Speaking against MGR boss music must be Yahtzee’s worst opinion ever
Agreed. The music is amazing.
Agreed
Yes
I think what Yahtzee meant about the boss music is that it gets annoying when you're just dying over and over, trying to learn the parry.
Taste exists ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"goes on about right wing politics for 20 minutes before body slamming anyone who disagrees"
id watch alot more news if governments were run by nothing but Senator Armstrongs
"Don't fuck with this Senator!"
*trump body slams biden as biden jumps up to throw a sky scraper at trump*
Now THAT is how you make debate interesting
I'd vote for him & I'm not even American.
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
@Dorian Judah Instablaster =)
He hated the boss music?
.....
how...
Because MGR is to Metal what Sonic is to Rock; Shitty and catchy to the point where you love it anyway.
+LudentisGames Not liking the Revengeance soundtrack is grounds for every year between 2002 and 2010 to come to your house and beat you up in an unironically edgy and overly-emotional boss-rush.
+LudentisGames The boss fight music is half the reason I played the game.
I'd start getting really frustrated about being stun locked by robots spamming missiles at me and the silly ass cut scenes - and just as I feel like its getting too much for me i'd find myself throwing a robot dinosaur in the air and chopping it in half while there's a JRock song in the background screaming about the will to survive and my butt cheeks would start to violently tingle with excitement.
Its noise.
Its pure amazing incredible noise that takes you to a 4th 5th and 6th dimension
But its still jus noise.
the boss music got me fuckin pumped and I usually just listen to rap and classic rock
This game has aged like fine wine. There just aren't many games now that are made purely for fun. Everything is over the top and it's great. And also the main villian has sadly become less of a caricature over time...
10/10 would vote for Senator Armstrong in real life.
I legit believe that if Armstrong ran for President in the real world he'd be voted in by electoral despite hogging everyone's attention and do his best to seem like he's doing good work but in reality he'd drag America through the mud even more.
@@infinitypilot embarassing opinion
@@pogopenguin Weakest Armstrong supporter > strongest Armstrong opposer
Sorry. Sorry, buddy, but that's just math.
@@infinitypilot Why?
Revengeance is actually a real word that means exactly what it sounds like, it's just not commonly used. It was added to the Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary in 1913. True story.
Oh look, it's a Warfighter (pa ha ha) scenario again :P
Ah so it was the 100th anniversary when this came out
Wow, now *this* I didn't know. Thanks for the elucidation.
@@DoratTheKiller the more you know.
Not really how "real words" work. _~insipid nerd voice~_ tRuE sToRy
3:18 nine years and no new appearances later, raiden did in fact become a beloved character
I mean, there were always people who liked him, and they were always a niche part of the fans, and so no, nothing has changed
@@MegaZeta But the game *is* recognizable and Raiden *is* a beloved character within the "meme/internet culture". I haven't even played any of mgs games and I'm largely familiar with "REVENGEANCE", mostly because Rules of Nature just happens to be the most iconic game ost since the DRAGONBORN. Oh there's like a bunch of memes about it, especially 2 years ago, it was fucking everywhere.
Hideo Kojima didn't write Revengeance. He only produced it and oversaw the project from what I remember.
TimeKeeper25
Then what did he do? I thought he was at least involved somehow.
Cat Knight He created Metal Gear. That’s about the extent of his involvement of Revengeance, outside of suggesting to Konami that Platinum save the game.
He did write the core plot, but P* modified it to make the gameplay more fun.
@@lemonov3031 kojimas version was supposed to be a prequel to MGS4
but platinum games didn do that so they can have narrative freedom without conflicting lore since kojimas team abandoned the project
hes a figure head at this point
I got two words for you: Nanomachines, son.
Oh-I got another. Don't fuck with this Senator!
Adrian Shephard Played college football, you know.

*COULDA GONE PRO IF I HADN'T JOINED THE NAVY*
Yahtzee: (Dislikes the boss music)
Everyone: yOU WHAT?
Jesus Christ, he wasn't lying. I checked out a video of the final boss fight, and it is literally Ninja Cyborg Scooby-Doo gang vs. Republican Hulk Hogan. I couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculous and over-the-top the whole thing was.
And it is fucking awesome
Brotmeister And you wanna know the best part? When asked why he was so tough, and I'm not even kidding here, the senator LITERALLY said "Nanomachines, son!"
