Can we just acknowledge the fact that Armstrong could only have bought the giant robot ant for aesthetic reasons, because he's literally stronger than it
the most badass thing about sam (and the reason he is easier to fight than the others) is that he is only part cyborg. hes basically a normal human battling a cyborg made for battle.
i feel that saying part cyborg undermines his strength since tbf he isnt even a cyborg, hes just a man with a prosthetic arm, everything else about him is purely human
@@submergedbird8244his suit is outdated If anything by the games standard, it’s just a full body vest that gives minor protection, he’s just that strong lol
Bro dunked on the guy that dunked on Metal Gear RAY, an MG designed to kill other large metalic city destroying machines. And Sam merked the guy who merks MG-merkers.
I’m sad this game never got a sequel, and most likely (or indefinitely) won’t get one. This game is amazing, and was a great way to continue a story in the Metal Gear universe after the 4th.
It would be interesting seeing raiden follow Armstrong's beliefs, if they were going to make a next game they could have raiden be the villain if they wanted or make it so that Armstrong's America comes true
It’ll get a sequel eventually, if Alan Wake can get a sequel this definitely can. The game studios know how much fans are anticipating certain games so they wait for the right time to drop them to get the most hype out of it. They know how much holding out on us works in making us want it more.
@@kirbe5039 I highly doubt they'd make Raiden the villain for the simple fact that that's just not who he is. While Raiden did agree with Armstrong that the system in America as it is now is fucked up, they wanted two vastly different things. Armstrong wanted a lawless world where people are free to do whatever they want solely because they have the strength and means to do so. There would be nothing keeping the worst of humanity from running wild. Raiden did not agree with that at all. Raiden is still a fairly good person, and even though does act way outside the law a lot, he would never pursue the same goal as Armstrong, especially not when his methods to carry out his plan involved making an army of child soldiers who were put through the same hell he was. TLDR: Raiden and Armstrong both held ideals of freedom, but their definitions of freedom were way too different for Raiden to ever carry out Armstrong's goals
*New Player:* “Hey, is that giant robot the final boss?” *MGR Fan:* “No, it’s the tutorial boss.” *New Player:* “Okay.. is the giant spider robot the final boss?” *MGR Fan:* “No, it’s guy piloting the spider robot.”
I love seeing how invested Dontai was in the cutscenes and storyline. I wasn't sure if he'd really fw the overall message of the game beyond how cool everything was. Also Jetstream Sam gotta be one of the best rivals in any game ever.
I love how each character gets stronger whenever they are spitting their philosophy. It's like a debate and the fighting is just a visual representation of the impact of their beliefs in that particular moment. In the end, Wolfy had to step in and spit his own take and give Raiden that good anime BUDDY MOTIVATION. And the music is always on point with it lol
Armstrong was ultimately right about Raiden in that he, like Armstrong, fights for what he believes in no matter the odds, and will absolutely kill if he must. The personal war you see him embark upon at the end shows that his words even got through, though how Raiden wields the ideal is much different from how Armstrong would have, if I'm remembering correctly. It's also cool how Raiden is effectively exactly what Armstrong wants the rest of the world to become, yet is completely opposed to what he's doing. And it fits that who believes the weak should be culled by the strong is ultimately destroyed by someone stronger than themselves.
if anyone cares about a quick *SPOILER* backstory on Sunny, - Sunny Gurlukovich ( Renamed to Emmerich ) is the daughter of Olga Gurlukovich. One of the Russian female operatives Snake encounters out at sea on a boat during the events of MGS 2. Hal (Otacon) Emmerich adopted her and raised her along side Snake during the events of MGS 4, There's a point you meet Raiden again here and his arm gets cut off (which is why when Sam cuts it off at the beginning of the game he says "Dammit, Not again!") and Snake brings him back in and Sunny is the one that really looked after Raiden until he got better. Raiden has a Wife (Rose) and a Son (John)
What I find interesting is at 51:49 when he says "Deep inside were kindred spirits you and I". If you look closely Raiden his shadow is exactly on Senator Armstrong his body.
