Yo if u want to know more about NeverDead, Shinta Nojiri or that dude who rudely interrupted my video, I'd highly recommend checking out this: th-cam.com/video/lYu5PgpzjAQ/w-d-xo.html Dude also did a video on Suda's, Shinji's and Hideo's weird little bro bang, that is v funny and the good: th-cam.com/video/jiOmuASoCyE/w-d-xo.html Finally, if ur watching this now and not later: sorry about the gap in uploads. I've been really busy moving this month. Had to paint walls, and buy stuff, and carry things, it's been nuts. But I should be settled in next week, and will thus be able to continue doing my do.
The Senator Armstrong monologue is one of the craziest things I've seen in fiction. And yet, fiction is lagging behind reality when it comes to craziness these days
I think it's supposed to be Sudatcher, because that's how the japanese pronounce it and also would be a mix of Suda and Snatcher, and with that Transfaring thing you mentioned later, that sounds like something these two would come up with.
Metal Gear Rising was, humorously enough,the first Metal Gear game I played. Why? Because it got a PC port. I was a Nintendo kid growing up, and then mostly switched to PC master race gaming at a certain point in my life. But Rising got me interested enough in Metal Gear that I bought a PS3 (even though, at this point, the PS4 was already out, it wouldn't do because Sony decided fuck backwards compatibility) and got the Legacy Collection, and spent a whole summer addicted to the franchise.
Almost 2 months late, but I want to add something. A lot of the crazy funny Japanese writing could be attributed to the localization studio 8-4. In one of their podcasts discussing their work, they mentioned how they made the text fit in with the style of game they were going for. The brief AR text pop up when Raiden meets Armstrong for the first time and he says to "check the news" was inspired by the layout of Neogaf posts because back then they visited the site often. Also, did you know the DOOMP joke is only present in the English version, its a dry exposition dump in the Japanese version. 8-4 might not have written it, but they most certainly made the flavor.
MGR is great on higher difficulties than normal. I liked doing it without using the rations that autoheal you since it really helped make stuff like the zandatsu mechanics and the bossfights shine. I wouldn't go anywhere near comparing it to something like Kingdom Hearts 2, it's up there with the best of the character action games.
Your writing just gets better & better. You & Noah Gervais Caldwell are the 2 best critiquests (Don't think that's a word) ive found on TH-cam by a long way. Take that any way you want it.
Cmon Thor get it together. Its OBVIOUSLY pronounced Sdatcher Also there's something outlandishly charming about Hideo's percieved inspiration of the switch. Not ya know, the Game Boy
@6:16 This is why I love this guy! Great analysis videos but phrases like “Big Fucked” and his manner of speech makes me laugh every time. Keep it up bro! 😆
I play Bayonetta like a fighting game. I think it lends itself to fighting game players more than DMC's weird Hold R1 to do stuff. Bayo's freedom is exhilarating. The issue is that Bayo has an amazing dodge mechanic with a rewarding dopamine hit with Witch Time, while Rising's parry never feels good or even all that rewarding. You kind of have to trust shit is going to work and look godlike by complete accident over and over again. "Well, that happened. Sweet.' defines Rising. Not entirely a bad thing, tbh... kind of fits the tone lol.
I hope we get domething like metal gear rising again. Wether its a sequel or a game indspired by it. It was just too epic. Gameplay wise and character wise. I loved it
Snatcher is great. If you're ever going to play a point and click game, it might as well be Snatcher. Policenauts also. Basically if you like either Metal Gear or Blade Runner, these should both be right up your alley.
Yeah, Rising was kind of a symptom of where the MGS series had found itself by this point, politically as well as tonally. For me, the gameplay was a bit less of a transition as I'd played Madworld and Bayonetta beforehand, so was kind of used to the flippage-cuttery. As for being a parody of the mainline games, I guess it is, sorta, but not by much! That makes both Rising and the core series awesome in tandem, in my opinion. But I guess the whole thing showed how politics could be or go in games - no series has been as intentional or as flippant as that one in that regard. Anyway, I'm waffling. Great vid as always. This series is one of your channel's greatest achievements! I'd suggest you check out Snatcher if you can. You've played Policenauts I think, so you know what to expect in the boobage and creepiness factor, but it's still worth a play nonetheless. I knew about the audio drama one but not that Suda was on it. That fact has pushed me to check it out. Thanks!