Yeah, it's kind of out of place, I mean MGS series have always had such serious villains like a gay russian army man who shoots lighting bolts and president who wears dr octopus suit, oh never mind.
It's supposed to be over the top and stupid. When Raiden asks armstrong why he is so tough, he literally says; "nanomachines, son" and it's freaking AWESOME. Dude, you should really play the gsme.
he tear of the arm of a giant robot, use it as a sword, you get kicked like a fucking football (supported by soundeffects and all) the boss throws tanks at you, and you have the epic final save by scooby. it's the cheesiest most ridiculous thing imaginable, but this is a game where you lift a giant mech and/or cut it in half like nothing as your first boss - it's great
Hey, everybody hating on Yahtzee for "hating" on this game: HE NAMED IT FIFTH BEST OF 2013. He's a critic. It would be weird if he didn't criticize things.
Edward Bottle he has said time and time again, that he dont normally praise a game, because people dont want him to, so he is overcritical of most games in this reviews, even when he doesnt actually think that... i belive this and the uncharted series are good examples of that...
Edward Bottle I'm pretty sure in one video he said that what he basically does in most reviews is just find the smallest spec of shit and inflate it to the size of my dumps after a night of Taco Bell.
+Edward Bottle I think we can treat every game like what he says in Arkham Asylum: anything he doesn't complain about can be considered to be at least basically alright, if not good.
+Edward Bottle call me when hes first
+Edward Bottle I loved the game, and he's right about everything. However, it has been noted thoroughly that this game wouldn't have had a leg to stand on if the team from Bayonetta didn't jump onboard for the combat system. Kojima's got respect, and he's got pull so no he isn't quite popping out $5 bin trash just yet. Still pissed about MGS5 though. That wasn't his fault, so I can't be mad at Kojima for that. What I can be mad about is keeping the OG voice actor for Snake in Japan while our American versions were shorted 1 beloved Hayter in exchange for the Young Guns' Sam Fischer: Keifer Sutherland. Shamefur dispray!
I like how the “bottle of commercial energy drink they all seem to have inside of their spine” is a fairly reasonable response to the healing mechanic in the game.
"imaging watching something like, say, Ghost in the Shell, but right before the end you sit on the remote and the TV switches over to an episode of Biker Mice from Mars or Dragon Ball Z where the special guest villain turns out to be Hulk Hogan who goes on about how awesome right-wing policies are for twenty minutes before doing body slams on anyone who disagrees." .........................................................BEST. DESCRIPTION. OF ARMSTRONG. EVER.
Doesn't even write his own speeches. Tsk tsk
+I'd johnson Who is this "Hulk Hogen" you speak of? That person has never existed ever.
+jd johnson dont fuck with the senator
ArmstrongMania was running wild
+Rhigull03 He meant Cull Kogan
The boss at the end of MGR was the highlight of the whole game! It was like a punchline, all those serious bosses with long droning speeches and creative designs, to be topped by a muscle man in a suit!
The final boss is the best boss fight i experienced in years, hes big, has multible forms and is actually challenging!
Play some old castlevania and everything you just said is a bad point. :D
Well I know castlevania, thats why I said in years and not something like in all my life.
I meant that i got bored after my twentythst try to beat the final boss. :)
sry for wrong grammar
Well ok I get that but people never got bored of dark souls or demon souls thats kind of a mistery xD
The final boss is a lot more threatening when he steps out of the tank, then even more threatening when he takes his shirt off.
Are we sure this isn't actually a Yakuza game?
That's why I love Yahtzee:
no matter how critically-acclaimed a game is, he'll find a way to rip it a new one.
I love Revengeance, and this was hilarious/honestly true.
Felt like it was just reviewing the story. It was not really the focus of this game
+Alucard94able
Probably because MGR's gameplay was so perfectly in the middle there wasn't a lot to mention. He touched on the Parry, cutting fools, and the shit stealth so there's not a lot to talk about beyond that.
+Commander Convoy Yahtzee is odd: sometimes he rips 100 new asses on half decent games while other times he only rips half an ass from horrible games (see his Walking dead survival instincts).
Crazy Jay you make a good point aside from the parry and stealth it is a standard platinum made game.
+Alucard94able correct me if I'm wrong, since I haven't played any Metal Gear games, but isn't the story the reason people like the series?
I heard 'turn off the boss music' and that's when I flipped my shit.
The parry mechanic is simple yet challenging. The only difficult part is figuring out which attacks hit you because they're unparryable and which ones hit you because you suck at parrying.