And thus the main story concludes with 3 more songs. For Sam we got “The only thing I know for real” which is hype. And Armstrong gets 2 songs. “Collective consciousness” which explains what we THINK his motives are, and “It has to be this way” after the realization that he and Raiden aren’t so different Side note: 33:11 “Yo! Is that f@cking black face?!?!”
It goes even deeper than that. Armstrong believes in nothing except his own greatness. He gives what's effectively a speech and then follows it up with, "I don't write my own speeches." The speech itself is just bites of other speeches as well, this is advertised by bits from two speeches that are unable to be more different if they tried. One is a call to the most sincere humanity and the other is a dog whistle to Fascistic ideology. Those two things are cognitively dissonant. Reinforcing that Armstrong himself believes nothing save for his Fascistic ideology. "Weak" and "strong" are relative terms, Bladewolf even makes this explicit when he says that if Raiden wants to protect everyone weaker than him then it would be billions of people. Armstrong sees himself as the strongest person there is. When someone states an absolute they also state the implied opposite since the listener subconsciously thinks that the opposite is the only way that absolute statement has meaning. So, when Armstrong says, "The weak shall serve," he implies, "The strong shall rule," and in Armstrong's eyes no one is stronger than him, as they're weaker than him they shall all serve him.

1. Its pretty crazy that, even with his new body, Sam was able to pretty consistently dunk on Raiden despite his only major cybernetic enhancement being his arm. Which actually made him *weaker* if anything, since he had trouble getting used to it. 2. I am convinced that half the reason that this game doesn't have a sequel is because they have no idea how to top Armstrong. The dude has next to no screentime up until the final level and yet they do such a good job of making every second he's onscreen count to make him not just iconic, but one of the best final bosses in video game history. And the fact that he's *chronologically* the *final boss* of the entire Metal Gear franchise is just the cherry on top.
I like how raiden actually shows respect to Sam by instead stabbing him through the chest instead of slicing him to millions of pieces like the others even tho he was the guy that almost fucking dog watered raiden in the vid lol.
Dontai Love you man, Watching you play games like these is just so damn good, without the twitch stuff on too just private chill recordings like this. You gotta continue playing games like these
Ay, sam is that guy bro, he literally has no cyberneyic enhancments other than a prosthetic arm which is why hes easier than the other bosses but this man literally dunked on raiden at the train, he has my respect, no minions, no bullshit, just a one on one. Also Raiden actually sliced the doctor and george in half in that room but george managed to survive with his head and left arm intact so hes basically a cyborg now, you didnt see it because it'll be graphic af
I think we know what kind of games Dontai likes by now, the violent hack and slash type game where the protagonist feels OP and can literally obliterate their enemies and you just feel powerful playing as them. Kratos, Asura, Deadpool, Wolverine, Dante, Cal Kestis, and now Raiden are one in the same. I wonder who will be next.
@@Floaydi to be fair I haven't been interested in Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss in a while due to it getting fucking terrible in the second season. I just haven't bothered to change it because I'm a lazy fuck
@@lucifermagne7458 Yea its annoying to see what happened to Helluva Boss because when season 1 ended i was actually quite invested/interested in the show. And now season 2 has destroyed that for me
If you liked Sam’s sword, you can even play as him in the free DLCs. Would also recommend playing the other MGS games if you want to make sense of the SOP and other in-game lore things Also Senator Armstrong has the same VA as Mimir from GOW.
Probably my favorite series I've seen you play other than 12 minutes. I'd suggest you play other Metal Gear games if you'd like to try out any more stealth games.
@@ImStillSixxeswhen Raiden turns red, it's because he's feeling pain. When Bladewolf decided not to shake Raiden's hand, Raiden turned red, which means he was hurting because Bladewolf rejected his handshake
Can’t believe dontai been playing so many classics I remember coming home from school playing all the recent games he’s dropped miss tho days it’s only right he plays Star Wars Force Unleashed 🔥💨💯
I would love for dontai to play the metal gear solid games, don't know if they are too long for a youtube series though but snake eater would be great, him experiencing when the song kicks in
Bro this seeies was so fun to watch. I really hope he plays 40k Space Marine one day before the sequel comes out later this year. God that game is sick!
