    Just for an explanation. Monsoon is using the term "meme" in the proper, *educated* way. The internet definition is a glorified bastardization of "memetic device" which essentially is a trait passed along without the use of genes or genetics. They actually rhyme, funnily enough.
    This game is so memorable because people associate "meme" with stupid internet jokes and that makes Monsoon simultaneously sound hilarious while also probably being smarter than most people on Twitter who listen to the cutscene out of context.

    • @secularidiot9052
      @secularidiot9052 Рік тому +97

      Memetics is a wacky field. The idea that concepts are subject to the natural forces of evolution just as much as living organisms are is a really intriguing thought. Concepts and ideologies change to better accommodate a wider audience, and people will adapt them to their culture, spreading the ideas further. However, the "memetic device" is an entirely fictional concept. There is not any type of object that forces an idea on you simply by observing it. In fact, I'm pretty sure memetic devices were conceptualized by the horror writers over on the SCP website. That would make sense as they also came up with the anti-meme, something that forces you to forget.

      @Josh Josh there is a difference tho. when people say dont put politics into games its because a game company only puts 1 side of the political isle in the game, then condemns the other and makes out their politics is the correct one even if it is flawed.
      and im not on about obvious stuff like nazis on wolfenstein or terrorists blowing up people etc im on about stuff we actually argue on in real life and dont have clear right answers.
      in mgr tho it takes 2 different sides of an argument both still based on a form of fiction and not something that would happen in real life (not to that extent at least) and humanises BOTH of them and doesnt make a clear winner as it is debated that armstrong actually had some points especially towards raidens attitude to killing for "justice" when really he gets a lot of pleasure from the actual act himself and is killing for his ideals but at the same time so are they. but raiden has a point because those who cant fight will perish in armstrongs world and wouldnt even stand a chance in the first place. but again armstrong makes the point that raiden went through the exact same thing and became stronger for it.
      see how in just 1 small conversation if you really consider everything the game and its characters and songs are trying to present you can not only understand both arguments but people have sparked actual healthy debates about both sides and there are people who disagree with armstrong but appreciate his character and even like him or maybe better word is respect him and there are people who disagree with raiden but they again like him and respect him. its even the theme of the end battle that both characters have this mutual understanding and respect for each others principles and the fact they would die for them. its not about money or fame or power its about actually trying to change the world for what they believe is the best and they will give their own lives to achieve it.
      but in most games as mentioned above its either "republicans bad and evil we are correct only us" or "democrats bad and evil we are correct only us" which is just pathetic and wrong and i dont like being forced to agree with something in a video game that is basing itself on real world events.

    The idea of Raiden trying to "blend in" only to get absolutely SCAMMED is PRICELESS
    2. Not only did Sam not have any cybernetic engancements aside from his arm, but its implied that his cybernetic arm was acrively hampering him as he just couldn't get used to it (unlike most of the bosses who have likely been cyborgs for years if not decades)
    3. The symbolism of the final battle, while obvious, is pretty well done
    Raiden spent the whole game cutting through everyone, dismantling their respective ideoligies
    But when he gets to Armstrong, he's met with a metaphorical and literal brick wall
    Its only when he adopts Sam's philosophy and incorporates a part of Armstrong's that he finally wins

If I recall correctly (it's been a long time since I played this), it is the very first skill to purchase. That skill will allow you to actually evade attacks and even get yourself on lot of Senator's attacks, which will also make him far easier to fight than just using parry and running/jumping like headless chicken to evade him.