Also, the end of the boss fight against the lady with multiple robot arms is surreal. I sliced her into about 18 million pieces, then that pile of pieces somehow talked sadly on the radio for five minutes to her partner. Her conversation would have been touching if i could have stopped laughing.
You can parry red, you run from yellow, simple as that
Now, this isn't official, but my theory is that almost all cybernetics have a funtion that if the person is mortally wounded, it does everything in it's power to protect the brain
In the opening cutscene we see a soldier get cut down in first person and a quick thing shows some brain related mechanism being activated, so presumably either their conciousness is uploaded to a server or their brain lives for a few minutes until it's rescued or something.
This also why Sam doesn't get that final radio message, because he has no cybernetics and therefore actually just dies when killed (I know what I said), so despite being decapitated, they can live on for a bit. Furthermore how else would Monsoon work, since he can detach his head at will, at least for some time.
That might also be the reason for the rematch against the "AI" Mistral and Monsoon, who's damaged brains or recovered conciousness is stuck into a new fully robotic body to stop Raiden
@@Leffrey It actually is mentioned in the game, as long as the brain is supplied with oxygen, cyborg can pretty much survive anything, including decapitations. It's basically a brain in a shell with emergency oxygen supply, so they can live even for up to hours as just brains. The twins at the start (called Gemini twins, because of course) of the game survive like this.
Now this doesn't make as much sense when you can chop even their head into several pieces, but eh, gameplay vs lore.
THE BOSS MUSIC IS FANTASTIC
its shit
+Rüshiera Are you sure you have ears?
IT'S THE ONLY THING I'VE EVER KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWN
Myrmeleo after going through MGR, i wish i didnt
Eh...it was annoying. I really liked the atmospheric music in some of the cutscenes, but I ended up playing the game on mute whenever there were vocals to it.
" so i turned off the boss music"- got it, Yahtzee has no taste.
Im sorry but, while the lyrics ARE kinda cringy, the beats themselves are actually amazing
Fun fact: The lyrics actually tell the story of each character you fight, or elaborates on them! Mistral felt like an outcast in a foreign land but believes only the battlefield is her home, Monsoon was a deeply broken nihilistic man who's theme describes a gentle rain trying to wash a man's suffering away, only to turn into a violent storm when the gentle rainfall doesn't work. Sundowner's theme shows that he is somewhat of an environmentalist who believes returning to warfare is the best way for humanity to return to their inner nature. He also laments the overuse of the earth's resources. Sam's theme describes that he's lost his reason for fighting, and only fights because that's how he feels he NEEDS to live, and the fight with Armstrong is actually sung from Raiden's perspective, and explains that it's two men who are fighting for the same ideals, but disagree on the means to get there. Only one of them can survive to carry out their plan. Very interesting stuff!
@@thegirthquake8574 oh yeah I know. But some of the specific workings are a little cringe. They arent bad though
@@thegirthquake8574 The last song isn't from Raiden's perspective, he completely blames Armstrong for what's happened and it's important that he never actually sees himself as the same as the guys he's fighting because it's what lets him still play the role of a hero to kids like Sunny. Armstrong is the one who believes that all this bloodshed will give birth to a stronger society and he's the one who acknowledges Raiden as a kindred spirit because his disregard of the law and the lives of everyone in his way in order to do what he thought was right is exactly what Armstrong was hoping to build.
@@madmintentertainment6268 ...CringeWORTHY, not cringe.
Also, taste exists, if he doesn't like hard technometal type music, that's perfectly acceptable. He's also not gonna judge the instrumental of a song with lyrics, that's not the whole song and it's not in the game lol
@@ASR-Ansori monsoon and mistral AI fight?
ok, i will admit that this game and scooby doo have a lot in common, BUT BLADE WOLF IS FREAKING AWESOME! IT'S A ROBOT DOG WITH A CHAINSAW ON IT'S BACK!
IT'S BACK?!
CrimsonVocals Dammit Bernard you're not Snake!
I'm a happy go lucky scamp! Now fetch me my lolly! Alright, I'll stop. I'm a quitter. I come from a long line of quitters. It's amazing I'm here at all.
One would assume that lacking the word "solid" in the title, you'd note that it's a spinoff. Or the fact that it's developed by Platinum, who have a long history of making games of this sort.
***** Sundowner's mightiest weapon isn't his pincer, or the army he commands. It's his manface and collection of baseball caps.