48:48 is it just me or just the swings he make just before hitting armstrongs hand sync with the music, also the lyrics coming in at the end was just perfect
Having that side dodge is absolutely required for Armstrong plus that polarm is definitely the best when it comes to attacking fast. I definitely had fun my first time through and I also chose the red and black skin too.
Hey Dontai, im excited that you've been playing all these hack n slash ps3 games that i love. I do have a suggestion on the next game to play. Ninja Gaiden would be a great game to play from Ninja gaiden 1-3. I'm not gonna lie. it's a challenging hack n slash series, but it's definitely worth playing.
Wow Dontai what a blast of a vid!!!🔥🔥 The whole fight with the senator is so awesome I could watch it a 100 times! I also recommend you to check out the dlc, you'll get to play as jetstream Sam and bladewolf!
Sam fight is pretty straight forward, but on higher difficulties when everybody hits like a tank you’ve died 10x over with the amount of hits you took 😂
Good to hear you had fun on this game, and i hope that further clarification in the comments by people on various things in the game will be of interest to you. And also that Dante's Inferno will still stick with you positively in spite of that last section. For other action or hack-and-slash type games, i'd love to see you play and enjoy the Darksiders series. 2 especially is pretty long, though. It's a somewhat divisive series between each game, with 3 being generally seen as the weakest Darksiders experience, but still an enjoyable game on its own. A somewhat recent hack-and-slash/character action title by name of Soulstice is one that I hope you may give a chance as well. It's got a lot of cool and interesting stuff and extra lore, and potential for more. Of course it's got its rough spots and design choices as well. Like it drags on a bit and has uneven pacing, a few particularly annoying enemies (out of the 24) and there is a color coding mechanic in place. But that's *exactly* why i want people to put more attention on that game: so that it gets more traction, more chance of a sequel, and thus proper constructive feedback to build upon the potential it already has. (And on the color coding thing: there's a kind of customizable ability tree in which you can mitigate some of the limitations it has and even weaponize them) Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 1 and 2 would be interesting to see as well! Though they're both kinda long games. 2 especially has... rough parts to it. The storytelling is rather strange, fast travel system is rather roundabout, and there's some stealth segments that in my opinion aren't too bad (except for ONE) but haven't been something that people remember fondly. Lords of Shadow is technically a trilogy, with Mirror of Fate being viewed from a 2D perspective that connects 1 with 2 via various important in-universe events. That one got received quite positively, from what i know. For a shorter title, Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death. In gameplay it's very much like Dante's Inferno, but takes place in South America and thus the mythology takes a slice out of the Meso-American mythology cake. Not as deeply as GoW, but then again, GoW has had six games to delve into that particular mythology by now. It's very affordable on Steam too! below ten dollars, i believe even below five. Heavenly Sword and Splatterhouse 2010 are pretty nice times as well-- again, in spite of some tedium. Splatterhouse 2010 especially is a great homage to its original series from like... 1990 or something. Perhaps the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time trilogy may be to your interest. Warrior Within *especially* goes HARD in on the combat, with not just combos but the environment worked into the fighting. Genokids is an upcoming hack-and-slash title about a rock band staving off an alien invasion. There's a demo on it out now, definitely recommend you support them. Andd also to check out No Straight Roads and Hi-Fi Rush. Hi-Fi Rush may be the more tight game out of the two, but No Straight Roads isn't "the lesser Hi-Fi Rush" out of the two. NSR does things simpler and smaller, in part because it's a debut title by its respective studio. But it has style, love and respect for music for days, with a nice story and characters to it. Outside of the dedicated hack-and-slash titles, I want to mention the Zeno Clash games. They are brawler/fighter-type games set in a weird, bizarre, stone age/early civilization type world inhabited by MANY weird creatures. A number of them are based on monsters medieval wood carvings, for example. The first two games are first person brawlers, but the most recent title, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, is a prequel that takes an over-the-shoulder third person perspective, and has you travel across the world where you can find different Styles and Special Attacks with unique animations and purposes to equip, unequip and swap between, to customize your own moveset. It's a really solid system where you can make your own fun, depending on the specific stances. And part of the fun would be seeing you react to how bizarre the world and its inhabitants can be. That all said: Thank you for playing this, and wish you and whoever else reads this a good rest of your week!