It’s kind of wild that 9/11 happened in the mgs universe I mean it kind of seems tame compared to Arsenal gear leveling half of Manhattan a few years later
Yeah, the fact that 9/11 happened in this universe kinda retroactively makes Liquid's motivations in MGS1 seem a little weird, what with him apparently trying to restore war to "a world gone soft", even though, ya know, the war on terror was a thing that was happening at the same time (and yes, I know the game came out 3 years before 9/11, but still).
Etsu Tamari’s original Solid Rising script was amazing according to its localizer (and Revengeance’s localizer) twitter.com/nickroxnrx/status/1113269605059817472?s=21
Hey my dude. I just wanted you to know that you've made me laugh out loud numerous times. You're editing and recordings are hilarious, burps and all. I love your ability to dig into positives as well as the critical issues in the games you've played. I hope you're keeping well and keep up the amazing work, friendo!
If fucking love mgr fighting system, the block mechanic is so much fun on harder difficulty I beat Sam without getting hit ones which is an amazing feeling.
Yeah but I'm going back both of them. I've dug up a lot about survives development and I have A LOT more to day about V now then I did back then. So next part is final part. Thanks again for all the shout outs btw! We should do that podcast idea soon
Metal Gear Rising is not simple, it just has a lower skill floor, as you were talking about before. I mean there's even a difficulty that parrys for you. But, you can do some neat stuff: th-cam.com/video/HuLJ_SumXDg/w-d-xo.html
It's funny, I hated this to begin with. I really liked the idea of "ninja stealth" and seeing Raiden essentially set up the events of MGS4. Even sadder, I think there was talk Raiden would literally be carrying a baby through the battlefield. I think, done right, the vulnerability of the baby could offset the over-powering of Raiden. Anyway, off subject there - I grew to love Rising, as more of a tribute to the series ridiculousness. And I mean that sincerely. It's like Metal Gear with all the sass and trying to be cool, without the worry of suspension of disbelief. And insanely fun and satisfying, once you master the parry system. The way they implemented it gives the feeling that you're handling a blade - with the same button handling both attack and defence, but the context of how you press it being key. Plus I fucking love Zan-Datsu mode. Oh, and sorry I've not been watching your vids as much recently. I've had a lot going on... And also, I've wanted to build up a load of videos so I can binge watch them in one go.
Hmm, I think the majority of people would actually fit under libartarian but eh I'd have to agree wirh Kojima here on quite a few things. But hey good video.
I love your videos. I listen to them the first couple hours before the restaurant I work @ opens. You fuck with Miyazaki @ all? I'm dying to hear you do a video for Dark Souls & Bloodborne & Sekiro. I get they dont have a blatant opening for the satirical comedy you're known for, but I'd love it nonetheless. With how many ppl love the souls games I daresay itd fetch you a hefty portion of ad revenue. Anyway, thanks for the vids, dude. Love em
i havent actually played any of the soulsborne games. i am intimidated by the punishing difficulty. thats actually not a joke a legit dread playing them lol
That's just a selling point. Cuz I've played most of them since I fell for Sekiro & once you get into them they're highly addictive. & there's none of the narcissistic quips & blatant sexism as from a Kojima project. The difficulty to me is like the old Mario games. You die & you replay it until you beat it. Since it's not 1985 anymore theres unlimited continues!!! Hurrah!!! Its not nearly as bad as traversing those freaking rocks or walking the snowy mountain quietly to not rouse the attention of BTs in Death Stranding. C'mon Mr. Sexy hair, give Bloodborne a try. 😂👻
Were you playing the European release of DMC3 or Special Edition? HD? I'd imagine you are aware, but DMC has a history of tweaked difficulties with NTSC OG DMC3 being the most insane.
The HD version on PS3 is the one I last played. Though originally I played the old PC version as a kid, which I had the most trouble with. I'd totally be willing to give the game another shot though. I don't think I really knew what the game expected of me at the time, in regards to the styles and use of healing items.
@@thorhighheels I would think it'd be easier than God Hand at least! Don't be afraid to tank your ratings with items. Or just join the Royal Guard. There is a lot going on though. I remember really struggling on the US originals normal (which was hard everywhere else, and it had its own "American Hard" difficulty specially programmed in). Also I don't comment on things often so let me throw my hat in the ring and echo that I very much enjoy your videos.
Hey, Thor, do you take video suggestions or do you just do what you want? I'm asking because I have a suggestion for the "So I've been playing" (don't want to just throw the suggestion out there if you don't take them cos that'd be rude).
