear Solid 2, its been assumed that Raiden went out to find and save Sunny from the Patriots as he wanted to keep Olga's dying wish.
I think that in rescuing Sunny, he paid a huge price that resulted in him becoming the Ninja Cyborg he is now.
They deadass need a sequel to MG:Rising
That's unlikely bro
@@abnormalguy6269 wait really
Abnormal Guy oh damn
Unfortunately the game is owned by Konami, the company which as good as listening to its fans like EA or Nintendo
Do Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden Series)
I really enjoy you giving the background to our favorite gaming characters. I appreciate you effort to giving us all the info on the game characters.
Thanks bro
This should have been mgs5 made by Kojima. This would have been serious and legendary. The story of him saving sunny and his rescue from the Patriots would have been nice.
I feels that
That was actually the original idea for Rising.
Fun fact: Metal Gear Rising was close to being a Hideo Kojima game. However, due to problems, Metal Gear Rising was canceled by Kojima production, but was later taken by another group and full finished
Konami really hates Kojima, don’t they?
nope, he made his team "make a Raiden game and do whatever you want" and left. Kojima Productions weren't able to fulfil their ambitions of a fast paced action game so they had to hand it over to Platinum Games with Kojima overseeing the script
It was going to be one of the best MGS games but we still got a good game from Platinum, however compared to the demo we got I'd take that demo and style over what we got. It still felt like another Platinum game
@@Garland846 makes sense.
Now that I think about, with so much focus on blades, could Raiden be considered a master swordsman to an extent, at least by the end of revengeance? Not as good good as Sam obviously, but still?
The end credit makes it seem like Raiden took Armstrong's message to heart, not the whole war thing, but the carving your own path thing. I mean he directly quotes Armstrong
Conscience is coming back?!?! Yeaaaaaaa boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
YEAH BOIIIII
Wesley Haynes ya aaaaaaa a boyyyyyy
Yeah boiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Great vid as always. Glad there's someone who can breakdown and make sense of this legendary crazy ass amazing game series.😅😅😅😅😅
Thanks, bro
The Black Mastadonte
Any time. I like your History vids the most.
MGS2: "EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE! EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE! EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE! EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE!"
MGS4: "ROOOOOOOOOOOOSE!"
MGRR: "Let's Dance!"
Bruh I just subscribed this afternoon and boom, a vid about one of my favorite characters in video game history.
Nice! Take this as me welcoming you to the family.
Welp..........
Can't have that
ASURA NEXT
Hell yeah
This actually taught me so much I was so confused thanks a lot
No problem! Thanks for watching!!
I just drew raiden as a guy in a tuxedo covered in blood holding a sign saying
Will grant anything for your juicy spine
Have fun with those visuals
Yes, I like that
Jack the Ripper mode undefeated
Putting 1300 hours into rising revengence.(no lie) and like 1 hour of every other mg.. I love this video. ❤
The world powerful ninja RYU HAYABUSA (Ninja Gaiden series)
ninjacutter 497 no he’s not, he’s weak as fuck.
I like how raiden survived getting crushed by a submarine and survived drowning.
i think the more im interested in the character you're talking about the more i enjoy the video. this one was great. and i understand how complex the Metal Gear series are to explain, i think you did a great job! only thing i'd reccommend is not to worry about the lenght of the video, since you're pretty enjoying to watch, i'd say just make the episode as long as it needs to be .(and i understand that you put a lot of work into these videos but i think that 1 great video a month i better that 4 mediocre videos a month) keep up the great work.
thanks so much for the feedback, bro
Quick note, they also said in MGS4 that sometime between MGS2 and 4 Raiden and Snake rescued Sunny (Olga's child) from the Patriots.
*Also, even though Rising doesn't technically count, it's still nice you added it.
Yeah. i remembered that part. I ended up skipping it only because i knew the script was going to end up being too long.
Next honest gaming history should be the prince of Persia
Escape from New York, the movie, is the basis of MGS. The protagonists' name is Snake Plissken.
Oh wow. Okay I gotta look into that
@@TheBlackMastadonte Yeah, I heard the director of the MGS franchise loved the movie so the inspiration for Snake came from the movie.
ruclips.net/video/ACXOhRIe-s4/видео.html
Jetstream Sam is the coolest nickname in history.....bruh!!!
I think that Jetstream, Sam did not have any cybernetic parts on him, Raiden says that after he kills Sam, overall it is an amazing video.
His arm is cyborg
Vin Sama He was fully human in the DLC.
@@itsjustvin7630 his arm is an exo
@@KaitouKaiju in dlc yes. In the main game no.
He deserves a game which show what happened to him after the MGS2 events
This experience was so clear, funny and good! please make more
Thank you!!
Why do we still not having a sequel to Metal Gear Rising?
Konami fired kojima
its a shame Konami fired Kojima. i'd love to have seen more done with his raiden in other games.
Am I the only one that noticed this game was able to tell the future for Donald trump being president and the make America great again line by senator Armstrong in the final boss battle and the materialism,nationalism stuff it is so spot on to what trump did
I usually don't speak on politics, but I thought the same thing.
Hilarious that I'm playing MGS2: Substance a day after this video.
MA BOI RAIDEN!!
I love these videos of yours is so entertaining to watch Plus you make a point
Thanks for that
Can you do starkiller from the force unleashed
Noted
Yes Starkiller
I second this.