I've been watching a video of the additional Codec calls a player could view throughout a level in this game, and learnt something interesting you may find cool: Doktor explains that In this game's setting, high frequency swords are made from giving conventional swords a special treatment of which i don't remember the specifics and details. It's all very complex, and delves into the difficulty of real-life weapon smithing: ensuring that a steel blade is flexible enough to absorb impact while still being hard enough to not snap. And that conversely, the blade is hard enough for serious cutting power without becoming too brittle. If i remember correctly, the logic behind HF blades' effectiveness is that the high frequency/vibration makes atoms... move, or something, in such a way, that the blade becomes a much more solid physical object that rules out the brittleness risk nigh entirely. From my understanding, that's the best i could put it. A HF blade is all the more effective if the original weapon's quality was of a high degree as well. Now, Sam's sword is stated to be inherited from his father. But in the Codec calls, Kevin tells that the sword's been in Sam's family for much longer than that. There is no file on who forged the sword, but it bears the name Murasama. A very, very legendary name in Japanese history and/or folklore (on which I am no expert) Though this would be cool info for you to learn about. Knowing Sam fought with a sword passed down through generations, minimal cybernetics and thus largely his own bodily abilities, and it puts an extra view on Sam as a whole. The Codec Calls in general bring in a TREMENDOUS amount of background lore about the world and its history as a whole, as well as more info about individual characters. And a lot of real world terms, concepts and history too, albeit mingled in with the Metal Gear historical continuity. But there's another thing, an observation i didn't make myself but remember still. In most fights, the vocals only kick in after Raiden progressed to phase 2, let's say. And that could be seen as the point that the boss truly takes them seriously. In Sam's fight, the vocals are already blaring from the beginning. But it is when you slap his sword out of his hand that the vocals leave entirely. Pretty unique spin. The idea that the boss is technically stronger when he's *unarmed*, but takes the fight more *seriously* when both have a weapon in hand. Hope you found this info interesting! The more hardcore MGR:R fans could tell you more baout the info and symbolism on it all. I'm personally more about Darksiders, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Soulstice where it concerns hack-and-slash/character action lore.
I think what made this playthrough interesting is the fact he struggled more with sundowner than sam which is in funny cos most people view sundowner as the easiest boss given his health and the fact you dont even to destroy his shields to beat him
you don't miss with your choices top tier taste man W and the reason why george has a prostethic part of his body is because when that doctor in that lab had him at gun a gun to his and raiden asked him if he was sure . raiden cut the doctor and george in half in that one strike.
The Armstrong Final Battle is one of the best Final Bosses in any videogame!!! I remember I had such trouble with the Blade Mode rubble throwing sections, and it took me so long to figure out how to actually stop his healing. But amazing Finale.
Now you gotta try Metal Gear Solid 3. Idk if stealth games is your thing but the story and bosses in that game are amazing, also it's chronologically the first game in the series.

thank you bro
Bro I forgot about the Sam dlc but I did mention the blade wolf one a few videos back
Can we just acknowledge the fact that Armstrong could only have bought the giant robot ant for aesthetic reasons, because he's literally stronger than it
I mean hes a US senator he cant go running around killing the president and punching everyone else to start a war
And the fact that if he absorbed the spider bot before it gets drilled by Raiden he could've probably been stronger but no, just style points I guess.
He needed it’s energy.
