Sundowner literally destroyed everyone and everything on his way during war on terror. So that guard being able to last that long against this dude really is impressive
Reminds me of the DBZA Broly movie. Goku: Broly, I'm not telling you how to be the legendary super saiyan, but you're supposed to start small and then work up to it. Broly: I am starting small. Goku: Holy crap.
It's just so awesome how MGS2 ends with Raiden fighting multiple RAYs and getting beaten in the cutscene until Solidus ends the fight, then Revengeance opens with Raiden just effortlessly splitting a RAY in two. 'Trunks returning to the future to kill Android 17 and 18' vibes.
Especially considering this RAY makes it’s older predecessors look like canon fodder. And it would probably solo all of them at once. Makes Raiden all the more impressive. He already scaled to Solid Snake. But now he’s just unstoppable
it's stupid because metal gear rex was a literal mobile nuclear launching facility ( with cannons ), then metal gear ray comes out in MGS 2 a more refined version of Metal Gear Rex, which the invention is now more refined and amphibious; but Raiden comes along ( becomes a fucking power ranger with a stick ), and is able to just throw Metal Gears into the air like they're toys, and then cut it in two. What happened to the nukes? Why did they not blow the fuck up when Ray blew up?
@@knights0fember528 Unless I'm misremembering, Metal Gear RAY was never equipped with nukes. RAY was developed by the USMC as an 'anti-Metal-Gear', designed to be able to hunt and destroy more traditional Metal Gears which were being used as nuclear launch platforms. I agree that Metal Gear Rising is a bit more 'anime' than the previous games in the series, but it's not that out of character; Snake could never have destroyed the original Metal Gear REX without a different cyborg ninja (Grey Fox) first taking out the radome.
@@GothBootsyCollins it's been years since I played MGS 2 ( only a little at that ), so I barely remember any of it ( let alone any of the dialogue ) I just vividly remember the opening ( MGS 2 has a great opening, btw ), and having to sneak around on the tanker.
Back when I first played this game, I knew next to nothing about MGS but I was expecting something more 'serious'. Then Raiden came out, sword in hand and wearing hills to battle. I couldn't take him seriously Also the game seem too _too_ chaotic for me. "What are you trying to do? Copy (og) God of War?" Now, I know better. I can see how awesome both game, and Raiden are.
People were and still are massively pissed off by the bait and switch that was done in MGS2. Nobody wanted Snake to get replaced by some random David Bowie looking guy they never even gave us a hint of in the earlier games. Also the game he first appeared in was a total mindfuck and anyone who played it and sees Raiden any time afterwards is almost certainly bound to get a headache as they get flashbacks of the plot.
They were... Before we had cyborg ninja samurais and clones of the greatest soldier alive and to be fair, Ray is one of the weaker metal gears out there since it's strength is mass production rather than Rex's Tough armor or Zeke's modularity.
That’s literally the message of the song Metal gear, The once latest and greatest military weapons made, are now completely obsolete Just like a predator on the verge of death
6:51 I paid full price for this game and for a controller with haptic feedback. It was around $75 for it all. This part of the fight alone was worth $100.
mind you, this is designed to take down the same robot that only needed some WD-40 after being locked away in the blown up shadow moses for years on end
They had replicas- blueprints to MG’s ALMOST EVERYWHERE. It wouldn’t be far-fetched that Desperado, a PMC, mind you, to get a functioning model on board.
This fight is perhaps the greatest way to show how warfare changed in the Metal Gear universe. The idea that the pivotal, terrifying, nuclear mechas the series is named after can now literally be suplexed into irrelevance is pretty terrifying when you think about it. What was the most stressful fight in the endgame of MGS2 is now the _tutorial_ in MGR. Metal Gears are out. War has evolved, become more terrifying. But the motive never changes.
It's like what happened to battleships, they dominated the seas and used to be the main focus of the naval powers, after the invention of the planes and the aircraft carrier they just went extinct
I had my low spec PC run the prologue in highest end settings. So the game was a bit slow but the epic climaxes of RULES OF NATUREEEEE!!!!!!!!!! were even more epic because of this. The quick time events lasted long and I heard more of the song. It was so epic!!! Especially the second phase where Raiden runs on missiles. The slow motion made it straight up cinematic!!!!! BEST, FIRST PLAYTHROUGH, EVERRRRR!!!!!!!!
Is it just me or does Raiden remind me of Leon from Resident Evil. Think about it, a character who sort of a rookie gets turned into a badass protagonist in what is probably the most beloved entry in the series. They try to be all cool and quip. They are expert in bladed combat They have awesome hair. They're both also my favourite characters in each series.
The fact that Boris is more shocked that Desperado had a Metal Gear Ray and not that Raiden was fighting one, as well as how bored he sounded at the end of the fight, just makes me think Raiden fighting Metal Gears is a Tuesday to them.
Just wanted to appreciate Metal Gear Ray in this fight. Coming out of the water is still as cool as ever and it managed a pretty good fight against Raiden getting slammed around and both its arms cut off but still trying to win.
“Metal gear to kill all metal gears” my ass it can’t even beat a heavily injured REX and a fucking cyborg with a katana and a Brazilian with a exoskeleton suit
It's one thing to listwn to the banger of a song on UA-cam. It's another thing entirely when you actually played the game and realize why the song is such a banger and why this game is so awesome. AND IT'S THE FIRST GODDAMN BOSS OF THE GAME! 😂
Even the Shagohod had such a feature, which by this point was about 60 ish years old (since completion, designs likely predated that time by a few decades)
When I first played the game I went through every mode up to Revengeance (still playing the AI monsoon keeps murdering me after I murder AI mistral) I didn’t even know you could parry metal gear ray and then instantly use blade mode on him, so I went the entire game not even knowing that and realizing on the last mode.
I remember losing my mind when I played through this sequence. Didn't know what to expect and to be honest didn't have the highest opinion of it when I first saw the trailers, didn't seem like a Metal Gear game to me, and it wasn't. This is the complete opposite of a Metal Gear game but it was great in it's own right and was refreshing to be honest. I love the stealth emphasis of the Metal Gear Solid series but Rising:Revengeance was crazy fun.
I swear , why everybody hate on the Metal Gear Ray in the mgs universe !? That shit is supposed to be capable of taking nuclear fire and swim more fast than any capable warship can sails. Yet Solidus curbstomped three of them with a fucking p90 and an exosquellette ( while he was a fucking old man ) , snake swimmed as faster than one ( while being a regular ass human ) ! An almost destroyed not used for year Metal Gear Rex fucked one over easily ! And now Raiden and Sam just stomp them for breakfast like the previous protagonist did ! This thing is supposed to be a threat but Zeke , Rex and Peace Walker seems more threatning ... hell... well Ray , you go on the failure quarter with the Salaenthrofails and Shagofail
And this was the fcking first boss! Man, I wish I could just forget all the 100 times I've played this game and just start fresh to be blown away all over again!