I do and I don't. I tend to wait until playing/reviewing something until I've had the inspiration to write an intro or a few good jokes, but I've certainly made reviews based on things ppl've told me to check out. I also write down all recommendations, so feel free to shoot some game names my way. Just can't promise that'll review it (soon), basically.
Cool, then how about Prey (2017)? I had only heard of it being disappointing, but after playing it, I thought it was a very good game (about an 8/10). It's a pretty long game (especially if you do side missions) so it'd probably take a while to get a video done if you want to do one on it.
I'm one of those DMC wombo combo enthusiast (on the low tier) and this game is really basic and easy. You can spam the parry for 99% of the game, secondary weapons are terribly implemented, there's little variety of normal enemies, reused boss fights near the end... But it's just extremely fun to hack n slash enemies into tiny pieces.
In any hack and slash you can just spam normal attack the whole time, they're always as deep as you want them to be, there's more enemy variety than DMC3 (and much less bullshit,) pretty much every hack and slash reuses boss fights.
sdatcher would probably be written as 'スダッチャー' in japanese, and スダ is Suda. Dude likes dumb wordplay, even the 51 in his name is because his real name is goichi suda, or 5 1 suda
I really like your videos but really not a fan of your politics. That doesn’t mean you should shut up about them. Just figured I’d observe my own observation of both my enjoyment of your work alongside my disagreement with a number of your perspectives. All in all I like this series. Keep it up.
His.. politics? What? Thor is, by the pisspoor standard of modern op-eds on vidya, hilarioisly professional about injecting such stuff. If you're triggered by Thor's tact then fucking everyone must piss you off.
@@audiosurfarchive Nah, honestly its pretty rare. Like 99 percent of the time thor is fine but every once in awhile he isn't. - I suspect when it comes to stuff like this, those that agree with the creator in questuon tend to not notice the small stuff or even fully register it. I've noticed my more progressive friends tend to take note of stuff that I would have never considered to be a marker of political conservatism or right leaning stuff on channels or videos that I otherwise think of as apolitical.
great vid, nice to hear you get more explicitly political, armstrong is imo a randian objectivist, which i only really realised when you made the libertarian analogy... ignore the right wing snowflakes 😂
Trump being far right? Nah fam, you dropped the ball on that one. He is the most anti-war president that country has seen in decades too. I think people compare Armstrong to Trump not because they are alike, but because they are so meme-able.
@@bast01 I don't know man, when people threaten you with nuclear war, I don't think it's pro-war to warn them that you have better nuclear capabilities than them.
He says keeping politics out of games is cowardly and then proceeds to make insufferably political commentary about ideologies he doesn't like, thereby proving exactly why we all agree to not talk about politics in the first place. Keep it in your pants, or don't, it's not like I'll be watching your next video. I'm all out of free passes, after the obnoxious political remarks and digs in previous videos.
Ah yes, Metalgear Rising Revegance -shudders- the game that had such awful writing, pacing and voice acting that it crushed whatever enjoyment I could have gotten from the gameplay. Metal Gear was always jumping sharks with transforming robot anime girls, but MG:RR takes it to an extreme that I cannot even say is so bad it is good. Scenes like the "I can hear the thoughts of the PMCs" and you had to limp around with the character feeling sorry for them, nah mate... maybe pull that shit BEFORE revealing that they are abducting and torturing children. Maybe don't have the normal asinine combat voice lines playing at the same time. Or just let me hack them all up. It and DmC actively made me irritated while playing them, but MG:RR was worse... because at least it's core gameplay wasn't a complete joke. Oh and those Codec calls that lock you into an area with an invisible wall... then you have to traverse the level for another 2-4 minutes after the 2-4 minute codec call ends (remembering one directly after blade wolf). And don't get me wrong, I love me some absurdist japanese writing... But MG:RR was just dumb, heck there is over 30minutes of talking cutscenes at the end with Armstrong (I recorded it for a review of my own back in the day)
I dunno honestly. Only castlevania game I've played is 64, so I'd feel kinda weird dipping into bloodstained without at least trying one of the 2d vanias. But it looks like a great game for sure.

The Senator Armstrong monologue is one of the craziest things I've seen in fiction. And yet, fiction is lagging behind reality when it comes to craziness these days
You'd be hard pressed to find a politician with that level of dedication.
But you would find a politician that is as evil and corrupt
I think it's supposed to be Sudatcher, because that's how the japanese pronounce it and also would be a mix of Suda and Snatcher, and with that Transfaring thing you mentioned later, that sounds like something these two would come up with.