That's his Rolls-Royce Truck. 😅😂😂

if anyone cares about a quick *SPOILER* backstory on Sunny,
-
Sunny Gurlukovich ( Renamed to Emmerich ) is the daughter of Olga Gurlukovich. One of the Russian female operatives Snake encounters out at sea on a boat during the events of MGS 2.
Hal (Otacon) Emmerich adopted her and raised her along side Snake during the events of MGS 4, There's a point you meet Raiden again here and his arm gets cut off (which is why when Sam cuts it off at the beginning of the game he says "Dammit, Not again!") and Snake brings him back in and Sunny is the one that really looked after Raiden until he got better.
Raiden has a Wife (Rose) and a Son (John)
Jack and the Russian guy saved her from the patriots also. It’s why she has a soft spot for Raiden.
What I find interesting is at 51:49 when he says "Deep inside were kindred spirits you and I". If you look closely Raiden his shadow is exactly on Senator Armstrong his body.
This play through was fire, loved watchin it. Thanks for this entertainment Dontai
This game is much deeper if you look into it but even on its surface it is funny and brutally awesome with all the songs being absolute bangers.
And thus the main story concludes with 3 more songs. For Sam we got “The only thing I know for real” which is hype. And Armstrong gets 2 songs. “Collective consciousness” which explains what we THINK his motives are, and “It has to be this way” after the realization that he and Raiden aren’t so different
Side note: 33:11 “Yo! Is that f@cking black face?!?!”
No its Nano machines son
@@jammygamer8961 it was joke. Reference to that one scene from that weird animated show
It goes even deeper than that. Armstrong believes in nothing except his own greatness. He gives what's effectively a speech and then follows it up with, "I don't write my own speeches." The speech itself is just bites of other speeches as well, this is advertised by bits from two speeches that are unable to be more different if they tried. One is a call to the most sincere humanity and the other is a dog whistle to Fascistic ideology. Those two things are cognitively dissonant. Reinforcing that Armstrong himself believes nothing save for his Fascistic ideology.
"Weak" and "strong" are relative terms, Bladewolf even makes this explicit when he says that if Raiden wants to protect everyone weaker than him then it would be billions of people. Armstrong sees himself as the strongest person there is. When someone states an absolute they also state the implied opposite since the listener subconsciously thinks that the opposite is the only way that absolute statement has meaning.
So, when Armstrong says, "The weak shall serve," he implies, "The strong shall rule," and in Armstrong's eyes no one is stronger than him, as they're weaker than him they shall all serve him.

Also Raiden actually sliced the doctor and george in half in that room but george managed to survive with his head and left arm intact so hes basically a cyborg now, you didnt see it because it'll be graphic af
Bro this playthrough put Metal Gear on my LIST. This whole series was LIT so I cant wait to see whats next
I think we know what kind of games Dontai likes by now, the violent hack and slash type game where the protagonist feels OP and can literally obliterate their enemies and you just feel powerful playing as them. Kratos, Asura, Deadpool, Wolverine, Dante, Cal Kestis, and now Raiden are one in the same. I wonder who will be next.
Alex Mercer👀
Bayonetta would be fire
BRO everything about this game. The music, gameplay, bosses, and everything is legendary🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I'm glad Dontai played it
Dontai you literally played all my favorite ancient games
Thanks for the journey
This game deserves a sequel! and im so sick to my stomach that we may never get one 😩
I'd say this is my favorite game ever. Glad to see Dontai play it.
Such a fire playthrough. Just like the game itself, short and sweet. Hype af to see what goldie oldie is up next
Toph pfp, opinion valid
@@lucifermagne7458Which gets negated by the hazbin hotel pfp.
But that's fine Toph still great.
@@Floaydi to be fair I haven't been interested in Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss in a while due to it getting fucking terrible in the second season. I just haven't bothered to change it because I'm a lazy fuck
@@lucifermagne7458
Yea its annoying to see what happened to Helluva Boss because when season 1 ended i was actually quite invested/interested in the show.