The soundtrack for this game is the first I've ever paid for to get on disc.
*RULES OF NATURE!!!!*
And they run when the sun comes up, with their lives on the line. (I always see the "Raiden, Stahp that blade" part when I hear this segment of the song.)

@@Synthetic_Strigiforme Oh, my name is just a reference to Cannibal Corpse song.
The final boss of this game was craziest, most hilarious curveball I think I've ever seen in a game. I honestly laughed through the whole damn thing.
Kinda feel like that was what they wanted. They definitely didn't want us taking this one too seriously and just wanted to make a badass crazy action game
7 years on and we can say something for real: it was 100% fucking with us, and its amazing in its lack of sanity or anything resembling a coherent narative
Except no, that's completely wrong. It has a bog-standard narrative that's just decorated with "wacky" elements.
@@MegaZeta Eqaully wrong, just from the other end

Guys, this is Yahtzee's 5th Game of the Year... I was surprised too....
***** No.....just no.
***** Well I'm surprised that it's even on Yahtzee's list. It's a great game but certainly doesn't deserve number 1 at least in my opinion. But then again, he also find The Last of Us and Tomb Raider pretty good even though it was true for The Last of Us, it wasn't so much for Tomb Raider (IMO)
***** lol I already left my rant about this game, anyone with a brain can see this games faults, I have played worse, but I have come to expect more from a title with Metal Gear in it, and if you stopped fan boy teen bonering over it for a second I think you could see some pretty shitty things in this game as well.
***** I haven't bothered with the last Saints Row, however, Assassins Creed 4 was more fun then this game, They could have dropped the assassin aspect of it if they wanted to, but I'm sorry, being a pirate was fun as shit, I was not sure about black flag, but I was actually pleasantly surprised. Bioshock infinite was better than this crap by a long shot, a little repetitive maybe (Rising could get an award for repetition), but the pacing and the awesome environment and setting makes up for it. besides the fact that at least 2 out of 3 of the games you chose are better then this crap, all 3 were completely different genres lol, thats like if I were to start talking about crappy Super Mario world is because I can't shoot stuff like in Doom.
***** Ahh but neither are yours friend, and I'm sorry but it is a FACT that what we got in rising was a leftover concept that was pushed off to Platinum, that considered, it could have been WAY Worse, but overall it is a disappointment, and all I can see when I play it is wasted potential with a bunch of pointless flair pasted all over the place, fun for a minute but I had to push myself through the majority of the game to even give it a decent chance.
I love the boss music. It's what made the game for me.
+Alex lol he talks about the boss music sucking and he features that St. Anger-esque horrific riff and solo in his outro.
Boss music was nice, but I prefer orgasms caused by you and Sir Fur. Impressive.
Alex RULES OF NATURE
Why are people so easily offended. According to IMDb all the films I liked growing up are absolute shit, but that doesn't matter to me. I still like them. Stop being so defensive about things you like.
THANK YOUUUUUU. Do you wanna have a baby? I love you.

Ok, the robot dog was actually a pretty cool character. It had a bit of an existential crisis, with it being a self aware AI, and the way it interacted and reacted to certain things was interesting.
Hey is made a ninja like character to line up with Grey Fox's story. They were both child soldiers, both became Ninja-esqe characters and both were friends with Solid Snake
Well, the soundtrack was one of the best of the year O_O
Oh honey. Tsk tsk tsk.
It wasn't. Not. Even. Close.
Mituna Captor
Im interested in the alternatives then :3 Tales of Xillia was great as well, but for me personally nothing really comes in mind :O
Mituna Captor Sounds like you need take whomever taught you the concept of sentence structure and LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIND
zweihand HA!
its all a matter of taste. some people like rock, some people like classical, some people think dubstep is the coolest and some people like a mixture of all of them.
Yahtzee hasn't been paying his dues to daddy platinum i see, the way i describe this game is "the best sound track money can buy, it also happens to come with a game, and that game also happens to be one of the best I've ever played"
Holy shit, why would someone turn off the boss music?
STANDING HERE
because its like listening to vocaloid while sitting in a dumpster, only weeaboos like that
I RE-UH-LAYZE YOU WERE JUST LIKE ME TRYING TO MAKE HIST-UH-REE!
because he doesn't like it?
but who´s to judge, the right from wrong?
