Mainly, Sam had a moral code like Raiden, Which was broken by Senator Armstrong as shown in the DLC. After that, "The Only Thing *He* Knew For Real" was fighting and "Blood! Shed!". He had a constant want for someone strong enough to take over his morality, and just the thrill of a fight. That's Jetstream Sam in a nutshell.
@@Elricsedric all across the game "memes" are passed on whenever you beat a boss. for example, when you kill monsoon you show your true "nature", being jack the ripper and wanting to kill people. therefore him passing his "meme" to you, but mostly the ladder.
this resurgence of interest for this game lately warms my heart, I was 13 years old when this game came out, needless to say that this was one the most awesome sickest game ever for a boy that age
Same bro I saw my cousin playing it when I was 13 in like 2016 a while after it came out actually because he was replaying and bro was it just awesome, I couldn't get enough of it.
"Sam fights just for fighting" That's sooo wrong, the character development of these bosses are on the songs, he lost his purpose, the lyrics explain exactly what happened, this game is a masterpiece with songs that are masterpieces themselves
Hows thats wrong? Sam is fighting just because, the song is about that, he lost all drive and motivation ever since armstrong defeated him, he then started working with them because might is right and he was just following armstrong ideals of a better america ruled by the strong, thats the entire point of the song he climbed this mountain of armstrong ambitions
I wonder how many people ever fought Sundowner in a 'proper' way. Breaking his shields. I kinda wish he was actually invincible with them) maybe when he isn't shielding they protect him and deflect your attacks. Orhe could just drop them at 50-75% hp.
I remember being the slightest bit off on the angle of the slice and easily died 70 times. Broke 2 controllers by holding them too strongly and the buttons just gave.
I love when he's thanking people for subs and he's like " thanks testiculartennisplayer , thanks bungholebungalo , preciate it manchildsdad thanks for the gift sub Tom ... " 🤣🤣
@@SultrySyx why does it piss you off? Some dont want to constantly thank people for doing something in their free will. And some dont want to watch a streamer constantly thanking someone.
I love how the slice time mode lets you cut down the entire length of a helicopter, but more than an arm's length from the point of contact means no hit at all
Charlie/MoistCritikal/Penguinz0 getting stuck on Sundowner for the longest time with a big death count is mind boggling, he was playing MGR on hard for sure, but the funny thing is he barely died from the previous bosses at all (except LQ-84I Wolf).
Tbf I think it’s because his fuel meter was never upgraded bc he saved up for the fox blade. It seemed like he had very little time to line up his blade to hit the shield which was also why he was getting really frustrated. Haven’t watched the whole vod yet, but when he gets to armstrong I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets stuck on the part where he has to slice through what he throughs at you
Charlie you should do a playthrough of the Shenmue series, 1 and 2 for sure. The unintentional comedy aspect tangled with the 200 IQ detective work and fun action sequences is perfect for your stream and vod i feel.
So, since many love Sam's character and of course want to know his deal. Also since its been so long since I have played this amazing game. I wanted to know if someone made a good lore video that wasn't full of BS sad attempts at making connections. Well the video "The glory of JetStream Sam" gave me what I needed and even called out something I never noticed?! The lyrics in his boss fight and the final boss stop completely when the blade is not in hand. He also explains why, it's a great video that I highly recommend!
that same guy made a glory video about a side character who only has 1 fight and gets cut in half, not saying who for spoiler reasons but that guy can be pretty stupid sometimes
WAIT WHAT , SUNDUWNER CAN PICK UP THOSE GIAND THINGS IN SECOND PHASE ???!?!??! I replayed this game on hardest dfclty without dmg twice and never seen this
I looked up the fox blade and saw it was just super powerful. If you wanna do big combos, avoid using it, but if you're just pressing buttons then it seems really nice Also for anyone playing the game, you can't use stinger (Lightening strike) if you use the pole arm Edit: saw a boss fight vid and saw that HF blade is nice for spamming blade mode cancels for just making shit up. Wonder how other blades will change the game for me
I played the game three times (prob four for completion) Once first try Once again mostly using blade and mistraels weapon (which is amazing) And one more as fox… his weapon is so broken… the cows take one or two hits it’s amazing and Ngl fun