And now season 2 has destroyed that for me
@@jammygamer8961 yep
outstanding, immaculate even, can never get tired of it
Raiden about to have a psychotic break because bladewolf wouldn't shake his hand is peak
Albeit you are my top 2 most entertaining youtubers of my life, but I love the gaming channel in total, keep the greatness rolling!
Dlc's gotta be next for sure! Can't wait to see you kick ass as Sam and Wolf!
If you liked Sam’s sword, you can even play as him in the free DLCs.
Would also recommend playing the other MGS games if you want to make sense of the SOP and other in-game lore things
Also Senator Armstrong has the same VA as Mimir from GOW.
Probably my favorite series I've seen you play other than 12 minutes. I'd suggest you play other Metal Gear games if you'd like to try out any more stealth games.
The play through was amazing it was fun seeing your reactions. Thanks for playing Metal Gear Rising Revengeance
the music sync when you finished armstrong was just perfect 🤌👌
This playthrough was great! 🔥🔥 Hope you play the DLCs if you enjoyed the game enough.
Dontai been on fire with these MGR vids but....
Who gon tell him they got DLC content?
This was definitely one of your best playthroughs, I recommend you play the dlc it’s pretty amazing and i’d really enjoy it. 👍
1k like here, love your gameplay man, really made my day fam.
He has to play the dmc series next 🙏🏽
dmc or bayonetta 🙏
Also yakuza 0
He played dmc5 but it would be cool if he played the other games too
The consistency is crazy! I can't wait until he plays Infamous.
Agreed
I like how you edit the vids for the games even tho its like simple but it makes to where it's unique and make it interesting and not extra
This was my top 5 games of all time would love to see infamous keep it up donte
This is easily the most anime game out there! Love dontaii reaction to the spider boss fight 🤣
waitin all day for this 🔥
Me too
This gaming arc is fire dontai
DONTAI you’re going to love suits! On my 3rd re-watch rn
Watched you post this on stream, im in your walls
☠️
Yeah
@@ImStillSixxeswhen Raiden turns red, it's because he's feeling pain. When Bladewolf decided not to shake Raiden's hand, Raiden turned red, which means he was hurting because Bladewolf rejected his handshake
Well I’m in your *Balls-*
@@lucifermagne7458 wtf are you talking about
You should give the prototype series a chance, it will knock your socks off!
YES BRUH OMG
Can’t believe dontai been playing so many classics I remember coming home from school playing all the recent games he’s dropped miss tho days it’s only right he plays Star Wars Force Unleashed 🔥💨💯
I would love for dontai to play the metal gear solid games, don't know if they are too long for a youtube series though but snake eater would be great, him experiencing when the song kicks in
anyone else realized that the slashes match the song perfectly at 13:50?
I was starting to think no one else knew that 😂 it’s so badass
Armstrong is one of the greatest villians of all time hands down.
loved watching you play this.
Let’s go great gameplay dontai!!
Dontai with another game added in the completion list. Onto the next one!
literally the best video game ever
Bro this seeies was so fun to watch.
I really hope he plays 40k Space Marine one day before the sequel comes out later this year. God that game is sick!
Jet stream sams fight is amazing every time I hear “there will be bloodshed!” It makes me feel like a true sword lord fighting this man
Imagine a remake of this game in 10 years...
48:48 is it just me or just the swings he make just before hitting armstrongs hand sync with the music, also the lyrics coming in at the end was just perfect
Man I love watching dontai play the games i used to play, it’s like a nostalgia trip narrated by tai. (You’d really like infamous 1 and 2!)
Having that side dodge is absolutely required for Armstrong plus that polarm is definitely the best when it comes to attacking fast. I definitely had fun my first time through and I also chose the red and black skin too.
Jetstream Sam's DLC is truly on another level
Now you know Dontai...
*It Has To Be This Way*
(Intro intensifies) 🇺🇸
Hey Dontai, im excited that you've been playing all these hack n slash ps3 games that i love. I do have a suggestion on the next game to play. Ninja Gaiden would be a great game to play from Ninja gaiden 1-3. I'm not gonna lie. it's a challenging hack n slash series, but it's definitely worth playing.