I have an irrational love for this game, and it's largely due to the OST, Zandatsu mechanic, and over the top... shounen-ness of the boss fights and voice acting. How could you not love music that's basically Celldweller mixed with Sonic Adventure 2?
4:34 It's eerie how accurate this is.
Still, he says it like it's a bad thing.
Hulk hogan! Thats your best similie yet. So funny and on the button. Im in tears here.
I liked the boss music. Even if the lyrics seemed cheesy at times, they were catered to each boss.
This is as far as I’m aware the only of yahtzees opinions I absolutely disagree with
People actually take Yahtzee seriously?
STANDING HERE I REALIZE
The music is freaken awesome in this game. It is some of the best video game music I have ever heard and that has got me pumped to fight a boss. But that's my opinion.
I still remember how my first ever play-through was on the hardest available to me difficulty (which was probably HARD or smth). And only a year after I've beaten the game I found out that there was a dodge button (or a parry or smth). So basically each boss fight when a player needs to dodge something I would run away from boss and spam jump praying that this time the skill that takes away 60% of my hp won't land.
I did it, I found it. Been watching a bunch of these videos trying to find where Yahtzee and I have a different opinion on something and it's here. When I fought the final boss after double digit tries that I couldn't even hazard a guess on the real number, I was still jamming to it thinking it might be the best song ever lol
Did you know that people didn't know there was a way to dodge in this game
There are three ways to deal with oncoming attacks.
Counter.
Offensive Defense.
Sliding.
Azraelseraphim Ok, I didn't know about sliding but I knew and used the other two!!!
Azraelseraphim I just beat the game and I completely forgot that you could slide. I remember doing it in the tutorial and then I literally did not slide once for the rest of the game. I just forgot it was a thing....
Azraelseraphim Actually there's one way thats better than all of them, and its the one i use most often:
Kill everything in sight before it can touch you.
It works, trust me.
0:35 sounds just like Ruroni Kenshin
Yahtzee not liking the mgr boss themes because they sound like squeally guitar j-rock when his zp theme is nothing but squeally guitars
I thought this guy would have realized by now that every game with supernatural level combat has a clashing mix of serious drama and goofy wackiness. Gotta update that sense of humor~
So Damn True.
That mix sucks.
STANDING HERE
Why the inconsistencies? NANOMACHINES!
SON
THEY HARDEN IN RESPONSE TO INCONSISTENCIES!
I love how Yahtzee is actually being fairly tame here, yet *you* guys are the ones who are taking his opinions so radically. =P
Exactly. The only real criticism other than the last boss was how the game does a poor job explaining how to parry (as well as dodging and etc).
I'm currently playing through the game and finding myself having fun with it.
*****
Yeah...? I was saying "Besides this thing, this other thing is also another criticism"
I have been watching so many ZP videos in quick succession that now the ending music and the intro music blend seamlessly together as I quickly close one tab and switch to another.
Actually, Revengeance is a real word. It's just really, really old one.
word*
Art Murder Quote from Wiktionary: revengeance
(obsolete) vengeance; revenge
Here's the link - en.wiktionary.org/wiki/revengeance
Jokes on you, you're incorrect.
I didn't think the day would come. Did... did Yatzee really just diss the soundtrack of MGRR?
While I agree with the story being quite inconsistent at times, I completely disagree with his opinion about the music. I know not everybody enjoys the same kind of music, but even if one doesn't like the music in Revengeance, he at least has to admit that it fits the over-the-top action of the game, especially of the boss fights, very well.
I love Yahtzee but sometimes I feel like he screws himself over in his reviews. He skips all of the dialogue and then wonders why Sam isn't the final boss?
To be fair the sections where you stroll leisurely along and talk on cyborg skype with your team are really boring, especially when they seem to be holding you back from just running forward and slicing up some more things.
Hmmmm I don't think the Sam portions are boring, it was pretty cool to see how Sam sort of plays with Raiden.
Do you guys think Yahtzee should revisit this game? What with its sudden rise as meme material, and considering how accurate to current real life politics the last boss' politics are.
And also that its in PC with all the DLC from the get-go (well he has to finish the main game once to get the DLC levels I think, but that would be perfect for a revisit).
I fucking loved it, honestly. The bosses are some of the best I've ever seen, and it's really nicely challenging. It was fun as hell, completely over the top, and had a great soundtrack.
/asexpectedfromtheworsttroll
I kid of course.