Thank you. I know you like op characters
star falcon STARKILLER VS ALL THE Rebellion and Empire. My god he would just vaporized the fuck out of them without having to try at all plus he wouldn’t have to pull out his lightsaber.
The best part of the Tanker mission is the sole fact that Liquid was actually never inside of Ocelot's mind. Ocelot was acting the entire time to overthrow the Patriots
Anytime I type in something I love, I swear you always have a video on it. Peace brother, we appreciate you! 🙏🏾
After all that shit. Him saying fuck it and loving his family makes sense
Facts
You gotta do my boi Ryu Hayabusa
Titanic... Jack and Rose
Ya know now i am sad Raiden wasnt at all mentioned in the plot of mgsv like even a little word like a soldier saying
"You heard of that one killer kid?"
"You mean that kid Jack?"
"Yeah heard he was killing grown men on the field"
But im not good with the mgs timeline so he might of not of been born at the time so ye
They honestly kind of just dropped Raiden as a character. It's a shame because he was dope.
he was in ground zeroes
*arrives on Metal Gear Ray*
I just wanted to say your locs are dope.
Also, the video is amazing
*subscribes*
K thx bye.
*rides MG Ray into the sunset. Rules of Nature plays in the distance*
Thanks so much man
I love these Honest Gaming History vids! Entertaining AF😄😄
Thanks bro
My nigga ive watch this whole playlist, time after time. And it never gets old, especially with some good home cooking!!! Thank u for all u do, and dont stop growing
Thank YOU for watching, bro!
Armstrong for 2020! Luv the vids man :)
Lmao nawwww. But thank you
Can you do Agent 47 of Hitman
I'll start doing my research.
Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden please. (Also if you can, mention the Halo 3 armor as well in that video)
Really sucks to see people only mention the things Raiden did in MGRR and ignore the stuff he did in MGS
If ever the words
“Metal Gear” anything come up you’re in for a story maybe a multi path one but a damn good thought provoking one
The 3rd time that girl lied was most likely did it out of good intention
Dope video. MGSV was my first mg game and I am trying to digest all of this. Your video helped lots. Whats with all the DB pictures and references though? Kinda took away from the mg story and was a bit distracting.
Just for comedic effect, but thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for this video! My bf's favorite video games character is Raiden and i wanted to know all his lore to impress him! :)
No prob
Everybody gangsta till raiden leta rips
You right
Honest Gaming History is so cool 😎 I love how it is going😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks man.

Metal Gear Solid 2 in a nutshell.
Raidens life is more complicated more than metal gear solid V
Lol yup
and 2022 appears and now raiden is a name everyone knows
Raidens story is so fucking great
I love conscience nice video bruh keep going
Thank you!
The Tragedy of Raiden
On a funny note, this is how I remember mgs 2 and 4 playing out
Mgs 2 "blaahhhhh I hate Raiden where's Snake???"
Mgs 4 "man snake is old and slow I wanna use Raiden" sometime after seeing his introduction cut scene 🤦
Bro this was a dope video about Raiden's story! MGS is an all-time classic!!
Imagine a NEW METAL GEAR GAME WITH RAIDEN AS THE MC AGAIN...DUDE THAT'D BE AWESOME...IMAGINE PLAYING MGRS WITH 2018 GFX...JESUS....LAWD ALMIGHTY
Can we get one for Master Chief? Plz
Dude, 20 years ago, I had this game for my ps2, great times
Really Hope they do a Game on how He went from Bitch to Beastly Cyborg Boss like they originally planed but we got Revengeance instead (Still an Amazing Game).
+IVAN GREY That would be dope. They could've done better with this character.
Do our boi Ratchet and Clank
I'll add them to a poll.
Good stuff dude! This is my 1st time seeing your vids and I'm here for it!
Thank you!! Welcome to the fam!!
This video really helped me with understanding metal gear.
Subscribed!
“Trifling” 🤔🤣
Wow.. Imagine Armstrong was real and actually became president in 2020😂😂
Well lot of crazy shit happened behind the scenes of the worlds. So I’m not surprised at this point. Even aliens came into contact with trump? WTH 😂
Imagine jack clapping cheeks and rose turns around and moans "I'm a spy jack"
The moment I saw Raiden’s new look in MGS4 I was like ”yup, he’s my favorite character now”
Yo Donte coming thru with the mgs video
You already know, boi!!
Am i the only one who cant follow this convoluted story
It is VERY complicated lol
Madden Moneyshot MGS2 is the most confusing game of all time lol
The MGS series is the most confusing series of all time.
I mean, Big Boss died, but didn't, but did, but didn't, but did. Zanzibar Land is a crazy place, and Liquid Ocelot isn't real, instead just Revolver Ocelot with a Liquid arm, Kojima likes to insert his massive Snake into our brains and spray his FoxDIE all over it. I love Kojima, no hetero.
Aye concious is coming back FINALLY
yup yup!!
Now raiden is popular and its fun to watch this later on
Raiden should've been in Super Smash Bros too
Im surprised they never made a reboot of metal gear rising. Or second part .
Fun fact (or maybe not): Raiden is gray-haired because he has experienced way too many pain, suffering, violence, kills, accidents, murders and assassinations in his life, especially in his "childhood"
The feeling I got from playing mgs 1-2-and 3 a long time ago when thy first came out is unforgettable
RULES OF NATURE