Wow Dontai what a blast of a vid!!!🔥🔥 The whole fight with the senator is so awesome I could watch it a 100 times! I also recommend you to check out the dlc, you'll get to play as jetstream Sam and bladewolf!
As great as this game was, not only is it impressive how fast you finished it, but how gruesome Armstrongs death was. Prove me wrong ppl, I dare you.
Sam fight is pretty straight forward, but on higher difficulties when everybody hits like a tank you’ve died 10x over with the amount of hits you took 😂
I've loved theese old like styled games on the yt channel. Keep it coming
Good to hear you had fun on this game, and i hope that further clarification in the comments by people on various things in the game will be of interest to you. And also that Dante's Inferno will still stick with you positively in spite of that last section.
For other action or hack-and-slash type games, i'd love to see you play and enjoy the Darksiders series. 2 especially is pretty long, though. It's a somewhat divisive series between each game, with 3 being generally seen as the weakest Darksiders experience, but still an enjoyable game on its own.
A somewhat recent hack-and-slash/character action title by name of Soulstice is one that I hope you may give a chance as well. It's got a lot of cool and interesting stuff and extra lore, and potential for more.
Of course it's got its rough spots and design choices as well. Like it drags on a bit and has uneven pacing, a few particularly annoying enemies (out of the 24) and there is a color coding mechanic in place.
But that's *exactly* why i want people to put more attention on that game: so that it gets more traction, more chance of a sequel, and thus proper constructive feedback to build upon the potential it already has.
(And on the color coding thing: there's a kind of customizable ability tree in which you can mitigate some of the limitations it has and even weaponize them)
Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 1 and 2 would be interesting to see as well! Though they're both kinda long games. 2 especially has... rough parts to it. The storytelling is rather strange, fast travel system is rather roundabout, and there's some stealth segments that in my opinion aren't too bad (except for ONE) but haven't been something that people remember fondly.
Lords of Shadow is technically a trilogy, with Mirror of Fate being viewed from a 2D perspective that connects 1 with 2 via various important in-universe events. That one got received quite positively, from what i know.
For a shorter title, Marlow Briggs and the Mask of Death. In gameplay it's very much like Dante's Inferno, but takes place in South America and thus the mythology takes a slice out of the Meso-American mythology cake. Not as deeply as GoW, but then again, GoW has had six games to delve into that particular mythology by now.
It's very affordable on Steam too! below ten dollars, i believe even below five.
Heavenly Sword and Splatterhouse 2010 are pretty nice times as well-- again, in spite of some tedium. Splatterhouse 2010 especially is a great homage to its original series from like... 1990 or something.
Perhaps the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time trilogy may be to your interest. Warrior Within *especially* goes HARD in on the combat, with not just combos but the environment worked into the fighting.
Genokids is an upcoming hack-and-slash title about a rock band staving off an alien invasion. There's a demo on it out now, definitely recommend you support them.
Andd also to check out No Straight Roads and Hi-Fi Rush. Hi-Fi Rush may be the more tight game out of the two, but No Straight Roads isn't "the lesser Hi-Fi Rush" out of the two.
NSR does things simpler and smaller, in part because it's a debut title by its respective studio. But it has style, love and respect for music for days, with a nice story and characters to it.
Outside of the dedicated hack-and-slash titles, I want to mention the Zeno Clash games. They are brawler/fighter-type games set in a weird, bizarre, stone age/early civilization type world inhabited by MANY weird creatures. A number of them are based on monsters medieval wood carvings, for example.
The first two games are first person brawlers, but the most recent title, Clash: Artifacts of Chaos, is a prequel that takes an over-the-shoulder third person perspective, and has you travel across the world where you can find different Styles and Special Attacks with unique animations and purposes to equip, unequip and swap between, to customize your own moveset.
It's a really solid system where you can make your own fun, depending on the specific stances. And part of the fun would be seeing you react to how bizarre the world and its inhabitants can be.