I hadn't ever considered that but I will happy except this as cannon
I appreciate how even when you're being harsh on a game, you still sound super chill.

Suprised we dident get the mobile game even tho I would imagine it was very not f2p ffbe was acctully a game I would have given money to for example
whoa wtf is snake che?
sdatcher would probably be written as 'スダッチャー' in japanese, and スダ is Suda. Dude likes dumb wordplay, even the 51 in his name is because his real name is goichi suda, or 5 1 suda
Swery69 lol
MGS 3 sold like ass? It sold 4 million copies.
the 3ds version
ThorHighHeels Oh my bad man sorry. I thought you were talking about the PS2 version.
I really like your videos but really not a fan of your politics.
That doesn’t mean you should shut up about them. Just figured I’d observe my own observation of both my enjoyment of your work alongside my disagreement with a number of your perspectives.
All in all I like this series. Keep it up.
His.. politics? What?
Thor is, by the pisspoor standard of modern op-eds on vidya, hilarioisly professional about injecting such stuff. If you're triggered by Thor's tact then fucking everyone must piss you off.
@@audiosurfarchive Nah, honestly its pretty rare. Like 99 percent of the time thor is fine but every once in awhile he isn't. - I suspect when it comes to stuff like this, those that agree with the creator in questuon tend to not notice the small stuff or even fully register it.
I've noticed my more progressive friends tend to take note of stuff that I would have never considered to be a marker of political conservatism or right leaning stuff on channels or videos that I otherwise think of as apolitical.
@@cyphermasq7870 I feel that. Cheers bruv.
@@audiosurfarchive thanks you as well!

great vid, nice to hear you get more explicitly political, armstrong is imo a randian objectivist, which i only really realised when you made the libertarian analogy... ignore the right wing snowflakes 😂
i thought you ended this 2 acts ago, but you keep pulling metal gears out of nowhere. wtf
Trump being far right? Nah fam, you dropped the ball on that one. He is the most anti-war president that country has seen in decades too. I think people compare Armstrong to Trump not because they are alike, but because they are so meme-able.
Didn't he Threatened to nuke north Korea tho
@@bast01 Weeeell, true, but Kim started it.
@@Bilaros93 but that doesn't look like something a anti-war person would say
Ah yes, anti-war president with more bombings in Afghanistan and Syria
@@bast01 I don't know man, when people threaten you with nuclear war, I don't think it's pro-war to warn them that you have better nuclear capabilities than them.
MGR has one of the easier parry mechanics ever and he had trouble with it.... big yikes.
Many ppl had, to the point of it even becoming a meme. The game explains it poorly, like I said. No need to be a bitch about it bro
He says keeping politics out of games is cowardly and then proceeds to make insufferably political commentary about ideologies he doesn't like, thereby proving exactly why we all agree to not talk about politics in the first place. Keep it in your pants, or don't, it's not like I'll be watching your next video. I'm all out of free passes, after the obnoxious political remarks and digs in previous videos.
Bye bitch
Ah yes, Metalgear Rising Revegance -shudders- the game that had such awful writing, pacing and voice acting that it crushed whatever enjoyment I could have gotten from the gameplay.
Metal Gear was always jumping sharks with transforming robot anime girls, but MG:RR takes it to an extreme that I cannot even say is so bad it is good.
Scenes like the "I can hear the thoughts of the PMCs" and you had to limp around with the character feeling sorry for them, nah mate... maybe pull that shit BEFORE revealing that they are abducting and torturing children. Maybe don't have the normal asinine combat voice lines playing at the same time.
Or just let me hack them all up.
It and DmC actively made me irritated while playing them, but MG:RR was worse... because at least it's core gameplay wasn't a complete joke.
Oh and those Codec calls that lock you into an area with an invisible wall... then you have to traverse the level for another 2-4 minutes after the 2-4 minute codec call ends (remembering one directly after blade wolf).
And don't get me wrong, I love me some absurdist japanese writing... But MG:RR was just dumb, heck there is over 30minutes of talking cutscenes at the end with Armstrong (I recorded it for a review of my own back in the day)
Do you have plans to ever look at Bloodstained in a video? I would love to hear what you think about both games.
I dunno honestly. Only castlevania game I've played is 64, so I'd feel kinda weird dipping into bloodstained without at least trying one of the 2d vanias. But it looks like a great game for sure.