I found the bosses pompous at best, the difficulty was something I piddled on, not challenging at all ( but I'm the guy who grinds through They Bleed Pixels and most rogue-likes so hey, higher standards ), the soundtrack was mediocre on a good day and I feel like being over the top just doesn't hold enough water to sustain the game itself. #opinions
4:26 Nanomachines, son
Man people really hated this game back then
stupid people who suck at games like yahtzee, maybe
Hated? He places this game as 5th best of 2013
@@memeticgenetic5160 really? Interesting
Why is it that almost every reviewer complains about the parry being "hard to understand"? It has a really large success window and it's easily spammable. Compared to something like the royal guard from dmc, this is so much easier.
Games Journalists Are Bad At Video Games, example A
Game does a poor job at explaining parry, once you learn the game becomes easier though
Ironic how Yahtzee spends so much of the review talking about Hideo Kojima and auteur driven when he didn't write or direct it or anything, it was a spinoff done by something else
THE BOSS MUSIC IS FUCKING FANTASTIC!
cropathfinder it sounds like jrock nu metal from a mid 2000s myspace band
Memes, the DNA of the soul.
Metal Gear Rising? Your memes end here.
MGSR is a game best described by its own title. "Revengeance" isn't a word and doesn't make any goddamn sense, but it's absolutely fucking badass regardless.

To be fair It could be worse... It could be a DmC reebot so yea...
I kind if actually Ironic that Raiden has become a bigger bad ass this year then freaking Dante
What a twist...
Wily Bat Yes he recommended this to everybody, so those who did not buy this game would fell smarter then the poor bastards
Just like people that did not buy Diablo 3 waiting in line for hours and sleeping on the street to get first in line, so they can laugh their ass off because they were waiting for hours, sleeping outside in a bag, pushing allover the place so they can be the first to witness Error37 and be unable to play for next week
I enjoyed DmC

U wot m8?
The dmc reboot is better than 4 and 2. I dont get people, sure the new dante is hollywood but the old one is childish anime garbage.
***** Heres the thing... Alright, its a "Decent" game, won't say its bad OR that its perfect
People have the right to like the game and think its good, If they never played a DMC game in their life and quite Franky even Capcom gives a shit for its fanbase and said themselves "There getting older and were modernizing it"
Only fans that supported Capcom for years also have the right to fell betrayed, making a reboot when it wasnt even needed, gave it to a shitty company, and keeps making micro transactions for no god damn fucking business
You want to know why Capcom is dying and loosing money, People don't want to deal with their stupid bullshit anymore, Resident Evil games, 3 canceled Megaman games, "Street Fighter Whore super, mega, extre delux gama edition"
People pay millions of dollars on a game that does not exist yet on Kickstarter because they see potential, because the developers actually are gamers themselves and have a vision
Capcom? Its simply a corporation just like politics, just like religion... they... just.. want... MONEY, and people just wont stand for this shit anymore
You can't tell me the game is first making fun of itself during the Senator fight when THE ENTIRE GAME is just a parody of the MGS series, for example, the Monsoon fight. Here's a guy you've only just met and he's alright giving you a speech on concepts you have no idea how they work into the story then you kill him not knowing anything more than before and there are tons of earlier examples. Zero Punctuation? More like Zero Research *Guitar Rift Credits *
Now there's a pretty meme.
Exquisite!
Opinions that aged like fucking milk
Actually, the soundtrack is pretty badass. It suits the games tone perfectly.
hating on the stealth
hating on the combat
hating on the silly dialogue
hating on the boss music for fucks sake
yahtzee youve officially gone bat-shit insane
So he didn't like the game, big deal.
The funny thing is that he still put this game in the top five of that year because there was nothing better to put for number 5.
haha, 'stealth', gud 1
It made top 5 because the game was more fun than the other ones that were competing for the spot. And he even says in this video that the combat is fun. His issues were with the characters and the boss music. The stealth is boring in a game like this, whose combat is fantastic. Why stealth it when the other option is fun?
let's face it
stealth was tacked on and pointless
and it could have done a better job on teaching the player how to parrying
I was somehow getting worse at parrying by the end of the game
I love these new zero punctuation videos with the professional looking thumbnails and shortened intro song
Hey, hey Yahtzee. Come closer, closer, a little closer, just a bit closer.
IT'S A SPIN-OFF!
I kind of miss when the outro was longer and had more buildup
I liked the soundtrack for the bosses. In fact, the soundtrack of the game is pretty good.
It's a shame that the 1hour 30 minute soundtrack is longer than the fucking game though.