Ngl it is the main reason I stick with the katana, after dumping points into moves for the HF blade I’m not gonna swap to another weapon that I need to get more moves for if I can’t switch on the fly, just feels like giving myself two underwhelming weapons (seeing as it feels like I miss out on half the move set of the katana and what feels like an entire attack string for other weapons). What if love to see is a remaster of this with some quality of life changes, something akin to the DMC weapon switching would be rad but I struggle to think of how to incorporate such a thing fluidly in a game that already has its design set with heavy emphasis elsewhere. But I digress.
@@mynamesnotrick6632 If there is ever extra content for this game, just more Sam missions or even having Sam and Dog playable on Raiden missions would be sick
Honestly the best weapon IMO is the STUN Blade. You've gotta collect all the data chips to even unlock it. Just watched a video on where they were and went to the chapters to collect them. They save and persist so you don't have to finish the level. But basically each hit gives you a chance to just outright STUN almost every if not EVERY non-boss enemy which gives you the immediate YB prompt to enter blade mode. That was the blade I used when speeding through levels with no damage to S rank the whole game on Revengence Pair the Stun Blade and the stun you get for Monsoons secondary weapon that pulls you in and stuns them it's basically an infinite on something that doesn't die within a few hits
Bro I played this game back when I was in a delirium from a car wreck. This game holds alot to me and was the first game I bought for PS3 fuckin love this game and the nostalgia is real
Sam didn't want raiden to win. He still wanted what armstrong wanted but had his doubts. So just as he said he'll let fate decide. Just like armstrong he too believes that might makes right. So if he wins then Armstrong is right but if Raiden wins then raiden was right.
I think Charlie shouldn't play with the mind of the speedrunner because was ego fighting to sundowner, and doesn't care about something else only focus on the main objects. You can feel it right? Like he messed up so many times because of that. I do enjoy his gameplay but I don't really like the speedrunner playstyle in times like that
@@gotworc I know, I said it mainly for the memes. But the main thing is that around that time, mgr wasn't such a powerhouse for memes. When I played it for the first time most of the absurdity went right over my head (as it did to many others) so playing now should give a new insight on the human condition, as we are now older, and hopefully, wiser
I made the same mistake he did playing through the first time, I didn't upgrade my sword as much as I should've and struggled a lot with blade mode in boss fights. Like if you level up absorption and energy on your sword, blade mode is SOOO much more effective. You can stay in it for minutes at a time and you get it back in like 3-4 swings. Surprised he didn't upgrade his sword or notice that he's struggling with blade mode and figure out why
The Mastiffs (gorilla mechs) are an absolute nightmare on Revengeance mode. You enter a level that contains Mastiffs and before you've gone three steps they're flying feet first towards your head with laser accuracy
Seeing charlie say that a game I first played as a demo on a fucking ps3 years ago has "The best ending ever" really warms my soul, as a long time MGR fan, I never knew more than 30 people liked this game
Charlie is a better player than me lol, I struggled so hard playing this game at hard despite buying some of the upgrades and skills instead of saving up to buy the weapon. I played on PC with mouse and keyboard I struggled to parry until I eventually know how to use it better.
I remember using my big brothers account to play video games on my Xbox because he had a membership and I didn’t. Somehow I can (still can. My Xbox is sitting on a table rn tho since I’ve been too busy to use it sadly) do it on my account and have his signed in as well Idfk how it just exists, so no save file gets erased or maybe I just wanted to use my account. Little me saw this game and got obsessed with it so my brother played it and tried having the patience to teach me but I honestly was much more invested in the plot than anything else and looking back I started to remember this game and still love it because of how amazing everything about it was. Definitely still spend time with my brother but we both live different lives, he has a job and gets home towards the evening sometimes passes out like a log when he gets inside. But he still tries to spend time with me like we used to, might ask if he wants to play this game again with me and this time I’ll care about fighting because I’ve grown a bit and I’m not scared of things I used to be.