That all said: Thank you for playing this, and wish you and whoever else reads this a good rest of your week!
I've been watching a video of the additional Codec calls a player could view throughout a level in this game, and learnt something interesting you may find cool:
Doktor explains that In this game's setting, high frequency swords are made from giving conventional swords a special treatment of which i don't remember the specifics and details. It's all very complex, and delves into the difficulty of real-life weapon smithing: ensuring that a steel blade is flexible enough to absorb impact while still being hard enough to not snap. And that conversely, the blade is hard enough for serious cutting power without becoming too brittle.
If i remember correctly, the logic behind HF blades' effectiveness is that the high frequency/vibration makes atoms... move, or something, in such a way, that the blade becomes a much more solid physical object that rules out the brittleness risk nigh entirely.
From my understanding, that's the best i could put it.
A HF blade is all the more effective if the original weapon's quality was of a high degree as well.
Now, Sam's sword is stated to be inherited from his father. But in the Codec calls, Kevin tells that the sword's been in Sam's family for much longer than that. There is no file on who forged the sword, but it bears the name Murasama. A very, very legendary name in Japanese history and/or folklore (on which I am no expert)
Though this would be cool info for you to learn about. Knowing Sam fought with a sword passed down through generations, minimal cybernetics and thus largely his own bodily abilities, and it puts an extra view on Sam as a whole.
The Codec Calls in general bring in a TREMENDOUS amount of background lore about the world and its history as a whole, as well as more info about individual characters. And a lot of real world terms, concepts and history too, albeit mingled in with the Metal Gear historical continuity.
But there's another thing, an observation i didn't make myself but remember still.
In most fights, the vocals only kick in after Raiden progressed to phase 2, let's say. And that could be seen as the point that the boss truly takes them seriously.
In Sam's fight, the vocals are already blaring from the beginning. But it is when you slap his sword out of his hand that the vocals leave entirely.
Pretty unique spin. The idea that the boss is technically stronger when he's *unarmed*, but takes the fight more *seriously* when both have a weapon in hand.
Hope you found this info interesting! The more hardcore MGR:R fans could tell you more baout the info and symbolism on it all. I'm personally more about Darksiders, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and Soulstice where it concerns hack-and-slash/character action lore.
Top tier Dontai content right here
I think what made this playthrough interesting is the fact he struggled more with sundowner than sam which is in funny cos most people view sundowner as the easiest boss given his health and the fact you dont even to destroy his shields to beat him
LET'S GOOOOOO, even though this game is old it is still hype. Definitely need a second game
you don't miss with your choices top tier taste man W and the reason why george has a prostethic part of his body is because when that doctor in that lab had him at gun a gun to his and raiden asked him if he was sure . raiden cut the doctor and george in half in that one strike.
43:50 Always gives me the chills.
The Armstrong Final Battle is one of the best Final Bosses in any videogame!!! I remember I had such trouble with the Blade Mode rubble throwing sections, and it took me so long to figure out how to actually stop his healing. But amazing Finale.
Now you gotta try Metal Gear Solid 3. Idk if stealth games is your thing but the story and bosses in that game are amazing, also it's chronologically the first game in the series.
Elite Game, glad we saw you play dis
W series thank you for playing this
After you do the DLC, try looking up a forgotten gem called "Remember me". Its truly a game youll enjoy just off the premise alone.
20:05 the fact this cutscene was talking about memes and fast forward to today, also a bit ironic an iconic meme came from this
this was an amazing playthrough dontai, also you should try dmc3 you might like it
Seeing you play this game made me spend an hour fixing my ps3 and like 3 more hours downloading metal gear rising to play it again myself.
@29:47 “nah, wait, you’re actually trash”
Proceeds to get combo’d to stunlocked into the corner, and dies a few seconds later. The comedic timing is insane 😂
Great video, MGR is a great experience, goad you really enjoyed it
Cory and dontai literally the same person they both funny ash best gameplay
BTW dontai u have the sword and that scissor shi the other guy had