I've never thought i will encounter guy who hates equally:
1. Witcher 1
2. Metal Gear Solid as a series and it's story
3. Metal Gear Rising's soundtrack
Man, you have wierd taste I must say but I like your videos because you're a funny guy :D
Karakuioshi Shisuke he doesnt hate the metal gear series, he is just overly critical for this reviews, since as he put it in other videos, people dont like when he praise too much something,
this game for instance, was in his top 5 best games of the year(that year i meant).
there are alot of other reviews that, he make it seems like he hated the game, but in actuality, he really enjoys it, for example, he has bashed every single uncharted game, and every time it shows up he bashed is, but, he has said, in other reviews that, the gameplay is really good...
Karakuioshi Shisuke the sound track was boring and forgettable for me, and Kojima's is absolute shit, never played witcher 1 so i have no opinion on that
kojima didnt direct the game. he had nothing to do with it.
I was exgerating a bit but pretty much i feel the same
+Karakuioshi Shisuke
This is comedy, not a serious criticism.
I'm 99% sure Hideo Kojima did not write this game.
You're 99% what
@@dopey473 I'm 99% Hideo Kojima. Unfortunately I got all the recessive genes.
@@marche800 You took everything from me before I was even born
Btw sorry for correcting you 3 years after your initial comment lmao
that ending sounds amazing
It is amazing.
Man, I was laughing so hard at the funny parts with the imps being sliced and diced by ZP Raiden! XD
I feel like if Yahtzee made this review nowadays, he'd have very different feelings on it, especially given his new love of Yakuza having opened his eyes to that sort of Japanese way of thinking that's hard to digest unless you've had experience with it.
thepersonwhocomentz again, his 5th favorite that year
I genuinely have to believe Kojima never speaks to anyone except when he has to go out and rent action movies and anime because that is an amazing and accurate description
Did anyone else notice the "Brockbuster" sign?
4:40 that's literally what happens in MGR's ending.
Also, I was under the assumption the dog was a reference to Casshern and his dog sidekick. Just like Megaman and his dog are a reference to that same thing. You know, ''human cyborg and his dog'' deal. It doesn't make it any less worse (if it is bad, that is) but it does give it context.
It’s one of the best games ever made. No, I will not elaborate.
In case you think he hated the game, he said it was the fifth best game of 2013.
the end boss against "Not" John McCain was over top and hard.. but it was a lot fun and a perfect insane ending to the game
When i played it at a friend's house it was so fun, so over-the-top combat and style got me hooked in this familiar but very odd fantasy world.
But i didn't even get halfway through the game, so i can't garantee it wouldn't get stale over time.
Also often times i finish a game bored to the ground only to spend the rest of the month doing the missions and challenges speedrunner-style, as if i had the chains let loose.
"Solid Snake could refer to a cock"
Well, then that changes the meaning of "Snake Eater", doesn't it?
Lol everyone's so angry
guess there are alot of fanboys or something
TheYoyoYoko One of the things I don't like about this game is the slicing to get a spine for health, they say it's easy but half of the time you go to make a slice and he ends up missing it, and then you basically boned yourself, and that most of the bosses are hit and run/run and hit and repeat, that and the game has stealth in it yet it's not supposed to be, plus ontop of all of that the camera angles fuck you over most of the time during any of the fighting. I swear fan boys are getting so annoying, it's like CAPCOM with Resident Evil, fan boys all over the damn place.
Last few minutes of this are one of the funniest things ever..... fuck, I lost it.
How is it possible that I've never imagined the Solid Snake joke that he mentions at the end...
I see another one coming back after it's gotten popular again
This was the best metal gear game change my mind
I wish you were in Melbourne and I could buy you a beer.
Appreciate your work! Thank you!
I loved the music, the clumsy merging of serious story and ridiculous plot has always been perfect, and Metal Gear isn't suddenly being in on the joke - it's been laughing at itself since the PS1.
Love this review though, especially the Hulk Hogan bit.
yahtzee u be macon me mad wit ur opinyunz!
oh no for shame he have a different outlook on a game
"Revengeace" actually is a real word in American English. Archaic and no longer used? Yes.
A fake word? No.
i believe something yahtzee said about bayonetta applies here too. how'd it go again? "reward's skill without becoming inaccessible to the layman"?
I never thought someone would actually not like Rising's boss fight themes. It very Cathartic and gets ur blood pumping