Hi jetstream Sam I’m jetstream sam
Btw on Monsoon you can actually parry his smoke attacks causing him to cancel it early, just a quick tip for anyone playing through it :)
At this point you can parry anything. EVEN FREAKING BULLETS
You can parry anything that isn't gold or explosive, have fun with that

i always have, its spelled out to you that you can split and destroy his shield by boris so its what i always did and still do
I mean what really is a "proper" way, I think its more of a chance for the player to use their brain to strategize. A wall only has 2 sides.
@@awsomer76 it's 100% the intended way. Phase 2 doesn't happen unless you break those shields

I love how the slice time mode lets you cut down the entire length of a helicopter, but more than an arm's length from the point of contact means no hit at all
It's mostly because of the sword since it cuts all the molecule in the blade s direction
HF Swords do that.
the sundowner fight was so painful what the fuck
fr lol
I kinda hated it even though its one of my favorite bosses and all because he decided to save for the sword and didn't upgrade the sword or his body
He was so mad that he blamed chat for losing lol
and generally ignoring most of the health pickups/boxes containing them
Lmao watching Charlie argue with the chat live felt like a fever dream
If he didnt beforehand he now knows "The only thing I know for real" off by heart
Jackass ad pops up and ends
Charlie: that's enough of those guys they're professionals.
Timing was on point
Jackass is hilarious

@@ProunceProudly you were correct, I watched him fight armstrong live and watching him die to the boulders over and over was painful
he almost did it the 2nd attempt but chat insisted he followed the gimmick which was the only difficulty of the boss

Nah pincer blades are broken if fully upgraded. If you get a combo on a boss it obliterates their health. Beat sam on hard without dying once with em

Yeah. Even on revengeance he’s just sad tbh. Best song imo, but the fight can be so easily cleared by just going around the wall.
I actually waited to take out all of his shields without damaging him, it made the fight a lot more engaging.
Yeah you can slide underneath and slowmo and hack them up too! Its cool to have him swing a pillar at you just to chop it to pieces.
I looked up the fox blade and saw it was just super powerful. If you wanna do big combos, avoid using it, but if you're just pressing buttons then it seems really nice

You can release the thumb stick and you should auto attack without having to press the button, makes it easier to do them precice Zandatsu attacks

How come the Armstrong fight isn't in this? Also is there a video of Charlie playing it on here?????
Havent found it yet. I just know the compilation video is on his main channel

so im gonna assume he didnt know how to walk around in blade mode
my fav game from my childhood. love this
Standing here I realize
Huge charles is actually a pro gamer. No joke
Uhm who gifted 10 subs in my honor? Do I need to call my bank?
He gonna play phantom pain?
we need the next vod charles

so much for a shorts channel lol. love it

wheres the end?

Is there another part coming out?
39:00 So why did they put away their guns?😂
Which is more cringe chat or comments section
charlie was quite the dumbass to go for the fox blade, you're supposed to get that after finishing the game man.
Gonk :]
so is the joke in the title that Charlie doesn't upload the ending or is that coming later?
I just woke up D'x
I never super-focused on Stealth, but Jesus Christ he gives less and less of a shit the more the game goes on 💀 Good job 👍 … -_-
Wow it's like Charly suddenly forgot how blade mode even worked at the Sundowner fight damn
Does any else remember playing PlayStation all stars. I just got reminded it because of Monsoon fight because of Jack going Ripper mode.
Reminds me of "Nano breaker".
How my man at 39:00 ganna say deadly force is authorized and then put away his gun and pull out a baton, against a cyborg with a katana nonetheless