When the tutorial boss is a giant robot with lasers, missles and swords, it's a good game.
This is a game where you turn effect sounds down to listen to the banger soundtrack
So this Ray's main weapon has gone from a highly pressurized water canon to a giant f off lassr
Is it just me or does Raiden remind me of Leon from Resident Evil.
Think about it, a character who sort of a rookie gets turned into a badass protagonist in what is probably the most beloved entry in the series.
They try to be all cool and quip.
They are expert in bladed combat
They have awesome hair.
They're both also my favourite characters in each series.
Bruh I thought I was the only one to think about this
Also they help original protagonist on several occasions (snake/chris)
Their girlfriends looks the same as well (Rose and Ada) Although Raiden and Rose are married
And now they are both able to party shit that should be physically impossible.
I wanted to check the credits of the respective games to find out if any actors played both characters. but apparently not and it's just a coincidence
7:04 *casually flips a building sized giant robot with a literally skyscraper for a sword*
And this was the first boss in the game.

7:18 Raiden wipes the blood off the sword but... what blood?
Force of habit
Robot Juice
The original RAY featured a blood-like repair-paste, this upgraded model has the standard 'electrolyte' paste to power it's muscles.
I love how RAY's entrance is meant to reference the MG RAY entrance from MGS4, during the REX vs RAY bossfight.
I see you Konami, I see you.
If you parry Ray’s attacks , you can enter the blade mode stages faster (parry the stomp, break the armor, parry the tail, break the tail)
Notice how Raiden wasn’t focusing on killing Ray, he was just trying to get Sundowner. If he were focusing on Ray, it would be killed so quickly.
"Finish that bastard off!" > "Stop that blade!"
I still love this game
Just wanted to appreciate Metal Gear Ray in this fight. Coming out of the water is still as cool as ever and it managed a pretty good fight against Raiden getting slammed around and both its arms cut off but still trying to win.

That RAY is so tenacious, you'd think it was possessed by Liquid.
feels like in most games this would be a final boss but in metal gear rising Revengeance , its the tutorial boss
I never understood why some metal gear roar such as ray here. Do they all roar like animals or what?
I have the same question
PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE SON, THEY WEAKEN SOLDIERS PYSCHE,same logic for gekkos and any other metal gear so when you hurt them they sound like hurt
Even the Shagohod had such a feature, which by this point was about 60 ish years old (since completion, designs likely predated that time by a few decades)
Got to say, Fighting MG Ray is far easier than fighting Blade Wolf and I'm not joking.
Just nuked him a few minutes ago and he was a PAIN.
I dont even know why i like this game
Because it's fun and badass.
great gameplay, amazing soundtrack, dumb but funny and enjoyable plot, i can continue...
The storm that is approaching
During the phase one for mg ray, when it try’s to charge at you, block the attack so you can get rid of its head armor
I wish we got to see snake and otacons reaction to all of the wild and crazy shit that happened in news
0:15 metal gear rising... Literally.
0:29 holy shit the music in this part tho

funniest part of this is that raiden flips his blade around like he’s done not one, not two, but THREE times in this boss fight
2:51 and this as well
This is like the video game adaptation of most modern Bollywood action movies
2:44 good music transition
Metal Gear Ray is the best boss in this game, and as for me, his phase 2's beam attack kinda reminds me of S-02 from Amazing Spider-Man. I dunno why.
It's criminal that no other game utilized the "cut your shit" mechanic
That’s Metal Gear! It’s already active!!
I thought everyone knew this, but you can parry every single attack from Metal Gear Ray, except for the plasma beam and missiles.

This thing is supposed to be a threat but Zeke , Rex and Peace Walker seems more threatning ... hell... well Ray , you go on the failure quarter with the Salaenthrofails and Shagofail
Agility advantage when plot armor walks in:
The rex thing is kind of understandable
Rex had some advantages like being able to walk while shooting and being indestructable
how to beat sundowner: throw a rock at him.
